TheFaderWhen did this generation of rap fans become so sales obsessed?
I know people like Jay and 50 started using album sales as a bragging tactic, but I feel during the 2010s, first week sales were not a major topic of conversation within the rap community.
I was in discussions and threads about albums like Views, DAMN., 2014 4YEO, Rodeo, DS2, etc. and I never remember sales being as much of a talking point as they are right now within rap fandom
50 started it
he used to go on radio stations and read out the soundscan numbers and trash ppl sales left and right when he was on top

ElementalNokia is gonna keep rising. U know that tho Mr. “Objective”
Yeah it has a lot of room to rise.
The same song years ago would go straight to number 1 though. I know Drake fans who would be disappointed if this song landed at top 5 and not 1 but expectations have changed.- Feb 25, 2025·1 replyLeftside

Draxx556I will be honest here my boy Drake has a hand in that
Was the Drake & Pusha beef when the tides truly turned?
That beef was directly about Hip-Hop As Art (Pusha) vs. Hip-Hop As Commerce (Drake)
I feel like after he lost that beef, his fans really only had his sales to cling onto and then started using that as the main talking point in any narrative about him

50 started it
he used to go on radio stations and read out the soundscan numbers and trash ppl sales left and right when he was on topRight, he definitely started it.
But I feel like it went away for a while as a main talking point, because during the 2010s I seriously don’t remember sales talk being as loud as it is right now within rap music

If they can’t tell, then how is Elemental going around saying Sab confirmed that I was him?
