Hip Hop Album Sales: The Week Ending 4/14/2013

    Justin Timberlake’s 20/20 Experience finally gave up #1, after three straight weeks at the pinnacle. Tyler, The Creator’s diss-muse Hayley Williams and her band Paramore, along with LL Cool J’s homie Brad Praisley assumed the #1 and #2 spots, respectively, as JT fell to #3.

    The key addition this week was Tyga. The 2008 DXnext alum’s third solo album, Hotel California scored a Top 10 debut, selling over 50,000 first-week units. Strangely, the Los Angeles, California native revealed in the last week that besides a signing bonus, he has not received any royalty checks from Cash Money/Young Money, despite a five-plus year tenure on the label. This is Tyga’s second Top 10 debut in the last 14 months. Last February, his Careless World: Rise Of The Last King debuted at #4, selling a similar 61,000 copies at first week.

    Tyga Checks Into Hotel California

    A year ago, Tyga had one of radio’s biggest hits in the DJ Mustard-produced “Rack City.” The Young Money artist was breaking mainstream success, and had a headlining tour. With Hotel California, there have not been hit singles. Despite this, Travie McCoy’s cousin, who has a Reebook endorsement deal of his own, still sold within 10,000 units of Careless World: Rise Of The Last King.

    Hotel California featured a last minute omission of the Tupac-featured, controversially-titled “Hit ‘Em Up,” but the album still boasts a who’s who of Hip Hop, including 2 Chainz, Game, Rick Ross and longtime label-boss Lil Wayne. Producers include Cool & Dre, SAP, and Mars of 1500 Or Nothin’.

    The Curtain Rises Again For Eminem’s Curtain Call

    With Nielsen reports now including catalog sales, Eminem’s 2005 greatest hits compilation Curtain Call (The Hits) is revealed as juggernaut at retail. The Interscope project famously includes the live version of “Stan” with Elton John from the 43rd Grammy Awards, as well as premiered rarities and then new-cuts “Shake That,” “Fack,” and “When I’m Gone.” Released in a period when Em’s own album-making future was in question, the compilation is slowly inching towards four-times-platinum, and out-selling all but one new Hip Hop release last week.

    1. Tyga, you still wondering why you get no money from Cash Money/Young Money ? Maybe you should try sell some records.

    2. lol, last week, all these dumb money trolls screaming that tyga was gonna sell a million, but he ends up selling less.than his previous album.. what you gotta say now?.. and eminem can still sell off his older material.. proves that em can make good music that lasts over time.. still waiting for kendrick to go plat, looks like he’s gonna reach it around summer..

    3. Tygas shit flopped, same with Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf. It’ll be interesting to see how much Big Sean will sell

    4. Damn! Emeniem Carin Call is still selling! Tyga struggling…y’all should checkout thegrandreport.com room, they usually have some good reads as well

    5. Tyga’s Album Is Underrated, That Shit Was HARD! Better Than His Last Album. Much Love! TYGA! COMPTON!

    6. Sales aint shit, all these motha fuckas selling aint shit period!!! Kendrick is ayt tho the rest are garbage str8t up, 50cent fooled the world by making people think that sales define if an artist is dope so fuck him and fuck u, die slow chocking on a dick u fucken gaylords

      2. So is tyga dope because his on the charts? is he better than pappose? fuck you anonymous gaylord, sales don’t min an artist is dope period and oh yea fuck you and your motha fucken hoe of a mother

    7. where does HHDX get these numbers from?

      HitsDailyDouble lists Tyga at 51,466 and Lil Wayne at 39,858

      why are Kendrick, Tyler and Macklemore’s numbers rounded DOWN to the nearest thousand and but Tyga and Wayne’s numbers get rounded UP by a few thousand????

    8. Tyler sold double what his first album did while Tyga sold less than his last album LOL what a fail!!!!!!!

    9. *i know ya kinda don’t care* BUT DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW MUCH RECORDS THAT ONE-HIT-WONDER CHICK KREAYSHAWN IS SELLING UP TIL THIS DAY???

      1. thats only cuz sony fucked her over and refused to distribute physical copys. she wuda sold more but they aint believe in her. i feel bad for her cuz if sony was jus gonna drop her album digitally she cuda jus did it her self and kept all the money without gettin pimped by the label and making 80% less then she wudve if she wudve stayed independent

    10. wow gotta give props to my main mane tyga. he beat out kendrick, eminem and tyler. now thats a debute. how many rappers can say they sold more than any of those rappers? oh yea, tyga mane!!! so proud of the YMCMB star. he worked hard and that track with pac went hard. although i still think tyga merked pac on his own track!!!! so fresh mane! ya bish!!

      1. hahahaha yea congrats to him his first week sales outsold eminems week sales for an album thats been out for 8 years and kendricks week sales for an album thats been out 6 months

      2. I’s takes it one week at a time. ya bish? and this week tyga is teh biggest rapper in the world. adn this is only week 1!!! wait til we get to week 2, 3, 4, 6, 15. etc! been around the world and i-i-i seen so many faces

      3. just like that last album right? hasnt even sold 350k in a year with Rack City and Faded as singles LOL

      4. Tyga outselling EMINEM? Haha that was an old comp album from 05. When Em drops an album that shit goes 900K. Talk to me when Tyga album goes gold

    11. i love love tyga’s balls in my mouth, Birdman fucks me hard, i want wayne to shit in my mouth uhmmmmmm those brown babies are definately delicious, i want to be fucked by the hole ymcmb, i love em homo’s never liked pussy

    12. For a valley kid TYGA did alright. I like his song “dope” he just gotta stop with that 187 shit he ain’t bout that life. Somebody gonna jojo Simmons that valley boy they call TYGA. And that #realtalk

    13. HC and IANAHB2 NUMBER 1 AND 2!!!!!!!! Wolf flopped hard and kendrick lamar wont even touch the platnium plaque.. YM stays on top!!!!!

      1. actually they are number 7 and number 8

        and how did tyler flop if he independently sold 40k more than Tyga first week????

    14. Notice the statement where the editor says strangly, tyga hasn’t received a royalty check. There’s nothing strange about it if your album is wack and doesn’t sell.

      1. Tyga needs to go independent. Even though he will still be wack, he would be much better off independent. He might be selling the same amount of copies but doesn’t have to split his share with Birdman, Slim, Wayne, and Mack Maine.

      1. game sold out gt all the dudes album sept jesus piece cos thats when i started 2 see game as bitch evan when i knew the dude was an ex stripper and had a butterfly on his cheek i supported him then he kept sucking waynes dick so now i dnt fuck wid his music.

      1. Everybody want to be me. Its ok that tyga didnt sell that many copies. He still one of the sexiest rappers alive next to wayne and drake!! #ymcmb!!!!

    15. Eminem showing everyone who is king, step down other rappers.

      If this was 10 years ago, K Dot would’ve sold stupid amounts, album is dopest rap album for a while.

      You all sit back when Em drops his new one this year, G.O.A.T.

    16. Funny that tyga flopped so hard. He shouldnt have never signed to that corny ass label in the 1st place. Im tellin niggas, young money is falling! Lil lame album sales aint really doin nothin either. While k dot bout to go PLATINUM! Real hip hop has returned to the mainstream!!!

      1. Not true at all. He could have easily sold at least 12 if he woulda stayed independent. The only thing signing to young money did for him was gave him exposure. BUT, real rap fans wont fuck with him now bcuz of him dumming down his lyrics and his fans he has now are gonna forget about him in due time.

        Kendrick is a perfect example of a artist staying independent and being successful then gets the major deal and stays true to his art by not compromising it to appeal to suburbia.

      2. real rap fans never fucked with him before though. he didnt dumb shit down he was always wack.

        Lime in the Coconut???? get the fuck outta here

      3. Nooooooo, im talkin way before that. before he signed with young money he had a mixtape that way actually dope where he was actually spittin.

      4. fuck tyga hes jus as bad as trinidad james and the rest of the shit on the radio and his career will likely end bad when some real west coast Gs run up on him for fukin wid pacs music and singing a classic C-murder verse and trying 2 pass it off as his own dude has no lyrical capability at all fukin wack club bullshit that puts a shame 2 west coast music.

    17. where the FUK r GAMES #s..jesus piece near damn classic…just wait till the video for Ali Bomaye drop…dont call it a comeback, he been here for YEARS….anyway…congrats to all artist posting #s..peace..

      1. you’ve been saying the same shit for like a month or two!

        funny because i saw pics from the video shoot back in like february! you would think someone struggling to sell a few thousand copies each week would put out a video ASAP

      2. I am a big Game fan so this is not hating when I say NO hip hop fan wants to listen to religious bullshit on an album.

        I’m yet to even listen to Jesus Piece and I have no plans to do so anytime soon.

    18. congrats to my nigga macklemore for getting indie money. weezy,game,asap and meek flopped real bad. t.i.p cant even sell gold lmao!!!!!!

      1. indie money has got to be great.

        and as far as your list, i wouldnt really call asap rocky a flop. It was his first major album and he has generated a good buzz in the game. TI wasnt a flop, disappointing maybe. I think going gold (half a mill in sales) is not really a flop, especially the way the business is today with bootlegging and online pirating.

      2. FYI T.I. trouble man has already shipped 500,000 copies so he’s basically gold.. Watch in a couple weeks when he actually SELLS that many.. Times r changing & he & Wayne are still selling high numbers… AND they sold more their 1st week than Macklemore sold his 1st week..

      3. lmao fuck out of here with T.I. doing good numbers, that cracker ass Macklemore already is gold and ahead T.I. and the dude is independent with 2 top 10 singles already

      4. Okay u just said a mouth full! He has 2 top 10 singles! Tip aint even have 1… Ball is his only single he put out! Macklemore is on POP stations!… and his album dropped b4 T.I. & Wayne.. If t.i. or Wayne had another “Whatever you like” or “How to love” out right now they would be WAY ahead of Macklemore..They even sold more their first week than him..He’s a new artist selling off a single.. T.i. & Wayne are Veterans still selling off of a reputation!

    19. SUFFERING FROM SUCCESS!!!!!

      COMING SOON!!!!!!!

      NO NEW FRIENDS!!!!!!!!

      WE THE BEST!!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!!!!!

    20. Another 26,000 for Macklemore/Lewis. Holy sh#t! That joint came out in October. Listened to the album a couple times, not sure what the big deal is, but congrats anyway.

      Em’s Curtain call selling that much now is a joke. A greatest hits album? Really? Kinda funny that it outsold Meek this week…lol. Macklemore and Em do have a certain x-factor in common.

      1. The only x-factor Macklemore has is his pop beats and sellout hooks… The GOAT will never be compared to him

      2. sellout hooks?

        would they still be sellout hooks if he only sold 40k albums and thrift shop didnt blow up?

      3. cuz they suck. that’s why. Em actually has talent. but if he was black he’d be lumped in the same category as other talented artists such as Redman, Luda or Busta Rhymes. High energy, animated, shock raps, BUT with talent. Macklemore been eatin’ off the same single for 7 months now. Could be a 1 hit wonder. There’s nothing impressive about that album at all.

      4. Actually, Macklemore has another hit song with “Can’t Hold Us” which peak at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. The Heist is actually a good album if you listen to it; it’s different from most of the crap that’s played today.

    21. Wayne with no hype, no radio singles, no marketing behind it and that shit still gon be gold. Carter V is goin multiplatinum. Broke asses keep hatin, Wayne still gettin caked while yall bitches stay thirsty.

      1. no singles? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE

        no worries, love me, rich as fuck, those arent singles????

        and no marketing? yeah right this nigga faked his own death.

      2. And you’ll still be sitting in your mama’s basement dickriding another man and his money while he doesn’t know you exist. Go see a psychiatrist and realize that Wayne is shit.

    22. Looks like Tyga caught a brick too! First Tyler,now Tyga.. Is Kendrick the only west coast nigga that sells records?

    23. Tyga never sold 54k he sold 51,466 Dont know why HHDX is bumping up Tyga and Waynes numbers by a few thousand but rounding everyone elses down

    24. Whatever happened to album sales? The Eminem Show is 10x platinum and not to mention non-hip hop like Thriller being 29x platinum in the US alone. Now you are doing amazing if your album hits platinum once, and pretty darn good if you go gold. Back in the day nobody would brag about having an album that was “only” gold.

      1. Tell that to Adele. That fat bitch sold 21 million albums and is diamond in the US. You put out a good product people will buy that shit.

      2. thats also true. most of these rappers put out better material on their free mixtapes and wonder why no one cops the album

      3. “Will:
        Tell that to Adele. That fat bitch sold 21 million albums and is diamond in the US. You put out a good product people will buy that shit.”

        Yeh, but you have to also consider adele’s audience. most of them are white fat bitches just like her. Her audience is much older than any rap artist fans and therefore have more money and aren’t as computer savy…

      4. “Tell that to Adele. That fat bitch sold 21 million albums and is diamond in the US. You put out a good product people will buy that shit.”…

        ..She sold 21 million albums?!?..WTF.. She’s so so, and I do not understand the hype surrounding her. Her voice is nothing special. I guess it’s like folks said she has an older audience and other fat white chicks buy her album..

    25. Timberlake sold 97k why did HHDX decide to leave him off all of a sudden after weeks of JT coverage and dick riding???

    26. How does a nicca like Tyga got over 5 million twitter followers but he only moves 51k first week????

    27. Macklemore and Kendrick are my favorite rappers, but Macklemore has been my favorite since I heard gift shop on the radio. They are real rappers and I’m glad they are selling the most. And I’m not racist, I think Macklemore and his partner Ray Lewis make a nice gay couple, hip-hop needs equality. What they do is their business. Macklemore knew he was gay since 3rd grade, so he’s been through a lot more than you guys hating.

      1. Eye Control doesn’t post on here anymore. That’s a fake who copies and pastes that shit every week.

    28. wtf r u serious tygas bullshit ass album outselling tip what the fuck is wrong wid u people do u motherfuckas own working ears or a fukin brain man this is some bullshit evan meek mill is better than fukin tyga and 2 chainz hip hop is fukin dead and u “fans” r the ones who killed it.

      1. albums always sell more first week, tips album been out for months. tygas album wont sell 450k like T.I. so he aint outsell him

      2. Wtf r u talkin about? T.i. sold triple what tyga did the 1st week.. Tyga is not even worth Tip’s right arm

    29. I’m about to break down that list from best to worst. Eminem would normally be #1 but since it’s a compilation from 8 years ago, he doesn’t count. I’m replacing Eminem with Dirt.

      1. Kendrick Lamar (obviously)
      2. Macklemore (besides that one hipster ass single, the rest of his is album real as fuck…Wing$/JimmyIovine)
      3. Tyler, The Creator (Wrote, produced, did everything all by himself and still his best album yet)
      4. A$AP Rocky (not quite Live Love Asap, but it’s still pretty good)
      5. T.I. (good album but kinda he’s falling off to me)
      6. Dirt (the shit grass grows from)
      7. Meek Mill (first song dope as shit but not feeling that high pitch yelling he calls rapping)
      8. Tyga (I see why this mainstream nigga can only push 50k. Garbage)
      9. 2 Chainz (why is this old ass no rapping nigga popular again?)
      10. Lil Wayne (the next nigga that tries to play this in my car talking about “yo listen to this new lil wayne”, i’m shooting in the face)

    30. “but still selling less than a 8 year old eminem compilation album LMFAO”

      At least he charted again. Can’t say the same for Nas.

      1. what do you mean charted again. read the text at the bottom of the article

        ” Each week, HipHopDX presents top albums in Hip Hop/related, and five notables.”

        they picked meek for the hell of it. they could have just as easily switched his name with chief keef, rick ross, nas, or papoose. hes at 180 out of 200

    31. Tyga is the Tony Yayo of Young Money. Once that label falls off he will fade into the background never to be heard of again.. Also, Lil Wayne must be the only rapper Tyga has ever heard because Tyga sounds like a lil wayne minime. If i’m looking for a lil wayne song then God knows he has put out enough music that I can find something I like. I don’t need this little nerd trying to be him. Do your own thing poser

      1. Never quite understood the hate Tony Yayo gets… yeah he’s nothing special but he’s not as bad as people say he us. Only reason he didn’t get promoted as much as the rest of G-Unit is ‘cuz he was jailed when 50 Cent was hot.

    32. “Wayne flopped. Either way you put it, Macklemore’s album sold more than Wayne and Tip’s”

      300,000 in 3 weeks isn’t a flop. You act like Macklemore’s album is triple platinum. Wow. He’s gold, just like Kendrick.

      1. its only bcuz they are white and whites are the driving force behind sales and they will support someone more who looks like them….no hate, just facts….

      2. again with that, so why did Machine Gun Kelly, Yelawolf and Kreayshawn all FLOP? they white too you know

      3. So what are you saying exactly? White people support and minorities (mainly black people are leaches and don’t support their own? Your lame ass is basically making an excuse for why minorities don’t support their own culture and are trying to make it seem like that’s a good thing and what the white people are doing is a bad thing by buying and supporting… SMFH! LMAO It’s lames like you that are the reason for Hip Hop loosing. Only white rappers are selling now because bum ass minorities are too broke or too cheep to support their own!

    33. Big Guwop is the realest rapper and heres why. 1) all other rappers rap about being gangster shooting and killing but they havent done it. 2) Eminem raps about killing he hasnt. 3)Jay z raps in open letter about sending shots he hasnt. 4)Nas raps about how he is a queens thug but he wasn’t. 5)Most of the rappers rap about stuff they havent done yet you all support them and say its real rap. 6)When rick ross does it you all claim he is fake and say its fake rap. This shows that hiphop fans are hypocritical and all these real hiphop fan wanna be’s are just some unjustified haters whose opinions are just as irrelevent as the swag fag rapper fans. BIG GUWOP KILLED A MAN HE WAS A DRUG DEALER BEFORE RAPPER HE HAS STREET CREDENTIALS HE IS THE ONLY RAPPER THAT RAPS ABOUT FACTS THERE FORE BIG GUWOP IS THE REALEST RAPPER IN THE RAP GAME AND THATS A FACT!.

      1. what does that have to do with this weeks sales? gucci aint moving no records

        does gucci mane even have 1 gold album?

      2. Ice cream face has no skills yet he is the realest rapper because he killed a person? (in self defense I might add). Using that logic, Syko Sam is the realest rapper alive because he actually killed his girlfriend, her entire family and named his album “I Kill People For Real”. Doesn’t get more “real” than that.

    34. KRS-One: “I told Wayne tohis face, he’s the dopest MC out”

      Eminem: “Wayne, to me, is defiinitely one of the greatest in the game”

      Jay-Z: “Wayne is one of the most talented rappers out there”

      So should I listen to KRS-One, Eminem, and Jay-Z, or should I listen to some broke loser on the Internet?

      I like how all of the people who hate Lil wayne come to and search for his videos to talk shit about them. Lil Wayne may not act like it but he is capable of making good music

      LONG LIVE WEEZY!

    35. You YMCMB haters are fucking idiots. Because I’m an accountant for Cash Money Records, I spend a lot of time with Birdman. He told me that in 96, Biggie was looking to get out of his contract with Bad Boy so he could sign with Cash Money. If Cash Money is right for Biggie, then it’s clearly the top record label. Unfortunately, Jay-Z and Diddy found out about Biggie’s upcoming departure and had him shot. Also, Birdman as always a role model for 2Pac. Most of you don’t know this, but the song Hit Em Up was originally supposed to be Split Em Up, a song where Pac brags about fucking Faith, leading to her breakup with BIG. But Birdman explained to Pac that real gangsta’s talking about killing people, so that’s how Hit Em Up took on such a violent tone.

      YMCMB for life. We got the game by the clit.

      1. be honest you tubby geek, how long did typing up all that horse shit actually take? an hour plus? how are you living where you have time like that to just waste away?

    39. “hes independent and his single is 5X platinum”

      That’s great, but his album still isn’t gold which means hip hop albums still rely on singles to make the money. And the part that’s funny is I’ve heard some of this guy’s music and I can’t believe people are eating it up.

    40. No way that goofy album full of Vanilla Ice outtakes has sold 580,000. You need to question things more, half a man.

      1. i know it hurts you knowing that 2 white boys sold more independently than your boy Ricky Rozay with all that promo

      2. Hmm, let’s think why Macklemore sold 580k albums…

        A 4X platinum single that went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, another single that reached the Top 10, a solid fanbase that went out and bought the album. So there you go.

        Plus, this dude sounds NOTHING like Vanilla Ice. You’re just saying that because he’s white, which is racist as hell.

    41. Cash Money Record’s total catalog sold 305,000 total albums, so don’t get caught up in individual top 50 album sales totals. The race never goes to the swift.

      1. anything he doesnt like is fake but if they said ross was platinum (which will never happen) it would be real

    42. “i know it hurts you knowing that 2 white boys sold more independently than your boy Ricky Rozay with all that promo”

      Call me when the ex alcoholic sells 5 million albums worldwide.

    43. eminem TALKS ABOUT KILLING HIMSELF and RAPING WOMEN and killing chopping up woman AND KIDS and BEING A PEDOPHILE, EMINEM is trash just like BEIBER IS TRASH but the white population refuse’s to let them go trying to make them more than what they are… All he does is goes to the studio makes songs and dissing people from his studio then cries about how people hate him because he is white…He is trash just like his label…And trust me im far from a “hater

    44. “id rather be an alcoholic than addicted to fried chicken and seafood”

      Fried chicken tastes better than a forty ounce for dinner.

      1. theres nothing wrong with a little chicken but moderation is the key with anything. officer ricky eats that shit all day everyday

    45. “How are these numbers fake?”

      His core demo probably consists of people who are either tweakers, fans of American History X, or chain smokers with mohawks. It just doesn’t make sense when you apply the hip hop formula of who should be successful. How can Game flop, but this dude succeed with corny songs that couldn’t be from anywhere else but the underground?

      1. he is appealing to people way beyond hip-hop thats why.

        girls i know who dont listen to any rap at all are posting his videos on facebook

        thats why hes been consistently selling like 25k records every week for months

      2. i guess you dont get out much cause this white boy blew the fuck up!! 247 million views on youtube for thrift shop.

    46. I thought the Weezy joint was a mixtape. If that is a store album, thats a BIG drop for him and his label. I think they might be wrong, I thought Carter 5 was gonna be his next studio album. Did I miss something? Is the Weezy album a studio album? Anybody? If so, WOW!!! Thats not too good.

    47. “he is appealing to people way beyond hip-hop thats why”

      But why? His songs don’t sound that good. Too each their own I guess.

      1. Why doesn’t Macklemore’s songs sound too good? Because he doesn’t do any gangster/trap music like your idol William? Hip-Hop is bigger than that?

      1. key word being USED TO BE

        do you know how many of your fav rappers are alcoholics or even worse?

        hell you dickride ross all day and his ride hand man Gunplay is a cocaine fiend

    48. “key word being USED TO BE”

      There is no such thing as “used to be”. He could relapse any second, but that’s his business. As for Gunplay… I don’t recall ever saying that guy was any good in the first place, so stick to the topic at hand which was me proving that Macklemore was a drunk. I did, so take your humble pie back to your room and enjoy.

      1. who cares if he was a drunk

        that doesnt change the fact that he has a 5X platinum single and sold more records independently with no promo than Rick Ross last album

    49. “and sold more records independently with no promo than Rick Ross last album”

      Once again, call me when he sells 5 million albums worldwide like Ross has. When he releases strings of albums that all go gold. That’s how you build longevity. What Mackelmore is doing right now is equivalent to Vanilla Ice and we all know what happened to Mr. Ice Ice Baby.

      1. Everything you say is BULLSHIT!! How is Macklemore’s success equal to Vanilla Ice? Because he’s white, you racist? Macklemore has two hit songs unlike Van Winkle and actually has talent.

      2. once again call me when ross has even 1 single go 2x plat let alone 5x, then let me know when he loses 150 pounds

        as far as 2012/2013 is concerned macklermore is killing ross

      3. Mr Ice Ice Baby is still around. He has his own contracting company flipping million dollar homes and his own television series on the DIY network.

        Funny thing is when it’s all said and done Vanilla Ice will be better remembered than Rick Ross

    50. “Mr Ice Ice Baby is still around. He has his own contracting company flipping million dollar homes and his own television series on the DIY network”

      He’s still considered a one hit wonder though.

    51. “then let me know when he loses 150 pounds”

      Why do you care so much about another man’s weight?

    52. “Because he doesn’t do any gangster/trap music like your idol William?”

      If Macklemore screamed, “Its Murda!” I might actually buy one of his singles.

    53. It’s mind-boggling the heart wants it, the mind rejects it
      Fuck the past, let’s put the present in perspective
      That’s my lady, she would never back-stab or cross me
      Stand butt-naked in the storm, sippin’ the frosty
      Force me to choose, I’mma follow my heart
      She was there from the beginning, but I tore ’em apart
      No more Delucas, straight Killa Bee on the swarm
      And when it’s time to get big, she put her game face on
