Pretty funny how people claim to be in the know about charts and what's hot, yet can only manage to come up with smilies as the reason why. There's no tangible evidence of a lot of this music people claim to be hot, actually being hot. It's similar to people using extreme analytics to prove a team has a great defense, when you can just use the eye test and see that team goes 3-13 that same year. Do any of y'all actually go to parties/clubs? Y'all actually flip on the radio every in awhile? See advertisements on TV? Or do y'all just look at YouTube and SoundCloud views, both which clearly had been getting manipulated for years? Based on yalls logic, Hopsin and Earl Sweatshirt are some of the hottest selling/unit moving dudes out.



:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:
I gave you tangible evidence by mentioning the song went Gold with little radio play for the last time...

If you talking eye test I already spoke on my experience at parties/clubs this is one of those songs that was always played. It's almost shocking to hear nikkas claim they never heard it because all that shows is you probably don't go out or hit venues for older crowds.


Hopsin and Earl Sweatshirt have songs with 90M SoundCloud plays? :usure:

Now, Party buys those plays who can win with you nikkas... :bryan:

You are using charts for validation and again just exposing yourself as :flabbynsick: and out of touch

Migos "Versace" peaked at 99 after a Drake remix, literally one of the biggest songs of 2013...


Chief Keef "Faneto" is nowhere to be found on charts yet had 2015 lit...


Meek Mill "Dreams & Nightmares" nowhere to be found on the charts, still went Gold, you not at a party if this shyt don't drop even to this day...

Many more examples can be given a lot of songs really hitting the culture aren't on the charts. There's shyt that charts that depending where you are in the country the shyt gets no play for example Kent Jones or Kevin Gates in NY.

I can spend my day on SoundCloud clicking a random artists shyt as many times as I want. That wouldn't make the song hot. Versace, Faneto, and Dreams & Nightmares, again...those are tangible songs that were legitimately hot. People didn't need an arbitrary streaming number to figure that out.

No matter how many times I say you can't compare OVO to MMG, the Roc, Ruff Ryders, ETC y'all continue to do so.

Those labels were marketed as family and crews.

OVO is run like a major label where you create your own buzz and work your own music.

Compare OVO to dreamville, Dreamchasers, etc

thats not how a major label is run, that is how a distribution company is run.

A major label markets its artists.

For example, Interscope built an entire 'unsigned artist' marketing campaign and basically purchased the BET awards one year for Kendrick.

lets not get it twisted. He did put on The Weeknd. Crew Love was 80% Weeknd and 1 Drake verse; thats how you break your artist.

:sas1:is weekend repping OVO though

:comeon:it'd be like me giving nas props for 50 cent's success cause he took him under his wing 'first' by putting him on his records and taking him on tour,etc...

nah, weekend is where he is,cause he was smart enough not to sign to that flop of a label known as OVO!!
:manny:truth!!

Weeknd is where he is because he is probably the most talented new RnB type dudes in recent history and he's released ridiculous level music and transitioned to pop well.
You are really saying nothing, of course a great deal with support directly by a major is better than a rapper label deal. Do you think Weeknd would be where he is on an equivalent of OVO? (A rapper label).

Drake definitely played a massive role in allowing Weeknd to be this big and shining the light on his work though. Weeknd has said so himself. Weeknd got more benefit from "Crew Love" than Drake did career wise for example.

This is pretty true... considering Drake isn't even on OVO himself. It's still in its infancy and hasn't signed the next 2-3 rap acts it needs to push the movement. It's got the producing and RnB framework but it def needs a couple up and coming rappers no more than 3 to really be a "label" in the modern sense. I think they know it's impossible to push PND Roy Majid DVSN without slowing up the Drake project :manny:

I expect a lot more from them in q4 2016

The weeknd was already buzzing off hob.

Further more crew love was a weeknd solo song that he allowed drake to use and drake just stuck a shytty verse on it.

Drake didn't put 1 verse on it to "break his artist" he did it because he wanted the song for himself to benefit him just like how he took several other weeknd songs for that album.

That's all drake does. Takes other artists songs gives them a pity feature and thats it.

How you REALLY put on an artist is doing what 50 and Ross did.

They gave songs to their artists and let them use them to bloW.


Like hate it or love it with game and 50. 50 gave that song to game to help him blow up.

Drake does the opposite. He let's his artists create the songs so he can use them for himself. That's not.putting an artist on AT ALL.

Weeknd saw through that shyt and bounced.

Ross dropped 3 Maybach compilations. He gave meek Tupac back chorus that jump started Meeks career.

Wale was flopping with lady gaga features. Ross took him from selling 28K and getting dropped to selling gold.

Be proud of being ignorant and out of touch, brehs. I bet you know when Redman or some other old head drops though

Pathetic :mjlol:

How you like that new School Boy Q album?
