And then Eminem came in and made Drake’s numbers look puny.
What does that have to do with him bleaching his butthole, I just wanna sex Drizzy so hard, he’s sooo hot right now
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC1YuWwgKP4
Beyonce is selling so many more records now that she’s white, great choice
Drake very much enjoys a glass of merlot & a warm butthole
Uhhh, Beyonce’s total figures are wrong….by a lot.

KANYE GOAT
Beats, rapping, singing. everything
SUCK A DICK IF YA THINK OTHERWISE
man I don’t like macklemore but that album is like 2 years old still selling well, I wouldn’t put out another album either lol
Drake is running rap as I type this. He cares about his fans while K Dot ignores his fans and Chris Brown beats his fans.
That’s a lie.

You gonna suck a dick if we disagree? Nice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKLTjaJzEkU
That’s hot, I like the one where you can see Drakes face more towards the cumshot though, this one just kinda shows it all over his face & ear
didnt beyonce sell 800K in sales the first 48 hours? How is it 600K total now?
yeah even in the article it says
“This week, Beyonce sold 130,490 copies of the self-titled endeavor. Overall, this brings the album’s total to 1,431,882 units sold. “
BINO!!
Beyonce’s album sales is bogus to me. I don’t buy that bullshit at all. Who the fuck is still buying Macklemore’s gay ass album? The gay people I believe. The US is turning mad gay like Europe. Thank God I am an African. It hurts to watch fudgepackers go around in LA and not get jumped
so you dont believe anything?
It hurts that fudgepackers in LA aren’t jumping you?
“Macklemore’s gay ass album? The gay people I believe. The US is turning mad gay like Europe. Thank God I am an African.”
Thank god for aids
hahahaha that last comment was class
good to see childish gambino doing almost the same as 2 chainz with less time of the cd on the shelves… at least the lil nigga have some concept developing his albums, seems to me that he really has passion for the craft he puts on it
Good to see Beyonce already passing her husband he payed people to get to his numbers.
Good to see Beyonce passing her husband. He paid people to get his numbers.
Look at these morons with their conspiracy theories. LOL get out of the house every now and then.
They both paid people to get the numbers. Drake’s fans buyed his album without drake paying them off.
You’re wrong about everything again, dentalbitch.
She is selling more records now because she went white, she can say she was the first black person to change her skin to white & it has driven sales through the roof, she’s so much prettier now that she is a white person.
Oh, Hi dental, what are you wearing today pal?
STOP DENTALDAMBOY, YOU HAVE VIOLATED TROLL CODE 11-453, TROLLING LIKE A LITTLE BITCH. YOU HAVE BEEN FLAGGED FOR SPAM, AND HHDX MODERATORS ARE TRACKING YOUR I.P. ADDRESS.
only child molestors listen to r. kelly.
Only homosexuals listen to Drake
I agree, i don’t listen to Drake.
I want to suck Drakes weiner so bad, my butthole just puckers up when I hear him sing.
Whites are running away with this shit, just look Bayonce, Eminem, Drake, Justin Timberlake. Damn they are taking over
Drake is running the game. The others aren’t running shit.
Drake ain’t running shit, especially when the others are outselling him.
No, all the whites are running it, just leaving black folk in the dust. I hear ya though, Drake is definitely the hottest white artist but you can’t deny that Beyonce has taken over since she made the switch to white.
White record-label executives are definitely running the game.
No, I mean the white artists Beyonce, drake, Eminem, JT
Don’t forget Disney. #1 album on the charts! OJ representin’ D-Town aka Disney. Whaddup tho? Realest gangsters in the streets right now. Look out for that Mickey Mouse mixtape hitting the streets 1/25/14. Peace.
WHITE DUDE FROM DETROIT – Its the body bag game bitch…I’m supplying coffins.
All this says is everyone is better then kanye’s dumb ass….
Macklamore
Kendrick
Eminem
Beyonce
Justin Timberlake
Drake.
LOL, almost all white except Kendrick
Kendrick=black, Beyonce=black, Drake= mixed
Seems to me the list is pretty even
Shut up and suck this dick faggot
You probably like a dick up your ass too. Nigga you couldn’t even sell your own clothes off your back if you wanted too fag.
Beyonce = bleached as fuck, therefore she don’t count as black
Drake = mixed, therefore he don’t count as black cause he’s MIXED
No, drake has always been white & jewish & Beyonce just made the switch to white & her sales relect it, great choice.
Too many faggots in the comments section.
Beyonce lost out to a fucking Disney movie soundtrack. Go figure.
what do u mean lost? she been out for like a month
“In its fourth week of availability, Beyonce has dropped to #2, giving way to Frozen’s original soundtrack to take over the #1 spot.”
I think that’s what he means.:-)
The Disney soundtrack has been out longer than her album, it’s just her numbers were elevated and now that they dropped Disney goes back to top.
As if Greedy JayZ isn’t satisfied with taking bribes from Barney’s, now he’s out here buying all his wife’s CDs because ain’t nobody checking for her irrelevant ass.
See, kids? This is why you should stay at school, so you don’t end up like this retard.
Wacth who the fuck you calling a retard, old bitch ass nigga. I knock niggas like you flat on their backs, ya heard? I can state my opinion. It’s a free country.
Ooh, an E-thug. How intimidating.
STFU you punk a** e gangsta! Soft a** bi*ch
@hiccup, the internet is not a country.
til I looked at the receipt of $9124, I be certain that…my… friend was like actually bringing home money in their spare time on their computer.. there friends cousin started doing this for only sixteen months and just now cleard the dept on their appartment and bought a great new Alfa Romeo. read this article… http://www.Fb39.Com
Good, hope they lock up all of these dumb motherfuckers who incriminate themselves. You dumb fucks deserve the shit you sew
DAMN, GINA!!!
B.O.B. has yet put out a album that’s worth my money.
“Drake ain’t running shit, especially when the others are outselling him”
The only person outselling him in hip hop is Eminem.
And Jay Z.
Drake’s not even a hip-hop artist.
You blind like Stevie? Drake is outselling Jay right now. Get that suspect mill from Samsung out your brain. Take Care also outsold WTT.
Nope.
When Drake sells 50 million and still sells platinum 15+ years later like Jay does, then talk.
dont like drake much but if he hits number one imma to buy his next new album
It’s so weird how some bullshit like justin timberlake outsells kendrick lamar more than 2-fold. Who the fuck is buying this shit? I dont get it
wait til his next album, Kendrick Lamar wasn’t huge when he release it and only got 240k first week, but 170k 3rd week. He will put up Eminem numbers (recent) for his next.
Considering that JT is a pop artist and Kendrick’s a hip-hop artist, pop music usually always sells more than hip-hop music.
Looks like Angel Haze’s album, Dirty gold didn’t do too well it’s first week in stores. Unless it wasn’t reported just like E-40 wasn’t a couple weeks back.
Yal Drake suckers should start hittin up the Yahoo hip hop/rap question page.

Man, You just listed 78 rappers, I’m sure there are more than 100 rappers better than Drake.
you forgot
Joseph “Run” Simmons
Darryl “D.M.C.” McDaniels
MC Ren
Proof
Mano Brown (from Racionais Mc’s)
Arabian Prince
Chuck D
Flavor Flav
Outlawz members,
etc…
i stopped reading when i got to B. o. B.
MC Ren is better than Drake? lol Good one.
It’s true.
“He will put up Eminem numbers (recent) for his next”
That’s the liquor talking.
Nope. You’re just hating.
“When Drake sells 50 million and still sells platinum 15+ years later like Jay does, then talk.”
Two different time periods. It’s mathematically impossible for Drake to do those numbers. Nobody in the new era of hip hop will do those numbers. Be serious.
Do you even realize you’re contradicting yourself again?
hilarious right? depending on who he’s defending he will switch sides
No contradictions here. In your eyes, if someone sells 10-15 million, that’s shit. For a lot of rappers, that would make one hell of a career. Not many people sell like Pac, Eminem, Jay, etc. You hate Drake already, so even if he could sell 50 million, your hating asses would then say why can’t he sell 100 million lol It’s like a merry go round of bullshit with you, so move on.
i dont even know what this dudes talkin bout n e more
Quotebitch contradicts himself again. Nothing you say is true at all, just a bunch of bullshit while riding Drake’s jock.
I’m not a drake fan or a fan of most of these new cats, but on the album issue u r right, not many peolple can sell as eminem, pac and Jay, with that said; peolple shouldn’t hate drake bcoz he’s sold less albums or any other artist for that matter, look @ someone like pitbull, his album is doing well but it’s a shitty ass hip hop album, then you have someone like sam sneed whom most of newer hip hop fans wont probably know; he’s dope but never sold much, so album sales has nothing to do with talent & everything to do with popularity, it’s just a good thing that eminem, pac and Jay; even with their high album sales, they’re also dope.
How the fuck is old ass MC Ren better than Drake? At least Cube went on to solo fame, then Hollywood. Dre went on to be Dre. What did Ren do besides father children at a Latrell Sprewell type rate? I’m waiting. Kick some knowledge.
He dropped music, not as successful as Cube or Dre, but dope music. Better than anything weak ass shit Aubrey released.
Please stick to what matters to music, Drake along with most of these newbees can’t simply fuck with most of the old cats, MC Ren being old & fathering chiildren has nothing to do with how ill he was when he was on the mic, judge these catz according to wat they did in their active years, Drake is active now but still he’s overall delivery can’t fuck with Rens.
“He dropped music”
His last album was in 09. Before that he was on a 11 year hiatus lol Aubrey can’t relate to laziness.
Aubrey also can’t relate to manliness
He obviously relates to laziness in his rhymes/writing, repeating the song title over and over again.
Music critics have yet to point out this supposed laziness.
heres an excerpt from a music critics review of NWTS
“Drake routinely curses like a child who is testing out bad words and trying to see what he can get away with. And even worse than his LAZY padding of bars with such words when hes in need of syllables, is the acute flagrancy in his overuse of one word in particular.”
and another one
“Hes mostly abandoned that style, but theres still something stilted and rudimentary about his new and improved flow, and he still pulls LAZY stunts like rhyming vent more with temp-or.”
“This is the point where the album goes downhill; best friend and longtime producer Noah 40 Shebibs rhythms become increasingly repetitive and Drakes flow becomes lazy and the songs begin to blend together.”
I’m very surprised by how many reviewers of Drake’s new album used the world lazy!
“When you start your album by rhyming “record” with “record” a bunch of times, that’s fine. When you do it in a voice that communicates that you’re verbally tap dancing across that beat and you’re totally not, well it gets annoying real quick. Or consider, “Own It,” a LAZY Screwston fascimile that even A$AP Rocky would’ve rejected, in which Drake brays, “Niggas talk more than bitches these days,” and then adds, “Let that shit sink in,” as if that’s any kind of original or profound or even just plain entertaining sentiment.”
When the hook to your songs repeats the same one or two phrases like Started From The Bottom, for example, that’s laziness.
