Genuinely it’s like talking to a brick wall

Who are these artists though? I see a lot of artists making bank from streaming, not many making bank from pures like that

Backtracking is all he does
Very funny to see him try to debate something music and industry related

What is it that you consider “bank”

I never backtracked once in this whole discussion

I literally have tripled down on the same statement

100s of thousnds a year, personally iv seen way more artists flexing streaming money, than pure money

Please name me 10 underground artists making “100s of thousands a year” purely from streaming

$100k is 30m streams man, you really want me to name 10 artists that've done 30m streams this year?

What’s this?

That’s off entire catalogs, I’m talking one album

Its funny cus i guess now kenny stans going to realize that we werent coping all this time and that sales climate is infact different

Ive posted the billlboard stats charts in here before, but idk why peoplle expect these rappers to be doing 500-600k+ like they once did when hiphop listeners are down 30-40% since 2021

The neutral fan has moved on from hiphop, and the streaming gains for pop and country show this.

Dont expect a rapper to ever do 500k off streaming ALONE, that time is gone.

Take it for what it is, a complete surprise drop with 12 songs, and also semi-polarizing so not everyone was loving it, did 300k

Thats still big numbers in CURRENT SALES CLIMATE.

Anyone genuinely expecting this to do 500K+ off streaming alone was delusional. No current rapper is hitting that in 2024/2025 without pure sales

People who knew the real decline in hiphop sales ya, but a lot of delusional fans clowned drake for not selling 500k off streaming alone, and will also clown kendrick for not doing it too

Just look at the ban/bet thread for gnx first week sales, the first poster wants a month long ban if not above 500k

I put my prediction in 327k, prob will be really close to that

they hold drake to different standards and hold kendrick to no standards

not mangotfu defending how streaming services blatantly exploit artists

Yeah, I predicted between 300 and 400 without physicals, and only getting near 500 is physicals were involved

Knew it. This wasn’t doing anywhere near $400k

This true?

I guess that other prediction is wrong than

I’m not believing anything yet

ain’t no way this is real

Not believing anything but the official HDD projection. I’m still standing firm on between 300K and 400K.

That first day might hurt a little bit though
