    Well it outstreamed it in their first 8 months comparatively .

    My point is NLU is nowhere near as big as you think, to call it one of the biggest songs ever is laughable

    That’s not what I’m asking. Is that Lil Tecca song more popular than Not Like Us?

    Not Like Us IS one of the biggest songs of all time, you have lost your mind

    This whole argument is to prove the point that raw numbers do not tell the whole story.

    NO, GKMC is NOT the most popular rap album of all time simply because it’s charted the longest.

    NO, that Lil Tecca song is NOT more popular than Not Like Us simply because it got more streams in its first 8 months.

    NO, My Turn is NOT the most popular rap album of the 2020s simply because it’s charted the longest this decade.

    NO, Sunflower by Post Malone & Swae Lee is NOT the most popular song of all time simply because it went Double Diamond before any other song.

    Even in sports numbers don’t tell the whole story. Y’all want everything to be black and white so badly

    You just said that GKMC is the most popular rap album of all time. You sound crazy

    It's remained at the forefront of popular rap music for a decade. While other albums may have had higher peaks in popularity, GKMC's overall impact makes a strong argument for it being the most poplar rap album of all time (in the US)

    There's 0 arguments to ever assume GNX is the most popular rap albums of the decade.

    Okay, this conversation is pointless. You get your opinions from stat sheets.

    I recognize you think whatever has the higher number is automatically more popular, so this conversation is futile

    I’m literally arguing AGAINST a Kendrick album in this same discussion

    Y’all always try to act like I’m some Kendrick stan and I’m really not, he’s not even among my Top 5 favorite rappers ever I barely listen to him

    This is what happens when you have no black people in your life and let streams dictate your taste

    Pop stans are so lost

    You went months talking about how massive and popular GNX was

    You just don't want to sound like an idiot. So even with GNX freefalling, you'll still claim it's popular till the end.

    Do they even listen to classic albums that don’t have high streams?

    Are those albums less classic because of their streaming numbers?

    GNX is the most popular rap album of the 2020s whether you want to accept that or not.

    This is ironic because lil baby had a much bigger white fan base because of white peoples infatuation with street rap

    And yes black people love Luther Vandross, that’s part of the reason the record was so big

    These are my most listened to artists of each month this year so far. I really don’t understand why they think I’m a Kendrick stan on here, I barely listen to the guy. It only spiked in May because I went to his tour that month.

    Yeah that was insane, not sure why he thinks a Luther Vandross heavy song is less black, he definitely let the mask slip a little

    They’re either white or non-black pop fans that don’t understand rap or black culture whatsoever and use stat sheets to try to tell us what’s actually relevant. It’s pathetic
