I just randomly looked at the Nas MAGIC sales thread when he did 22k

And I see a lot of “it was a surprise drop on a holiday weekend..of course the numbers won’t be as high as his last album” replies in there :sas2:

I wonder why the difference of opinion now :sas1:

Had to hit you with a low quality post warning off this dumb ass take.

Nas been rapping since 1991. Drake is in the prime of his career. There is no "difference of opinion", it's apples and oranges.

In 2022, The biggest rapper in the game shouldn’t need 1998 style album roll outs with single video, single video, radio interviews etc.

Just saying I’m dropping should be enough. Unless your saying he’s past his prime

*It quoted you twice..couldn’t delete it

Not comparing the careers

I’m comparing the narrative from when Nas dropped king disease 2 to the unannounced surprise album MAGIC …went from like 60k to 20k

To drake dropping CLB to the unannounced surprise Album 600 to 200

It’s basically the same math..but yet the “the numbers won’t be the same cuz it’s a surprise on a holiday weekend” logic only applies to one of the rappers

Why is that?

How the mighty have fallen. Comparing the expectations for the biggest rapper in the world to a legacy artist who has no radio footprint anymore. 22k is solid for Nas, 27 YEARS into his career. You know what’s not solid? Under 300k for the biggest rapper in the world. I said it for Kendrick and I’ll say it for drake because I’m not a coward.

IF these projections hold up, you lose.
