🚨 Ebro says hip-hop has become too obsessed with sales Ebro pushed back on using commercial success to measure greatness, saying “Wrong chart, champ.” He argued “McDonald’s sells a lot of hamburgers… that doesn’t mean it’s the best hamburger,” adding that moments like Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt celebration and Kendrick... Lamar’s Pop Out prove culture and impact matter more than numbers. Via Rap Life Reviewshow more

The McDonalds cheeseburger argument is so low IQ. Doesn’t even make sense. McDonald’s sells a lot of cheeseburgers because it is cheap and convenient. People know it’s a shitty burger but still choose to get it because it is available

This was “The Culture” at The Pop Out btw Just more racism and Xenophobia from Overcompensating Ebro

They stay moving the goal post lmao. We need some new media people. This old era cooked

The same people who was gassing Kendrick sales and streams 💀💀

Anything they can do to discret the last 16 years of drake dominance they will try

This is, objectively, the worst music/hip-hop show/pod in existence, made even worse if you think about it being an Apple product with a budget. Stop putting even a Lumen of light on it. It's terrible.

I'd say this. Anyone that compares music to food is mentally ill and not intelligent. Any and ever artist in the world cares about sales because that's how they FEED. You can't earn a living as and artist without consumption of music because that equals money. The artists know this, Ebro knows this. He is just purposely being ignorant to push a narrative.

Ebro thinks you are stupid ! Bro numbers will always matter thats how we get a new president or how new laws gets passed. Drake selling a lot does mean its fast food music its because ppl really fucs with it so stop the 🧢 ! Bot allegations have been debunked on drizzy but not for kbot unless ebro you want tell us something ?! 🤨

And the McDonald argument is ass because - just like music, it’s a personal experience. Who are u to tell me McDonald’s isn’t the best? Or if rapper A is the best TO ME? U know what u can’t do tho? U can’t argue how impactful rapper A is if he’s doing dot jigga numbers.

Jay-Z was all about numbers when it came to album sales, but since he's not currently releasing music, that's no longer important in hip hop culture. Tupac also was big about numbers! It's always been a factor in hip hop, but since the Canadian rapper has the bigger numbers, they try to draw an analogy to fast food. If the rapper with bigger numbers weren't also making quality music, so many people wouldn't be playing it!

Because this a job.. how u living if you not selling tf

If numbers don’t lie, then why TF Jay Z said “women lie, men lie, numbers don’t”?‼️ FOH

That’s why Drake is the GOAT because he’s the most well rounded and the best in every category

every time someone pushes this ppl care about #’s too much narrative, they cite some of the highest selling ever Jay z, Kendrick Lamar none of the names who have pushed the genre this far, none of them would be celebrated nor discussed in this capacity w/o their massive sales.

We gotta define fast food music because Drake gets labeled that but he has 6 old albums still streaming high years/decade later while rappers who make quality music ie j Cole has 1 album in the top 200

Who is gonna tell @oldmanebro that whole McDonald’s analogy doesn’t work when all music cost the same and easily accessible. Try something else you dumbass

Shut up nigga when it came to not like us u was screaming numbers durning jay z the nigga who motto was men lie women lie numbers don’t these niggas want to have jay z baby at this point

If numbers don’t matter give the money back from the sales then. 🤷🏾‍♂️ they gotta stop this

This imaginary culture shit is dumb

The McDonalds card is only pulled on one man. The Weeknd‘s sales are his stronghold. Same for every other artist. I don’t know how Ebro functions without some sort of cognitive assistance.

A famous rapper once said “men lie, women lie, numbers don’t” And then fast forward to 2026 when a certain guy we dont like breaks records, numbers no longer matter

Time is money. The a cost of listening to music is the same for everyone unlike food. Numbers show who people are choosing to spend their time with. It's a voting machine.

Lmao 🤣😂 if all y'all care about is culture then why are you making music? The culture don't sell records and Drake is a business man that feed's the public i general and not just a certain demographic. This kinda talk is BS jusy to suck Jay or Dot's dick

😂🤣😂🤣

He’s right

Moving the goal post like always

Meanwhile imaginary players- Jay Z bragged about the cost of his single Takeover- he bragged about how he was outselling Nas. Please stop @oldmanebro

Nigga ignoring the whole decades worth of OVO Fest…this ain’t a gotcha at that Canadian at all, @oldmanebro 💀

This is kind of a BS argument in today’s standards. Reasonable Doubt lacked in sales but the quality was undeniable. Today the lack of QUALITY is what’s lacking. What’s selling for the most part is actually good.

@oldmanebro its going to be commerce over culture until the culture can be trusted and isnt controlled by commerce and feelings. Yall arent reliable. Yall just want to control things again and have bigger say over whats hot or not. the people have X’d the middle man out.

This is just so stupid. U can't compare music to food because, u have the choice to visit different restaurants but with the music, its on one platform, everyone is at liberty to stream from the same platform. So if people decide to skip the other music and listen to this one artist, it means they love that artist music. These are just dumb takes from these guys who can't sell because, not many people are interested in listening to them.

Hip-hop is the only genre who tries to say that sales does not matter Do not compare DRAKE to McDonald’s that is NBA YoungBoy- Drake has the most replay value as a Rapper that means he has the best quality

I promise you the only and i mean the ONLY reason why niggas like Ebro , the Rob Markmans the CTG ‘s etc etc act like they dont gaf about commercial success charting billboard etc is cause Drake is in this game still if Drake never existed niggas would not have a problem with it
