    1. it’s crazy that drake’s considered the most popular ‘rapper’ right now but eminem still outsells him 3:1

      1. You’re fuckin trippin’, I can name 5 “good white rappers” right off the top: El-P, Slug, Ill Bill, Apathy and Ryu.

      1. You mean Q Miller that is credited and so are the other writers. Just like any Jay Z, Eminem, Schoolboy Q, A$AP Rocky, Snoop album?

    2. But who else going plat these days? It dosent matter if it took him 6 months…he went gold first week tho. Jay Z last 5 albums it took him more than 6 months to go plat..look it up

    3. drake proves time and time again that he runs this rap shit. He has the rap game by the throat. The rest of these rappers struggle to even sell half of drakes numbers. Eminem is nothing but a washed up pop hasbin. Drake makes better music than that screaming hypocrite its a fact. Who else can touch drakes numbers. Nobody else in the rap game including jay z can outsell drake in 2015. Drake is the real rap god and every other rapper doesnt matter unless they get a drake feature. Learn to accept numbers which are facts. Fact is drake runs the rap game and numbers back that up.

      1. Yeah dot is better lyrically than Drake though.. Sells matter but he can’t really step to Kendrick mic skills wise.

      2. Drake didn’t lift anyone up. Kendrick lifted himself up and he easily shits on Drake. The only thing Drake has over him is pop audiences.

      3. This is what rap has become, a matter of “units sold” instead of quality of music…. You can’t even compare Drake and K Dot. Especially, since Drake needs ghostwriters… I like Drake’s music but he’s not authentic.

    4. all yall talking about how long it takes drake to go platinum when your favorite artists don’t even achieve it…. smh…. salute to the lame…

      1. they ain’t taking the bait are they? because they know you can never speak like me, and you’re using a 10 year old internet tactic that;s lame, like you. now carry on little boy, lol

      2. 50 sold 10 million apiece with his 1st two albums. Congratulation to Drake! somebody said Drake is the only one who can go platinum. Kendrick did it to. Nicki did it to. Fuck outta here!!

    5. The Hip-Hop community would like to congratulate Quentin Miller on his platinum plaque! You started from the bottom, now look where you are, kid. Quentin, we can’t wait to hear what you have in store for us on Views from the 6. Take care.

    6. This album sells a million in 6 months. He calls hinself the 6 God. His next album is called “Views from the 6”. It’s a conspiracy, man!

    7. Drake makes good music for the masses. Of course there are better artists, but it skill level is only a piece of the entire game. I still think this dude smokes cock, but I respect his hustle.

    8. kudos to Drake. Kudos to Kendrick Lamar. These two artists are not mutually exclusive. They are both great. Drake helped Kendrick get his shine. Hiphop is at a great time when phony gangsta thugs are in the background and real hiphop about real people is at the forefront. Both Drake and Kendrick are great examples of black men getting money without pretending to be gangsta. stop trying to divide

    9. The trolls are angry hahaha meek lie,haters lie, numbers dont lie! Drake’s IQ is supreme haters n yall know it.

      1. Yeah even the track that Kendrick featured Drake on or vice versa? Only the fans hype up this competition where you’re only allowed to like one or the other. Hey guess what, you can like both corny nigga

    10. Lames be outchea giving props to Quentin Miller. FOH Drake been selling platinum way before Quentin Miller came into the picture

    11. Congrats to Drizzy! I have a few friends big in gay club scene in the 6 and I heard that Drake has a pretty big dick, but that he exclusively bottoms. I was disappointed when I found that out, as most of my fantasies consistent of Drake aggressively pounding me. I still love you Drizzy! One of these days, I want to suck that thick hairy cock dry. You best believe I’d swallow every last drop.

    12. Jay Z and Kanye and Dr. Dre and Eminem and Game have all gone platnium already I can keep going though L.L Cool J,Beastie Boys,Master P ect…..

      1. some of those guys cant go platinum in 2015…. kanye barely doing it and games last 2-3 albums havent gone there
