Ill be damned when some friend of mine I thought wasnt interested in all that suddenly started talking chart perfomance.
It's too late... Music sxn infected their brain
Radio payola was probably more of a thing back then. The label could just pay a station to get their song up.
theory: That money went from Payola to fake fan accounts/bots to encourage fan engagement to make them stream more stuff
I’m interested in chart performance because it helps me understand trends and patterns in the industry
Vanilla Ice would have had diehard STANS on KTT swearing he's the greatest and cussing out ppl if it were the early 90's.
Imagine Will Smith stans
Nah. Vanilla Ice would get the Macklemore treatment.
Coolio would be a better example tbh. A lot of people don't even know that Coolio outsold Tupac in 1995.
I could see niggas bigging up Coolio over Tupac and Biggie because of how huge of a song Gangsta's Paradise is.
A lot of users were rooting for Macklemore. I had arguments with a user who said he deserved the Grammy over Kendrick.
Lame tweet lol tf does this even mean
Twitter has now reached my country too for the longest time it was exclusive for radicals. Thats why I hate your country
They also invented a fake rivalry between YG and Kendrick/Schoolboy
And then when YG ended up having both featured on his album + cited GKMC as an influence + Schoolboy outsold and they acted like it never happened.
Now they invented a fake rivalry between Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo, and swear Billie's career is over.
Then when Billie has another massive hit, they'll act like it's a shocking career renaissance even though it's only been like 2 years
real talk bragging about ur fav artist sales is just saying "lol my artists label spends more on promoting his s***"
Lame tweet lol tf does this even mean
my man can't understand english, im sick
Labels are really using social media to fabricate validation for music listeners. S*** is crazy
You only win by not playing imo

Nothing wrong with that
stupid tweet
music is f***ing amazing, a music forum of all places should be able to get that. and people will pay for amazing s***. and anywhere people are paying money, an industry will form. its not about ego its about music, dont act like that tweet is deep
for the same reason theyre fixated on what they can play around friends / in parties and s***
hip hop is now about the image of it rather than actually consuming the music
you thought you had one with this
A lot of users were rooting for Macklemore. I had arguments with a user who said he deserved the Grammy over Kendrick.
Nah. Macklemore was one of the most disliked/polarizing rappers on KTT for a while and the users who caped for him were clowned.
Don't see how else you could measure a successful artist without any form of number tracking
my man can't understand english, im sick
It feels like the person tweeting is using Twitter to self aggranderize their own ego, existence and sense of superiority over others
A lot of users were rooting for Macklemore. I had arguments with a user who said he deserved the Grammy over Kendrick.
Cacklemore
Remember when KTT swore Future was over and Desiigner was here to replace him, or 6ix9ine was becoming the biggest artist in the world
The KTT2 Future Was, 2016 (colorized)
