I’m just mad that rappers like Kanye and others got to pull stunts and do crazy shyt to sell records.. meanwhile Post Malone out here selling all the records by just performing and shyt. The dude even said don’t listen to hiphop if you’re emotional. It is what it is though #StreamLife

It’s simple numbers. People want to listen to someone that looks like them. There are more whites than blacks in the US. With the availability of music greater now than ever people are still choosing to listen to music in their little bubble and that’s it. I’m sure there are many Post Malone fans that think he originated his sound simply because they refuse to listen to any none white rappers to know any better.

This is how I see it. Eminem dropped a :trash: album recently and it did crazy numbers off that fact alone.

I'm just saying.....in the hip hop world Pusha made noise...but that noise in hip hop didnt do anything to affect the charts. It stands out that he went down 6 spots after being in hoopla for the past 2 weeks. The Kanye and Drake hype...a lyrical album....an edge in a rap battle....and yet the hip hop aspect of it all didnt affect the charts. Its an interesting observation.
:russell:

Pusha is plugged, has endorsements deals with Adidas, dropped a dope ass album, is the President of GOOD Music and has never tried going pop, so I highly doubt he gives a flying fukk about the shyt you're talking about in this post.

The shyt with Drake is just another piece of his legacy in HipHop.

For an album with minimal promotion those are amazing numbers. :wow:
Going viral on social media (for the wrong reasons), TMZ/blog coverage and having arguably the two most famous emcees speak about you (Snoop and 50 Cent) isn't small marketing and promotion cheap.

drake is a jewish pop star that promotes his albums fully with videos

Kanye is a black man with no album promo
Being Jewish is a religion not an ethnicity or race and I assume you are Christian and both religions are technically the same sans tradition.

But I agree with your opinion that Drake is trash, I just don't get why Americans hate Jews so much?

Also, Judaism began in North Africa it is not a European culture though they have stolen it as theirs now it did not belong to them. There is a reason why all of these religions have the same concepts because they all originated from one place.

Pusha T always doing 70 something first week.. The Kanye aspect and beef should've helped him Push more than his usual. No pun

By the way "pop star numbers" is dumb. Rappers selling the most out here, most of these pop stars outside of the elite flopping. Tinashe out here moving 10k.
Pusha' s last album did around 50k first week
