@thisissharrieff @rvcemymind @ajclassicjr It wasn’t tho. Buying the physical album was the only way you could listen to new music back in the day now you can just stream it. It’s harder to sell albums now than it was back then.

@dantoo0 @rvcemymind @ajclassicjr Once again. I buy the album I don’t need to buy it again. Streaming, you don’t have to take a risk on buying one album for $20, you’re paying $9 a month to try out any song you want. Getting someone to go to the store and buy your album before the social media era was way harder.

There is nothing unprecedented about him except longevity. There have been rappers with bigger peaks (Nelly, Hammer, 50 Cent), there are more influential rappers (Nas, Jay), rappers with better album (Ye, Future, T.i). He has the club in 2016 but it ain’t 2016 anymore.

@thisissharrieff @rvcemymind @ajclassicjr Yes, I do remember that and guess what? Yummy didn’t go number one

@dantoo0 @rvcemymind @ajclassicjr I remember when Justin Beaver dropped Yummy and he was telling his fans to sleep with the phone under their pillow, with the song on repeat so he could go number one. 😂 fuck outta here, this era is all fucked

@thisissharrieff @rvcemymind @ajclassicjr The problem with that is you would have to steam the album over 2500 times for it to even count as a full album sell. It’s not as easy as you think.

@dantoo0 @rvcemymind @ajclassicjr Once I buy a CD, chances are I don’t ever need to buy it again. But I can stream a song all day and night, on repeat and help make the album sales skyrocket. It’s a totally different/easier system that can’t be compared. Let’s use our heads here

@thisissharrieff @rvcemymind @ajclassicjr The only artist doing crazy numbers in the streaming era are people selling bundles with CDs and vinyls

@thisissharrieff @rvcemymind @ajclassicjr It doesn’t tho 2500 streams counts as 1 album sell it isn’t easier to sell more in the streaming era. Sales are lower now than they were back then and Music has not gotten any less popular.

@thisissharrieff @rvcemymind @ajclassicjr Country grammar came out over a decade before take care did and they sold about the same so that should tell you everything you need to know. What do you think those numbers will look like another decade from now?

@rvcemymind @ajclassicjr But I’m pretty sure you’re a lil kid so you don’t understand the significance of selling 10 million in that era

@GucciCanti You love calling out the Pokemon community 😭😭 I love it too tho fuck these people

Them folks LOVE them some Gameboyluke tho so he'll be iight. He'll stream and gain like 5k in sympathy cause he's getting called out for his evil ways.

@WayOfMiguel @bron23xgoat Thats what makes the situation so unfortunate. They realistically need 2-3 years to built up this roster but will most likely try to get it done as quick as possible. Will it work out? Who know. But with teams like okc, spurs, and pistons only getting better it’s gonna be hard.

@dantoo0 @bron23xgoat but the issue is that they cant treat the next 2 yeaes as gap years as you would be sacrificing 2 more years of luka's prime

No real person should be mad at the Lakers - Luka was playing his best basketball before he got hurt - LeBron was asked to carry after being told to be the 3rd option all season and actually won us round 1 - Reaves has been awful but he did everything to come back from injury

@bron23xgoat @WayOfMiguel Can’t really blame rob Lakers don’t have any assets to trade. lakers really aren’t in a good position unfortunately. Probably another 2-3 years of roster construction before I can realistically see them as a contender

@WayOfMiguel Yeah

@LakersNation What’s next for Reaves? He isn’t a max player

Reaves misses the 3 and we foul on the rebound...that might do it

@LakersNation We should be down 3-2 and that’s scary honestly

Just can't be lazy with these passes against the Rockets Some really dumb turnovers hurting us

@LakersNation Kd back game 4 most likely so this was a must win. Super disappointing

Timeout here as LA's down 4.

@ColstonRin29921 @LakersNation Don’t get ur hopes up

@LakersNation for the lakers obviously

And now they trail after Reed Sheppard's 3. Timeout #Lakers.

@HoopLakers @OVO_3esl @LakersNation They found a rhythm we lost ours. It’s pretty obvious how the rest of this game is gonna go.

@OVO_3esl @LakersNation Yall so pessimistic damn

And we're tied.

@LakersNation This game could really shift this series

Feels like LA's been unable to establish any sort of rhythm in the second half.

@LakersNation We look bad

Rockets aren't going away...

@LegionHoops Goatness

Marcus Smart on what he saw from LeBron James tonight: “Greatness.”

@urkle91 That tweet really gonna haunt you forever bro 🤣🤣🤣

Dem boys dont lost the game

@LegionHoops Goat idc what nobody says fucking goat

JUST IN: LeBron James and the Lakers have taken a 2-0 series lead over the Rockets. Insane.

@KOT4Q When you think Luka comes back?

Aye man. This was bad bad.
