Hip Hop Album Sales: The Week Ending 10/13/2013

    This week saw debuts from Pusha T and Danny Brown. Meanwhile, Drake remained in the Top 3 overall with Nothing Was The Same. Still, none of the above could match-up against Miley Cyrus in sales as her new album Bangerz hit #1 in the Billboard Top 200 chart. 

    Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz sold approximately 271,000 units in its first week helping the actress-singer land at #1. Cyrus, who recently began to rap, as showcased on Mike WiLL Made It’s “23,” enlisted several Hip Hop-based acts for her new album, including Nelly, Big Sean and French Montana. Cyrus’ raps have been criticized by some, but several figures in Hip Hop have defended the young singer, including Mike WiLL Made It

    “The fact that anybody would say anything to her about rapping, the only reason they would say that is because she’s White,” Mike WiLL Made It recently said in an interview with Complex. “And I never knew you had to be Black, White, Asian, or whatever to rap, I thought you had to just be talented. With rapping, that’s just another form of expressing your music. Whether you’re going to rap, you’re going to sing, it’s whatever you want. She still sings on that song, so it’s just another way to express it. It’s just a good song. As long as it’s good, nothing matters. She does her thing. As far as rapping goes, as long as you are telling the truth and you have a good flow, then you win.”

    Cyrus landed at #1, followed by Panic! At The Disco’s Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die, which sold more than 83,000 units in its first week. They were followed by Drake’s Nothing Was The Same at #3. 

    Drake’s Nothing Was The Same Lands At # 3

    Drake has managed to remain near the top of the charts with Nothing Was The Same. Drake’s album opened at #1 on the charts when it debuted. This week, it sold more than 82,000 units, helping it surpass Hip Hop debuts from Pusha T and Danny Brown. To date, Drake’s Nothing Was The Same has sold more than 889,000 units. Last week, Drake sold 148,000 units. This week, Drake made headlines after the rapper-singer-actor reportedly dropped Future from his Would You Like a Tour? run. This week, BET also released the full version of Kendrick Lamar’s reported Drake diss at the Hip Hop Awards. Drake has yet to speak publicly about the reported diss.  

    Pusha T’s My Name Is My Name Opens At # 4

    Pusha T’s My Name Is My Name, a project he’s often called the year’s best, debuted this week at #4. The album sold more than 75,000 units. In an interview published October 7, Pusha T spoke with HipHopDX about the album. “I just think that it’s different episodes of my life,” Pusha T said of MNIMN. “I really pride myself in making street, Hip Hop music. I felt like, that was sort of needed, and I felt like that was the void that was missing in Hip Hop. There’s lot of great Hip Hop out there, but as far as street, Hip Hop goes, I can’t really say there’s a true spokesman for it like myself. So, that’s how I’m looking at it.” My Name is My Name features production from Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and The-Dream, among others. The album also includes contributions from various artists, including Chris Brown, Rick Ross and Kendrick Lamar. 

    Danny Brown’s Old Lands In The Top 20

    This week, Danny Brown opened on the charts with Old. The album, which has garnered critical acclaim, landed in the Top 20. Old sold more than 14,000 units in its first week. In an interview published October 3, Danny Brown spoke with HipHopDX about the project, likening his music to drugs. “My dope is the most potent,” Brown said. “I put it on the block, and it do what it do. They stand in front of the house a couple times and catch a couple sales. But when I put that stamp on the street, I got the fire pack, and don’t nobody else want your dope no more.” Danny Brown’s Old features production from Paul White, A-Trak and JMIKE, among others. Old also includes work from other artists, including ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Freddie Gibbs.

    1. yet again pusha ton proved y’all hating us crabs in a bucket niggas wrong. y’all hating ass crabs were saying that he’s going to sell at least 10-15k like nelly but he did great numbers with no radio play

      1. yet again pusha ton proved y’all hating ass crabs in a bucket niggas wrong. y’all hating ass crabs were saying that he’s going to sell at least 10-15k like nelly but he did great numbers with no radio play

    2. Congrats pusha t no air play still sold a respectable amount with 75k !! More than a couple mainstream first week album sales

      1. Take out 2 chainz, french montana, ace hood, rich gang, and dj khaled and you’re only right about big sean.

        They all went gold 1st week.

      1. If that’s not sarcasim then you’re a MORON he’s about to go platinum in 2 weeks from now and has gone platinum in canada already. Secondaly he’s about to hit the platium mark in less than 2months.

      1. “Or that Miley Cyrus is on here even though she have nothing to do with Hip-hop?”

        Miley has to do everything with hiphop. She’s got hiphop acts, she works with a hiphop producer, and she even spits out rhymes. She also has a huge ass required for female hiphop artists.

    3. Almost a year later and Kendrick is STILL SELLING damn J cole you were supposed to be number 2 smh oh well all I know is kendrick next album is gonna be HUGE and might be what he needs to take the crown from Drake if he delivers im praying for a real Kendrick vs Drake rivalry to explode could be legendary

      1. why they gotta be rivals though? cant they both just do what they do, put out music, sell mad records, get awards and make big money, theres enough for them both

    4. If you ain’t got that Pusha T album, go get it, that thang is fire! Y’all need to checkout thegrandreport, they got some good hip hop and viral videos on there

      1. hope they’re putting it in the back, their time is almost up as you can see they falling off the chart after only 3 weeks LOL

      2. Wheres street king immortal? You wiggers keep dreaming that G-Unit’s gonna come back need to stop doing bath salts and get on board with the hottest crew in rap its Maybach niggaz!!!!

      1. Wrong. Pusha did well for an artist of his caliber, Miley ain’t running shit, and her ass is comparable to pancakes.

    5. Wonder what all the homophobes got to say about Drake almost platinum right now. Yall wanna make fun of the boy but you guys are just insecure about your own sexuality, that no-homo shit been dead. I got hella pussy in highschool, that means I can’t think a nigga like Asap Rocky looks handsome in some ripped jeans, Jeremy Scott sneakers, and a Kanye West hip-hop shirt? It’s fashion. Plus my girl agreed wit me when I told her Asap got that colgate, orbit chewing gum smile. The truth is the truth, you guys just insecure. Yall wanna call a nigga like Drake gay but then yall act like yall never wondered if the nigga skin complexion smell like honey or vanella smh…

    7. foh. why u gotta do that? you white broke and lonely as a mother fucker, fuck u if u aint got shit to say dont post man, this is unnecessary

    8. Pusha’s flopping. Miley is running hiphop with an ass comparable to huge pillows and with talent compared to Marvin Gayes and Bette Milder.

      1. Im not gay idiot. When did I ever say I was gay? Miley’s a female so she has no dick. She’s running hiphop.

      2. everyone thinks you’re gay man. that must mean something. you’re probably just in denial still or afraid to come out.

      3. Drop your perception that only gay people like YMCMB because that’s not true. Miley’s flopping her big ass at us while Pusha T is just flopping period.

      4. Pusha will go plat due to word of mouth. Why do you think it scored an 82 on Metacritic meaning “universal acclaim” while Miley got a 62? Shit, even Allmusic and Soin gave MNIMN a higher score than Bangerz. Pitchfork gave MNIMN a 8.0/10 while they didn’t even bother reviewing Miley. It will go plat like Wale.

    9. Drake = current day Nelly.

      However, I expect his demise to be much worse because his ‘booking check’ and his ‘take-home’ check are WAAAAYYYYY different. He’s making much less per show than Nelly did. lol

      1. are u retarted, wiz went gold his last album, and is at 400,000 with onifc, drake and nicki are going to continue selling like they have been, t.i sell sells a good amount of records

    11. “more than 2 chainz, big sean, french montana, ace hood”

      2 Chainz went gold last time. Big Sean’s sold 10 million singles, and Ace Hood has had several albums to his name. Before you swallow Pusha for selling 75k, consider how he just flopped despite being affiliated with Kanye West.

      1. i love how you try to shit on artists for going platinum in the past and not anymore but now you’re defending 2 chainz for going gold in the past

      2. consider how big sean flopped with more promo, miley cyrys in his video, lil wayne on his first single…all while being affiliated with kanye west

      3. ace hood has had several flop albums to his name, all averaging about 30k first week and likely not hitting 100k ever

      4. Ace Hood is only selling low because the streets doesn’t buy artists. They support him through sell out shows. Ace Hood is keeping it real.

      5. Of course he had to bring a fake watch. He would be stupid for taking his real one because 50 may snatch that watch.

    12. It doesnt matter that MMG fell off after only 3 weeks. They’re still the biggest label doing it in rap and the hottest in the streets. The streets dont buy albums and dont care about sales all they care about is real niggas spitting dope ass rhymes for the trunk and the club. You acne covered white faced geeks wouldnt know anything about the streets or moving coke so stop hating.

      Salute to Ross and the whole team for getting money and making the best music out!

      @BruthaDee

      1. Are you Maxx or did Maxx fuck your head up so badly hes got you advertising his Twitter dor free ro help him get more followers? LMBAO, we scramble brains on this side!

      2. I’m the real deal!

        Add me on twitter and buy my beats! One day I’m gonna get a beat placed on an MMG artists mixtape but until then I’m gonna salute my black brothers for all their hardwork and success! You white skinned geeks and freaks wouldn’t understand this street shit!

        @Bruthadee

      3. Gotta give Maxx credit he trolled the shit out of the kid with that initial post, LoL, dude went on a rant like Max took a dump in his cereal. Haha.

      4. I only take dumps in the ceareals of white pimple faced weirdos like you who don’t understand out culture! You weirdos don’t know anything about the streets !! I salute all my black brothers pooping in the white blog nerds cereal bowls every day!

        @BruthaDee

    13. Suprised miley sold so much. Shit all she had to do was sell her soul, pretend to be black, pose for nude pics with that creepy guy, and completely make a fool outta herself in front of the world!!! Hail satan.

    14. Drake’s 3rd week sales > Big Sean’s or Pusha T’s first week sales.

      The avg. of Drake’s 3 week sales total > Miley Cyrus’ first week sales total.

      Drake has already sold 900,000 in the U.S. alone.

      Drake is unstoppable and he is the greatest rapper ever! OVO FOREVER!

      1. As gay as Drake is, I admit he is popular right now but if you didn’t notice on that “Hip Hop Album Sales: The Week Ending 10/13/2013” Something on there was very important you didn’t notice. Nelly came out with an album and only sold (20,000) This was a guy that at one point sold more then everyone and made a song talking about how he was #1.

        Enjoy the party while it last cause Drake, like Nelly will one day only sell 20,000.

    15. “none of them are halfway gold yet dog”

      They are fullway gold. They are at platinum right now as we speak.

      1. Because shes the sexiest woman alive and she raps better than many other commercial arists like French Montana and Keef.

        That’s just a stupid question!

      2. White women have no place in rap music just like the white rappers exploiting our culture! And you white skinned blog geeks who know nothing about the streets!

        @BruthaDee

      3. If imitation wasn’t the greatest form of flattery I’d expend energy on parodies, but don’t let dude get under your skin and troll you it just shows how he effects your behavior, don’t be his puppet and allow him to know that his words effect you.

      4. I dont listen to anything white geek bloggers with acne say! You’re opinions dont count this isn’t your culture!!! Go listen to Macklemore and Barry Lewis you freakish white weirdo!

        @BruthaDee

      5. Dude get off his dick, abnormal dudes are easy to troll, try that shit with normal people and they will act like tou don’t exist, dudes got a freakin groupie that’s all.

      6. I’m not a groupie like you white freakish blog geeks counting down the days for G-Unit to come back so you can throw a wiggerish party with your pimple faced sun burned friends! Hip-hop doesn’t cater to you freak who know nothing about the streets!

        @BruthaDee

    16. Hi, I am a freakish wiggerized white-skinned weirdo who wears a Du-rag on my stringy haired head like my God Eminem used to do, I worship 50Cent because he is Eminems bestie and I can live all my ghetto fantasies vicariously through Eminem with Godfather Fiddy as my tour guide.

      I am virtually and completely obsessed with anyone who opposes my hero 50Cent so I sit in my wheelchair and lurk anonymously on Internet blogs promoting the Unit and speaking negatively about anyone who I feel is responsible for Fiddys rap-carrer being over.

      I have recessive genes and pink skin that burns in the sun, and suffer from penis envy and a zero birth rate, scientists say my Europeon anscesters mated with Neaderthals which explains the hair on my back and my hateful nature.?..however I’m obsessed with Black cultures.

      One day the almighty G-aunt will rise from the ashes and I will leave this wheelchair in my grandmothers basement and refuse to allow Internet strangers to brainwash me and make behave in an erratic fashion.

      @SmallWhiteBoyBitch

      1. LOL HE GETTING MAD NOWW

        check out this guys real twitter, @BruthaDee

        someone buy some of his ghetto beats so he can get a fuck dollars and go to a movie or something, he needs to get off his PC for a few hours

      2. These light skinned geeks are pathetic! Look how many words he typed up like he knows anything about our culture or the streets! 50 is finished. Ross is the new Biggie, like it or not! Meek is the realest nigga in rap by far! Not to mention Chief Keef fucks with MMG and he got the longest rap sheet ever for a 17 year old!

        BAWSEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

      3. this poster is seriously fucking deranged to write all that shit! Seek help immediately bro I’m worried about you!

      1. Thats not true homie. That number isn’t included in Nielsen Soundscan. So JAY really sold 2,025,000 with that deal. He stays winning!

    17. Would it be unfair to say Pusha T flopped?

      I know he’s outsold what most people do in their first week these days, but he’s had a serious buzz off the Fear Of God tape and he gets some shine from being signed to Kanye.

      I honestly expected him to do better.

      1. For a street related artist in this climate he did good numbers. Nowadays you need a hot single or heavy buzz on the POP side to do crazy numbers. Pround of my brother and aim enjoying the music no matter how much it sells.

      1. White skinned nerds like you wouldn’t understand this troll life. I salute all my fellow trolls and gays for being successful in these hard times. If you were black you would understand me and the pain and this struggle!

        @BruthaDee

    18. Salute PUSHA_T on the 75K for #MNINN …a blessing in this era of Emo/Euro/Homo/Weirdo rap. #4 #DefJam #AlbumOfTheYear

      @BruthaDee

      1. another white skinned geek making no sense. stop destoying our culture you weirdo freak. go pop some pimples and put some lotion on your sunburned skin! the streets know what time it is!!!

        @BruthaDee

      2. Man you are allowing him to troll you and letting him know his words affected you by repeating them and advertising his Tweeter. He is an obvious racist fuck and you are making him look like a master troll. Man just chill and ignore dude.

      3. what are you talking about geek? I don’t hide behind anything. My Name IS My NAME!!!! You white nerds wouldn’t understand! All that acne must be cutting off the flow to your brains!

        @BruthaDee

      4. I bet you white weirdos with acne would love if I killed myself. You racists love to see black men die rather than see us be successful and start our own brands and give other brothers opportunities! You blog geeks don’t understand anything about this culture, you’re a guest in our house and you’re making a mess!!!

        @BruthaDee

      1. the realest nigga alive!!!

        not to mention Producer, Promoter, Manager, D.J, & International Gentleman of Leisure, C.E.O of Nickelslick ENT/ A&R for TTP ENT.

      2. I asked that and are one of the realest men on this site.

        Word of advice, don’t play around with these weirdos, assassinate their commentary and give other niggas a true reason to come thru & comment with facts. And the only troll who ’bout that is Ja Rule Army, rest are pure fvckboys.

        1

      3. on the real hes some middle aged racist wannbe producer/manager who spends all day online defending rick ross, mmg and black people in general from the freakish white skinned loner blog geeks with no lives

    19. “key word, LAST TIME”

      Key word, BIG PICTURE. Pusha’s been around for so long he should be selling at least 175k first week, no excuses.

      1. What kind of brain damaged idiot thinks that being around longer means Pusha T is supposed to sell more? If that’s the case then why isn’t LL Cool J selling 175K?

        Pusha T did well enough, this year has been harsh with more listeners alondoning street rap for white rap.

    20. “but now you’re defending 2 chainz for going gold in the past”

      No, I’m pointing out how he’s still doing better than people think. Definitely better than Pusha T who after all the articles, and Kanye references, and Wayne beefs, sold 75k. That is shitacular.

      1. Bitch last month you were saying he’s done because it came out he has controlled shipping for this project. Now you’re pointing to sales and bigging him up? lol you are a live and breathing farce.

        You don’t even remember what YOU say, why would any of us read your comments with a shred of credibility?

        You look just like these old white Republicans, running off with the mouth saying any & everything, swearing the people will just believe you and support you, and we laughing at how much of a f*cknugget you really are.

        You the Ted Cruz of HHDX.

    21. “consider how big sean flopped with more promo, miley cyrys in his video, lil wayne on his first single…all while being affiliated with kanye west”

      Who do you think Kanye would rush to work with again, Big Sean who had a recent smash with him, or Pusha T, who despite all the hype just delivered a turd.

      1. True..I have to co-sign second Anon. I think Kanye mentors Big Sean but I get the impression he looks at Pusha as an equal sort of.

    22. “ace hood has had several flop albums to his name, all averaging about 30k first week and likely not hitting 100k ever”

      That’s irrevelant. He’s got a fanbase. Jumps on plenty of songs. Is getting paid nicely. It’s not his fault lazy motherfuckers like you don’t buy music.

      1. like ace hood… Pusha T also has a fanbase, a much larger one clearly cause he sold double first week what ace WOOD did

      2. Why is it my fault Ace Hood had underwhelming sales for not buying his album? Why would I buy an album from an artist I don’t enjoy or listen to? That makes no sense!

        I bet I’ve bought more albums in the last year than you!

      3. before I saw the receipt of $9041, I have faith …that…my friends brother was like actualy taking home money parttime at there labtop.. there neighbour had bean doing this 4 only nineteen months and resantly cleared the mortgage on their house and got a new Ford Focus. you can find out more
        http://www.Green48. M

      4. Look at how the PUSSY contradicts himself in mere minutes.

        When it’s Ace, he’s connected, getting money, it’s the fans fault. When it’s Pusha, Oh, he should have sold more merely off his affiliation and his own name.

        Look at that BITCH Quote-Man shake her ass in the room just get attention and be the one, choosing who’s right for HER according to pockets and crew.

        And you a grown ass man too, smh

    23. “hope they’re putting it in the back, their time is almost up as you can see they falling off the chart after only 3 weeks LOL”

      I wasn’t aware Vol. 3 was supposed to sell hundreds of thousands. It’s a throwaway album released before Mastermind.

    24. I was looking over this spreadsheet on sales and I was surprised at Cash Money’s dominance over the last 5-6 years but I couldn’t ignore MMGs consistency. MMG has had a Top 10 best selling HipHop album in 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013.

      Also form the data I couldn’t help but see that JaYz the overall most consistent artist in regards to sales which may explain why he’s breaking records that were previously held by Elvis and the Beatles, HipHop music is official.

    25. As an accountant for Game and Black Wall Street, I can confirm that each of his albums are really platinum. The last two albums he released RED and Jesus piece went gold within the first Month. and a couple months after they were certified platinum. However this was not published due to many of his sales were unaccounted for. Many other rappers do not actually go platinum as there sales have been overaccounted like 50 cent, Eminem and Kanye.

    26. I wish Danny Brown could have sold more so the label would crack him open a bigger budget but he always does shows so he could have released this as a free mixtape and still been cool.

    27. these album sales numbers make me wanna fuckin vomit >: P not to mention the fact that Hannah Montana and N’Sync’s lead man are even ON this list. Goddamned shame….

      Danny Brown and Pusha T’s albums are waaaaay better than what these numbers reflect, that’s for sure…

    28. The soundscan spreadsheets with sales data from 2005-2013, it’s got YMCMB, MMG, Good, Roc Nation, Aftermath…Def Jam is still the Mecca.

      1. Did your sister clear $100k with those followers? What is she selling to make someone like Jay use his credit card? Why she ain’t getting that news of her having so many followers and her vision spread around the internet with interviews?

        We’ll wait for you to try and explain how your sister’s Twitter is more important.

    31. “Pusha T also has a fanbase, a much larger one clearly cause he sold double first week what ace WOOD did”

      Um he’s been around longer.

      1. “What kind of brain damaged idiot thinks that being around longer means Pusha T is supposed to sell more? If that’s the case then why isn’t LL Cool J selling 175K?”

        ^ or Nelly

        So we agree Quote-Man’s brain is missing some screws, short a few marbles.

    32. “Why is it my fault Ace Hood had underwhelming sales for not buying his album?”

      Because in a different era, he’d be selling more. He’s just one of those artists who can’t get a fair shake no matter how much he improves every album.

      1. Dude, just accept the fact that Ace Hood is no gonna be a big artist at all. There’s nothing special about him; he sounds like every other Southern rapper out there.

      2. Cuz he had 3 bangers in the whole career? Stressin, Hustle Hard, Bugatti..and thats it. All his tracks sound the same, all his albums same, plus hes a house nigga with no street cred at all.

    33. LMFAO DRIZZY STILL SELLIN MORE IN HIS 3RD WEEK THAN THIS WEAK ASS WANNABE DRUG THUG. I GUESS RAPPING ABOUT REAL SHIT AND KEEPING IT HUMBLE SELLS 10 TIMES MORE THAN TELLING DRUGLORD FAIRY TALES. I LOVE TO SEE THE HATERS READ UP THE FACTS AND THEN HATE IN THE C SECTION LIKE LIL BITCH NIGGAS. MEN LIE WOMEN LIE, NUMBERS DON’T

      1. You seem ignorant.

        Pop music and Emo-Hop will always outsell street music just look at the charts, shit, you know bitches buy more albums than anybody and Drake got all the white bitches on his phallus.

        Pusha T raps about hustling coke but only a wannabee would use a term like Drug Lord in reference to his rhymes…are you Ann Coulter?

        Pusha has his little niche and his little sub genre rapping for the streets and fans who enjoy that type of music, if you don’t like it you can always listen to Action Bronson or Vinnie Pazz.

      2. Yessir, you are a retard, even my auntie who lives in a mud hut will tell you pop will outsell street rap. Solely because very few people can relate. Suburban kids listen to Drake in South Africa and generally middle class township folk. Basically people with buying power, as opposed to Pusha who caters for the HEADS(Not saying Heads don’t have loot, we are just a dying breed). Stop comparing apples with oranges!!

      3. Stop lying you’re a white skinned freak who knows nothing about these streets! Get off your blog you geek!

        @BruthaDee

    34. Heres a top5 that doesnt include pac,big,nas,em or jay (generic list)

      1.Big boi (Most consistent rapper alive)
      2.Rakim (Best flow)
      3.Scarface (Real OG, king of the south)
      4.Andre 3000 (kills every guest ft)
      5.Ice Cube (realest rapper alive)

    35. “Blackwallstreet is a defunct record label, has been for months. You just buried yourself with your own lies.”

      It’s renamed the firm.

      1. yeah and look at his track record. zero projects or artists released on Blackwall Street, Rolex Records or The Firm records.. some niggas just aint cut out to be bosses. Hench why he signed with Birdman

    36. starting to feel bad for the drake haters who are relentless on trying to bring him…IT AIN’T WORKING…HAHHAHHAHA

    37. “just accept the fact that Ace Hood is no gonna be a big artist at all”

      I never said he would be, but if you go over to Itunes and glance at some of the feedback this dude gets, you’d swear they were talking about Jay Z or Eminem. Ace has fans for whatever that’s worth.

    38. “Stressin, Hustle Hard, Bugatti”

      Tear Da Roof Off made some noise. You’d know that if you actually listened non biasely to the music instead of worrying about his street cred.

    39. “God Forgives I Don’t only sold 548k in a year???”

      Only lol Let’s ask Nas if he would have liked to sell 548k. Gold is gold.

      1. Gold is indeed Gold but a Hater has a different time of logic, or example:

        The album goes Gold = “Dude it only barely went Gold with an additional 50K copies”.

        The album goes Gold = “Dude it took an entire year to go Gold”

        The album goes Gold = “Dude the label and the artist bought all the copies for it to go Gold”

        ….it’s hilarious, and then when you go Gold they say you didn’t go platinum, and then when you go platinum they say you didn’t go platinum twice etc etc etc……it’s misery.

    40. “When it’s Ace, he’s connected, getting money, it’s the fans fault. When it’s Pusha, Oh, he should have sold more merely off his affiliation and his own name”

      I don’t have time to keep schoolin you like this, half a man. Obviously Ace Hood is connected or else he wouldn’t be putting out album after album, or jumping on every other DJ Khaled song. Pusha’s been around way longer, and is generally considered to be a very good MC, plus he’s in tight with a superstar in Kanye West. Despite all that he sells 75k 1st week?! Lol His street cred has been revoked.

    41. can we all collectively agree that drake is the most popular rapper out right now and he is the face of rap. Eminem and jay z are old and washed up and out of the new generation of rappers now rappers come close to the numbers hits and acconmplishments drake has aquired. Why is it hard for haters to admit that drake is the face of rap if not give me anothe rname and i will shoot it down and make you feel stupid. Please i bet the only name you hating cunts will bring up is eminem but hes old and he doesnt have many years left in the rap game.

      1. 1)Drake has the most number 1 hits at the age of 26
        2) No other artist from the new wave of rappers goes double platinum like drake does
        3) Drake is breaking a lot of records and he hasn’t even reached 30 yet
        4) Drake is the face of rap everyone listens to rap for drake
        5)Drake is the only 1 capable to go platinum first weak these days and drake will go down as the greatest of all time when its all said and done
        6)Drakes tours are the highest selling out of all rappers drake runs rap its a fact stop denying.

        Kendrick has 1 platinum album thats it drake runs this shit kendrick is absolute nothing compared to drake

      2. You copy-pasted this bullshit from older posts. Get some new trolling material. Besides, Drake ain’t running shit; he’s an R&B/pop artist.

      3. its not trolling when its facts and the truth unlike most of your shitty opinions from all the haters. Facts> numbers drake is the face of rap and it can be backed up and proven. Drake makes hiphop he doesnt make pop songs he does rnb aswell he is multi talented so haters need to get some new material.

      4. And you’re still wrong, dickriding bitch. You’re a troll making up bullshit. Drake doesn’t run shit and he makes R&B/pop music.

      5. “drake is the face of rap and it can be backed up and proven”

        No, it can’t. It’s nothing but an opinion and it can’t be backed up/proven.

    42. “whats the correlation between street cred and first week album sales?”

      Because you would think a man who keeps reminding everyone how great of a drug dealer he is and how popular he is among fans would have rung up more than 75k, especially after logging numerous years in the game. If Ace flops he just resurfaces a few years later with a new album. Big deal. If Pusha flops, The Clipse don’t reunite. It’s chain reaction of wackness, and you can quote me on that one.

    43. “Nas sold more than Ross before”

      That’s your only go to response. Were not talking about the past. Only the present. Nas flopped and it made you cry.

    44. “thinks that being around longer means Pusha T is supposed to sell more? If that’s the case then why isn’t LL Cool J selling 175K?, or Nelly”

      Pusha is considered a veteran, dummy. He’s already been where Ace is now trying to find a fanbase that will support his work. Whose talking about LL Fool J? He’s an actor now, and not even signed to Def Jam, and Nelly fell off hard years ago. Not sure what you’re sniffing, but whatever it is, seek the proper help cause embarassing yourself on here isn’t the cure.

    45. Miley Cyrus is a wigger, make sure ya’ll check out Grandreport.com, they will give you a virus, destroy your firewall, and rape your grandmother in the ass.

    46. Mi new rap:

      have u evur made luv 2 teh donut ov ur dreemz

      in a room ful of honey in teh bak of a krispy kreme

      HHHHRRRRRRRUUUUUHHHHHHH!!!

      Comment if you liked

      1. can i use that? thinking about going as Ross for halloween this year. been growing my beard out for 9 months now i just need to find a fat suit and a crackhead to be my sidekick

      2. That’s boring, grow your hair out for 9 months and dress up like Riff Raff with a Meth head as a sidekick.

    47. good for push wish he woulda sould that 83 and got that number three spot. but number four good. he will come with another one next year and do better than 2 chains did with his second outing. also the second string rappers sell about 100-150 k first week. top notch rappers sell over 175k and up. third string sell under 100-50k floppers are only ppl that expect sales. so the runner ups sell around 50k and under

    48. “Kanye’s cool with that”

      I just spoke with Kanye and he said he’s not cool with 75k. Pusha is getting dropped.
