Kevin Gates' "Islah" Album Certified Platinum

Wow people be really hating for no reason none y'all know this man never met him he never done nthg to u but y'all on here disrespecting him. Not even his music, just him, that's wild, muh fuckas b hating for the hell of it. Dude is lyrical AF, his expression of his life and life in general is finely put together just like art should be. Most of the problem is y'all probably can't relate to his songs. "454 get two of them u got a thousand 8." Meaningless line to u, but I used to gun n hope for a brick so it mean smthg to me. Idk I guess my point is there's no reason to hate. Ive seen enough ppl out of our lifestyle end up in boxes, cement n pine ones. I'm happy Everytime I c a hood nigga reach success. I don't like the Migos too much, but I'm glad those young black men ain't really in a bando wit 3 sticks. R u mad that they made it cuz u didn't? Shot out to Gates man fuck the haters, "U supposed to shine."

I'm guessing he sold around 200,000 units, the rest were probably streams. Dude is way more popular than rappers who get much more press, guess just more of his fans value his music enough to pay for it.

Inpedendant too...thats at least $6 an album too so thats $6,000,000

Congrats.... I know he kind of an asshole but he keeps it 100. Doesn't pretend to be something he's not

Just a bunch of hating ass niggas... broke asses get ya money up

He's one of the hottest rappers out and he keeps it 100 and to make it clear it was a distant cousin he didn't know until afterwards so get the real info before you speak dumb ass

Pahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Everyone should quit whining. It makes sense to count streams as sales. Since the illegal download age not even the really good artists can sell. It's like adjusting numbers for inflation. (Ex. Williams in 1941 made an estimated 61 million dollars, which is equivalent to 7.3 billion dollars in 2016 *not a real adjustment*) This way you can compare their numbers to artists in other generations easily. Lil Wayne rose to the top at the wrong time. I feel Carter 3 would've sold 8 million if it were 5 years earlier or in the stream-counting age.

How Sway?

I never heard one song from this dude. He's one of these virtual reality rappers like Isaiah Rashad, Young Dolph, Travis Scott, and a bunch of other rappers who are reportedly taking the world by storm, yet I've never one song from them or met one person who knows who they are.
