    I said Queen flopped. Her fanbase isn't the reason why PF2 was successful. She was churning out ACTUAL hits for a year then dropped an album people loved.

    Drake can do the same if he ever decides to make good music again

    crazy to think there was a long ass period where it looked like Nicki and Kanye would never get real hits again

    You saying this like Nicki outsold Drake or something

    Nicki has never been a bigger artist than Drake, this makes no sense.

    If people loved Pink Friday 2, how it already out of the Top 20 selling albums in the country?

    PF2 outdid Queen by every metric imaginable and is being streamed more daily than all her other projects. Same can't be said about Kendrick

    Kanye didn't have a true hit since FSMH, Nicki I don't know when but definitely didn't have one in the Queen era

    FATD went 2x plat in 5 months and you got people in here trying to call it a flop

    For All the Dogs about the spend its 23rd consecutive week in the top 10 but it's a flop meanwhile Utopia, which dropped almost 3 months earlier than For All the Dogs and only managed to spend 11 weeks in the top 10, is a rousing success to the same people calling For All the Dogs a flop lmao.

    It's always "X doesn't care about sales anymore" when the numbers start dropping

    Can't do physicals first week when you submit your album the night of release.

    Almost like that's how he's been working on music for decades

    Lmao huh

    Were physicals of Views magically printed and stocked on shelves the minute after he recorded his last verse?

    There's a turnaround for physicals that is a bit longer than 1 hour.

    Please respond to @midzy claiming that FATD is s*** and underperformed but Pink Friday 2 sold well because it’s a great album, even though FATD is still in the Top 10 on Billboard and PF2 isn’t even in the Top 20

    "Who said I didn’t like Morale? I think it’s a great album. It’s just obviously not as accessible as GKMC and DAMN.
    Projection kept dropping because it wasn’t accessible, not because people didn’t like it.
    Y’all have to remove from your minds the thinking that numbers = quality. That’s never been the case and never will be"

    I’m responding to the person using the logic of “sales = quality”.

    THEY said that.

    And they claimed that PF2 sold well because it’s a great album, but FATD didn’t because it’s s***.

    So then I used their own logic to ask them why PF2 is not currently in the Top 20 if it sold so well because people loved it.

    This is like common sense debating

    Hilarious that we live in a reality where Michael Jackson and Katy Perry can be used in the same sentence cause of their billboard achievement

    Just saw a post that FATD is now in the top 10 most streamed rap albums ever. In 5 months lmao and you got bozos in here claiming that it flopped

    For an album to perform well it has to stay in the top 20 till the end of time?

    You’re contradicting yourself.

    You said For All the Dogs was s*** and didn’t sell well because people didn’t like it.

    You said Pink Friday 2 sold well because people loved it.

    If that’s the case, how is For All the Dogs still within the Top 10 on Billboard five months after release, and Pink Friday isn’t even in the Top 20 even though it released only three months ago?
