    Obviously bots

    We called the sales fake because they obviously were. You turned it into a conspiracy theory on us going after Kendrick allies lol.

    And yeah, nobody also gaf about NAV, his website, or his music yet you were able to give his high sales a benefit of doubt.

    You was defending a D-list rapper doing 70k pure, but can suddenly understand how fraud works when an A-list rapper is doing 40k pure

    Remember when you was bringing up Reddit threads of people discussing NAV and claiming how his fans are real even if we don’t see them in our bubble?

    I only defended it because Nav’s 2020 album did a high number of pure sales that wasn’t called fake by Billboard

    He had precedent of doing a high number of pure sales

    They put the bots call in?

    says it was due to a "late digital push", so i assume 40,000 loyal 21 savage fans who are avid music buyers swooped in to give him his best pure sales week ever.

    Seems very plausible. 21 lowkey got a loyal fanbase, like some J Cole type s***

    The album literally doubled its projections because more than halfway through the week 40k people decided to randomly all buy digital copies?

    Like bro

    What's so hard to believe about that? Maybe it just took a while for the album to connect with people

    carti, YB, and gunna have way more loyal and intense fanbases and they're not seeing anything close to 39k pure, so i simply don't believe it from 21. especially not with a negatively received album that had his worst streaming week since his debut.

    Album just took a while to grow on people, it's 21's most experimental sound so far

    Not everything is some conspiracy or artist trying to cheat the system. Sometimes the music is just good and people are catching on

    When did 21 become this site's Tyler the Creator? Seeing so much unnecessary hate lately

    The album did not grow on anyone, it was dropping streams all week, then magically out of nowhere 40K digital purchases are reported before the tracking week ended. It was bots

    Literally impossible. He only had a total of 8,400 limited edition CDs for sale, and they are still available to purchase. The standard CD and vinyl do not ship until March.
