Only hip hop album i remember with staying power are Lil Baby's My Turn.

are hip hop sales low or just sales in general in low? hows hip hop comparing to other genres

When you take into account quality, following, and peripheral controversy, all the people in OP sold right about where you would expect.

CLB

Pop and country artists are doing just fine. Even international acts like Bad Bunny eating good this year compared to a lot of rappers now.

Tory Lanez
Freddie Gibbs
Kid Cudi
YG

Aside from Cudi do they sell crazy numbers

@op know what he doing lol

Freddie Gibbs the bench mark for how Hip-Hop is doing commercially

well yes but also you named a bunch of d listers

Kendrick sold 500k on an album that family ties has outlasted

None of them niggas were ever really doing huge numbers.

And with regards to Cudder, barely anybody knew that he dropped a new album

Maybe pick some relevant artists

Major acts like Fewtch and Kenney sold really well

Tory Lanez has dropped 17 projects in the last year what you expect

gunna and future won this year in terms of sales

Also artist like Durk who had more hype than ever before sold well too

Oh my god what happened to hip hop

he did 289k first week

I feel like commercially rap peaked a while ago and major labels can't get the numbers they used to

Das crazy

everything was fine till the summer started tbh

the only heavy hitters in rap to drop have been drake and kendrick, and drake’s was barely even rap

megan’s she hulk cameo got more press than her music
dj khaled instantly vaporized away after the first week
rod wave doing okay i guess
youngboy sales slowly declining

Rap has always sold this much

Bundles padded their numbers

Nothing else has changed
