Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

Nicki had a good run, but still

She had the perfect opportunity after Meek to reinvent herself and show some growth. Women were on her side.

Like how Beyonce did for Lemonade and come with something different after the Jay issues.

Nicki should have released something more introspective. Instead we got the same old Nicki.

FEFE is bigger than all her singles combined and I know her sales were low for her standards. I’m curious if they add those numbers to her sales or does it start later.


She was projected to do 150 (total) and 60 of those are actual sales. She's coming in at 2 or 3 until this FEFE move.




"This week's tight chart battle for #1 between Nicki Minaj's Queen and Travis Scott's ASTROWORLD is another skirmish in the longstanding competitive rivalry between Republic boss Monte Lipman and Epic prexy Sylvia Rhone.
Earlier in the week the odds seemed very much in Scott's favor, as new merch bundles were added to his highly successful store. Both sides have gone into overdrive to generate maximum numbers since then. Wednesday saw Republic strip on "FEFE," the 6ix9ine single on which she's featured (originally released on Elliot Grainge's TenThousand), to Nicki's album. The move may be a Hail Mary, but some in the UMG camp believe it has moved the center of gravity in the race. The freshly added 20th cut to the YMCMB/Republic set is currently #3 on Spotify's U.S. chart, and #2 at Apple Music.
Sony will argue that Apple shouldn't count today, since "FEFE" wasn't ingested into the Apple system until after 5:30pm ET. Look for other maneuvers from both camps, including a Nicki Tidal play.
Could this nudge the chart fight in Nicki's direction as she vies for the crown against returning champ Scott? Uni handicappers think so. But don't count Rhone out; last week Scott amassed about 250k in D2C, the biggest single-week direct-sales number in recent memory."

I already knew she was gonna do that, **** Travis Scott not playing fair lol

Bruh just did a 100k giveaway, STILL releasing new merch bundled with albums and now as of yesterday has Kylie promoting the album on twitter and her IG stories, how do you compete with that **** :rofl:



There aren't any rules out here tho. Juice Wrld dropped his album. Damn near a month later dropped a song with Uzi and they went back and added it to his album :lol:

Kylie Jenner momentarily shifted Snapchat. That tweet is worth millions of streams :lol:
 
And unless I’m mistaken, Cash app contributes a decent portion of that money. Desus and Mero had a similar promo run last year & earlier this year with Bodega Bucks. :lol:

So that money may not eem be coming 100% out of his pocket.

Brilliant marketing for Astroworld, and Cash app. Salute. :smokin

Yep 100%, it’s almost definitely some type of sponsor promo deal with Square/Cash App and yeah Desus and nem did basically the same on a smaller scale

If only Nicki’s team was this savvy :smh:

Edit: in reality she got the target on her so that would prolly make her look even more desperate :lol:

Definitely has a target on her back. True. But her team/the people could’ve at least tried to spin the Cash app stuff on some “her numbers are already impressive enough (>D) so now she’s just showing appreciation to her fans” steeze. Adding FEFE to the album 3 days later is just painfully corny.
