Future does close to 200K consistently by himself, Metro last project did nearly 200K first week. Dissing Drake obviously had an effect because their first week sales were 250K, Kendrick had an effect too as he has a big loyal fanbase and he doesn’t put out music frequently. But trying to act like Future, Metro or Kendrick need drake is hilarious. Future just dropped another crazy project and did FATDs better conceptually than Drake, damn that’s gotta hurt.

@@Dayday_1996 I tried to look up if any ovo artists have publicly complained. They haven’t, fans post tho so here’s 2 things I’ve seen that I completely agree with.. “I don't blame no one but the artist themselves, most of them be quiet as hell, never drop often. They seem like once they got the Drake effect they have no plan afterwards. At least DVSN make noise appropriately. Popcaan can't be stopped. Majid is cool. If Party ain't writing for other artists then it feels like he doing nothing else. Most of them don't do features for other artists etc. it's so much shit that these artist themselves aren't doing. Even with no label support you can still get shit moving. What's stopping you from physically getting in the booth and recording over a beat?” “A lot of OVO artists are producers and writers as well. Party is a big writer. Not everyone want to be drake. They have full control over their work based on drake, 40 and the artists own words. I hate this sweatshop/ drake stopping them narrative. Ovo artists stay booked and busy even if they are not as big as some people like them to be. Also, not one person complain about not getting paid, not being able to release music etc” Both of these statements were made 1 month ago

You said all that while ignoring the fact that this album STILL would not have done as well if Drake wasn't basically the theme. We would not STILL be talking about a regular Kdot verse. People would actually talk about the album, Big Sean would have some more shine as he deserves, and J Cole wouldn't have been put in the position he's in now.

Idk what’s the cost for this type of free coverage from all these media platforms for the album…but from my amateur perspective I’d say it’s almost *priceless* , as in the amount of money it would take for someone else to get people talking this much about your album can not be calculated in this current media space.

The idea that Drake pushed that album to 250k is hilarious. Look at Scorpion & CLB. Both released in the middle of Drake's issues with Pusha T & Kanye. 732k first week. 613k first week. Then go look at Her Loss & For All The Dogs. Both did 400k first week. Metro & Future were in that 200k range. 185k & 222K. Drake caused a 20% spike? Not the fact it's a project that people have been wanting for a while? But Drake gets an obvious 40% boost in sales in the middle of his beef and no one bats an eye. Y'all backwards af.

​@@mikko3That's her 1st Superbowl add in a decade. Wtf are you even talking about ? And she wasn't even promoting either. She dropped her 2013 self titled album at the end of 2013 when she headlined the Halftime in february. The hype had COMPLETLY died down in december. Are you slow ? It was also a surprise drop, no prior announcement, no singles, no interviews and randomly dropped on a friday of december with only 3 days of tracking and it crashed Itunes. She popularized surprise releases and 'visual albums'. The global music release date went from tuesday to friday bc of it. There's articles about it. Promotion where ?

[@dude5301]

Realistically if Kendrick never dissed, nobody would’ve given a fuck about his feature except his fan base, Type Shit would’ve easily been the #1 song off the album. And we talking streaming sales, everybody including Drake would be sick if the Hot 100 and Top 200 was still judged by Physical Sales. People seem to forget how even 250k wouldn’t be a first week number 1 album even though it wasn’t that long ago. Streaming ruined the charts.
