FETTY WAP DEBUT ALBUM CERTIFIED PLATINUM

[DOPEdweebz]

Maybe he did in fact hear one of his songs but didn't know it was fetty but Jesus you niggas are acting like some ol bitches just cause he ain't heard that wack niggas shit.. The fuck cares

Damn nigga you acting like Fetty got one of your ex girlfriends pregnant, then try to act like you don't care at the same time. We get ya main point cous.

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

Yea, I don't listen to radio at all. Might be a strange concept for some of you, but not everyone does.

 

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

Nigga how is it a cheat code?

Cars dont even come with cd players now why judge an artist based on an almost obsolete technology? Is shit not supposed to evolve? Should we still be ranking artists on cassette tapes?

God some of you niggas are dumb.

You realize they counted digital album purchases pre this cheat code right? Nobody is saying only count physical copies. All we are asking is you only count a purchase of an entire album via cd and or digital download.

Counting every 10 downloads of a single from an album as an album purchase is cheating. If you product is dope then people will buy the whole thing not 1 to 3 hot songs. From a streaming standpoint yes people stream tons of music, but to count thousands of streams (many from people repeating) that is a cheat and a slick way to get more sales. Yes they cap the amount of streams they add to numbers but it is still cheating. If someone really likes your shit they would buy it.

It's not cheating if RIAA makes the rules. Things change. Did you dudes even know that originally they didn't even have a platinum category and they didn't count CDs? That they measure shipments minus returns and not sales? And that a platinum singles used to mean 2 million sold not one? And the original gold certification meant your sales equal 1 million dollars regardless how much you sold? RIAA also counts double albums as doubling the actual sales. Weeknd went play off trilogy because they tripled the actual units he sold . Y'all only have problem with this because artist you don't like are benefiting

Yes standards have changed in the past. However the idea of pulling every 10 singles and counting it as an album is a clear cut cheat code. What divides one hit wonders and one dope song per album niggas from legends and consistent rappers is when people decided to pay for the entire body of work versus one hot song. This changes the entire dynamic of album metrics.

If you have a hot single you should be rewarded with a plaque for the single. But you shouldn't count every 10 singles for an entire album.

The point went over your head too. Its not that if you listen to radio but if you're a hip hop head ona hip hop board I just find it hard for people to say I never heard a Fetty Wap song either from your own kids or in passing.

The only thing I can see and agree on is if someone heard it in passing and didn't know because its simply not their style of hip hop anymore.

I don't listen to Adelle but Im not gonna like I aint heard some of her shit in passing. I get it though. We all get out of touch or get comfortable in our own taste.

 

[a_list]

Damn, Wap done went plat?...Can say that I don't listen to radio like that either, but I've heard this cats shyt....

 

[Mr.LV]

A lot of people stream rap songs all the time I expect more platinum albums in the future.

 

[blackrain]

I've never heard a Fetty Wap song

Don't...it's the worst catchy shit ever...I heard "679" and "Again" riding with my brother one day and it took a week to get them hooks out my head lol

 

[blackrain]

I actually like that mine again song... could be an Usher song...

If that sounds like an Usher song your standards for R&B is low as fuck

The music industry is moving away from the album format because it's no longer viable,

This is not a good argument

No one complains about the Weeknd going plat on trilogy or Biggie going diamond despite neither of them selling as much as the certification suggest

I've never heard a Fetty Wap song

Lies

I've never heard a Fetty Wap song

Lies

Niggas always say this

I've never heard a Fetty Wap song

Lies

I haven't *shrugs*

Niggas always say this

Niggas on the IC be like 'Never heard a Drake song", but arguing in every Drake thread.

Why I have to lie about never hearing one of his songs? And I'm not arguing, I just said I've never heard one of his songs, I'm pretty sure it's some shit I've heard yall have never heard

but there been how many threads about his music . so you mean to tell me you never clicked in those threads ? and his shit on the radio .

I had no interest and I don't listen to the radio, I play cds or mp's and I don't be in his threads but I'll check it out

Never heard the album but that shit go

 

[Built 4 cuban linx]

Maybe he did in fact hear one of his songs but didn't know it was fetty but Jesus you niggas are acting like some ol bitches just cause he ain't heard that wack niggas shit.. The fuck cares

Damn nigga you acting like Fetty got one of your ex girlfriends pregnant,

SMH corny response and not original. Anyway, what I still stands

Isn't it just very reasonable that you've heard his songs but weren't aware that they were his songs, simply because you don't really know who he is?

I mean, I know of Taylor Swift, but I wouldn't be able to recognize not even one Taylor Swift song if I heard it 50 times, and I've probably most likely have heard at least one of her songs.

Some people just aren't into pop/mainstream music. Makes easy sense to me.

They are moving away from it because niggas are too lazy to make compete quality albums. Kendrick went plat and so did cole for his last album (pre cheat codes he needed for born sinner and Sideline Story). If you you have a true movement and make quality music you will go gold or plat. Shit pre cheat codes fetty was at least gold which is impressive.

And to your point earlier about me being mad cause we don't like the artist that is benefiting is false. I don't think cole should have gotten the cheat code help to get plat. I only consider FHD his only true platinum album. In addition to that artists even in 360 deals benefit from their touring and merch more than album sales. The RIAA is doing this for the record labels. These fuckniggas in the front office terribly promoting trash albums and fast foot albums feel special when someone goes gold or plat now with a boost from counting 10 singles.

Fetty Wap is selling out house of blues venues coast to coast he doesn't need a platinum album. But the execs and the label needs those milestones quicker to make them appear as if they helped "promote" his album to get there. Fuck these hoe ass lazy labels plain and simple.
