Say two of the biggest rappers in the game and two A-listers need their careers saved brehs

Theyre on the edge of oblivion

when was the last time you bumped magna carta

how was that last kanye album

 

[Rigby.]

I think Kanye and Jay need each other at this point. Jay to keep Kanye from going completely off the deep end and Kanye to make Jay not boring.

Kanye was like the most relevant rapper in the game when that post was made and would probably be top 5 now

And Jay don't give a fukk about rapping he's damn near 50

Retardation

I want a jay premo album. No matter the subject matter or even the thought of dumbing down it would sell regardless

Relevant. His last album shipped platnum and sold gold. Hes losing his relevancy. He needs a hit and with a hit solo album and then watch the throne 2, he could renew his lease.


Retardation? You're getting close to the edge. I think you need to slow down.

Why are you using sales as a measure of relevancy? Even using this archaic measure, name say 10 rappers putting better numbers than Yeezus, his least promoted and most minimalist effort. Sales are dumb, Thug is definitely one of the more relevant artists and he sold nothing.

going all the way to Africa to record how rich they are and how many white celebrities and fashion designers they hang out with

Because as their sales diminish so does the quality of their music.

No...it doesn't. TPAB sold less than GKMC but it definitely isn't because quality of music. It's a bit more advanced than just that. Yeezus wasn't meant to sell alot or appeal to alot of people. SHMG is and likely will go platinum

Im talking about these particular artists. The worse the music is for jay and kanye, the worse the sales.

Not tryna hear another album of Kanye & Jay-z bragging about their wealth.

when was the last time you bumped magna carta

how was that last kanye album

Magna Carta sold like 1.2-1.3 millon (or 2.2-2.3 depending on your accounting ).

And

So I'm pretty sure that they are doing alright, without considering the sold out tours they keep on stacking up like nothing .




Obviously not as good as they once did but Kanye at least is not even focused on those type of things, he's focused on changing music, being called a god by tastemakers, being the #1 hipster in the world and on. And Jay, well, I don't know what the fukk he's focused on but he's selling more than anyone not named Drake, 20 years later.
