This week, no new Rap albums broke into the Top 20 on the Billboard Top 200 charts. Still, there were a few notable releases that cracked the Top 200.
This week saw an addition from Dom Kennedy’s Get Home Safely in the Top 30, for instance. The project was the only new Rap album included in this week’s Top 50. Young Dro also had a new addition to the charts with High Times. Dro’s release entered at #57. The project sold more than 6,000 copies. Game came in at #88 with OKE’s deluxe edition, which sold more than 4,000 copies its first week.
Other rappers held on to slots within the Top 20 this week. Drake remained in the Top 5 on the charts, selling more than 57,000 copies of Nothing Was The Same in its fourth week out. Pusha T held on to a Top 15 slot with My Name Is My Name, a project that sold close to 20,000 copies in its second week.
Drake’s Nothing Was The Same Stays In The Top 5
Drake’s Nothing Was The Same landed at #4 on the charts this week, selling more than 57,000 units. The project has been a consistent mainstay in the Top 5 on the charts since it was released on September 24. Drake’s music gained additional fanfare last week due to a new interview featuring the Toronto rapper. During Drake’s interview on Q with Jian Ghomeshi, the rapper spoke about why he feels his personality is sometimes misunderstood because of the content in his music. “I’m so sick of people saying that I’m lonely and emotional, and associating me with this longing for a woman,” Drake said. “I hate that. It bothers me so much…’cause I do make music that makes you feel something, but I’m actually not that guy in real life. I’m a happy person.” Drake is currently on his “Would You Like a Tour?” tour with Future and Miguel.
Pusha T’s My Name Is My Name Remains In Top 15
Pusha T’s My Name Is My Name debuted in last week’s charts at #4, selling more than 75,000 copies in its first week. This week, Pusha T sold approximately 19,000 units, landing him at #14. Pusha T’s release has allowed many fans to wonder about a potential Clipse album being released. According to Pusha T, Kanye West and Pharrell Williams have also expressed interest in a new album from the Virginia-based duo that also includes No Malice. “[Kanye West and Pharrell] both are like, ‘Yo, we just need to do the whole Clipse album. Both of us. And that’s it.’” Pusha T recently said in an interview with Juan Epstein. For now, Pusha remains in the Top 14 as a solo artist continuing to establish his Name on the charts.
Dom Kennedy’s Get Home Safely Arrives In Top 30
Dom Kennedy’s Get Home Safely debuted this week at #29, selling more than 10,000 units. Kennedy’s Get Home Safely features Krondon and Skeme, but otherwise, Kennedy mans the album on his own. During a September interview with HipHopDX, Kennedy spoke about how proud he is of the album he’s delivered. “They can expect the highest quality music they’ve definitely heard from me, and they’ve probably heard from a lot of genres, not just Hip Hop. I’m introducing the album to encourage and reach a lot of people that probably never knew who Dom Kennedy was. But it’s in a great way. Without changing what I do or without compromising the integrity of Rap music or anything, I feel like people will be proud to say that this is their favorite Rap album of the moment. I feel like it’s been few and far between that people are able to say that in our generation. For people interested in Hip Hop and Rap music, I feel like they’ll be proud to say that.”

Drizzy outsold your favorite rapper.
(Eminem is not your favorite rapper, get real)
This comment is old and is proven to be BS. Eminem will still outsell that Jew.
Yes, Drizzy out sells my favorite rapper, yes he does. What does that have to do with anything?
vanilla ice outsold my fav rappers too.. whats your point!
Lady Gaga & Bieber also out sell my favorite rappers, hell probably all of them combined. Do you have anything else to add?
You are just wasting time hating.
OVOXO, your GF at my next show.

I didn’t think you had anything else to add.

#DrizzyPlatinum
You can keep the gf’s honey, I likes me some cock & I loves me some Drake.
Dang, the homie Drop sitting on low numbers. Y’all should checkout thegrandreport, they have good hip hop and viral videos on there
Khaled gonna last 2 – 3 weeks then completely fall off the charts like Maybach Music Group’s Self Made 3
Khaled will last long enough to recoup his budget and make some money, his success will torture you for the rest of your miserable little life.
nope
Lloyd Banks and the Unit will be on this chart next year!
no ones talking about G-Unit or Lloyd Banks @BruthaDee
SAD STORY:
Thug: Gimme yur wallet Drake
Drake: Its yoursss, its yoursss, its yourss, thats fur sure

So true, Love Drake, he’s too cute, I just wanna dance the night away listening to him, he’s soo hot.
my favorite rapper is Eminem nowwhat…lol
^ he’ll still go wood.
No, he won’t. He’ll go multi-platinum again.
Why isn’t Fiddy on the charts 🙁
he already crushed the charts years ago now he doing other things
if u can sell 5000 copies of a free mixtape on iTunes u definitely got a fanbase why did game destroy his rep by signing to YMCMB
no one else wanted his bipolar ass. they seen how he is.
True Game fans don’t care about that corny rep nonsense, they only care about his music.
Game signed with cash money cause he wants to do drake numbers and stay relevant. Dont think thats gonna happen
Calm down Drake fans!
How can you sit here and brag about YMCMBs Drake outselling everyone’s “favorite rapper”?
We all know that Vanilla Ice has a Diamond album and Rakims solo albums never even went platinum, we also know that the Insane Clown Possee have more platinum albums than The Roots.
Should true HipHop fans be cheering that Canadians and white homosexual advocates are selling more than heterosexual African American artists who pioneered the culture?
Some of us who are familiar with the sales demographics based on age, race, income etc., don’t put too much emphasis into sales because sales has never really represented us anyway, it represents the people who purchased 10 million copies of Vanilla Ice & Eminem records.
New revenue streams have been opened to allow artists more servings on their table so record sales are no longer a must for an artist to eat and while aim happy for Drakes success I’m wary that labels will be looking for more Drakes now instead of Yo Gottis.
graftedgenese i see you
I guess you think McDonalds is the best restaurant too because it sells more meals than 5 star restaurant, using your logic that’s what it’s all about right? Last time I checked people listen to music not sales receipts, if sales and heavy promo is your criteria for choosing what you listen to then go ahead and join the herd.
Some people listen to music because it’s the “cool” music of the moment and everyone else is listening to it, some listen dor their own enjoyment, some listen to live a ghetto fantasy.
Sales means everything to some people and nothing to other people.
Drake fans bragging about his sales and laughing at other artists who don’t sell as much is just silly because we all know who buys the majority of Drake records.
Who cares about sales? What matters is that albums like Take Care and NWTS are critically acclaimed. And that Drake wins song writer of the year awards.
Drake is talented. Hate all you damn well want.
Wrong, dickrider.
It’s his Bosses turn to shine
Drake and K. Dot are proof that quality hip-hop music can still sell.
I know you didn’t just say Drake and quality hip-hop in the same sentence, r&b maybe but not no damn hip-hop
Drake has dropped some quality records–that includes his 3 mixtapes, Take Care and NWTS.
Drake is just as hip-hop as Kool G. Rap, KRS-One and ATCQ. Nobody complained about Q-Tip or Biz Markie when they sang. Drake’s a better rapper and vocalist than Tip or Biz. Biz was horrible at both and single-handedly ruined songs (e.g., Kool G Rap’s – Erase Racism).
Hate all you want GrandPa, Drake is hip-hop! Cosign Drake Til Infinty.
cosign drake til infinity and ovo. but drizzy is already better than those old fools.
All three of you idiotic dickriders are wrong. Drake ain’t shit.
Biz never claimed to be a singer and off key singing was his schtick after beatboxing. On the other hand your boy Drake claims to be a singer for real, if he only knew how much better rapper than a singer he actually is.
I’ll take Pimp C, Devin the Dude, Andre 3000, Cee Lo, Chamillionaire, Big KRIT and hell even Kid Cudi rapping and singing over Drake crying ass.
He sucks now
My boy Dom did all right.
yeah not too bad, triple c’s numbers but i didnt even know it was coming out
Tony Yayo is that you again?
Triple C’s was on the new Self Made album, one of them got a solo deal at Def Jam.
Gunplay never getting released.
and none of that changes the fact that they sold 12k first week after starting a beef with 50 for publicity
Godfather 50 will release his highly anticipated 5th album this year and you fucktards will be ButtHurt
Ross troll trolling again
Pusha T alb the best on here
NWTS was ok, just don’t:
1. Play it in a men’s locker room
2. Play in a car with more than one dude
3. Workout to it (can’t get sultry on the bench).
4. Play it in a barbershop.
5. Blast it out the whip driving alone (have your bitch with you).
The sales obsession was a sickness I wish had never started but ironically the guy who made it popular won’t be able to ever release another album because his sales will be less than the rappers he mocked when he was able to sell.
new flash! 50 wasnt the first or the last to boast about sales!
but most of the artists 50 cent mocked about sales couldnt sell more than him, cam, ja, etc… all finished, he could easily sell more than them any day of the year
fer real. and what funny is rapperrs like to bash the fans n supporters for comparing numbers and albums and stuff but rappers be the first to eb like im bette rthan him. my verse is better. ill sell more .. but when a fan does it its oh fuck him. lol
50 was the first to boast about sales? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HOW OLD ARE YOU? omg save the children
before 50 it was LL what the fuck you think “momma said knock you out” was about boxing? ahah in the early 90s all the west coast artist talked about was going platinum plus and they did when you hate so much you become a dick rider and dont even know it to many people with 50 dicks in there mouths.
Umm..Did you forget the line “only dudes moving units Em, pimp juice and us”?
Who fell off worse Nelly or Ja Rule?
50Cent wasn’t the first artist to brag about sales but he was the first rapper to make it a focal point of his career and brainwash his fans to do the same.
JayZ can feel free to brag about his sales prowess because he has longevity in this game with a consistent catalog of platinum that spans almost two decades (1996-2013).
LL can brag if he so chooses he has six platinum albums, 5 Gold albums and has a career that’s lasted from 1985 to 2013 dropping albums.
These microwave rappers ride a hype machine and drop 4 albums and then wanna brag like they did something.
Dumbass.
his worst selling shit still sold more than a lot of these new rappers sell in 3 or 4 albums total
I think I will base what music I listen to from now on according to what sells the most, that sounds like a grand idear.
How is Drake not platinum yet? shit its been like a month!
he’ll still go plat while your favorite rapper won’t.
I dont have a fav rapper and I dont measure success by albums sold
My favorite rappers already went platinum.
Pusha T’s album wont even go tin! LOL!
but at the end of the day he made more money in a week than you would in a year so….
Did Danny Brown drop from top 20 to not even in the top 200? Must be some kind of record.
Nah, he’s still on the charts DX just chooses what they want to show each week. They don’t show all the Hip-Hop albums on the whole Top 200
Nipsey and Dom both made $100,000 racks without a major or compromising.Good shit!!
Dom aint make no 100k
Dom generated $100,000 yes, then you subtract expenses.
I don’t know what his budget was but the expenses with recording, mixing/mastering pressing/packaging and distribution are where an Indie artist money goes.
Dom makes his real money doing shows and touring.
Minus budget still in the neighborhood close to $100,000. But real money is made off shows
Win cool prizes and/or make some serious holiday cash now!!!!

got dam drake is killing 58k last week? hes def passing jayz n wacklemore
i dont see drake going doube plat
drake pass jay-z? haha thats not gonna happen retail maybe but total no way he was mili in before he dropped
10K is not bad for an indie rapper with no major label promotion, radio singles or buzz.
hahaha 10k sucks for anybody signed. Indie or Major. 10K is good for niggas with only a distribution deal. Dom has no buzz because he can’t make good records. His online presence is TRASH. I barely see his ass on worldstar
10k is good with no buzz or promo. If he had a heavy buzz, online prescence or was on Wssh then 10k would be horrible don’t agree ask French, MMG, YMCMB about their last albums.
….
G unit sold more back in 2005! And they had awesome clothing for us.
BruthaDee why do you bring up G-Unit everytime someone takes a shot at MMG?
Checkout my site for hot beats. All non exclusives only $1.50. http://ajayigb.wix.com/ajayigb
Fuck yo site nigga
drake going platinum next week drake runs this rap shit. Highest selling hiphop album of 2013 kendrick is nothing compared to drake drake can outsell kendrick with out even trying. Drake is the king of this rap shit. Numbers and stats dont lie fuck your opinions you internet nerd virgins with no hopes of pussies. Why is it so hard for you little cunts to accept the fact that drake is the face of rap now. Why do you eminem dickriders not see that eminem is old and washed up drake is 26 and doing huge numbers
And you’re still wrong again, Drake groupie.
“Highest selling hiphop album of 2013”
Will be The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
he can run what he want
but he is not a raper so he doesn’t run the rap game
maybe the gay game or somethin
all you drake haters have for arguements is that wack rappers have sold big before. Well they have never been as consistent as drake rappers like vanilla ice and soulja boy may have sold big for their first album. AFter that they fell off while drake been on top of the rap game since 2008 and dominating the charts. Drake is the god of rap deal with it.
Wrong again, Drake groupie.
I salute to his success, he’s a multi-talented artist but I prefer HipHop from African American artists where im drom and artists in general who don’t cater a large portion of their music to females.
LL Cool J was extremely succesful with a career that catered to the females but he had balance in his bag because he could drop hardcore songs and battle other rappers when challenged.
Drake is the most popular rap-singer of this era and I’m sure he will have equal success to similar artists like Nelly, Ja Rule, & 50Cent who all used the rap-singing formula to dominate for a while.
Who would have ever imagined that the face of HipHop would be a Canadian Bi-racial Jew who was a former TV star.
BruthaDee, no one cares about your ignorant, white-hating, black supremacist bullshit. How about listening to good music, regardless of race?
Psychoboy, are you some sicko attention whore who slithers around behind everybody’s posts begging for a stranger to acknowledge you and typing the word “BruthaDee”? Are you a homosexual 13 year old with a mental problem?
Brothadeez
The nut job that keeps following you and flirting is actually a girl, she’s a groupie girl that used to follow me all the time to, we just ignore her and let her spam her anus jokes.
LOL at the white dude catching feelings because the black dude said he prefers rap from other Black dudes! Drake fans are overly sensitive fag boys.
@BruthaDee keeps posting under all these random ass names to support himself!!
gotta say that shits kind of sad for a 35+ year old man
DRAKE DID IT AGAIN THIS NIGGA THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE.
Nope.
Jay Z, Nas, and Eminem are still alive.
Drizzy ain’t a rapper dude.
Drake has the formula.
Bitches buy albums, especially the white ones who worship Beiber and watch Twilight.
Drake has a the little teeny-bopper chicks in love with his sensitive-player shtick and his sing-songy tunes.
The only time most of us dudes listen to Drake is if we got a bitch in the car or at the crib otherwise his music is just to soft. His fans shouldn’t be crowning him after a couple albums, let’s see if he lasts as long as his Boss.
“most of us dudes”
i love when morons try to speak for dudes everywhere or “the streets” or their whole city
im a guy thats NOT gay and i listen to him all the time…cause hes more talented than everybody but kanye west and joe budden
Nice joke.
I’m speaking for my circle, not freaks like you.
DJ Khaled is about to sell at least 300k copies this week.
No he will do about 40K first week.
Khaled makes so much off the singles untill the album is just gravy.
19-23k
how much can he really make off the singles if he has to give the artists featured a cut and each song has 2-7 featured rappers and singers! not to mention the producers!
Get laid and you’ll realize that the album will sell 350k opening week.
if i get laid will that automatically make rich gang platinum instead of 41k total?
before I looked at the draft 4 $4776, I didnt believe that my mom in-law was trully erning money part time from there pretty old laptop.. there mums best friend started doing this 4 only 21 months and just took care of the dept on there cottage and bought themselves a Land Rover Range Rover. special info—–>
http://gg.gg/lq0r
how yall dont have the sales of Don trip and starlito’s new album, Stepbrothers 2??
it didnt sell enough to make it to billboard
mmlp would do between 800-1 mil 1st week
400-600k tops
dro album is good
Where is all of the pusha t Stan’s?? Flopasaurace Rex !!
pusha released one of the best albums this year
hahahahahaha. flopasaurus rex tho, nigga! outrageous.
KHALED IS PROJECTED TO DO 17-23 THOU LOL N HE SAID HE DA BEST
wow lower than i predicted! i thought he could sell 35k at least!!!
That’s ranges from nelly, to bitch gang territory.
His lowest 1st week sales came with victory with 28k. This one may not even do 20k. May not make it into the top 10.
“50Cent wasn’t the first artist to brag about sales but he was the first rapper to make it a focal point of his career and brainwash his fans to do the same.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
just no
So what if Suffering from Success sells less than 20k? Album sales declined significantly this year and Khaled is still rocking the charts with his singles.
album sales declined significantly this year? LOLOL
jay, macklemore, kendrick and drake all going plat! you would think he could atleast move 60k first week with all those features and publicity stunts he pulled!
Jay bought most of the albums after selling a million to samsung, K Dot had Dr Dre buying most of his albums, Macklemore also bought his own albums. Drake, however, is the bright spot where his fanbase bought his album (they are true hiphop fans.) Suffering form Success didn’t get a lot of promotion.
LOLOLOL this dude said “Macklemore also bought his own album”
why do these faggot stans always have to have an excuse for these numbers….okay i guess Mackelmore purchased over a Mil right????
cant the numbers be the numbers, a flop is a flop, platinum is platinum,
dont ever fucking get that twisted, and also dont let these dumb ass nigggerrrr stans gossip about irrelevant shit….yall are just making the rest of us YAWN
NEXT
“k dot had dr dre buying most of his albums”…do you read the shit you type?
good kid is boring now very low replay value
somebody still buying it. only album ive ever seen stay on hhdx weekly sales charts for a whole year
Wrong, Anonymous 1.
Khaled pushed his shit back by weeks so he wouldnt have to come out same day as Drake and it looks like Drakes gonna sell more in his 5th week than Khaled does first week!
OK, I apologize for my stupid comments I made in HHDX. I listened to some kool g rap, big l, guru and canibus stuff and I realize that Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne are shit. I was acting so bad here I apologize to every hip hop head. I realize sales doesnt mean shit. Goddamn I am really ashamed on my past comments.
I was talking about this the other day. There are “rappers” that know how to make music (catchy songs) they aren’t the greatest lyrically, but they get some nice production and a melodic hook, and they sell a few albums. But then you have RAPPERS, MCs, true verbal artists that can murder the mic, but for one reason or another never truly hit commercially because they can’t they never develop the knack of macing MUSIC. That’s why Outkast (to me) is the greatest. They both can murder the mic, and they know how to put a song together
LOL ^ i dont think he understood the “trolling”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
WAIT you are telling me that 5000 people purchesed “Game’s free mixtape” “OKC”??????
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
FREE MIXTAPE KEYWORD FREE
and 901 people bought nipsey hussles free mixtape of throwaway tracks for $100 so it could be worse!!!
real talk homie, salute to the people buying though if they fans like that
It’s free, but you have the option to pay for it and get a bonus track.
Nelly fell off

eminem will flop. mark my words
encore- trash album, was drugged the fuck up
relapse- stupid ass annoying accents all through the album
recovery- pop trash, yelling through the album
mmlp2 will be no different
No, he won’t. He’ll succeed and outsell everyone. And quit copy-pasting old bullshit.
Eminem’s last album sold 4 million, he ain’t gonna flop. Hating ass niggas don’t even think about what they said.
Game’s numbers keep dropping.
It’s a mixtape you dumbfuck!
5,000 copies sold aint bad when you put it out for free…
“my fav rapper andre 3000 went 11x plat”
That was with Outkast.
you really are a loser quoteman!
Katy Perry (Capitol) 275-300k
Fifth Harmony (Syco/Epic) 30-35k
AFI (Republic) 25-30k
DJ Khaled (Cash Money/Republic) 19-23k
Tori Kelly (Capitol) 14-17k
“jay, macklemore, kendrick and drake all going plat! you would think he could at least move 60k first week with all those features and publicity stunts he pulled!”
Jay always goes platinum, so that doesn’t even count. Drake was a given, while Macklemore was a fluke. I won’t even mention the other guy simply because his numbers aren’t anything special. Khaled is 7 albums deep, and is doing it without a platinum album. That’s fucking impressive. Kendrick had Dre as his co-sign and still hasn’t even pushed 1.1 mill. That’s fucking pathetic.
Wrong again.
You are pathetic.
There’s nothing impressive about bombing with every album.
he said 1,065,000 isnt anything special in 2013 LOL but doing 23k first week and never going gold once over 7 albums in impressive
Your pathetic hate for Kendrick never fails to entertain me. LOL
Drake can sell 3 million for all I care. It’s all about the quality of the album. He can sell a shitload; that doesn’t always mean it’s a great album.
I don’t know why people think that money equals skill and techniques. Lil Wayne can say “Pussy” like a thousand times on his track, and he’ll probably make like $20mil off of it. Does that mean he’s the best rapper out there? No. Just because these rappers have a lot of money doesn’t mean they are the best out there.
Quality will always be more important that quantity, IMO
It doesn’t have to be great. It just has to do numbers which it is.
And that means nothing.
Smh I hate to see Dro go out like that, 6k 1st week?. TI benched him too long and the game passed Dro by. The album and title str8 wack. I love Dro but I dl that shit and erased em all one by one. Smh!
i thought it was a mixtape!
The height of the sales obsession and the sickness was in 2007 when 50Cent decided to battle Kanye in a sales battle to see who could sell more records.
Not who could make the best album or win the most awards but who could sell the most albums.
50Cent even claimed he would retire if he lost the battle and after a while he finally did but the damage was already done.
To me, that album sale battle went either way. Kanye outsold 50 in the U.S, but 50 outsold Kanye across the whole world. But they only counted in the U.S. for some odd reason. But you’re right, he did kinda retire because he’s doing other shit to make his money, but do doubt that some of his new tracks, SOME, shows that he hasn’t lost his touch
50 is responsible for people putting beats over lyrics in Hip Hop.
no he isnt…. yall are just too young to remember anything before 2003 LOLOL
TRUE STORY:
Kanye: Am a God
God: Kanye pleez stahp
Comment If You Liked.
50 can’t even get a release date for his album because he know no one is going to buy his shit right now & his run is over & he don’t want to face that reality when his next album flop
Street King Immortal is becoming the new Detox he started making that shit in 2010 & it’s not coming out this year & it might not come out next year. Jay-Z drop a album out of nowhere that he recorded in a few weeks just because he can in 2013 10 years after he retired from this shit to let the young niccas eat now he is back snatching crumbs right from under the bakers thumb.
Didn’t this nicca 50 say that he was gonna drop an album every time someone from Jay-Z label drop a album?
50 went up against Kanye & lost J Cole went up against Kanye & Won
I dare 50 to try to go toe to toe with J Cole he diss retarded kids just imagine what he would do to 50 Cent
& I’m out
I was just thinking the same shit the other day watching a 50 interview. He used to talk so much shit about how much he sells and others dont, now look at him
j cole dissed retarded kids then wrote a heartfelt apology as soon as he got called out on it
just imagine how he would croch down into a ball and beg 50 not to hurt him!!
but cole put 50 on his last album so its all love!!!
It’s all 50’s fault. He did all this to himself.
J. Cole went up against Kanye and won??? LMAO are you shitting me an experimental album that he made in 2 weeks with no lead single of video. Something tells me Kanye was only competing with himself

“Will DJ Khaled’s Suffering From Success succeed on the charts next week? Stay tuned to HipHopDX.”
and the answer is NOO!!!!!!!!!!! 18-23k first week LOL
“he said 1,065,000 isnt anything special in 2013 LOL but doing 23k first week and never going gold once over 7 albums in impressive”
I never said 23k was impressive. Those were your words. With the amount of hype Kendrick had, and the label power behind him, he should have sold more.
that hype is what kept his album selling for the whole fucking year dumbass!
how can you say he should have sold more when he got the 2nd highest selling rap album from 2012??? hes not fucking jay-z or eminem you just a hater!!
“With the amount of hype Kendrick had, and the label power behind him, he should have sold more.”
I could say the same thing about about your boy Ricky and ‘God Forgive I Don’t’! that shit still aint sold 600k over a full year later!
When was the last time y’all saw a mixtape chart on the billboard…Ha!

shit even gucci man got on here for selling a free mixtape

most of those are wrong stop taking the time to post that…
Drake is $… this album is already close to Lamars on numbers… that’s crazy, that’s crazy, that’s crazy!
its not that crazy when you think about it. this is drakes 3rd album and he basically got the same fans as justin bieber and lady gaga
kendrick is not really on his level of fame or recognition but he’ll eat him alive when it comes to rapping
“how can you say he should have sold more when he got the 2nd highest selling rap album from 2012???”
Now it’s 2013 and Drake is closing in on his numbers in record time. Kendrick took a nose dive and despite your wild fantasies about him being an OG, even Macklemore outsold him. Game over.
keep hating on kendrick’s sales bitch nigga even though its more than ricky will ever sell
“kendrick is not really on his level of fame or recognition but he’ll eat him alive when it comes to rapping”
Oh wow. Rapping lol Sounds like another cypher. Go hard Kenwack. Show the world how gangsta you pretend to be. When the shots were being fired in Compton he was inside the house hiding under the couch lol At least when beef arose, Drake would go outside and fire back.
Is this all a joke?
“Drake would go outside and fire back.”
You can’t be serious. Drake is a bitch ass coward. He’d be hiding letting his bodyguard do all of the dirty work.
Quote-bitch, you don’t know what hip-hop is about.
“I could say the same thing about about your boy Ricky and ‘God Forgive I Don’t’! that shit still aint sold 600k over a full year later!”
Ross’s sales have never been explosive. Plus Kendrick doesn’t receive half as much hate as Ross does everytime an album or compilation drops.
because hes not a fraud with no substance
“It’s a mixtape”
The version on Itunes doesn’t have any DJ lead in’s, therefore it’s an album. You’ve just been schooled. Take it like a man and go about the rest of your day in peace.
remember when you said Khaled is worth 35 million LOLOL, more than Rick Ross, even though he’s never been on forbes
“5,000 copies sold aint bad when you put it out for free”
How much did it cost to put together?
