Op update the numbers

 

[SirBiatch]

you call this pop? are there any hooks that's being sung like Drake is doing on this entire album? nah bruh

Dude's talking about the Spice Girls, Nine Inch Nails, Pamela Anderson and stupid shyt like that with a goofy sing-song chorus on some Bloodhound Gang shyt (also Interscope, what a coincidence ).

How old are you, breh? Because "My Name Is" was straight up pop when it came out. Cutesy, jokey suburban pop-rap.

Y'all acting like Em came out with It Aint Hard To Tell or some shyt like that. Dude was a pop rapper from jump. The sound of pop always changes because pop vultures whatever's the real shyt at any given moment. But we know pop when we hear it - at least I do.

they really fukked this sales system up, they might have to do away with certifications. no way this album was 2x as hyped as Graduation or the carter 3

Lol when have Jewish people ever played fair...

 

[Shadow King]

People listening to your album on a stream counts as a sale?

10 streams of a song from an album = 1 sale

He put 20 songs on there to basically get double album figures as far as streaming is concerned

Did more than Kendrick did in a week in 1 day  it's undebateable who is the best rn

Am i the only one that hasnt had even the SLIGHTEST of temptations to ever cop a Drake album?

Hater.

Nah. Kendrick is better but Drake is more marketable. No doubt both are at the top tho.

But he's projected to do/did 800-850k just purely off album sales

 

[Lifer11]

Maybe so. I didnt expect it to do 600,000 first day. I thought it would do like 5-600,000 first week.

Thats what I was thinking too...maybe a mill tops but no way 600,000 in less than 48 hrs

The song is pretty poppy man. Don't lie. Yeah he's rhyming better than 99.99% of pop rappers are but the beat and hook is pretty poppy.

i think it's more impressive with Em, dude came out the gate rapping his ass off. had underground verses and all, got signed by Dr. Dre and took off after that. Em just started to go full pop. Drake been pop since he started.

I have no problem with Em's skills he's just not who should be the face of the culture in 15-20 years.

And Drake should be seen as pop rap perfected. Or maybe better put, the nail in the coffin of rap going full blown pop. Meaning mainstream media now completely controls the narrative, the mainstream media played no part in Nas and Jay but look what it did with Drake and Meek.
