But I'm showing you that Thug's projects have lasting power?
He's easily doing 100k+ per project now, that's a huge increase for him, he's obviously only getting more popular.
Also this thread isn't about popularity/sales. I said that in OP
You can't say he dominated the 2010s when there are so many other rappers who were everywhere in that decade
Thug ain't even the biggest or the top 2-3 biggest outta Atlanta from the 10s (to even act like he's been bigger than Future, Migos, or even 2 Chainz/Uzi would be straight delusion)
He was a major artist from the 10s and yeah its cool that B6 sold 500k. Theres still plenty of rappers who did that and sold way more too.

Obviously Drake outsells Kendrick 10 times out of 10
Obviously Uzi, Migos, Carti, and many more outsell Thug, that is not the point of this thread. If you want to talk about most dominant in terms of sales and popularity then let's talk about The Weeknd, Drake, Ariana Grande, and Taylor Swift.
I have said 10 times in this thread already that I'm talking about dominating in terms of releasing the most consistent quality bodies of work

If you mean dominating in terms of quality, then MBDTF, Yeezus and TLOP take a dump on thugs entire discog
and Future's run was alot better than Thugs quality wise.
s***, even jus goin off quality, I was more impressed by what Danny Brown, Vince Staples, Freddie Gibbs been doing than Thug.

Why are you ignoring Ye and Jesus Is King?
Those are Kanye's weakest project hence why I said in OP the point is starting off and ENDING the decade strong, which Kanye did not do at all.
I rather have Drake feats, Views, More Life, Scorpion and DDL than UU, DAMN, BP Soundtrack and Kendrick trash ass features

I mean SMF is weak af too. You say High off Life was weak, but that project is on the same level as that.
Ye honestly is about as good as SMF too. JIK is a mess, but I ain't about to act like Ye did not make by far the best hip hop of the 2010s. MBDTF, Ye and TLOP is literally an all time decade run for music.

then you got s*** taste cuz UU > Drakes entire discog alone lmao
then again ur profile name is that of a washed ass artist too so maybe u rly do just have s*** taste

Fair point, I don't f*** with SMF like that but it is Thug's most popular album to date, so I'm giving it credit for what it tried to be, a popular and fun album for the masses.
I don't think anyone on this forum would say SMF was as meh as High Off Life though, that's pretty wild.

idk I view both HOL and SMF in a similar light. Projects that came and went with a few keepers. Same as Ye.

I love UU bro, I prefer it over everything Drake dropped after Views, but if I have to keep any of either artist’s music post 2015 I’m keeping Drizzy’s fam. Kendrick’s direction post 2016 was very disappointing, he should have remained in his lane.
Btw, UU doesn’t touch NWTS, TC and IYRTITL

only good drake project is IYRTITL tbh and DAMN s***s on that too
only s*** kendrick rly dropped the ball with was the lazy features (which even then he still gave us Yeah Right, Look Over Your Shoulder, Dedication, Power, etc) and the Black Panther project, which I don't really judge him for anyway. Ain't his project.
Don't agree at all with this idea Kendrick dropped the ball post 2016 and p sure most people dont either
no it didn't
you may not like it but it doesn't mean it aged like milk
It did though. It turned into a fine cheese
KTT is such Thug snobs lol
No way is SMF weak just cause he polished his formula.
It ain't better than B6, Jeffrey but still fire
I love Thug but you can't dominate without being the most successful. That's just a fact
Op said quality not sales
Man all I know is BTG aged amazingly
Top tier

stopped reading at only good Drake project is IYRTITL

Lol yeah wtf
NWTS and Take Care are classics
Sometimes it really confuses me how some people will literally say that sales which is one of the only real tangible measurements is no factor at all but then treat their opinion on quality as a fact and I say that as someone who don’t even care about how many units an artist is moving like that
Not gonna hold OP for their opinion but that’s all it is, an opinion
