SZA GOATED
But the industry is not ready for that convo.
And we know why 👀
Just sounds like a wannabe Frank to me
“Who cares about sales”
Presumably the users in the sales thread
“Wasn’t the meta on ktt1”
It absolutely was lol. Young Thug was constantly mocked for being mr 16k
Sales and commercial dominance have and will always be a part of the conversation
There is a difference imo. Back then, sales were more highlighted when something interesting happened like Wayne selling 1 Million first week or Ye selling more than 50. Or the meme with Thug because he consistently sold under 30k.
The focus on sales has gotten too much in recent years. Now it has turned into a weekly obsession with people tracking every percentage drop and point artists gain every week. Making charts and s***. Artists like Cardi have started to be scared to drop because they know they will get mocked online if they sell below expectations.
Off of pop music s*** like Hold On Were Going Home that little girls had on repeat
Can't compare this to someone that raps on every song
Kendrick has a lot of pop songs that didn't manage to pop off.

As a huge Drake stan it’s hilarious how the conversation doesn’t stop at “Kendrick won”
This beef really did a number on my fellow Drake stan they just can’t accept this new reality

Social media policing in big 2024
Too grown to vote in an Instagram poll who makes up these rules

Gucci Mane has one of the largest discogs u can think of and he isn't even in the top 100 most streamed artists in the world yesterday. Got another excuse?

As a huge Drake stan majority of Gucci’s discography is mixtapes and he’s far from a pop artist…

Taylor Swift is the most successful average talented pop star out right now, perhaps of all time.
Take from that what you will.

Fwiw irl the only two people I know that do all that for sales are just finance bros who love numbers

So they aren't available on DSPs, is that what u are saying?
“Kendrick just opened his mouth. Somebody hand him a Grammy right now.”
That’s the opening line from the third verse of Drake’s “Family Matters” diss song aimed at Kendrick Lamar. To keep it all the way real with y’all, it’s a pretty good song! It might have won the battle had Kendrick not completely stomped on it within the hour of its release.
Now, it seems like Drake’s worst nightmare might come true. The Recording Academy might hand Kendrick Lamar another Grammy. Except, this time, it’ll be explicitly at Drake’s expense.
Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” has become one of the biggest — if not the biggest — songs of 2024. Not only does it slap, but it’s also inspired countless memes and parodies of it.
