I'm proud of him. He's not the best rapper alive (or anywhere near that) but he's definitely the most improved; he deserves it.

last one didnt because he went to jail literally 3 months after the album was released
he didnt get to promote it nearly as much as he normally does
look at the KING album
he had time to promote it properly and it went 2x plat
this one he'll have plenty of time to promote
i bet it goes 2x platinum

impressive, certainly for today's standards as well

the album could have been cool but it wasn't that great

I liked a lot of the leftover tracks

and he only did it cuz he appealed to all people. with a balance of different music.

I think that he has really nice beats it gives you something to really dance to in the club.

I'm glad he's making money and everything but it's just sad to see people buy into this bullshit music. I mean some of his songs are actually pretty good but lets face it he's a wannabe blood who kisses men.

It's sad when he is considered the best out right now.  Shows you how far rap has fallen off.  That being said good for him for making money in a system that is designed to keep people like him down from ever achieving any success.

If he makes good music should it really matter if he is a fake blood who kisses men?

He doesnt really make good music tho. And alot of his fans are dumb niggas who think he is a real gangbanger.
