If we are being real
IYRTITL's singles (know yourself etc.) were way bigger than Views
Yeezus' singles (new slaves etc.) were way bigger than Pablo
Beyonce's singles (drunk in love) were bigger than Lemonade

So even from a popularity perspective it's ehh
There are new artists out there waiting for a chance and there is no reason to be hung up on the older ones still

Hotline Bling is one of the biggest songs of the entire decade. Life of Pablo was essentially a mixtape, it was never intended to be considered on the level of the rest of his studio albums. With Beyonce, her singles for that self-titled album were better than Formation imo but Lemonade is still a massive hit for her fanbase (which isn't going to be most people on this site) and it's still selling well

i felt like this was the case 10 years ago. i didn't even know mixtapes still dropped like that these days, i thought that shyt was irrelevant now lol
If that were the case, why would livemixtapes and datpiff still exist and be hugely popular? I think more people are up on them sites now than back in the day. nikka you're just out the loop of current music. The fact that you think Views just came and went proves it. If you were to kick it with a young female (18/19/early 20's) you'd definitely hear that album

Hotline bling was huge but was never intended to be a views track but a standalone remix to cha cha that was included because it blew up. The Weeknd did the same thing by including the 50 shades song on his album. You are probably right that it's hard for us to really know about beyonce since the beyhive isn't here

ye lost me with the life of pablo and i ain't even a fan of drake or beyonce but what the fukk is goin' on with music this year? usually all 3 of these names shut shyt down and have shyt on lock

all their music done came and went with the wind


All three have never really given uz great skilled submissions.
Just real good pr based moves that most sheep minded people fall for.

nikkaz in here making dug negative infinity.
The new will smith before six degrees of separation is remade and recast with the xxx director's cut coming later on DVD for the gay community.
Plus, the equivalent of Diana Ross with no really good records other than crazy in love.
Act as y'all litmus test for what is supposed to get you excited or keep you invested in music.

Good luck with that,.....

Yeah you're right, I forgot that the original song existed tbh. But yeah IYRTITL's singles were bigger though, but Views is still selling.
Can't take you serious Breh....all that shyt on your breath
Is that your answer?

I'm not a Beyonce fan but her album has had huge social impact, the coli is completely out of touch when it comes to her

Drake's album is really geared towards women

Hip hop needs to learn from Adele, Jay Z, Nas, The Weeknd.

Don't put out 800 songs a year!!! Take a year off and Barey release music or just tour. Let that shyt bubble. Don't do 150 interviews talking about your upcoming album. Be mysterious different and not available all the time.

Look at Weeknd--don't even like dudes music, but he put his shyt out damn near anonymously and didn't do any interviews etc. and had people fiending for anything about him. 4 ish years later dude had 3 top 10 billboard songs in a year.
