    Implying that KanYe needs those things when controversy has always benefited him just as much if not more lol.

    Pretty sure Donda went #1 too. Not a huge feat.

    There's controversy

    And then there's saying you love the man who was the mastermind behind one of the largest genocides in human history, which is still pretty recent history relatively speaking

  • roselei

    How are there still people in here tryna act like Ye didn’t have an uphill battle with this album?

    The man said he loves Hitler and lost out on so many industry connects because of it (rightfully so!)

    The fact that he was still able to go #1 purely off streaming AND land a #3 hit without the support of the streaming services + label is a huge feat no matter how anyone tries to flip it

    Don't waste your time, they're completely rétarded

    That’s the most controversial thing he’s ever done. Of course he’s going to go number one after that

    He would've gone #1 no matter what. Him being a nazi damaged his career this time completely. Y'all can't compare this to his other stuff at all lol

    Because Ye fans are acitng like it's some achievement for Kanye, when it's not, he's f***ing Kanye, you guys are acting like he's some Chris Brown tier artist and it is insane. He's been up there with artists like Adele/Ariana/Bieber on streaming numbers even after his comments

    this victim complex Kanye fans have is incredible, acting like some underdogs when your fav is in the top 10 most streamed artists every year

    Love how y'all keep trying to paint Kanye as some low-level artist who can't manage a #1 album without the backing of a major label lmao.

    I don't understand how anyone with common sense doesn't see this. Kanye been massively popular for 20 years now. He has a rabid fanbase that'll ride for him when it comes to music regardless of what he does/says.

    It's tons of people still out here listening to R. Kelly's music after all the crazy s*** he's done and gotten CONVICTED for but niggas acting like people still supporting a new Kanye album after his controversial/ignorant comments is some huge deal.

    Was kinda interested in seeing what kind of philosophical non-answer you was gonna give as to whether or not controversy helps Ye @edumist

  • Feb 19, 2024

    This is Kanye’s lowest selling album. Obviously the controversy hurt him but I would not call it a flop.

    Kanye is 20 years deep into his career, he absolutely should NOT be dropping #1 albums independently this far in

    Do y’all even hear yourselves?

    And R. Kelly’s last album in 2015 went triple cardboard, you’re proving our point.

    Kanye absolutely should NOT still be this successful. It’s a tremendous feat that he is
