    are you kidding me? do you know anything about a&r? im not discounting ur overall point, but it's wholly possible for someone like myself -- with all my talents and wherewithal -- to be able to use deductive reasoning. sorry im not f----- up on codeine!!!!!! you RLY think i have no gauge -- 17 y/o's rule the world right hahahah

    bro yes. but his influence isn't a magic wand. he's collaborated with soooo many other artists like.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOOD_Music#Former_acts
    ( you f---ing with the latest sa ra? point: CA. sit)

    you can't say "most" potential -- well you can. it's merely speculative and given your lack of scope, it's a pretty minute pov
    so its WAY TOO early to compare him to wayne lol.

    definitely got off too easy for ranking it last in his most played Kanye albums.

    Nothing will ever ever compare to that movement in my eyes. It might have been short but he had the whole world yelling g-unit. On a global front people forgot just how f---ing massive he was and still is.

    i see where this is going, so if you think they can't, why would you say thug is going to be bigger than wayne?

    or are you just trying to recover in the best way possible here lmao

    Real talk 50 is probably bigger and more popular in 2016 than Thug is.

    To be fair I don't think anyone can replicate Wayne's run. People move on so fast from music nowadays unless it's your favorite rapper. Soundcloud, streaming, a million rappers that sound the same, and the general population doesnt really care about who's actually making the music. Music is moving faster than ever and it's impossible to do huge numbers.

    my issue with your argument was that you literally used a co-sign as a building block to try and convey that thug will one day be not just as big, but BIGGER than wayne.

    yes, sales are becoming more moot, and while the industry has tried to correct that with a sales plus streaming model, it's still not an apples to apples metric. but radio success might be, and had this been a worthwhile argument, i would try and find numbers to try and show you. but it's not, you're the only person in this world who will ever claim thug will be bigger than prime wayne.

    matter fact, you're one of the few people in this world who will even try and make that claim without even knowing how big prime wayne was.

    check ya self bro

    he's a fraction of what wayne was, but using engines like social media, his success is more visible.

    wayne was everybody's favourite rapper, you didn't need twitter and instagram to feel it either

    Wayne's peak was like 7 years. Not even an exaggeration. 500 Degreez - No Ceilings. All hits no misses that's for the married folk

    he was making a direct correlation to the two artists' career paths based on how much time has passed since they started
    :idk:

    it's fine to think he's gonna blow up. i clearly disagree.

    the amount of exposure he's already received, the reaction to that exposure, the way the general population perceives him, his style, quality, etc etc etc. so many factors, but just call it my opinion.

    not sure if you're just talking mixtapes, or hits in general, but Go DJ was the first massive hit i recall hearing (C1). first big mixtape hit...i rly duno

    150k is a good over/under point. i'd take that bet, but ya i agree that it would be a long a--- bet though since i know that even in thugger's senior citizen days, you'll have faith that he'll blow up hah

    lol i think the more people try to compare the two artists, the more disdain i have for thugger. even those who are well versed in thugger's discography continue to make unfair comparisons... both artists are unique and successful (varying degrees, obvi) in their own right.

    this is literally the dumbest response to my thoroughly stupid post... i've said it many times before, but the Wayne/Thug comparisons are foolish; there's so few similarities between the two that it's asinine to continue to compare them...yet, you're trying to correlate thug's future sale projection numbers to wayne's from 15 years ago. the few comparisons that may be between the two aren't translatable to their followings, their potential, and definitely not their sales projections. that's literally like saying that because No Doubt took 5 years to blow up, that every other slightly similar band will also take 5 years. there's more to projecting the timeline of an artist than taking your pick of what you consider to be a similar artist and slapping a label on them. you should know better than that.

    @Narsh

    the mixtapes weren't searching for a hit per se, but there were test balloons: kush, diamonds & girls, etc
