How they leave K. Dot off? FDX!
Can you read @ Lamar Baudy…they clearly said he fell off.
You can put #43 but not #45? FOH!
I see what ya sayin. 40, 42, and 43 on the list but not 45. At least he’s mentioned in the article.
Major Without Sales would have been a more apt tittle.
Where is Tygas Album?
It flopped hard, no one coped that garbage. Now you kinda see why Baby kept pushing it back.
I really don’t get what that bar graph is all about.
Never mind, I got it. But still, it’s kind of unnecessary.
i dont think ive ever seen someone with so much buzz fall off the charts after two weeks.
what is drake going to do when all those teenage girls grow up and move on
This is sad seeing as people went at troy ave and tyga did worse with all the damn kardashians and his rapper friends tweeting out links to itunes for his album SMH… I just read this on the Complex website: You’ll remember, Ave dropped his Major Without a Deal on a Friday as well. In the same timespan, Troy Ave managed to sell 4,373 hundred copies while—as of Wednesday morning—SoundScan reveals that Tyga, for his part, did…2,200. When we didn’t see his album on the Top 50 Album Sales Chart on HitsDailyDouble, we decided to check the number for ourselves, which you can see below:
d oing all these graphs and numbers and still cant give us total album sales..this site rly cant do the 1 things its supports asks.
Only reason why drake going so strong for one the album is one of the best drake album I heard from him and the second reason is because he’s part white notice even through he’s out of top ten everybody else is below in the 30 and 40s
Yeah man def because he’s white and not because he makes the best songs. You so right “brotha.” You so right. Drake makes such unrelatable music isnt insane right, I mean am I right? Clown.
It is because he’s part white and lighter skinned. Same with J Cole. White people and black c00ns feel more comfortable with people like that, so they support.
Silento is another aspiring dope rapper who made the top 10 with watch me.
You mean he’s another trash rapper with a terrible song that only made it because of Vine. He’s not even rapping in that song, it’s just dance instructions.
Bibby Schmurda, ILoveMakonnen, Fetty Wap, T-Waynr, and now Silento. Dan is just gonna cosign every trash novelty one-hit wonder rapper.
Again whats wrong with vine? Everyone needs to dance once in a while.
What’s wrong with Vine? It’s making shitty songs famous and Watch Me is the shittiest one of all.
Its paying tribute to a classic called crank that. These songs arent meant to be complicated. Just fun. Whats wrong with that?
Crank That is trash, too, and it is not a classic. There’s nothing fun about those songs. They suck big time and requires no talent.
Dance and instruction songs have been very popular. They have been highly acclaimed. So whats wrong with watch me?
Dont talk shit about my homie MACKINNON!!
No. Those type of songs are never good. 7/11 is also a dance instruction song and it’s also trash. Watch Me epitomizes the things wrong with hip-hop. There’s not even any rapping in it, it’s just the same shit being repeated over and over on a cheap beat made on FL Studio. It’s white noise that’ll be forgotten in time.
Its not meant to be lyrical. Just something to dance too at a club or when you feel sad. Why can’t you see that? Vine is a great platform and there will be more dope rappers on the radio as aresult. Im not cocampaigning everyone of course. Ye lawolf started on vine and was garbage.
Still not an excuse as those songs are still trash. Vine is actually a terrible platform that only brings trash rappers and novelty acts, no dope rappers. Also, Yelawolf was never on Vine, he already had a career before that crap and he’s dope, not garbage.
Besides, if you want music to dance to, then listen to EDM.
Haters gonna hate
And dickriders gonna dickride. Have fun hopping on the latest fad/bandwagon.
Lol, OVO fan couldn’t spell Makonnen’s name right.
Drizzy str8 beastin’ on these niggas!!! OVO keepin’ that real hip-hop alive.
HA!!
BITING MY SHIT, HUH? BUT ANYWAY, DOCUMENTARY 2! GAME STR8 BEASTIN ON THESE NICCAS!
Thats right Drake,like to b honest,Drake’s album is tha best fuckin rap album in tha world,am a drizzyfan,and I can tell,he is better than ever.
Cool story, bro.
I dont fuck with these posts no more since they dont tell us total amount of units sold for an album, just tell us for the week
Yeah my man Boosie Badazz album was dope as fuck that’s alright tho Boosie you’ll get em next time.
Drake is only famous because there is more White people and Black people in the world in America. Drake looks gay and his songs suck.
Who buys albums anymore? Lol. Nobody supports these devil worshipers because they got exposed.
I don’t like Drake. He thinks started from the bottom when he didn’t. I checked his old MySpace from 2006. He had 10,000 friends and 5,000 comments from fans. Drake always been a celebrity. Celebrities are stupid and are not even human.
lol

If Drake was Chinese he wouldn’t even be famous.
