He haa a point. I never understood the point of arguing sales in the era of 'album-equivalent units.'

But at the same time, it artificially inflates numbers for a lot of artists. Artists selling 80k but certified Gold or some shyt:heh:

every other mother fukkers talking about first week sales as if they had some personal financial investment in one hit wonders was pretty obnoxious. quality lasts and just because everyone or no one likes an artist should have 0 importance in your life. a personal win for me is something like a blowjob and a cheesesteak on the same day, not whether lil yung man having the streets of toledo on lock but only going double wood
