Bmezyshout out to 21 for casually pulling these types of numbers on an off year with no hits.
And people are surprised people aren't underwhelmed that a collab album that was hyped and is by the two hottest rappers of the first year isn't doing more.
Savage Mode 2 also had 15 tracks. This has 3 more tracks.

Jun 5, 2021·1 replyCLB Fractions"and the certification is removed"
"WTT didnt go double plat until after streams". That was the initial comment.
You then replied "wtt went 5x plat"
I said Yes, AFTER STREAMS
The website had an error or the certification isn't correct.

Niggas love downplaying other artists sales until their own artist has a similar issue and they make excuses. This is drake's stan fanbase at the core. Niggas dont ever wanna admit other rappers are hot
Jun 5, 2021·1 replyBmezyIt's on par with 21's Savage Mode II w/metro boomin, which pulled 173,000 ..it's respectable, not sure about a 'big w' though.
21 is a huge artist, being on par w him is a W imo

You are making excuses. People want drake projects. Drake dropping a surprise project during the height of his career doesnt change this. Just because drake told us about an album doesn't mean we didnt want other albums. Are you really going with this argument
It is a dropoff. Drake did 700k with NWTS. You even said it would have done more if it had a week and it still wouldn't have done 700k according to what you said. That is a DROPOFF. Nobody wanted durk and baby either so according to your logic, people are waiting and anticipating No Auto Durk and Baby's 3rd album. This is a joint project they just told us they were doing. Stop it.
You clearly missed the argument with 2 albums by bringing up JT.
You don't even understand my point. You're talking about a whole other thing.

cap..
'Not All Heroes Wear Capes' a compilation project by Metro pulled 100k. I know your standards are high than that for a Baby project in 2021

it is 5x platinum i just showed you 💀💀
but yes it did 1.5 million in pure sales. but even without streams it would still be 2x platinum once you add single sales.

When have we ever made excuses for Drake?
DLDT did 223K first week with no prior announcement and it was a tape of demos/leaks. Let's see how many rappers this year beat that mark with their albums before you start bringing up Drake's name alongside these niggas.

Im not doing this with you anymore. The point is the album was recertified after streams counted. Before streams, the album was only platinum. The certification was taken off on the page for some odd reason but this is honestly irrelevant. I literally just said the album sold more after streams and you got defensive.

Thats actually kinda crazy
A solo Baby album could do 300k+ if a collab w durk can do all that

You don't even understand my point. You're talking about a whole other thing.
Your point is excuses. I responded to everything you said. You just dont wanna admit WATTBA didnt do as well as it should have by your own argument because then you'd realize your point makes no sense. You make up random variables to justify your own perspective and can't defend them.

You just made an excuse for drake with WATTBA.
Oh wow a big artist doing big numbers after being a 10 year vet. I really didn't see this coming. Look at you bringing up random s*** again

21 is a huge artist, being on par w him is a W imo
21 Savage last solo project only did 131,000 and that was when sales were weighted easier with bundling etc.. Lil Baby's My turn did 197,000 .. Baby is considerable a much bigger artist. isn't a huge artist compared to Baby who has peaked higher than him also named the highest selling US album of 2020. Especially righ now in his commercial prime, with the most buzz of the year. being on par w an artist that you've historically performed better than on his off-year isn't a W in any capacity. What are you talking bout, durkio?
Jun 5, 2021red eagleThats actually kinda crazy

Nah, he's not there yet
