Your right he needed Rocky

Travis is outstreaming Carti right now on Spotify. Literally what the f*** are you talking about
they did this same thing with Carti when WLR came out around DONDA and CLB
there was a whole ass thread saying WLR “felt bigger” in spite of CLB pushing like 600k first week, and Kanye literally having the entire world in the palm of his hand with sold out stadiums during DONDA
it’s just delusion lol, it seems like they can’t separate their stanning for this guy from how popular he is apparently
Jan 4, 2024·1 replySlutdogFolks are going to be shocked when Carti sells like 100k first week. Internet clout ≠ Real life fame
His artists doing the numbers they did with internet clout should let you know he’s gonna do fine. Especially when the album is gonna spread like wildfire. Plus he’s not on that WLR s*** so it’s a more inviting sound this time around. It’s Carti bruh, everyone’s gonna listen
Jan 4, 2024Carti dominates the section of the hip hop community that is most active online.
I think he’ll do 200k fw but it’s still not really mainstream like that

Didn’t know that running the game meant having people copy you. Kinda sounds like history is being rewritten here.

The highest sales one of his artists has done is like 40k? I think you're on the internet too much which is why you think Carti bigger than he actually is
Jan 4, 2024AlfieNoahPost wlr is more mainstream friendly he’s the biggest out rn
I love Carti but there is no verifiable metric to prove that he is the biggest artist in rap right now. That just isn’t true whatsoever.
He’s definitely one of the biggest rappers out right now, sure, but he’s for sure not the biggest

Not saying Carti bigger than Drake, but having people copy you is a pretty big part of running the game.

Listen man
There’s no point in arguing with carti stans. They’re delusional beyond reason and borderline obsessed
You can’t have a discussion with them because carti can’t just be a unique artist that makes cool music. He HAS to be the most talented, creative, innovative and influential of all time because I lowkey think they have a weird crush on him or something
It kinda reminds me of Tyler Stan’s back when OF first blew up but somehow even more annoying
Yeah, I agree with this. Tyler at least developed into a great artist though. I cannot say the same for Carti

Drake stans used to shove down this narrative down our throat when guys like Bryson Tiller were poppin

I’m just comparing them for their fan base
Carti stans can’t just be fans of his music, They gotta make it they whole lifestyle
Lotta kids did that with Tyler back in the day. Only the thing with Carti is it isn’t just kids, It’s weirdos in they mid 20s obsessed with another grown ass man

Drake hasn’t really been at the top or been that nigga for a while tbh. He’ll always have the numbers and the “normies” for lack of a better term but Carti been a better and more exciting artists than him for years atp.
Drake don’t move anything. Just follows trends and does his own generic version of it but he puts it on to the normies/mainstream. IDGAF is a perfect example of this
drake is proof to these numbers obsessed Niggas that numbers don’t matter

40k not great for a new artist now? I'm not even a Ken carson fan but his sales were great for him especially given that he's a new artist

Bobby_96Sales wise, no rapper is going to top Drake in this decade. That's a given.
But, if we're talking who's influencing the culture the most from inside, Drake really isn't in that conversation anymore.
There's been way more Keef, Wayne, Carti, Cudi, and Thugger influence on 2020's rap than Drake. Jack Harlow's really the only rapper who draws direct influence style wise from Drake.
So, in a nutshell, the rage/hyperpop rappers, street/Drill rappers, Emo rappers, female rappers, and Trap rappers already run the culture. They just don't have bigger sales than Drake for the most part due to Drake having more crossover appeal.
Drake will still put up bigger numbers than most of the new school even if his music declines simply because he has the most crossover appeal of any rapper besides maybe Eminem. And you can't beat that.
But the shift you're referring to has already happened. It's just that Carti and his clones will never have the mass appeal or sales of Drake.
Great post Mr Valentino
