He better do close to a million with all that promo...COD,ESPN,MTV2,Revolt,Rap City etc..haven't seen a push like this in a while.

Album is borderline trash though

Drake was all over the place too. FIFA and doing all those ESPN shows and all the music networks too.

Why yall so mad?

exactly!! nikkas is mad a white rapper is selling records. i would rather him go plat than mackelmore or MGK, atleast eminem is a great rapper atleast his songs are him spitting and not that bs macklemore puts out... Yall should be happy that a lyrical rapper did well in this climate. I'm tired of these black artists not being able to rap,and making this club songs all day..

Right... These same white people were the ones buying all the rap albums in the last 90s

The music has fallen off a cliff and is nowhere near as good as it used to be... All rap is now is about bytches, bottles, and smoking weed (which most of them don't even actually do), there is no creativity anymore. At least Eminem raps about things outside of those three subjects!

MAD MAD MAD!!!

plz don't turn this into some racial bullshyt. Let's celebrate a hip-hop act selling crazy records...smh.

Exactly! the bigger picture here is this is a hip hop album. Being that this board is hip hop inspired you would think this would be celebrated more.

Where is the proof that they arent?

Just look at this board. There are avid black male hip hop fans who admit they havnt purchased an album in 10 years. You're living in the 90s

- from a 2005 article http://poplicks.com/2005/06/who-buys-hip-hop.html

Yea I know too many black people that proudly admit to not buying albums, but yet this guy acts like we all of a sudden changed our stance for Drake and Jay z

Damn, you're determined to prove that whites are the only ones who purchase rap, aren't you? Well, let's start somewhere else. According to Nielsen Soundscan, 24.20 million rap albums were sold in the U.S. in 2012.

http://www.statista.com/statistics/188910/us-music-album-sales-by-genre-2010/

Not ONE rap album released in 2012 was platinum by the year's end, so therefore, a large majority of rap purchased was not released that year. You already stated that whites drive the rap 'superstars' album sales. If not one album went platinum by year's end and 24 million rap albums were purchased, are you going to claim its whites going back and buying up all the albums not released that year, outside of the superstars might I add? The 70% figure is bullshyt, plain and simple.

Drake Jay or Em, Kanye, or any other big superstar dropped an album last year. so ofcourse not, I mean what album that came out last year that should have went plat Kendrick, Nikki? You dont think the majority of kendricks sales came from white people? you know nikki has a strong white demographic... Black people dont even support their family most of the time, you think they buying rap albums?

Prove 70% of rap albums are bought by whites. If not, nothing to discuss. It makes much more sense to say whites buy 70% of music total, but 70% of rap albums? Nope...and no one has proved me wrong yet.
