    Y'all said NOKIA was his best single in years and it got blocked by luther for 13 straight weeks

    Janice STFU just departed from #1 after two weeks

    Best ≠ biggest
    If choosing Texas was out when Luther was out Luther wouldn’t have stayed #1 for long either

    So instead of just acknowledging the success of that song & album, there has to be all of these numerous caveats to explain why it's actually not that impressive?

    3 of GNX's 12 songs have more streams than any of the beef songs not named Not Like Us

    If you're saying that the beef songs being added to the album would've made it the biggest rap album of the decade, then how does a fourth of the album have more streams than almost every single one of the beef songs

    And yet both CLB and My Turn have outsold and outdid GNX yet you refuse to acknowledge that and bring up other reasons as to why it’s “bigger”

    That’s your playbook with drake. Apply that same scrutiny to others

    I have acknowledged numerous times that both of those albums have sold more units than GNX

    Biggest does not equate to best-selling

    No it's not? Take Care, Views, and Scorpion were all huge album eras and there's no caveats to be applied. God's Plan was #1 for 11 straight weeks, no caveats there. CLB was a huge album without having a real hit single, no caveats there

    I never said that. I said that the beefs helped their commercial success, the same way beef helps any album's commercial success. It's not specific to those two albums.

    God's Plan and Nice For What were huge before any beef, so obviously they weren't only big because of the beef

    Why didn’t the beef help The Weeknd’s last album then that absolutely flopped after its first week?

  • Midzy

    What song off GNX is that

    You don’t need a protest anthem on every album for that album to be incredibly impactful, that’s the point dweeb

    That's not true either. I've never denied that the beef boosted Kendrick's star power in 2024, nor have I ever denied that SZA was a factor in luther's success. I just said those aren't the ONLY reasons for those two outcomes like y'all try to say

    He's not a rapper? Also they never really engaged in a direct back and forth, it was single shots on a few verses. But yeah he's also just not a rapper

    You’ll go out of your way to go back and forth with anyway who states it did but at the same time bring up how the beef boosted drake anytime someone shares a stat showing how successful iceman has been. You have 0 consistency. It’s clear you have an agenda. All because drake stans get you upset Lmaoo

    CLB got the biggest rap album numbers this decade but the hits on there don't really show display it.

    Looks like they’re stating real cultural impact vs paid brand sponsorships disguised as “cultural impact”

    Nigga pulled a random tweet and IG post outta his ass like it meant anything at all

    I guess I’m wrong then. Idk what all that means tho. That SZA track really carried damn

    look at how those goalposts moved lol
