that's embarrassing if you ask me. you mean to tell me khalifa has that much followers on twitter but yet can't even go platnium with that album of his? f*ck the singles. :laff: if you ask me, a lot of his followers are NOT fans. in fact, they are just riding the wave, in others are very disloyal. if your singles go platnium, that doesn't mean SQUAT. that's nothing. singles go platnium quick because people will hear your sh!t everywhere and they'll like it. now if your album can't go platnium, then that's bad news for you. wiz has platnium singles off his album but yet his record just went gold. it's supposed to be the OTHER way around. with his popularity, he's supposed to have a PLATNIUM album. he's bad for business.
:ohhh:... It's embarrassing for a musician to move 800k with his debut album in 2012? He's got a lot of followers that follow his twitter, his jokes, his weed smoking, his popularity and what not that's obvious. Dude made $10 million of shows in 1 year between summer 2010 and summer 2011. For all we know he might have a high ratio of fans that downloaded his album and bought a dime sack instead.

When I've been to Nas shows it seems like most of them are college aged people and they are probably the biggest twitter crowd. Wiz might have more younger teenagers, but I doubt that's the thing. His twitter game just isn't really poppin like that. Him having 800k is still quite a lot for not handling his own twitter.

If Nas was funnier, a more interesting life, more ballin or tweeting himself he would probably have 2-3 times more like Fab.
Probably still not like Wiz Khalifa since he's got more of those teenagers as you mention and he's got a bigger name commercially and internationally so he's got people who doesn't even like his music following him just cause he's famous and weedheads following cause he's a famous weed promoter or whatever you wanna call it just like Snoop Dogg ( I think he has like 10 million followers).

:ahh:

It's really that simple

An OG once told me and the other youngins some dope shyt: "Velveeta always gonna be a nikka's first choice. It's cheap, quick, tastes aite. But if you get a whiff of mac and cheese you forget all about Velveeta and all you care about is the real - it's better, and is the product of hard work. We need more mac n cheese nikkas in these streets, b."
:obama:

nikkas fukking with Wiz right now heavy, but in a few years he'll be nobody and Nas will still be Nas.

I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and just say you worded that "dope shyt" wrong. Cause if you aint making Mac n Cheese WITH Velvetta (the brick), then you're doing it wrong. :skip:

Wiz Khalifia is the type of nikka that I wouldn't want my kid listening too. That nikka got some of these youths brainwashed.

Lol, Because it just isn't that serious...

Twitter is for entertainment and a cool promotional tool, but having a bunch a twitter followers really doesn't mean shyt in the long run and I think it hurts "Rappers" more than it helps

If a rapper tweets too much He Corny, If a rapper hardly tweets he Boring...

I mainly follow rappers hoping they say some dumb shyt and to get links to their music.
