really, breh ???
i meant they made teenagers type of music
im including sales from their hit singles / work with their own dungeon family / other collaborations
although sales is an important part of ones success, it's solely not the only part
awards won, album reviews, music played on radio/video/clubs, articles written, ones fan base, received amongst peers etc... all part accounts into an artist success
with that said, take the fact there span thru time was consistent makes them one of the most successful acts in hip hop history
breh
you can like who you like & dislike who you dislike
the problem is you seem to discredit their achievements base off your dislike & thats not cool mang
vanilla ice album in '91 sold around 8 million units
vanilla ice album in '94 couldn't even sell 500k
you posted tribe had a different look from the early 90's to the mid 90's and you thought they was on some homo shyt --- which was implied with the way they orignally dressed as being part of the native tongue
in reality bedsides their debut LP in '90 thereafter they dressed like every person in hip hop
'91 typical hip hop entire
baggy jeans, baseball jersey & fitted caps
you referred to kid n play as teenage rappers in your previous post. you thought they were teenagers. just admit it. I thought they were teenagers/early 20s for a long time myself, before I found out they were the same age as my parents. YOU AINT GOTTA LIE TO KICK IT.
they didn't just make music for teenagers. lol. theyre from the '80s & made party music. they had a large base of fans their age & older.
AGAIN, I never said anything about tribe's clothes. why do you keep trying to force this argument? I simply said that I thought they were some fakkits when they came out, and you've been trying to argue with me about their clothes ever since. this whole entire exchange is bizarre.
I asked you who were ALL of these artists that did huge numbers then flopped on the next album. I'm waiting for some sort of list and you gave me just one example in vanilla ice. the most generic go-to example, and that's it.
as for this outkast stuff, I don't discredit anybody's achievements. I even said that they were successful. I simply said that they weren't amongst the most successful acts of the '90s. youre just mad that I don't sit on my hands when I see people trying to push agendas. I keep telling yall, I don't care about no outkast. the only time yall see me talking about them is when yall try to rewrite history. if yall stop doing that, then you wont see me talking about them much at all. I'm not even talking about them in a negative light in this thread, and I usually don't speak bad of them actually.
DOG, you str8 listed their actual album sales, which totaled 5 million. then when I said, that's not nearly enough, you came back in the next post and said they sold 10 million ALBUMS. now ur claiming that you were including singles when you clearly used the word "ALBUMS". and for the record, their singles catalog wasnt all that big either breh. and now youre reaching for straws, trying to include industry props, and how much promotion they got from the huge laface/arista machine and chit like that; which means nothing to the conversation.
and I'm gonna start calling out all these people that are patting you on the back. I gotta call out
@IllmaticDelta for continuously dapping you, knowing that youre bullchittin, all because he likes outkast. stuff like this is why this board fell off. yall need to man up and cut the chit.
@spliz too, talembout "great post". now if youre cosigning the tribe portion where he was arguing with someone else, then just quote that part. but you quoted his entire post, so you gotta get called out too.
I guess these nikkas rockin some long dress homo shyt too huh?
