BRAVEEm, Ye and Wayne’s classic verses share one set of traits the other names don’t: witty, humorous, easy to rap along with for any age - all at once. Their delivery is also similarly a balance between aspirational macho and passionately youthful, the latter of which the three also possess more than their peers who lean much more in the former direction
And it explains why they have a grip on the youth across every platform. To the point it’s expectedly anecdotal, ie your example with your cousins
Yeah.
Ye may be a POS as a person but his classics aren't going away anytime soon just like MJ"s pedo allegations and that documentary haven't stopped his current numbers.
Em, Ye, and Wayne are the consensus 2000's "Big 3" and they outlasted all of their peers from that late 90's and 2000's era despite all 3 of them not being in their musical primes anymore.

May 29, 2025·2 repliesBobby_96I mean...I can see that.
But I think we have to put things in perspective here.
Em, Ye, and Wayne are deadass the ONLY veteran rappers who debuted before 2009 putting up these type of numbers.
Their actual peers like 50, Game, TI, Luda, Jeezy, Nelly, Camron, etc. could only dream of putting up numbers like that on streaming.
Also, OG's like Jay, Nas, Snoop, Cube, etc. aren't putting up these numbers.
Kanye may stagnate or even fall off in the streaming department but literally the only peers competing with him are Em and Wayne. If that's the bar, then he really isn't going to be impacted.
Also, people still listen to Ye's music as a guilty pleasure even among Gen Z. I know because I've seen it. Got some young cousins who will clown Ye for the coonery but still have Can't Tell Me Nothin and Father Stretch My Hands on their Spotify playlists.
Yeah you are def right. They are in a class of their own when it comes to timeline peers of theirs. I just think of it as like okay say 100 ppl listened to Kanye last year, i think like at most 90 will listen this year cause of the nazi s***. Who knows tho

Yeah...I agree.
The controversies did hurt him esp. in his current run but the classics still live on.

One Thing At a Time released two years ago and has already sold 9M units. I’m sorry but no current rapper is anywhere near close to that level of success right now

travis hasn't even had a 400m+ streaming week in his career, and i don't see him getting one with his next album given that astroworld and utopia only managed ~350m each.

yeah i think prereleased song count as total sales, just not for first week.
If NLU was added to GNX, it would count as close to 4X plat by now.
