close race

$$$4U Deluxe soon

3rd week Drake losing to 15th week Kendrick 💔

Great hold by drake

Ggs

Well damn

This might cause aubreys attorney account to dissappear again me thinks

GNX did more pure sales in Week 15 than $$$4U did in Week 3

Insane

660 pure sales units

You’re doing yourself a disservice if you’re not acknowledging that GNX is already a classic btw

What doesna classic album mean to you?

It can mean a variety of things.

But when an album receives as much critical acclaim, commercial success, and longterm performance as GNX has, how could an album like that not be a classic?

Huge impact within rap: everyone was talking about it at the time, became the album and the conversation for everyone

Sales: sold really well, continues to

Music: good

Context: it solidified the entire year of the beef, pop out and superbowl into one album. Those events will all be talked about forever, the album will too

Hits: squabble up, tv off and now luthor

@thegreatdivine

This way too close to count officially lol. Before everyone speaks.. wait on them billboard numbers. Drake was off on HDD by a few thousand last week.

A classic based on what exactly?

Drake keeps beating expectations

Things going for it:

Numbers: ✅
Hit songs (2 number 1 singles. Would be 3 if not Christmas charts) : ✅
Accolades: ✅
Cultural zeitgeist: ✅

Things going against it:

TGD Acceptance: ❌

"Drake would sell 1 million first week with physicals"

Hype for gnx but it’s so close, wouldn’t be shocked if Drake gets it. Regardless gnx really did what it needed to do as a follow up for the beef…he could have easily fumbled it.

The fact that it’s classic

Based on the fact that it's better than every Drake project since 2016

The album is front to back amazing, the only song the audience doesn’t love is GNX and even then it’s cool because of how it gives a spotlight for smaller artists so it’s a pass. The people wanted a West coast Kendrick album and got it. It’s a classic.

if drake ends up at number 1 we can just take a page out of yall’s handbook and cry bots

GNX a classic?

You lot do realize that good/very good albums do not have to be called classics, right? I hate how people ruined the word in music discussion

Only “criteria” that it misses for being a classic is that it’s still new. But its like saying Mahomes isn’t a hall of famer because he hasn’t played long enough.
