50 cent reading nielson soundscan numbers on Hot97 to taunt his enemies. its the same play

Rappers bragging about success...in other news, water is still wet.

you must be 50 years old man wtf

Jay-Z never bragged about numbers before 50 Cent...

Edit - Neither did Kanye...

then dont complain when its used against u

Who is complaining ?

name checks out brother cuz i got no clue what you going on about

then original person i quoted before u minions jumped in

My singular issue with what you said is the idea Drake's entire brand or persona is the numbers/charts when he has said and done so much to support the opposite post Views.

numbers wise im outta here u not f***ing creeping up

This person thinks 50 cent invented us caring about FW numbers which crippled the art of Hip Hop.
The simple reality is if the numbers dictate what you like that is a you problem.
Jay-Z is the first visible rapper to brag about numbers to my knowledge.

Yes Drake is at 101B+ Streams.
He also has a 400-500M partnership deal with UMG.
Larry Jackson just confirmed his back catalogue (anything older than 18 months on streaming) streams more than the 60s-80s

Obviously that is his entire sound, art and music.
Everything he ever did is some form of hyper pop hip hop which is crazy after Scary Hours 3 happened and he did another beef for the umpteenth time.

Edit - the above is sarcasm unsure if you can tell.

Imagine boiling a 20 year career down to a handful of lines and treating it like a serious argument. Brother this is insane.

Healing heeealing

jay-z been outsold every era of hip hop. 50 cent was actually outselling ppl

Agreed

Who can forget all the classic Drake tracks where he reads his spotify streaming data track by track, breaking it out into daily, weekly, monthly and lifetime streams. He's really been humbled by this beef!

ahhhh f*** me, I just made the whole connection

Doesn't change the fact Jay is the first visible moment I'm aware of where that happened.

This thread when Yapper comments

it was more effective when jay bragged about money cuz he actually was richer than his peers.

now imagine if he went broke somehow

thats the equivalent of what im talking about

Fair impact of brag is different. Agreed.

I legit have followed Drake since comeback season the numbers really isn't his thing. He uses it as a thing to point to 100%. Who wouldn't, its a qualifier. Drake has done mad s*** for Artists, Producers, Hip Hop & Music (as a whole).
