That’s a dumb argument because sales clearly matter now and there are hella rappers who aren’t selling who are still popular. Thug was flopping for years when sales mattered and that didn’t stop his career at all, but since you bring up Jadakiss

Jadakiss was beefing with 50 Cent and had to consistently defend his record sales because that was the biggest thing 50 had over him, “You might sell more records than me but in the streets you’ll always be second to me” because sales mattered, he wouldn’t even have to have said that if they didn’t

But regardless that’s a dumb argument because I never said sales were make or break, but sales absolutely did come up in discussions of rappers before Drake. That’s not my opinion, I literally lived it and am giving you multiple examples but you are one of the most stubborn people to disagree with so you’ll probably somehow find a way to keep disagreeing

Do y'all think Hip-hop being about sales is a recent trend?

It predates the internet.

ANY genre worth anything will be about sales. It's cute to act like sales don't mean anything but the moment your record gets put out for sale, it becomes about sales.

Young millennials mainly got into rap when Wayne and Kanye were at their peaks so no...not really.

Most niggas here didn't even know that 50 almost titled Curtis "Soundscan Killa" until he had that battle with Ye.

50, Diddy, and Hov birthed the sales obsession in rap.
