Street rap and mainstream rap is diverting. Sounds crazy that gangsta rappers used to be the biggest rappers in the game.

Now some mainstream rap just doesn't connect to the streets so it leaves space for people like Lil Baby, Youngboy to get so big and for their albums to stream really well.

The streets are often not listening to Carti for example.

I never said it was the highest-selling rap album of the 2020s

I said it was the biggest rap album of the 2020s

Two different metrics

Not even chatgpt agrees with u lmao

Okay so an album that sold 5k records total with a music video with 5 views on youtube can be the biggest album of the decade according to you!

Chatgpt ain’t it chief
We on Claude now

Day 2 not even over Ari

BIG TUNE. Highest outside Drake 😌

Crying niggas can't even outstream Wayne

Why argue with a Drake hater when you can just wait

That s*** dropped low af in streaming the following week lol

Did even better than the projections

225K album units second week

223K of which streams (228.45M) - 1024 streams per album with new rules

173.7K old rules (1315 streams / album as per FATD) - not including YouTube

YouTube Streams - kworb.net/youtube/insights/us.html

30.3M YouTube streams second week for 14/18 songs (other 4 didnt chart in Top 100 of YouTube US weekly)

Not counting the 4 and assuming 10% filter rate, 27.2M YouTube US streams

Additional 20.7K album units from YouTube if old rules

• 2K of album sales / TEA

173.7 + 20.7 + 2 = 196.4K if old rules

For the dude crying about new rules, as if it wouldnt do nearly 200K either way

New rules boost

not denying that, but the numbers are better than FATD for week 1 and 2, even with old rules - and the boost is lower than what the other guy is suggesting (25% vs 15%).

Essentially, boost or not from change in rules (which effects every album released since, not just Drake), the units prove Drake hasn't lost a step since his last solo pre beef (FATD).

Ehh, ICEMAN was always gonna have more interest behind it because of the beef

Tew tweeny fah

Incredibly shameless.

Lemme guess the beef didn’t benefit Drake whatsoever

Lmao

Hey everyone! This girl here is so salty. But want to know something funny? On release night and when first week numbers came out she was LOVING iceman. She predicted it to sell 275-300k. She was wrong and since we’ve been parading it in here her entire opinion on the album changed. Straight up weirdo lol

You were parading that the beef DESTROYED Drakes career. Stfu.

1. I’m not a woman

2. I never predicted ICEMAN to sell 275K-300K

3. I have not changed my opinion of the album whatsoever, it’s still a great album, I’m just not d***riding the sales
