getting out? :dwillhuh:

and these are supposed to be private conversations, no?
You're in jail none of your conversations are private. If you want privacy then don't put yourself in a position to be in prison lol

One thing this shows though, thug was never that guy. We used to joke about how his shyt kept flopping and he'd call them mixtapes instead of albums. Then his shyt just started doing well out of nowhere. All that shyt was fugazi.
Besides Lifestyle, his only major hits have features.

He was never him.

Not surprised. There was one Diamond single during the Physical Era where artist sold way more records than now. That was Elton John "Candle in the Wind". It was a tribute to Princess Diana's Death and that Joint was #1 for months. Fast Forward to the streaming era and there's been tons of "Diamond" singles. That was a major red flag to me that the numbers weren't right.

how could you even do this in jail? like who do you pay?
Do what? He talking to his manager or w/e, so the manager probably knows the ppl/company with the bots. On top of that, I dont think Thug was in jail at the time he did this for Gunna.

I dont really care about the rest of the BS and all the streaming but Young Thug openly talking about his label buying streams to pass the weekend for 50k buying fake streams should make you realize how fake a lot of these numbers are. Streaming era is so funny, bundles and bs streams


to hear someone openly talk about it is just what I was talking about here a few months ago in the industry how common this is....:gucci:



nasty place, at least with physicals you couldnt lie quite as much




They’re all buying streams. It is what it is. It’s corporate America. Everyone’s always finessing the system and manipulating the numbers.

How is that different than Def Jam manipulating shipping numbers lol. Also I'm not even sure I believe Thug. Doesn't seem outlandish that he's dumb enough to pay for some shyt that doesn't even work.
