Never checked for his work outside of Carti but the album is fire. I played four songs straight and didn't even know because he transitioned them so well

I mean all that is cool but it doesn't change the fact that other genres are moving more physical copies than rappers.
Not even sure what the disagreement is about at this point.
And as far as Olivia Rodrigo, probably not. As @Rozay Oro said several places have "limited edition" vinyl versions of the album.
You cats keep using the term "merch" which was what Travis Scott did. Buy a hoodie, get the album "free".
Twice sold a CD with merch included (poster, pics, etc.) with it. It's apples and oranges.
Vinyl has been outselling CDs for a while. And has made a resurgence among younger people, which is how random ass pop acts like Twice, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift are doing so much in physical sales.

Oh well yeah that explains it then…other genres have fans buying physical vinyl copies as hipster novelty collectors items…my guess is that random underground rap groups with a bunch of fans into to that type of shyt (I’m gonna throw RTJ out there without having no idea what their actual numbers are) probably have higher percentage of physical sales than most other rap acts too
Best Buy stopped selling CD’s three years ago.
They DO however sell Vinyl in store now.
I wouldn’t say its weird to want a physical copy of music you enjoy. I still purchase all Nas, Jay, Kendrick, and Common albums on physical strictly for collection purposes and because usually those artists have great album art.
But I’m DEFINITELY streaming first night of release. Thats the norm now

The internet has increased the flow of all types of musicians, all genres bro, not just rap, rap fans are fickle as fukk that’s all it’s about, look how fans on here act

yeah …the vinyl thing to me is some niche collector, hobbyist type thing…not necessarily about the consumption of music…like a person that buys the vinyl of some album still listens to the music more often than not streamed off their phone…while the vinyl sits on a shelf somewhere collecting dust until they pull it out to try to impress company maybe a couple times a year…
Is Polo G the new Nas and J Cole?Oh really? post a song of his on Nas level
Why do you feel he's dope?
I see his buzz but I don't take to him.
What are his best joints?
Anyone?

I don't get Polo G appeal at all. At least with Youngboy and Durk there's lots of personality and charm with their music..They're creative and have charisma. This dude sounds like the rest of the pain music clones imo. His stardom is just confusing af.
And every beat sound the same …. Same piano laced pain track
