May 29, 2025 at 8:04 AM but those songs are trash. they’re mass produced to cater to the lowest common denominator of society and those “diamond” certs are from mostly inflated numbers. none of those tracks contain any substance or replay value whatsoever. meanwhile (thanks largely to the op of the other thread) i’m listening to 30 unreleased em songs, all of which are lyrically and musically on another level than anythin drake’s ever made, and most of which could’ve become hits if em would just listen to his instincts instead of paul and tracy
May 29, 2025 at 8:14 AM h--- no cuz, 9 bangers out of 10. And the moment he stopped giving away huge hits, rap died. At least mainstream wise
May 29, 2025 at 11:20 AM He does. He literally has the 2nd most for a rapper. Lmfao only reason drake has 4 more then him is because drake blew up during streaming era, and it’s easier for songs to get more digital points now then 15 years ago. Also Drake is the poster boy for streaming. Not just in rap, but in music. He was pushed by Apple Music and Spotify themselves.
May 29, 2025 at 11:40 AM it's easier for today's hits to go diamond than it was in 90s early 2000s. Back then only singles could've been sold while today you can buy and stream every song off the album that's why a successful album has all songs certified platinum or higher. Also Drake updates his certifications every 2 months, pretty sure Eminem has like 4-5 songs ready for Diamond certification. The Monster, 'Till I Collapse, Without Me, Mockingbird and possibly Rap God and TRSS
May 29, 2025 at 12:48 PM For what? He is already the biggest rapper of all time. Anything more is just greed. It’s also why I don’t drop every year like taylor or the weekend
May 29, 2025 at 1:03 PM Rap still the most dominant genre on streaming. And has been for the past decade. Pop and country are coming back
May 29, 2025 at 1:12 PM It was re-released with "extras" and promoted. Most popular artists that do this see there albums in top 5 on billboard. Eminem barely cracking top 100. Huge L
May 29, 2025 at 1:27 PM Extras? Lol You mean the VMA real slim shady s--- that’s been publicly available on YouTube for years?
May 29, 2025 at 1:46 PM lol rap’s been flopping other than Drake, Travis Bundle and Kendrick because of the beef
May 29, 2025 at 2:03 PM Rapping been flopping other the …. List the biggest rappers…. Contradiction as always marsh.
May 29, 2025 at 2:15 PM must be the mayo, it's the mayonnaise That's creeping up on me, why I'm so high Maybe it's the pee-pee that has gotten in me Whatever's got into me, I don't mind
