We were discussing Hip-Hop sales in a Hip-Hop sales thread.

Yes, because every single hip-hop artist receives the exact same level of discourse in this thread. It’s definitely not like 97% of the discussions revolve around Drake. That’s definitely not a thing that happens in this thread

Wasn’t you just crying how smaller artists need better treatment and representation?

We tried to discuss a smaller artist and you got angry and made conspiracies

Because y’all weren’t discussing him genuinely. The FIRST point you made related to The Weeknd, solely because he doesn’t like Drake

And the only points you’ve made related to Elkian are used for complaining about Drake?

But since you want smaller names to have better representation we can talk about NAV and we don’t need to bring Weeknd up.

How much you think NAV selling this week?

I do not care for him doing those streams and wish he wouldn’t associate with those ppl

But you can get on any star for people they associate with so i don’t put that much weight into it

Someone following Drake makes them MAGA, but posting on a website called kanye​tothe in 2025 doesn’t make you?

“Someone following Drake” these words were never uttered nor implied

And you still on a website originally meant for Kanye fanatics posting amongst hundreds of them still here lol. No idea why you keep trying to play the “you like this rapper associated with problematic things so you’re also a bad person” shtick while willingly on a Kanye West forum everyday in 2025.

You’re obviously aware someone can find someone’s music to be enjoyable and not f*** with certain ideologies or whoever the artist associates themselves with

y’all b havin me deadd in here 😭😭😭

My fav on C5 🔥

Tuesday evening.

This is the real reason why they're in here acting like they give a f*** about Elkan not being given a feature credit (dude isn't even an artist. He's a producer and these are all things that get ironed out before an album is released. He's credited as a co-writer/sole producer and is credited with providing additional vocals on Nokia).

Every single time Elkan or his manager have posted about Nokia post-$$$4U's release, it's been to praise and thank Drake but a random, faceless nobody on KTT2 would have you believe that Drake is a thief for his actions or that he f***ed someone over.

Mind you, Elkan's manager already confirmed that Drake co-wrote the second part of Elkan's hook with him and that the idea to structure the song the way it is now and to keep Elkan's original vocals and have him record more vocals on the track were all Drake's idea. And why are people acting like Drake himself didn't write and perform two entire verses on that song as well as add in a response to Elkan's second hook (which was itself co-written by Drake)?

The reality is that Nokia, the way it is now, wouldn't be what it is without Drake's numerous contributions. Anyone mad about that is a miserable sack of s***. Imagine being this down bad because Drake has a massive solo hit in 2025?

so 99% of rap hits then, i'm not sure why you're constantly hating on your own culture

It was a loosie that isn't even on a Drake project, no music video, no promo and somehow has 400m streams just on Spotify

That is a hit.

In fact if you make a list of the most streamed loosies of the decade so far, I bet that'll be top 3 across ALL genres. Solely based on that, it's a hit. It's not a smash hit, but it's a hit

If any other artist had a loosie with 400m streams in 2 years everyone would be talking bout how impressive it is. But Fader loves being a weirdo hater on Drake

Kendrick - Not Like Us
Bad Bunny - Yonaguni
Travis Scott - Highest In The Room

All loosies with over a billion streams. It’s not even close to being top 3 tbh.

Wait Highest In The Room is 2019. We’re getting old.

The Scotts(2020) has 800 mil.

If you looked you could probably find even more than that

Theater once again hiding his xo stannism as drake critique

Amazing cope

nokia is def a hit wtf

Grande Donnaiolo Carti

Nah, Bugatti Biebs deserves more credit for this Obviously he had hits like Baby, Love Yourself etc but outdoing Mariah Carey with only 6 solo albums is insane
