what Lil Baby has achieved in two years..

[hex]

man i don't give a fukk about none of that streaming shyt. (having to read some of the tedious shyt posted on here surrounding whichever Drake album the streaming numbers discussions started with ensured i could never care about it.) i just saw the tweet checked his IG to see if it was true (its been deleted now), thought good for him and it was just a quick an easy thread to give the boy his recognition for the good work he's put in in a small space of time. especially since he's been quiet.

i'm cool with these kids bragging about these wild streaming numbers because they'll never know what its like to shift proper units.

i'm sure you seen the desperation Khaled went through over that album shyt all for what ? 150K first week and to brag he had the Number 1 album so he could do a whole other round of promo saying he had the number 1 album. it's a joke.

while you wait for Gibbs though, be sure to check out his new single on Friday.

None of that was directed at you. I don't really blame thread starters (unless they're obviously on some stan shyt)....threads are created to spark discussion.

I'm more talking about the direction the thread took immediately after your post.

Fred.

Not really understanding the logic here.

Spotify counts 30 seconds as a full stream. You could think a song is terrible by listening to 30 seconds and still contribute to an artist's over all numbers. The same cannot be said for any point in history, prior to now.

Think about all the songs you heard on the radio back in the day....switched the station because it was wack....now imagine every time that happened it counted towards an artist going gold/plat. shyt is straight lunacy breh.

I’m not a streamer of music and you can’t view charts and sales the same way we did prior to the ringtone era, but Mel also said those hits weren’t moving the needle, but they are. Now yes you’re gonna find songs now that went platinum that you likely have never heard of and you wonder how, but Lil Baby got some legitimate ass hits. I don’t think he got there accidentally or because of some bot.

Think of all the songs that you see with these certifications via streaming and think that perhaps you’re one of the only people you know that don’t fukk with that song. That’s where guys like Lil Baby, Gunna, A Boogie, etc, shine. I can believe a song like Drip Too Hard or Yes Indeed have these high certifications. They were top 10 hits in the country and everyone plays that shyt repeatedly.

Where, because I don't see it anywhere.

The only thing I see in relation to his streams/certification is this:



4 billion streams world wide which is completely meaningless since there isn't an organization that counts world wide numbers. This is like when Young Thug got a "plaque" for 2 billion world wide streams or whatever it was, then did 35k first week.

Fred.

think he deleted it, it was the instagram post in the original post which is now blank (usually means deleted)

 

[itsyoung!!]

Streaming a song once doesn’t = 1 sale though. How many times do you stream a song before you realize you don’t like it?

If he’s doing 5x plat off a song, then that means it had to have been played millions upon millions of times.

No one said it = 1 sale.. but it still counts towards the numbers..when before it didnt at all.. you are a better poster than this.. stop posting stupid shyt, you know this is dumb

Do you think Drip Too Hard is as big as Gangstas Paradise let me know so I can know I been reading a lunatics posts the last 10 years

 

[Mindfield333]

But gunna is the better artist!

gunna has to change up his melodies Because he was a little redundant on the most recent album. And the beats were too similar and too chill

 

[CrimsonTider]

hearing a song on the radio in the 90s didnt contribute/count as a sale/stream, not even comparable

Now leaving Pandora or Spotify on a playlist shuffle counts towards sales now, rather you like the song or not you contributed to their sale count in some way

there was a time when shooting from 26 feet didn’t give you an extra point

I wouldnt expect a dumber comparison from you I guess

 

[CrimsonTider]

Exactly, keep comparing shyt to the past as reasons why current means shouldn’t be accepted

 

[Evil Grandson]

I only heard that Suge shyt and it was garbage


Video looked like the corny shyt yal clown Eminem for too

My nikka that's dababy not lil baby


Lil Baby actually speaks real shyt. Yes he makes turnup songs but he has content. This is an example

 

[Yaboysix]

Well If he selling records like that then they better be treating that man like ed Sheeran and Taylor swift.they better keep that same energy.

What

 

[lightbearerchef]

I ain't gone lie, lil baby got like 2 songs that's coo, close friends, throwing shade. That's it dawg

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

All them streams and sells be manipulated as fukk. Reminds me of youtube views. nikkas be having 3 milllion views but nobody heard of you.

 

[NYtymes]

Certifications dont mean shyt in the streaming era, its not like he actually sold all those records but salute to the young boy

 

[reserved_one]

Honestly, I just find Baby's rapping style to be boring.


Please don't post no songs trying to state otherwise but hey it's great he's doing well
