    What happened to that J.Cole album is better than Take Care talk? FOH. S/o to Drizzy got damn it. #OVOXO

  2. Lil Majer The Cartune says:

    Fxck these false Young Money numbers! I predict Nicki Minaj will sell 800,000 copies in its first week and in reality it’s supposed be like 450-500k smh!!

  3. FREEmacDIESAL says:

    WOW I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING!

    WHAT A SHOCKER

    I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS GOING PLATINUM AFTER IT SOLD 650K FIRST WEEK.

    NEXT YEARS TWEET: 1.5 MILLION SOLD. Luv

  4. Kill 4 Fun says:

    ^cold blooded

  6. Cali says:

    WTF happened to Rap Radar? Y’all ban me like faggots.

  7. Cali says:

    BTW Fuck generic ass J. Cole. His album didn’t even go Platinum that fast. Drake will be iconic. Watch when the next album is out…

  8. Real Life says:

    Congrats Drake.. Your career in official now, 2 plats in! YMCMB the business…#OVO

  9. Hip-Hop Fiend says:

    Congrats. This was to be the guy who was all buzz but he has 2 platinum albums under his belt. Take Care is classic. Its one those albums that gets better everytime you hear it. Drake was focus this time around.

  10. COLD DEΛTH says:

    DRAKE IS IS IRRELEVANT IN HIP HOP RIGHT NOW, AND WILL NEVER BE RELEVANT ANYMORE!

    I GUESS FOR SOME OF OLD HEADS WHO GREW UP LISTENIN’ TO THE LIKE WU-TANG CLAN, PUBLIC ENEMY, NAS, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST, BIGGIE SMALLS… ETC. WE SEE NOTHING IN DRAKE THAT SAYS HIP HOP.

    WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

  11. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    Yeah ! Anyways NEW Common & Jeezy albums in stores now !

  12. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    Congrats Drake your R&B album went plat.

  13. COLD DEΛTH says:

    @ ZoomZoomDad-Otis

    JEEZY IS NOT HIP HOP EITHER!

    BUY THAT FUCKIN’ COMMON ALBUM AND SOME UNDERGROUND ALBUMS, BITCHES!

    WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

  14. Gambino says:

    people be comparing cole world and take care but you know they’re two different artists now a days. J. Cole is true hip hop and Drake is now mainly R&B. They’re both just doing their things

  15. damone says:

    The guy from Canada that stared in a Nick show is doing his thing. Take care is soft and weak but girls and teeny boppers love it.

  16. Donn says:

    The haters will hate and Drake keeps on winning, moved more copies then he did his last cd, went platinum AGAIN, plaques and awards for writing for other ppl, like how can u hate on this dude. He’s not doing shit wrong,

    #Winning

  17. Cali says:

    Co-Sign @Donn

    All these fucking haters are mad Drake surpassed J. Cole, Jay-Z and Kanye West.

  18. COLD DEΛTH says:

    @ Donn

    WHO GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ALBUM SALES, YOU DEGENERATED SUBURBAN FAG! DRAKE CAN’T RAP AND CAN’T SING! MUSIC/QUALITY IS ALL THAT MATTERS! DRAKE IS POP! POP IS NOT MUSIC! POP IS INDUSTRY!

    WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

  19. Money and Power says:

    YMCMB is not like the generic groups that came before like G Unit , were if the boss fall the label fall. YMCMB is marketing their artist to cover the whole industry like crazy. Lil wayne is taking hip hop money, Drake is eating R&B and Trey Songs and Kanye West’s fans and money, and Nicki is going for Rihanna and Kat Perry’s sales, while Tyga is neck to neck with Wiz Khalifa.. tBirdman is not playing with his Money haa

  20. Smoke screen says:

    He raps better than your so called generic true rappers if he wants to……plays lord knows

  21. COLD DEΛTH says:

    REAL NIGGAS DON’T LIKE DRAKE AND YMCMB! I AM SICK AND TIRED OF LISTENIN’ TO ALL THIS POP SHIT ON THE RADIO! RAPPERS ACTIN’ LIKE THEY’RE HARD WHEN THEIR MUSIC’S JUST SOME POP SHIT! SOME PUSSY SHIT!

    WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

  22. Donn says:

    @Cali Thank you baby.

  23. Nigger Lover says:

    Pop Hop>>>> Hip-Hop. Thank God. Real Hip is boring.

  24. Real Life says:

    @COLD DEATH stop that real nigga shit hommie, niggas are dying everyday and others are sitting in jail for talking tough, and being ignorant.. just tuck your tail under your ass hater

  25. Umm says:

    @Cali that statement was 100% absurd. drake is cool. but let’s be real, kanye paved the way for drake’s career with 1 album (808′s & heartbreak). drake is milestones behind kanye.14 grammys. 6 straight patinum albums. worldwide critical acclaim. kanye is the sole reason for drake’s entire career. “i adopted these niggas, phillip drummond’ed ‘em” #FACTS

    anyway doe, will somebody please post common’s interview with from this morning. “sweet aimed towards drake.. and whoever wants it.”

  26. Brooklyn says:

    Nobody wants to hear Drake? 1 Million motherfuckers will disagree.

  27. Money33 says:

    Congrats Dizzy, the realest on the rise! J Cole and Watch the Throne stans are salty as fuck, just fall back and watch the throne you claim!!! YMCMB

  28. Word says:

    J. Cole will never be as succesful as Drake. He just can’t put songs together as good as Drake. We all waited for Cole World and that shit was just adverage.

  29. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    Hold on ! Did Donn just call Cali “Baby”? I hope Cali is a chick for Donn’s sake.

  30. bromane says:

    @COLD DEΛTH real niggaz don’t matter in hip hop anymore lol the game has changed whether you like it or not drake is here to stay you want to be a real nigga go back on the block

  31. Crack says:

    I’m confused, how exactly did Drake “surpass” Kanye or Jay? Congrats to dude, but I put my copy away like a week after I got it, and I haven’t even thought about it since. Negative replay value.

  32. Y U MAD says:

    J Cole Vs Drake: I even gave em a chance to decide and that’s something they know, they know..

  33. NBA says:

    Ok, that “bromane” comment is just sad. Basically, his point was that “real niggas” have been replaced with suburban bro’s, so if you want to keep up with pop culture trends, change up everything about who you are and become a hipster. smdh.

  34. Nigger Lover says:

    @NBA Its true tho. Just like when G-Unit came out kids the suburbs was rockin g-unit gear and baggy jeans going around sayin ggggg-G-Unit. Also when Jeezy came out everyone wanted to be trap star. Now its Skinny Jeans, auto-tune, and emotional songs. Time changes.

  35. Cali says:

    I’m a dude for the record.

    “Congrats Dizzy, the realest on the rise! J Cole and Watch the Throne stans are salty as fuck, just fall back and watch the throne you claim!!! YMCMB “… rip.

  37. NBA says:

    I guess I’ve just never been concerned enough about stupid gimmicks and teen-centric sales pitches to model my life after them. And I do consider it somewhat pathetic that there are people that do.

  38. COLD DEΛTH says:

    Oh yea Ima Bloggin ass bitch!!

  39. COLD DEΛTH says:

  40. KoldCase says:

  41. COLD DEΛTH says:

  42. Firiesport says:

  44. COLD DEΛTH says:

    I AM NOT TROLLIN’ YOU BITCH ASS FAGGOTS! I AM JUST SUPPORTIN’ REAL HIP HOP!

    WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

  45. Black Shady says:

    LOL if you really think Drake is better than Cole because of sales

    Cole World is 10X better than that rnb album Drake just dropped. Drake still my nigga…but yall need to stop this shit

  46. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    Its like comparing apples to oranges. But J. Cole really did his thing in 2011.
