That's not what I asked you,I said where's your undeniable proof? Do you have ANY?

Yes. The rap songs on Views have gotten little to no attention on the radio and in clubs.

Compare that to the reception of songs on WATTBA and you'll notice that Views has had little to no impact in the Hip hop and rap community

Who's hotter in hip hop,drake or Kendrick?

Drake is obviously hotter but that doesn't mean he's better. Ja Rule at one point was hotter than Nas and probably sold more records and who is still claimed and regarded as a legend?. The only album that I would say Drake dropped that had an impact and it was mixtape was so far so gone. Everyone wants to say Take Care is a classic but it's debatable and I don't think it's really a classic amongst the hip hop world. Kendrick has so far dropped nothing but classic material and he's already regarded in hip hop as a living legend two albums deep.

sadly,you thought this post meant something.
It meant nothing.
Drake ain't Ja and Kendrick ain't nas.
Now matter how much you believe what you just said,it's just your opinion.
Unless you're referring to what media is saying. If you are, then I'd take record sales over media propaganda any day.

Wonder if you were making the same arguments about Ja vs Nas in the late 90s. This shyt is corny.

Drake is the biggest rapper in the world, I get it. Too bad his albums are forgettable outside of Take Care.
fukk Ja and nas.
Kendrick is forgettable top to bottom

5 months after WATTBA they had 2 rap/hip hop songs on the charts.

5 months after Views he had 0 rap/hip hop songs on the charts.

None of the rap/hip hop songs Views actually resonated at all. Which is crazy cause he's the biggest performer in the genre.

He did a great job with the R&B records on there, though.

You keep saying this and yet he has two plat albums and is doing quite well career wise. At this point you just look bitter. You don't like the music, cool. But the endless campaign to convince us that a guy with two plat albums doesn't have many fans and is a media creation is just laughable and based on nothing but your opinion.

Even moreso as we see more artists dabble in the sounds and themes of TPAB, from Solange to even Beyoncé.

Anyway back to the album...I still need to get the vinyl.

But when I call Kendrick forgettable....

Yea my opinion. Just as its your opinion Kendrick's music is forgettable. As I said in my post that's fine, whatever. My problem is your laughable attempt to argue nobody likes him, he's irrelevant etc. I think Drake makes weak albums and yet just said he's the biggest rapper in the world.

I only posted charts cause that's all you seem to care about.

But you can't name any Rap/Hip Hop song on Views that has had any impact in the genre or community even compared to Drake's own work.

and actually, the billboard isn't a Sales chart.
Lol,you can do better than that Lil buddy.

I don't have to do better than that. Time is proving my point.

Your point seems to be that because Views sells, that it's having a big impact in rap/hip hop yet none of the rap songs on there have had any impact at all by whatever metric you want to use:lolbron:

Actually you do, you dismissed sales then went right back to them as a form of proof.
Made a fool of yourself
