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

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?

I would still say the kanye songs are hits. Just not mega hits.

a successful album or a flop album is relative to the artist which is what they are saying.

They said it "underperformed for drake"

So an album that’s out of the Top 20 on Billboard three months post release is successful? Compared to an album that’s a “flop” even though it’s still one of the highest selling albums in the country five months post-release? Do y’all hear yourselves?

Do y’all only care about first week numbers? Does longevity mean nothing?

You can't be this ed

I'm comparing the albums performance by the INDIVIDUAL artist potential.

"RELATIVE TO THE ARTIST"

My Turn

2y

we are talking longevity. stop being dense.

roselei

Okay so then by every conceivable metric, For All the Dogs has been extremely successful and Pink Friday has been relatively forgotten about

My Turn

2y

again relative to the artist

roselei

2y

You’re saying that like Nicki Minaj is some B-tier artist

My Turn

2y

I dont think anyone expected nicki to do drake and travis numbers overall

roselei

2y

Nicki Minaj, the biggest female rapper of all-time, shouldn’t be held to a high standard?

roselei

2y

I never said that. But if the album supposedly sold well because people loved it, shouldn’t it still be performing well three months later?

My Turn

2y

It is performing well relative to a lot of albums. So I dont see your point.

roselei

2y

It’s currently selling less than Take Care

My Turn

2y

Okay? So is almost every rap album that came out after it.

roselei

2y

Selling less than Tate McRae’s album too, which released on the same day

My Turn

2y

Okay? What point are you trying to make?

roselei

That, if the logic is people loved the album so that’s why it sold well, it would be selling a lot better than it currently is. It’s dropping fast week after week
