How it Started How it’s Going
(2016) (2020)
@242_bas@kammyxkammy@Tae_gusto@realdripking_zw Lmao “invalid question” it’s a legitimate question it’s been my whole point 😂😂
A coward afraid to answer the question and a hypocrite. You’re doing the same strawman thing. I never said solely streaming. You a stan though gotta stick to your ways I get it lol
@242_bas@kammyxkammy@Tae_gusto@realdripking_zw No. Business model is different. From 96-2015 (20 years) only 46 rap songs went number in the country. From 2016 to now 60 have went number 1. How is it not easier now?
@242_bas@kammyxkammy@Tae_gusto@realdripking_zw I’m asking you I didn’t say you said anything. Calm down. I’m asking you, why didn’t Drake have a #1 until streaming. Was it because the songs weren’t good enough? Again I’m asking you. Please don’t yell at me saying I’m sending a strawman lol
@242_bas@kammyxkammy@Tae_gusto@realdripking_zw Jay Z never had a solo number 1 in his era either. Terrible argument no disrespect. The company who makes these plaques is in my city. Look them up on IG they’re called jewelboxplatinum. They legit said business tripled when streaming came about
Baby Keem talks about video games being an escape for him and how he got into football (soccer):
“When I was like 12, I started playing online games, and I found FIFA….I watched Mesut Özil play. That’s how I became an Arsenal fan. He’s so good that he has a play style, which is like…you have to be double great. In music terms, that's like the greatest rapper making a [great] rock album. This guy is like, ‘I’m going to be unselfish. I’m not going to be known as this [one thing], but I can do all of these things.’ He makes the game look beautiful. He exemplifies what the sport is to me.”

@242_bas@kammyxkammy@Tae_gusto@realdripking_zw I’m not following. But you’re saying Drake had no song worthy of being a number 1 hit pre 2016? Find Your Love? Best I Ever Had? Headlines? I guess we can never prove it but I hear the songs that went number 1 now and they weren’t nearly as popular as those. Agree to disagree lol
@242_bas@kammyxkammy@Tae_gusto@realdripking_zw You’re bringing arguments no one said. This isn’t about one needing the other. The best selling rap artist over the last 15 years did not have a number 1 song until streaming came out. If pre streaming was easier like you said why did that happen?
@242_bas@kammyxkammy@Tae_gusto@realdripking_zw Not arguing anything. I thought that’s what you meant by replays are filtered out. Doesn’t matter that you think as kind as those words are. The mere fact that I have to accept is that it’s way easier now. That’s a fact
@242_bas@kammyxkammy@Tae_gusto@realdripking_zw If streaming was around during Drake’s era from So Far Gone to IYRTITL he would’ve been broke the record. Best I Ever Had didn’t go #1 but Toosie Slide did? And you think streaming is a harder era? God bless brother. Salute
@242_bas@kammyxkammy@Tae_gusto@realdripking_zw Nah you don’t have to go to the extreme. Anyone still getting plaques still doing good work it’s just easier now. There’s no need to get upset man. I didn’t say anything to get you this angry.
Drake a dope artist right? We agree there. Never had a solo #1 till streaming
@242_bas@kammyxkammy@Tae_gusto@realdripking_zw It’s simply easier to go platinum and gold now. You’re an anonymous account on the internet. I have gold and platinum plaques, you aren’t going to explain this to me. Salute 🫡
@242_bas@kammyxkammy@Tae_gusto@realdripking_zw What’s your point? I’m not understanding. Because a bunch of people might not even listen to the whole album. A large collective of people can listen to parts of the the album and the artist could still get a sale in the streaming era
@kammyxkammy@Tae_gusto@realdripking_zw Best Buy the main CD place for music lovers who only trailed Walmart in terms of sheer volume doesn’t even sell CD’s in store anymore lol
@kammyxkammy@Tae_gusto@realdripking_zw If you buy a CD the sale ends there. With streaming even after you listen to the album it’s kind of unlimited. It’s a different business model, you can’t equate the two
@PalominoOMG@VigilantFox Yes. Vaccines helped the infant mortality and as regards to the plumbing he mentioned sanitation. Why is reading comprehension so bad?
