you shouldn't let sales dictate anything, all that means is that people are willing to go out and buy his music. the quality of Drake's new album isn't that great if we're being realistic.

These stans think his fanbase of high school girls means anything. Most of his "fans" are just middle school and high school girls.

:what:

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 :jbhmm:).

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.
It was getting play on rock stations.

but according to The Coli... Drake fell off & people ain't feeling him like that anymore... :skip:

"Bu, bu, but Views is going to be the end of Drake's run :damn:"

"Bu, bu, but sales don't mean anything to me :damn:"

"Bu, bu, but I don't check for Drake so that means he didn't really sell that much :damn:"

Dudes are so furious right now, they're just throwing stuff at the wall to make themselves feel better :laff:

:russell: I already told you that pop changes over time. What's pop in 1999 is not gonna sound like what's pop in 2016, but conveniently ignore this because you want to give Em the realness card.

and bringing up Guilty Conscience is beside the point. But since you want to go there, Guilty Conscience is like Drake's 0 to 100 or 10 Bands. A straight up rap record.

Just because you're a pop rapper doesn't mean you can't make straight up rap records.



breh, how old are you? This convo is pointless if you were a toddler in '99.

I was in high school in '99. I knew what pop music sounded like because most people around me were into pop. "My Name Is" was aimed that them.

end of story

this nikka is 36 and is voted the WOAT on a message board:laff::laff::laff::laff::laff:

toddler in 1999? i'm 27 going on 28 :snoop: i was in junior high back when that dropped. i like to seperare pop music with the usual mainstream rap. My Name Is might not be a full fledged hip hop record but it isn't some crossover type steez that Drake does.

That's more than I anticipated

1500* = 10 songs = album sale that's where I got the 10 songs from
yup *1500
you said 10 streams = album sale

heres what they have here :

RIAA DEBUTS ALBUM AWARD WITH STREAMS - RIAA

After a comprehensive analysis of a variety of factors – including streaming and download consumption patterns and historical impact on the program – and also consultation with a myriad of industry colleagues, the RIAA set the new Album Award formula of 1,500 on-demand audio and/or video song streams = 10 track sales = 1 album sale. Also effective today, RIAA’s Digital Single Award ratio will be updated from 100 on-demand streams = 1 download to 150 on-demand streams = 1 download to reflect the enormous growth of streaming consumption in the two plus years since that ratio was set.

but Drake gets play on Z-100 & KTU which are pop stations, so where you gettin at? other outlets will play other music, Em isn't a hip hop soul artist so they put him in the Rock category. not to mention My Name is samples a soft rock record so maybe that's why they played his music.
