Where are Raekwon’s numbers?
For real! The wild is fucking awesome. How is that music not pushed?
Because it’s not 1994 or whatever. It’s 2017 and people don’t want to here 90s style rap anymore. You can say it’s bs cry hold your breath or what ever. But time changes so get over it
Yeah because Kendrick and Cole sound nothing like the 90s, shut up fool
2 rappers but you want a whole new generation to sound like the 90s is fucken retarded , its like in the 90s where i grew up when i use to bump doggy style too short pac wu tang etc every one was hateing and saying 80s rap was real ll cool j rakim and run dmc was real hip hop . and we were all like fuck that bull shit . same concept idiot. shit changes get over it fool
Raekwon FLOPPED HOMIE . He made the flop list go check it out .
drake is like some shit in the toilet cause he always rise to the top, and the quality in between the shit and drake is the same
Raekwon missed the Top 200 charts.
Yikes!
I’m sure he made it easy, but HipHop Dx can care less if he isn’t in the top 50 or so smh
I hope y’all enjoy this B.S. cause when Kendrick drops it’s game over for this clown
Lol ok sure
This is low level thinking. Drake would not benefit by going at kendrick & Kendrick would not benefit by going at drake, we are dealing with intellects. Meek, IMO was a better MC but miscalculated his attack so terribly that he is done as far as being a prominent artist goes. More life went hard and Kendricks new album will too. Its okay for two artists to be on top
Honestly (no bullshit) I think Kendrick will outsell Drake with this new release.
As much as a big Kendrick fan I am, he won’t. As far as commercial appeal goes, Drake got K Dot beat in that department. I’ll be very surprised if Kendrick does outsell Drake.
Well he sold 600,000 and crushed drakes first week numbers, so I guess yo dumb ass was wrong lol stop thinking drake can’t fall off
Hahahaha.
Apple still manipulating those numbers I ser
Raekwon’s album is fire. Who gives a fuck if it charted or not?
ROSS NOT EVEN SNIFFING 200K WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE. PLUS HE STILL GOTTA DEAL WITH 5 STAR STUNNA BIRDMAN. BABY SMART TO NOT REPLY RIGHT NOW… LET THAT BISH FLOP AND BE FORGOTTEN THEN LET THE YOUNGINS AIR OUT OFFICER RICKY’S MAYBACH IN TRAFFIC AGAIN
officer Ricky is done now
his album is jus something I will forget soon
Streams are not sales.
Good past couple weeks for sure in hip-hop. Big Sean’s is great. Trey Songz always putting out good music for also what I listen to. Starboy album is turning into my favourite album. This Drake album though I’ve been stuck listening on repeat for the past week relentlessly. His work output and results speak of Lil Wayne’s work ethic. Hard work breeds greatness. No complaints here from anything coming out right now. Lets be grateful.
So Raekwon did chart, he’s number 88 and released his album on his own label…..Soooo there’s that #THEWILD
i seen this on the headlines on google and i said I’m going to give DX 1 more chance I’m gonna click their website see fi they mention raekwons album even tho it didn’t chart as high as others…and of course not even am mention.. a real hiphop album in a hiphop article ..im out and never coming back to this site..its hiphop for 10 year old white girls
