Take Care pre-dates streaming and still has a better argument for a batch of singles that could stand next to Graduation’s (Marvin’s Room, Headlines, Take Care, The Motto)

Anybody bringing up Controlla and Too Good in a discussion vs. Graduation’s singles is getting laughed at man

Funny how now you don't wanna argue numbers in a thread about numbers. You wanna argue semantics, which is absolutely ridiculous.

Those 4 songs I mentioned off Views will still ring off today. Play Too Good, One Dance and Controlla at any summer party and everyone will dance to it. Hotline Bling is also a classic smash hit.

You keep hailing Graduation as this holy grail album that no commercial rap album has matched since its release and that's just because you're stuck in the past.

I’m not stuck in the past at all, that’s not even in my Top 5 Ye albums

You fail to realize that Billboard numbers pre-streaming don’t always accurately represent how big hip-hop songs were. You probably think Faneto wasn’t a smash hit since it never charted at all.

One Dance has almost 3 Billion streams, there's only like 4-5 songs that also have that lol

Why are you crying? You asked for 4 hit singles off Views and I gave them to you and now you wanna argue what is perceived as more iconic or not (something, that unlike numbers, is entirely subjective). You made an argument and you got proved wrong. Move on.

None of them are by Kanye either

F*** about numbers

Flashing Lights alone s***s on Drakes discography

"Circo Loco"

Nigga, nobody cares. We can make this argument for thousands of albums that were released before the streaming era. Again, you asked for 4 hit singles of Views and I gave them to you and now you're shifting your argument. Stop it.

Using raw numbers to argue something that released during streaming vs. pre-streaming is so damn disingenuous.

Man probably thinks Too Good by Drake is a bigger song than Beat It by MJ because Too Good is approaching Diamond

I conceded One Dance is comparable, Hotline Bling as well.

Controlla and Too Good, not so much

You really are a pathetic and sore loser.

Why are you stuck on the number of singles though?

Since y'all compare

Stronger would've 5 billion streams if streaming services were a thing in the 00s

You know I’m right

You know how many worldwide recognizable songs never went Diamond?

And you’re in here saying Too Good by Drake can stand next to Graduation’s singles because it’s approaching diamond status in the streaming era. Give me a break man.

So now, we should fault songs that dropped in the streaming era and not concede to them being hits despite having the numbers to be considered such because there are older songs that would have, could have, should have been bigger IF they were released in the streaming era? Do you hear how stupid that argument is?

I’m just saying, there are certain classics that had a handful of iconic and worldwide known singles (Thriller, GRODT, Graduation, etc.)

vs.

The classics like Views and Carter 3 that were huge albums but just had maybe 1 or 2 really big songs on them

So, now a song with over 1B streams on Spotify and almost 10M units moved in the US doesn't count as hit because a KTT2 user says so?

I just know TGD fuming typing all these paragraphs right now

We're just comparing Apples to Oranges at this point

Kanye has 3 songs with a billion streams on Spotify

One Dance almost has more streams than all of those combined

No, I’m not saying fault them, but you can tell which songs are on that level and which are just being propped up by the streaming era.

Songs like God’s Plan, Nice For What, In My Feelings, One Dance, Hotline Bling… those are SMASHES.

Not damn Too Good

Never said it wasn’t a hit.

We’re talking about WORLDWIDE SMASHES.

There’s a difference

Kinda crazy because I never hear One Dance outside and nobody talkes about it

Strong case of farming bots just like Life Is Good

One Dance is one of them ones

I’m talking about Too Good

Carter 3 had more than two. A Milli and Lollipop are already two. Lol

Album has Got Money and Mrs. Officer too

Also outsold Grad
