First week sales only determine the momentum going into a project; not whether or not it is actually good.

idk why people are calling the buyers dumb because Views is lackluster, they didnt know before purchasing.

and on the other side of the spectrum idk how people are calling Views a classic from the numbers.

on another note, if there was no Meek Mill & no DRAM, those numbers wouldnt be like that.

on another nother note, Drake is doing his thing in pop culture; cant hate. But like KRS said, in terms of the writers/legends in this thing called hip-hop, Drake holds 0 weight.

I align this album/Drake now right next to 3 Oh3, Mackelmore or LMFAO. Its rap/hip-hop music but not for rap fans.

first week sales indicate nothing but buzz.

First week sales being hailed as a sign of something being popular is nothing but whore behaviour.

Something picked up by impressionable young men who watch their moms trade food stamps for cash to buy knock off dooney purses from the beauty shop.

edit: with that being said, I didn't read OP and had no idea this was a drake thread. :heh:
