Those numbers are CRAZY

My dude made it

What exactly are the rules of hip hop

My dude made it

One, dudes didn't care about numbers. They cared about how good the album was, because the only thing affecting you is the music.

Dont you ever celebrate when your favorite team wins a championship then.

Why are you dudes so obsessed with bringing negativity to anyone who likes drake

It's like ya'll want everyone to hate him too

 

[balanceboyzent]

Speaking objectively and as a fan of good music, celebrating the sells from Views doesn't make much sense. Pretty sure the consensus is that this is Drake (& Friend's) worst album. With this album doing these kind of numbers (questionable due to the inclusion of hotline bling), Drake probably won't see a reason to try to make better music so in the long run he'll just keep putting out subpar music.

 

[Deleted member 107398]

Whether the album is good or not is subjective person to person, theres really no sure meter to determine that

A wise man named Jay Z once said, men lie, women lie, numbers dont

Idk why it matters to ya'll if fans are showing their favorite artists love

Ya'll ruined this thread

 

[Peep Game]

Jay said that in 2009. In 2016, numbers very well do lie

Cmon man....dudes been caring about numbers in hip hop since the late 90s....this ain't nothing new.

There's nothing wrong with acknowledging your favorite artist success if you feel like it's well deserved.

If Nas goes plat on his next album...expect to see some from me and other ppl.

I know he said it then in 2009

He was still talking about it in 2013

Dudes talk more about the numbers than the actual quality of the album.

When the album dropped dudes was hoping he'll drop something else cuz this was disappointment.


Now it's "but he's selling '


He knows he can make lazy music and it's gonna sell off his name alone.

 

[Peep Game]

Based on the methods of MCHG's release, it very well was a lie . It wasn't all that different from U2's album showing up on people's itunes accounts

 

[Proposition Joe]

Hov still sold over 400 thousand copies the first week without Samsung.

Who were these late 90's artist mentioning numbers?

You know how much Mase was selling? You knew album sales from The Source's year end issue and you would go cool. Nobody cared about their artist selling before 50.

and I've been listening to rap long before the late 90's

Hov still sold over 400 thousand copies the first week without Samsung.

Was actually around 530K...yet was platinum on the first day of it's release...yet was given away for free to anyone who had the app. That's why I don't believe in the participation ribbon style of sales today, cause there's no 100% way to tell. Just using Jay as an example anyway, cause he obviously doesn't need help selling record, yet still gets it.

 

[krazyrodzilla]

Seriously this is out of control, CLOWNS gone learn the hard way!

 

[DIÑERO]

Ugh his voice just makes me cringe

 

[jr paperstacks]

I like Views a lot. And I think it's weird that people who don't like it act like nobody *really* likes it.

But coming in here talking about how much I like the album over and over again is kinda stupid. You listen to it, like it and it's part of your life now. People are more likely to be very vocal when they *don't* like something. What I'm about to sit here and go back and forth about some **** I'm enjoying for?

 

[Peep Game]

LOL this guy Drake....so corny

Corny
Drake needs to get in the studio and drop a diss track instead of following in Meek's footsteps
