Been listening to a lot of 07-08 Gucci and I can't believe how many flows he had and his willingness to jump on any beat. Dude was a monster.

It just seems very unearned for the whole fanfare of "13th platinum plaque" without actually engaging in sales, etc. Like, of course people are gonna download something for free. It doesn't fit with the investment of buying an album or listening to it so many times on a streaming service. Platinum is tough as hell in this day and age and requires a lot behind it to make it happen. This is like rules lawyering to get a plaque.

Honestly I can't wrap my head around how there are three completely different sounding verses (all amazing) and a seemingly limitless amount of wordplay around lemons and the colour yellow. And the beat is really good.

A true classic.

Either way it's irrelevant because it will be double platinum in a month or two from actual sales and streams. If it were any other rapper aside from Jay, Em, Kanye, or Drake I could see the argument, but those guys are inevitably getting a plaque.

lmao. Like a month after it goes up on Apple/Spotify It's going to go platinum from streams.

All this did was increase the speed of it. MCHG went 2x Platinum in the first year.


Also at the end of the day. It still doesn't matter. Either you like the music on the album or you don't. Sales only matter for the artist, and dumb fans.


Unless you're laughing at Yachty's album going triple charcoal. But seriously, most of my favorite artists don't sell poo poo for albums.

Why is 21 Savage capable of making love songs better than some artists whose lane that is? They're not something I'm gonna listen to regularly, but they're way better than I would have expected Overall, the album is a solid 4 stars out 5 for me.

They come off as sincere and in earnest. Like, singing about how they can be drunk all weekend instead of how he wants to be a better person.
