6 god! Datz all.
Drake keeps cementing his place in History.Def the best of this generation.
beYAWNce and her team have always inflated her album sales. Rihanna and Drake have real-time numbers as Rihanna’s singles have slayed R&B as well as Hip Hop. beYAWNce did not even crack the top 10 with any of her singles on the pop chart and is not doing anywhere near Rihanna’s single sales on that chart Makes one wonder if those numbers are even valid for Limeade….Wigonce needs to have several seats with her fake, narcissistic ass.
What are you talking about? Beyonce beat out Taylor Swift’s record for most songs on a single album to chart the Billboards. And if Billboard is lying about Beyonce they lyin bout everyone. Bumb Drake and even Rihanna (Though I do love her). Even if they do sell more (Which Rihanna didn’t) it’s only cause they don’t stand for anything. Not woman, black woman, OR BLACK PPL AT ALL. I don’t even know why either of them spout the n-word out their mouth. Drake too busy talkin bout how he’s “tired of helpin niggas.” And Rihanna from the islands.
P.S. I ONLY WRITE THIS WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT YOUR BLACK. I REALLY WISH BLACK PPL WERE AWARE ON HOW THEY HURT EACH OTHER IN SUPPORT OF THOSE WHO DONT SUPPORT THEM, IF YOUR WHITE DISREGARD THIS MESSAGE.
Toy Toy you sounding hella foolish girl
how much did Rittz do with TOP OF THE LINE?
What’s crazy is that the title of the article says HIP HOP sales – Drake, Beyoncé and Rihanna! I don’t believe any of the mentioned is Hip Hop! #hiphopisdead
What type of nigga hates on Beyoncé on a hip-hop site? Her and her team always inflate sales? How do they inflate? What is she gaining from doing that? She’s already wealthy. Album sales ain’t going to bring her more money. I did go to 4 Targets to find cd for my girl. Yeah inflation. She’s touring also .
