It's been time to separate sales from what's really hot and buzzing. Validating hip hop music through what homos, school kids and koreans consume has gone far enough. You can't judge quality through those metrics. Nowadays you have rappers specifically pandering to mainstream audiences and I'm supposed to respect the music when it actually sells? Hell no:mjlol:

Even if Nas sold 2K, does that suddenly erase his greatness? Is Nas now a bad rapper because a 30-year vet didn’t do big first-week numbers in 2025? I’m genuinely confused what people think this proves.

Like are we pretending legacy works backwards now? That decades of classic albums get revoked because of sales at age 50+? Y’all are weird.

i respect it for just doing an album to do it.

That being said I could only make it through 5 tracks and turned it off. That New York state of mind was :trash:
