How many artists are dropping twice in a year and doing over 350K both times back in 2015? Drake being a huge artist doesn't take away from it's significance.

To Pump a Butterfly didn't even reach that mark and that was probably the most anticipated record of the year.

commercial mixtapes and album basically the same thing.

Measly 100 thou region 🤮

This new generation ain’t got it like that

Like I said, the BAR is 223K. That's what Drake did off a surprise tape of leak and demos. Let's see how many niggas surpass that with their ALBUMS this year and then we'll revisit this new era argument.

my turn best selling rap album of this decade so far 👀

Dude thinks it's the same thing because Drake is a huge artist lmao.

My point went over your head like I'm spitting Lupe Fiasco bars

Why would a mixtape with 5 tracking days do NWTS numbers? NWTS had promo, SFTB and HOWGH as singles before the drop.

No. Your points are stupid because WATTBA had a lot working against it and it still surpassed expectations.

I don't know how many rappers back then could do a surprise drop and pull those numbers with mixtapes and not only do it once but twice.

You have a stupid standard for Drake, so much so that you think excuses are being made for him when context is being offered.

The hype for this wasnt as palpable enough for me to think people would give a s*** about this tape but then again i deleted twitter last week so ill take my L

I dont expect a collab project to do the same as solo release you missed the point

ya'll only discuss s*** based on extremes.. these are respectable numbers.. it's 'cool'. Don't gas it to make it crazy or some big Win or a 'flop'

21 did 131,000 in 2018 and a collab w/Metro that sold 173,000 in 2020

Baby had the best selling US album in 2020 opening with 197,000 album units, in comparison to an artist like 21 it's not a stretch that people were atleast expecting them to past the 200k mark. Still pretty good numbers all things considered..

Drake and Kendrick will pass that in a month

Dude is a dummy.

Drake is a huge artist so if he drops with 1 day left in the tracking week, he SHOULD pull 500K BECAUSE it's Drake. Trying to offer context to that is an "excuse"

Drake yes, kendrick idk

WATBBA future biggest first week

they're being disingenuous.

"and it still surpassed expectations."

Your expectations to make excuses? Sure. WATTBA didnt have much to work against. Collab albums dont sell as much as people think because people dont understand the variables that impact collab albums.

This is irrelevant. I could say the same about baby and durk and you will still come with your silly "oh well it's not 200k" argument.

I dont have a standard for drake at all. He's a big artist. I didnt expect wattba do more nor do I care. Anyone with a brain knew he was the hottest rapper in rap for the past 5 years while Future was the hottest artist in 2015. The sales changed nothing. You missed the point yet again.

They're not bad numbers but they're also underwhelming.

when we lose the ability to lock our threads?

You cant lock after 2 or 3 pages. Sorry bruh but this nigga is cancer to hip-hop when it comes to defending drake.

Durk is from the trenches this is blessing regardless, he was doing 30k 2 years ago

Baby from 2014 up until 3 years ago was in prison when WATTBA dropped

Interesting. So she owns it and what do they get? Wonder the splits.
