Well sure, but it’s also been a relatively quiet year for mainstream hip-hop album releases outside of a handful

In 2017, 4:44 did 262K first week

No, he just had to add extra dates to his Australian tour due to overwhelming demand.

Didn’t sprint buy a bunch of albums

Those weren’t counted in the first week total

Mfers w pusha avi’s talkin bout ‘i stopped listening to him’

It’s been 7 years, whose to say he’d do those type of numbers in this current music climate

deadass

No. He’ll sell shows and music and merch. His music won’t be the same but his career will never end. He’s Drake bruh

He’s a big enough artist and drops infrequently enough to where I think 200K+ is guaranteed for any time he decides to drop an album

You're thinking of MCHG lol

Eminem does numbers higher than that and he most definitely fits the “legacy act” category does he not

It’s really not. Any artist who reaches the heights of Drake, Eminem, Jay, etc. would be able to do numbers in those range forever

Women run music. Drake is not over

Drake has reached Em/Ye level in music. People will always listen in large numbers when promoted right

No but I'm very curious bout what the rollout for his next album looks like

Literally this.

Em still sells more than 95% of the field and I never see a single Drake fan include him in Big 3 convos.

Not over, but I'm just not enthusiastic about his new music, and that was before s*** popped off this year.

Should be interesting how he moves from here on out post-litigation

No. He’ll pivot to acting again…. Watch

We know why Eminem does big numbers all the time

What’s understood don’t gotta be explained

He's done for

Wtf lol??

Would be dope actually lol

Legacy acts ain’t selling 200-300k first week in hiphop outside of Em lol
Kanye a legacy act and he didn’t touch them numbers

Idk why he hasn’t already
