Props to Breh for his dedication to the craft

Again, you aint saying shyt. What song is that? Go look at his biggest streams, then compare them to Drake, Ye, Rihanna, Weekend, and the other contemporary stars he's compared with. Their "hits" shyt all over his in terms of streams and impact and its not close.


Rather than wait for your bullshyt excuses, I'll just put your sorry ass on ignore in advance

I think he’s talking about “Humble” that song did big numbers. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s somewhere close to diamond by now

 

[Metal Face]

of course he can
he's a pop rapper
he has more songs on Billboard Hot 100 than Nas ever did

 

[Gangstar8]

He trash

 

[BK The Great]

Guess people forgot about Swimming Pools, Humble & Poetic Justice.

 

[GeeEffKay]

well duh, just look at humble and the black panther songs like mentioned

You probably right, that's his biggest hit. And I wouldn't consider that a mega-hit

Literally.

I don't even take the quote as bragging. He's done it, it's easy to him. Dunno what the album sounded like when he made that quote months ago but he clearly had a general sense that this was not a radio album. I will say this though: the radio-esque songs on here are some of his weaker ones. Purple Hearts isn't bad but feels like it should be better. N95 is just wack to me outside of the hook...I feel like he prob recorded 20 bangers better than that over the last 5 years, dunno why he chose that one. I fukk with Silent Hill and Rich Spirit. Die Hard sounds like a hit.

What would you consider a mega hit in rap?

 

[Timbs]

This ironically sounding like that cop out Drake made about conscious music
