Album was the result of 3 years of hype/anticipation. A hit mixtape. A hit beef record, a hit pop record, a hit collab mixtape with the hottest rapper of 2015 and a highly publicized beef. The album itself wasn't good and won't have the legs that A great album like Take Care had. It'll go on to sell less than NWTS and Take Care.

It's just not a good project. Plus, I saw in an interview that he only started working on the album in September of 2015 :mindblown:

You hype that album up for that long as your magnum opus and you only work on it for 5 months or so?

While not writing most of it or producing any of it?

and it still suck :wtf:

No Way Out had ghostproducers and ghostwriters and is a certified classic. Half the album was a hit single.

only 180k? :heh:

Most of his main supporters bought it the week it dropped which was good for him. Even though how they finagling the numbers is sus....180k is still good. I haven't listened to the album and don't plan to, but insinuating that moving 180k in this climate is some kind of failure sales wise is :dahell:

I don't get your point.

You're saying you've never met anyone that doesn't listen to Drake,

There are people who never met anyone who doesn't like Justin Bieber either. What does that even mean?

Because you're in the minority doesn't mean that the majority is right or they have better taste :jbhmm:

To be fair, more people were buying music back then tho.

He would sell just as much in those eras.

I can't even see him existing in that era let alone going plat innit with blackberry "freestyles" and a concentration camp of nikkas writing his stuff:yeshrug:

The drop in numbers from 1st week to 2nd week
Everybody's numbers drop like that from week 1 to week 2, especially in hip hop. The way big acts keep their numbers up is how they stay consistent and hover in the top 50 weeks and months from now. The fact of the matter is, regardless of the reviews he's still selling. The idea of "haha it's only 180k this week" isn't even worth grasping the straw. 180k on its own is the highest selling in hip-hop so far this year.
