He doesn't have acclaimed albums so what point are you trying to make?

His shyt is B- on down to D+ on Metacritic. He's about as middle of the road critically as you can get.

I'm talking about his latest album. The biggest songs off it aren't rap. Critics are comparing him to Taylor Swift and Beyonce. Come on The Coli....fools are asking why rap fans aren't doing cartwheels over it. It's not rocket science.



Damn near his entire album is charting because of the new streaming rules.

If any of those rap songs hit #1, that's a different story. Which ain't likely because the first #1 in his entire career wasn't a rap song. Neither was his second closest, which was "Hotline Bling".

Fred.

So a song gotta hit #1 before its considered popular? The top #2 -- #50 songs in America that represents airplay, streams, sales aint relevant? Damn. who knew. I wonder what metric thecoli will make up next to decide whats hot.

And until hip hop media is made up of more brothas than white boys I cant give a damn about a metacritic. real talk

If you look at the Hip Hop charts, for example, All The Way Up feels bigger than every Drake song except One Dance but it's not higher than them.

The streaming kinda fukks shyt up cause Album cuts are "popular"

Fair. I don't follow either, but I like what I like :yeshrug:

What you fukkin with right now that is new?
I feel you, I mean it really is what it is.

Tbh, I like that new diddy MMM tape, its got some inspirational stuff on it. Then I've been slapping some Rocko, its not new but I like the message and such.

Some Pete Rock


This




And then some old Wiley. Tunnel vision 2 and treddin on thin ice. Trying to stay away from the negative stuff, its a trap

Wbu? Did that new skeppy come out? I'm kinda bummed he's throwing out this whole bad boy image promoting negativity like its cool. Dude always seems like such a sell out its a bummer, but I guess to restore that ukg feeling he has to be on some gang shyt.

I used to like Drake, but he bores me now.

He's still winning though, sometimes it is just what it is, he found a formula and a lot of people fukk with it. Let him cook

:mjlol: mad as fukk cuz views was mediocre
can't even form a coherent post :mjlol:
you're on autopilot Elaine, and I am concerned.

Let me spell this out for you since you're dumber than a box of rocks: If the shyt is as mediocre and boring as you say it is, it shouldn't selling or having an impact past the first week.

I guess Justin Beiber, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift make the *best* music industry and *timeless, classic* albums. Orrrr is it that pop stars get the most fans because they are the most easily accessible artists on the market? :ohhh:
Is Drake an unknown artist who topped the chart with Views because of his groundbreaking tropical house larrymusic or is it because he's a household name whos music is listened to en masses because he's culturally relevant as a rap/pop act? Which do you think, Ms Elaine? :jbhmm:

nikka, Katy Perry doesn't sell and Drake sells higher than JB. Again this notion that pop sells is a cock of shyt and so it doesn't surprise me that it's being repeated around these parts. Pop artists are only doing 120K first week if they're lucky.

And according to the industry, TS last album was the best one out, better than Kendrick's. :heh:

The music industry is first and foremost a business; a fact that you dusty nikkas can't wrap your head around.



And side note, Drake has been "culturally relevant" for 7 years (and counting) now. Pop stars are usually gone within 2 years and rap stars 5. :dame:
