At the beginning of mean streets
Forbes just dropped an article about her taking over and now she #1 on the charts??


:patrice:

She ain't take over shyt. Like someone else said, it's a singles market. Everyone churning out single after single with nothing to show for it. How much did her album sell? How much of that is she taking home? Do anybody even show up to her shows?

Just shows how much times have changed when people actually think making hits says more than actual album sales. I'd be surprised if she even goes gold.

looks like they were just waiting for that Nicki Minaj train to slow down before releasing the hounds with the white version to duplicate & surpass what Nicki did. definitely a methodical marketing move, and how they get all these other entities on board simultaneously is really interesting.

Song has a ton of radio airplay because it has a catchy pop hook.

Nothing more.

Iggy could never get a number 1 without a pop feature.

The white takeover is greatly exaggerated.

Asher Roth just did 6k first week

Macklemore last album and mgk album did about 220k, far less than many black rappers.

Yelawolf hasn't dropped in 3 years and his only album did under 200k.

Iggy has a hit but doubt she'll move albums.

Macklemore (and of course eminem) is the only recent white rapper who poses a threat of a takeover cause he has album sales, multiple big singles, and acclaim

Aussie white girl rapping like a black southerner? That does sound to me like something that would be popular in today's market. We already embraced the former law enforcement drug lord and looked pass a gangsta who brags about kissing his daddy on the mouth.

mac miller was a threat also but he turned down alot of major label deals "allegedly" ...you remember when that "college kid" push was kind of heavy years ago but just stopped? I do agree with your point about asher roth and yelawolf though
