Implying that KanYe needs those things when controversy has always benefited him just as much if not more lol.
Pretty sure Donda went #1 too. Not a huge feat.
There's controversy
And then there's saying you love the man who was the mastermind behind one of the largest genocides in human history, which is still pretty recent history relatively speaking
How are there still people in here tryna act like Ye didn’t have an uphill battle with this album?
The man said he loves Hitler and lost out on so many industry connects because of it (rightfully so!)
The fact that he was still able to go #1 purely off streaming AND land a #3 hit without the support of the streaming services + label is a huge feat no matter how anyone tries to flip it
Don't waste your time, they're completely rétarded

That’s the most controversial thing he’s ever done. Of course he’s going to go number one after that

now we’re spinning him endorsing Nazi ideology into a positive for his numbers

He would've gone #1 no matter what. Him being a nazi damaged his career this time completely. Y'all can't compare this to his other stuff at all lol
now we’re spinning him endorsing Nazi ideology into a positive for his numbers
They think him being a nazi is the same as being pro Trump
now we’re spinning him endorsing Nazi ideology into a positive for his numbers
Controversy = positive for Ye’s numbers.
You disagreeing with this?

Because Ye fans are acitng like it's some achievement for Kanye, when it's not, he's f***ing Kanye, you guys are acting like he's some Chris Brown tier artist and it is insane. He's been up there with artists like Adele/Ariana/Bieber on streaming numbers even after his comments
this victim complex Kanye fans have is incredible, acting like some underdogs when your fav is in the top 10 most streamed artists every year

Love how y'all keep trying to paint Kanye as some low-level artist who can't manage a #1 album without the backing of a major label lmao.

I don't understand how anyone with common sense doesn't see this. Kanye been massively popular for 20 years now. He has a rabid fanbase that'll ride for him when it comes to music regardless of what he does/says.
It's tons of people still out here listening to R. Kelly's music after all the crazy s*** he's done and gotten CONVICTED for but niggas acting like people still supporting a new Kanye album after his controversial/ignorant comments is some huge deal.

where the tf where these people to enlighten us when the prediction thread was made & almost everyone was lowballing
Was kinda interested in seeing what kind of philosophical non-answer you was gonna give as to whether or not controversy helps Ye
@edumist
This is Kanye’s lowest selling album. Obviously the controversy hurt him but I would not call it a flop.

Kanye is 20 years deep into his career, he absolutely should NOT be dropping #1 albums independently this far in
Do y’all even hear yourselves?
Name another artist who debuted 2004 or earlier not named Beyonce who can drop an independent record right now and go #1

They were saying he wouldn’t clear 100K
Now he does 150K and it’s “oh yeah obviously”

And R. Kelly’s last album in 2015 went triple cardboard, you’re proving our point.
Kanye absolutely should NOT still be this successful. It’s a tremendous feat that he is
