Hip Hop Album Sales: The Week Ending 8/4/2013

    Star Trak/Interscope Records singer Robin Thicke achieved his first #1 album in a decade-long career. After a decline in first-week sales and chart positioning on 2011’s Love After War, the Los Angeles, California native bounced back in a big way with Blurred Lines. Thicke edged out Five Finger Death Punch by a margin of over 50,000 units.

    Also entering the Top 5 was Tech N9ne with his 13th studio album, Something Else. This Strange Music effort entered at #4, matching 2011’s All 6’s & 7’s chart performance. Something Else out-sold the 11th LP by nearly 2,000 units, making it a career benchmark for the present-day king of independent Hip Hop.

    In Terms Of Sales, Tech N9ne Is Something Else

    Tech N9ne’s third studio LP in approximately two years marks a career best for the Kansas City, Missouri musical icon. Selling over 58,000 first-week units, the album chased Jay Z’s rankings with Magna Carta Holy Grail. On Tech’s 13th studio effort, the onetime 816 Boyz/The Regime standout worked with Game, Cee-Lo Green and Big K.R.I.T., among an extensive list of collaborators. The LP features single “So Dope,” which features Tech’s artist Wrekonize (of ¡Mayday!), in addition to Atlantic Records sensation Snow Tha Product and Twisted Insane.

    Largely produced by Tech’s go-to Seven, the album also includes musical contributions from Memphis, Tennessee producer Drumma Boy, and onetime Kurupt hit-maker Fred Wreck.

    There Are No Blurred Lines About Robin Thicke’s First #1 Album

    Robin Thicke’s sixth studio album (and fifth major label effort) Blurred Lines gave the longtime Hip Hop artist collaborator and  Star Trak Records artist his first #1. The LP features involvement from Thicke’s longtime label backer Pharrell Williams, as well as other Interscope Records star producers will.i.am and Timbaland.

    Both of the album’s singles have featured Hip Hop acts, with the title track “Blurred Lines” featuring T.I. and its producer Pharrell, and “Give It 2 U” featuring another Interscope-backed Cali kid in Kendrick Lamar. The first boasted a N.S.F.W. video that went viral, with topless appearances by models Emily Ratajkowski, Jessi M’Bengue, and Elle Evans.

      1. this is the first week since GKMC released in october that he hasnt been on here!

        i would guess he sold around 5k this week and should cross the million mark by the end of the month

    1. Kanye is going to gold next week Finally its such a good album I dissapointed but some ppls reaction to it tho, gold nowadays is still a success, although his Platinum album streak in north america looks like its over. unfourtunatley, whatever still the greatest right now and my Favorite all-time in IMO.

      1. ^^^^Yeah right Yeezus has more then double his sells and Kanye released the album without a lead single or video #Epic Fail

      2. 497k is not double 278k!! go back to math class yeezus would need to have sold 556k for your statment to be true

    2. HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Tech Nine bombed selling less than wayne. His label about to drop him and YMCMB stays winning.

      1. Wow, you’re retarded. Tech N9ne did not flop; he’s a independent artist. Him selling 58k is good. Also, he can’t get dropped from his label because he OWNS it. YMCMB are losing, not winning.

      2. An independent artist on his own label with no radio play and no marketing selling 58K the first is considered flopping? Go sit down and STFU, d*ckrider!

      3. Tech Nine doesn’t own the label, that’s lies from tech nine. Fontana owns it and can drop tech nine at any time. 58k copies is terrible and he has to pay a hefty distribution fee to fontana and his producers get paid as well. It sold less than Wayne, 2 Chainz, Rich Gang, and Ace Platinum.

      4. Wow, you’re stupid. Tech N9ne does own Strange Music. He can’t be dropped. 58k is great, especially since he’s an independent artist. He keeps all the money he makes. Something Else outsold Flop Gang, Ace Wood, Flop Montana, and Tyga Woods.

      5. Fontana is going to drop Tech Nine’s ass and he will have to find a new label. 58k copies is terrible for any artist. He has to pay all the expenses. Rich Gang, Ace Hood, French Montana and Tyga all sold more copies than he has.

      6. You’re making up more bullshit. Tech N9ne owns Strange Music, HE CAN’T BE DROPPED!! 58k is great for any independent artist. He’s in charge of everything and tours all year. He outsold Flop Gang (24k), Ace Wood (32k), Flop Montana (49k), and Tyga Woods (50k).

      7. Fontana can drop strange music. 58k is terrible Rich Gang went platinum 1st week, ace hood went gold, Montana is at 2x platinum, and tyga is at 2x platinum as well.

      8. He bombed? He debuted at number 4 with no radio play. He’s an independent artist. And in his first week he out sold what that Rich Gang shit has sold collectively. Is math really that hard for you?

      9. idk why you keep humoring this kid. Stop replying and he’ll leave his room and go outside for once

      10. tech 9 pays noone.. drake pays wayne and baby and prob mack maine..so 58k in sales = 150k for drake to make the same amount of money..

    3. Tech N9ne is the only one on this list that doesn’t have a song on the radio. He still sold 58k his first week, independent, can’t hate on that.

    4. damn tech n9ne is a industry beast. kids saying he flopped are retarded. own label, own distro, in house production. hes making STUPID money. tours all year. tech n9ne is definitely more caked up than most rappers getting spins. hes eclipsed the e-40 bay area do it yourself niggas and is probably in master p territory with no signs of slowing down. hes like 40 plus yrs old still doing it. im not familiar with a lot of his newer work but obviously someone is. good look for him.

      1. Tech Nine doesn’t own the label. Fontana owns it and they are about to drop him. He has to pay his guests and producers.

        Also, K Dot bombed hard as he did not even make it to this week’s charts.

      2. Tech N9ne does own Strange Music, dumbass. Look it up. He can’t be dropped. Also, Kendrick did not bomb, especially when his album outsold all the other albums and he’s still in the Billboard 200.

      3. I talked to Tech Nine during Tha Carter IV sessions and he said that he doesn’t own the label but Fontana does. Kendrick bombed hard.

      4. Nah Lil wayne bombed hard, and 9600 for 33k total means Rich Gang bombed too that’s not even 10% of Kendricks total sales and that’s his debut(on a major). So if bringing Kdot slow week makes you feel better about Young Money flopping then enjoy your delusions, but they are just like G unit/Murder Inc./No limit and all those other crews nobody admits to ever liking after they fall off even tho a few years back you were prolly riding hard for them doing what you do now. lmao!!!

      5. Even they curbed the grade Rich Gang did not go plat, sorry man. Matter of fact if that was true you would’ve been talking about by now, you would be trying to get your black belt in bukkake from them the way you be on they dicks.

      1. would love to see some proof of this claim, dark imagery isn’t any sort of valid proof, there’s plenty out there who use dark imagery for film, music, and media, but do they get the same treatment you’re throwing at Tech N9ne?

        Drop some facts if you’d like to make a valid point please

      1. Checkout i’m not a saint or EBAH and if you heard those songs before actually pay attention this time.

    5. macklemore is mainstream shit and radio friendly. thats why he “outsells” everybody.
      but that doesnt tell anything about quality. macklemore is just mediocre and average. nothing special and not hiphop with his toys’r’us instruments.

      even robin thickes album sounds better than macklemores…

      tech9 shows how decent hiphop must sound like.
      tech9 > all

      but it seems, bieber-pop has taken over and every1 is listening to drake/macklemore now.

      1. what toys r us instruments?

        macklemore and drake are bieber-pop?

        you are a hater let the man do his thing no one forcing you to listen

    6. Yeezus is going gold next week. Can’t believe he even did that much with a lackluster album with no lead single or video. This dude tried to sabotage himself and still did decent.

      1. hes still on the charts hes on hhdx charts which means nothing, i guarantee he sold around 5k this week

    7. Robin Thicke also had an album named “Something Else” which debuted at number 4. Now tech releases an album with the same name and same chart debut. I smell a conspiracy

    8. all of you saying tech n9ne doesnt own strange and fontana is gonna drop him are complete idiots. tech and travis oguin own strange 50/50. fontana is there distribution thats it. strange is here to stay selling way more than half the mainstream artist that dont get any of there album money. get your facts straight morons

    9. Haters saying kendrick won’t go plat. He’s right next to the finish line, release one more single and GKMC will pass 1 mill with ease.

      1. No artists celebrates “shipping platinum”. When he “sells” platinum we’ll hear about. There’s a difference.

      2. @Anonymous

        1 million sold, I already know he shipped a million. They are both different milestones in a rappers career.

      1. This chart is just a selection of the top 5 current and top 5 past released… Ill try and get the whole top 200 sales for this past week!

        Kendrick is still there!! Don’t misread this, its just the way HipHop DX gets a rise out of us, but don’t worry, imma provide the proper stats!

        hold up g!

    10. Great to see Tech N9ne pussing good numbers. People calling him satanic and shit clearly dont know about the english language – I dare anybody to post some “satanic”-versus he spit troughout these years? People just dont know how to relate.. And people who’s saying he’s only gonna push 100.000 – Haha! 100.000 sold albums independent is a whole lot better than a major artist pushing 500.000 or 2.000.000 for that sake…

      PS. I’m only wainting for Andre3000′ solo album!

      1. I co-sign the response post. We all can see Kanye pissed away this album and I’m one of the people that think its a 7/10 album. But really he obviously went out of the way to do some totally different type of material and promotion. Maybe a slight #Fail but based on the charts not totally

    11. Kanye first album that might not hit the platinum status Yeezus its time to head back to your roots buddy no more these I am God type of B.S

      1. He can think he’s God..Thats fine and all but pick some regular soul or dope beats and go in. Something tells me he will.

    12. As an accountant for YMCMB i can confirm that we are selling high numbers of recrods. Rich gang just went plat in its 2nd week! Ace hood about to go gold by next week. Weezy still killin em and is nearly plat also. Kendrick bombed so hard. his flop album couldnt even reach platinum and is now off the charts. tech nine flopped couldnt even crack 100k first week. gay-z cant even go plat look how many weeks its taking him, his album is bombing. Kanye flopped too that wack nigga cant even go gold

    13. Tech N9ne is caking right now. He is his own label, distribution, and merchandising, so its all money in, no money out. He’s not the greatest rapper, but his business decisions are paying big time, and thats always good to see.

      1. You do realize he splits the money with Gunn. They also have to tour 365 days a year to make those millions. I’m sure it’s a good life, but all these albums still come and go.

    14. As an accountant for young money I can confirm we actually sold zero copies of the rich gang album excluding the copies birdbitch himself bought.

    15. Well, hip hop is officially over guys. Macklemore is gonna hit platinum before Kendrick.

      Its a sad day to be a fan of the genre. RIP Hip Hop.

      1. macklemore makes hip-hop for people who don’t like hip-hop. the only reason those people listen to “hip-hop” is because of macklemore. RIP hip hop 🙁

    16. TECH FELL OFF AFTER ALL 6’S AND 7’S

      EVERYTHING AFTER HAS BEEN WHACK

      FUCK STRANGELAND AND FUCK THE TECHNICIANS

      I SNAPPED MY K.O.D DVD TOUR IN HALF AND THREW MMY AUTOGRAPH IN THE GARBAGE

      FUCK EM

      1. at least you gave your money to tech for that stuff before you broke it

        HAHA FUCKING STUPID BITCH I CAN USE CAPS TOO

      1. how are you gon laugh at kendrick when he’s almost plat? lil wayne and kanye are struggling to go gold in todays climate.you my friend are a hater, you find pleasure in other peoples failures.

    17. “Rich Gang came out last week though lol. Tech had a much better first week than Baby and Friends”

      Yet Baby has a hundred million in the bank while Tech has maybe 10.

    18. “Hes been platinum for like a month or 2 now”

      No he hasn’t. His label isn’t even acknowledging it.

      1. “This weekend is turning out to be a very exciting one for Kendrick Lamar. On Saturday evening, the rapper, who is set to perform at the BET Awards tonight (June 30), was presented with a plaque for the Platinum certification of his major label debut, good kid, m.A.A.d city.

        Following his performance at the BET Experience music festival in Los Angeles, Lamar attended an after party where Interscope Records and Top Dawg Entertainment unveiled the shiny memento.”

    19. the guys who says hes a devil worshiper, are massive pussies who cant deal with raw stuff.

      fucking emotional pussies, please listen to some bieber-pop and stop destroying hiphop.

      tech9 = king
      95% of comments complaining about devil worshipping of tech9 = fkn pussies, pls burn urselves

    20. Lol macklemore got the biggest hip hop album of the year!!!! Accept it haters!!! Macklemore sold more albums than ur favorite rappers combined!!!!

      Dumb niggas

    21. That’s great for Tech N9ne….Tech got that independent game on lock.Tours non-stop, selling out merchandise left and right, having his own distribution center. Smart artist and smart business man to boot.

      Congrats. Keep on grindin’ dude.

    22. “yet baby kisses boys on the lips and tech isnt a fruity ass homo fake blood”

      No, just a bad father with a fascination for the occult. I don’t care if Baby gives CPR to Ace Hood’s anus. He’s still more successful, and is doing all this in the mainstream instead of hiding out in the basements of America, selling T shirts to stoners, and cranking one forgettable album after another.

      1. what kind of loser calls a man hes never met a bad father? What makes you say that anyway? Tech has made numerous songs about his kids which shows they stay on his mind and he provides for them financially so if anything it would lead me to believe hes a great dad despite being on the road a lot.

        and why the fuck does it matter if he makes money in the mainstream or in the underground? your whole post is moronic.

    23. macklemore selling out.

      so poor for hiphop. such a faggot trying to sound hiphop but yet fails so hard.

      hiphop sux these days, if guys like macklemore can sell out.

    24. The last 3 days he’s been going HARD for his heroes, but THAT DAY, he was having this “marvelous life”. Coincidence? Nope, he was HIDING. LOL

      1. Swifty is ill and Kuniva was pretty good too. That being said comparing a group to one person is unfair, and Tech N9ne is a better artist than everyone in D12 minus Em.

      2. ^^

        tech n9ne is a wack artist who is good at brainwashing dumb people with his gimmicks.

        all of D12 was dope, except Bizarre, but he was still funny sometimes at least

      1. even though you don’t show any of it because you think posting “and i know a lot about hip hop” makes you an expert. Fuck outta here boy

      2. As an accountant for YMCMB I can confirm that the sales for Rich Gang were underaccounted. We had already received over 900k pre-orders for the album and they will be accounted for in next weeks sales. Kanye bombed cant even hit gold. Jay-Z bombed he got outsold by a pop singer! Kendrick lamar bombed cant even hit platinum his sales have declined each week.

        Wayne still outselling niggas. YMCMB have 4 albums on the billboard 200! that is why we run the industry. which other label has that many albums charting this high? and selling multi platinum records. ONLY YMCMB

    25. Does Wayne have the most most hip hop classics of all time?

      i will try to be resonable, but damn he really had one of the greatest runs in hip hop of all time

      unarguable classics:

      tha carter 2
      Tha carter 3
      like father like son
      no ceilings
      da drought 3
      dedication 2
      the suffix

      arguable classics:

      the dedication
      the prefix
      blow
      lilweezyana
      tha carter
      sq4

      now thats 13 projects that have stood the test of time, which is essential for a project to be considered a classic. i mean the only artist/groups that i can think of right now is atcq, the roots, and yeezus but wayne still has more classics.

      i challenge anyone to show me a hip hop artist with more classics then birdman jr.

      1. I wouldn’t count No Ceilings, Like Father, Like Son (because of Birdman) and Tha Carter III as classics, but The Suffix, Dedication 2, Da Drought 3 and The Dedication definitely are classics. Tha Carter III would’ve been a classic if it had contained the songs that were originally recorderd for Tha Carter III, but sadly they got leaked. For example: Killing Me, Pray to the Lord, When They Come For Me, Gossip, I’m Me, World Of Fantasy, Light Up My (La La La), Trouble, Help, Talk It Over, Something You Forgot…..

    28. TECH N9NE!
      Congrats.

      Good for Robin Thicke. About time he took the charts for albums and not the single. He’s probably hittin’ Paula Patton from the back while singin’ about his #1. He’s got it too good

    29. as and accountant for young money i can confirm i like drake ramming dick up my ass while sucking lil gayne’s dick. we like to change positions once in a while, and then we will usually go to the studio and i usually masturbate with the microphone while i finger drake and lil gayne at the same time.

    30. I hope all you strange music stans realise that 58k isn’t really that much.

      Tech N9ne isn’t really that popular, hate to break it to you.

      1. I don’t care if his not popular, because I only care about his great music. If he happens to sell almost 60k in the first week, that’s just a nice bonus.

      2. 58k is more than rich gang sold, more than ace hood sold 3 weeks later LMAO! just as much as french montana sold with a platinum radio single and the whole industry featured

        i think 58k is pretty damn good for an indie artist

      3. For a independent album that’s alot shithead. If it wasn’t for you fucks downloading albums instead of buying like good people he woulda sold double that.

    31. Yo I don’t normally comment, but are you Out of your F?!$ING Mind!!!!!!! Wayne has the most classics! First of all when the hell did we start counting mix tapes as classic albums. There’s a difference between dropping hot verses on random beats then making songs and a complete body of work (albums)… I have been a jay z fan since before Nas change the flow of rapping with the great hip hop classic iLmatic! But I don’t count all Jays albums classics. You need to understand classic albums does something big when they drop, they impact the game in big ways changing the way everybody does there craft, or pushing the hip hop genre in a greater place, or introducing a new sound and classic albums puts you in a space when your no longer competing against rappers but your competing against your own body of work. Wayne is still being compared to other rappers he’ s not classic I give him one classic album at most.

      1. i agree, wayne has zero classics.

        he put in a lot of work between 2005-2008 and recorded hundred and hundreds of verses, but none of them are memorable today. wayne has no quotable classic verses like other great rappers do.

        lots of people heard his mixtapes, but they are average as fuck. he never dropped a classic album either. carter II is nothing compared to other great albums from that time.

      1. you’re missin out on a lot of shit! LOL why you even on this website commenting on this article if you havent heard anything since stack bundles died, wasnt that like 6 years ago? LMAO

    32. A Few examples of classic albums, People over 27 please feel free to add
      Blueprint-jay z
      Reasonable Doubt-jay z
      Black Album -jay z
      American G- jay z
      illmatic- Nas
      It was written- Nas
      Still Matic- Nas (reemergence of the dominant Nas)
      Criminal Minded- krs1
      Paid in Full- Eric b Rakim
      Straight out of Compton -NWA
      AmeriKKKas Most Wanted -ice cube
      Eminem Show- eminem
      HarlemnWold Ma$e
      Biggie – both albums classic took me years to give it to L.A.D but I wanted to be sure I wasn’t giving the death Nod…
      All eyes on me Tupac and others I donte feel like typing…. But stop the loose use of the phrase “classic albums”

      1. classics
        WU-TANG enter the 36chambers
        mobb deep imfamous and hell on earth
        LL Cool j B.A.D
        Big L lifestyles of the poor and dangerous
        KGR road to da riches
        masta ace sittin on chrome
        these are classics , non of todays mainstream hip pop artists like lil weiner etc got RnB classics nevermind hip hop classics .

    33. As an accountant for YMCMB I can confirm that the sales for Rich Gang were underaccounted. We had already received over 900k pre-orders for the album and they will be accounted for in next weeks sales. Kanye bombed cant even hit gold. Jay-Z bombed he got outsold by a pop singer! Kendrick lamar bombed cant even hit platinum his sales have declined each week..

      Wayne still outselling niggas. YMCMB have 4 albums on the billboard 200! that is why we run the industry. which other label has that many albums charting this high? and selling multi platinum records. ONLY YMCMB

    34. As an accountant for young money, I can confirm that the sales for the rich gang album were actually overcounted. We have no money here. We’re broke bitches. Birdbitch is selling the company to Jay z and we’re all going to have to do gay porn.

      1. As an accountant for young money, I can confirm that the gay porn major movie, “Inside Wayne’s Ass”, is already in production. It will feature Drake licking out Tyga, and Wayne will fist himself until he orgasms like a pig. However, we are still deciding for the title. We already have 900k pre-orders for the DVD, however Nicki Minaj will not be featured, as the executive producers decided that she was a fake bitch nigga. Look out for Inside Wayne’s Ass, on DVD and Bluray on September 12.

    35. Games 1st tour for jesus piece gonna be in September and he sold 250k in the U.S alone…rappers can learn a thing or two about fan loyalty from GAME…consistently make great albums and the fans will consistently buy your albums, with or without promo…

      1. LMAO so he gonna start the tour like 8 or 9 months after the release??? everyone already forgot about that album

        250k is not a good look for a major label release from an artist who used to go plat

    36. “wayne has no quotable classic verses like other great rappers do”

      If you dig through all those songs your bound to find a few memorable verses.

      1. well quote one then.

        i can’t think of one classic Wayne verse tbh.

        other great rappers have classic verses that come to mind easily.

        Eminem – Lose Yourself
        Biggie – Juicy
        Andre 3000 – Ms. Jackson
        Jay-Z – 99 Problems
        etc.

    37. “58k is more than rich gang sold, more than ace hood sold 3 weeks later LMAO”

      Rich Gang doesn’t care about album sales. They will sit back and watch the singles blow up, thus making their money. Ace Hood has the worst fans since Ross.

    38. “You get the plaque for shipping 1,000,000 copies not selling”

      You shouldn’t get a plaque for platinum status when your album hasn’t physically sold 1 million.

      1. everyone else did so its too late to change the rules just cause you dont like kendrick going plat before officer ross

      2. You didn’t say that about Nicki Minaj when she got her platinum plaque while not even selling a million.

    39. “sure i bet they dont care about album sales. if that was the case why even release it???”

      Up until recently Wayne was platinum. Drake is platinum. Nicki’s still selling, but their bread and butter are singles. You do realize everyday people download songs that they pay for. If only one single goes 1-2x platinum they’ve won. That’s the game. I’m not saying they wouldn’t prefer every album to go gold or platinum, but in today’s market, that’s just not realistic.

      1. Tech N9ne is an INDEPENDENT artist you retarded motherfucker! How is 60 thousand records sold first week bad? That’s more than French Montana and MGK sold first week, and they’re both major label artists on Bad Boy! FOH, faggot!!

    40. “Which doesn’t mean anything, considering it’s not a hit at all”

      Digital downloads are hard to come by, so #11 isn’t bad.

    41. when drake drops his album and goes platinum in a week everyone else will become irrelevent drake owns this rap game

      1. you mean he owns the face that is plastered on every teenage girl ages 12-18 year old bedroom wall….he sells records, doesnt mean hes a good musician

    42. Damn where’s U-God? I guess he must have flopped pretty hard! Thats what you get for releasing your album on a sucker ass record label that rips off the fans and doesn’t respond the emails asking where the products we paid for are!

    43. “well quote one then”

      i’m just tryna stack more funds.
      baby i’m a god i should walk around with nuns.
      but i walk around with guns.
      use your head or you’ll walk around with none.

    44. “LMAO are those supposed to be classic bars”

      Those verses are better than anything Vanilla Ice Jr, Kenwack Lamar and J. Snore will ever have.

    45. “this is exactly why no one will ever take you seriously Quoteman!”

      Call me when Macklemore has been on hundreds of songs like Wayne has that get fan pages devoted to listing their favorite verses. Call me back when Macklemore or Kendrick sell a mill in a week, or sell 10 million albums. You’re fussin and fightin for nothing. Your rap super heroes are here today gone tomorrow.

    46. Damn, where’s Kendrick? First time I haven’t seen his numbers on here…Macklemore better not go Plat before Kendrick, but most likely will. HOW IN THE FUCK DOES MAC MILLER PUT UP NUMBERS LIKE THIS?? FOR CHRIST SAKES!

      1. kendrick is still on the charts hhdx only picks 5 new releases and 5 older ones each week. this the first week since his album came out in october he hasnt been on here!

    47. “call me back when ross sells a million (of one album) in 10 years”

      Kendrick won’t even see 5 years in the game lol

    48. “hammer and vanilla ice sold 10 million albums too dawg. it doesnt make them good or classic”

      It doesn’t make them bad either. Do you think you could have done what either one of those guys did, and did it well enough to get endorsements and a movie? Of course not.

    49. “kendrick been rappin since 2003 thats already 10 years”

      I wasn’t talking about his goofy indie flop, or his mixtapes. His major debut was in 2012. He won’t be around five years from now.

      1. even if he did fall off. at least he will always be able to say he went play in 2013 when niggas was barely going gold. ross will never be able to say that

    50. “You’re full of hate and are just making up bullshit”

      His major label debut came out in 2012. We all know he’ll have another one coming eventually, but to assume he’s going to have this dynasty like career now. That’s for fools and females to believe.

    51. “at least he will always be able to say he went play in 2013 when niggas was barely going gold”

      So now his career trumps those others? Get the fuck outta here. He barely went platinum. Eminem’s 1st album with the Dre co-sign went 3x platinum.

    52. “defending two shit artists”

      I’m defending the fact for their time, they were successful. That’s something your trans gender ass can’t dispute even if it’s killing you inside.

      1. i dont get you man…. arent kendrick and macklemore also successful for their time? yet you wanna dispute that and say they wont be hear 5 years from now…. just like the two rappers you’re now defending. you cant have it both ways

    53. “arent kendrick and macklemore also successful for their time?”

      I’ve stated many times how I just don’t like their music so whatever success they have to me doesn’t mean that much, more so Macklemore. He’s making these horrible songs that for some unknown reason a demographic of people are going ape shit over.

      1. Now you’re being a hater. You don’t have to like them, but at least respect them.

        “He’s making these horrible songs that for some unknown reason a demographic of people are going ape shit over.”

        His songs are not horrible.

    54. “Anything’s possible”

      That first album usually gives you a good idea of what’s in store for that artist. Some blow up even bigger like Jay or Eminem, but it must be hard for Drake to keep crafting these songs and he’s 2x platinum. Kendrick has talent, but I don’t see him with enough to build a great career when it’s all said and done.

      1. “but I don’t see him with enough to build a great career when it’s all said and done.”

        Then you have shitty predictions.

    55. Funny to seee these haters of macklemore. LISTEN little kiddies, if millions of people by your music. Than if you cant respect thatm you a haterrrrrrrr!
