What happened to that J.Cole album is better than Take Care talk? FOH. S/o to Drizzy got damn it. #OVOXO
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!!
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
Good job Drake. Now go fix Weezy and kill Nicki, and we’ll be back on track.
Un-deserved.
^cold blooded
WTF happened to Rap Radar? Y’all ban me like faggots.
[…] Read the rest of this great post here […]
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…
Congrats Drake.. Your career in official now, 2 plats in! YMCMB the business…#OVO
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.
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?
Yeah ! Anyways NEW Common & Jeezy albums in stores now !
Congrats Drake your R&B album went plat.
@ ZoomZoomDad-Otis
JEEZY IS NOT HIP HOP EITHER!
BUY THAT FUCKIN’ COMMON ALBUM AND SOME UNDERGROUND ALBUMS, BITCHES!
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
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
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.
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
Co-Sign @Donn
All these fucking haters are mad Drake surpassed J. Cole, Jay-Z and Kanye West.
@ 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?
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
He raps better than your so called generic true rappers if he wants to……plays lord knows
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?
@Cali Thank you baby.
Pop Hop>>>> Hip-Hop. Thank God. Real Hip is boring.
@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
@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.”
Nobody wants to hear Drake? 1 Million motherfuckers will disagree.
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
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.
Hold on ! Did Donn just call Cali “Baby”? I hope Cali is a chick for Donn’s sake.
@COLD DE?TH 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
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.
J Cole Vs Drake: I even gave em a chance to decide and that’s something they know, they know..
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.
@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.
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.
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.
Oh yea Ima Bloggin ass bitch!!
^
THANKS FOR THE PROMO, STANLEY!
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
why do people act like sales makes something better
cole world is better than take care
I used to Troll Worldstar Hip-Hop but now Im on Rap Radar
WHERE ARE AM I NOW?
Congrats to the Kid!
^
I NEVER WAS ON WSHH! I AM A PART OF RAP RADAR SINCE 2009! I HAVE A LOT OF STANTS AND IMPERSONATORS LIKE YOU!
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
I AM NOT TROLLIN’ YOU BITCH ASS FAGGOTS! I AM JUST SUPPORTIN’ REAL HIP HOP!
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
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
Its like comparing apples to oranges. But J. Cole really did his thing in 2011.
“My Sophomore, they was all for it, they all saw it / My Junior and Senior will only get meaner, Take Care Nigga” – Drizzy #OVOXO
How was Cole World better than Take Care? You niggas saying it but not giving reasons and don’t say cuz Drake sang on this album because he making hits when sing. Yall niggas saying Cole World was gonna change peoples lifes and that shit was soooooooooo basic.
Sweet!
[…] RapRadar Tweet […]
Never thought this day would come but numbers don’t mean shit.
JA RULE went platnium mad times
THE BIG TYMERS went platnium
JUVENILE went platinum
etc…
Just cuz u go platinum don’t mean shit about shit. It just means ur on the radio.
There’s not even an argument here. To each his own but don’t say Cole album is better because he’s not quite at gold yet. (500,000) But obviously more ppl like Drake’s album if they’ve actually paid for it. So no, Drake is not better because he sells more records. He’s better bcuz more ppl listen to him… Over 500,000 more ppl hv bought that album. #thisiscommonsense smh.
NIko… lives not lifes…that’s TOO basic
To be honest
Drake is gonna be good and All of him Albums will go Platinum. Nuff said.
So far Gone should’ve been a album. It wouldn’t went Platinum. I think it’s probably 8x Platinum in the Mixtape Community. Ymcmb ovo
Took five weeks to hit platinum when it sold 650 first week? Must’ve dropped like a bitch second week!
Congrats to Drake. It was a dope album. I wasn’t expecting this album to be that good but it exceeded my expectactions. Second best album behind Cole World.
Drake makes pop music and FEMALES bought his album. Men dont really buy music or shop like women do. Drake caters to women and he sold because he attracts the audience that buys albums….. Women. Props to him he knows how to sell but im still no fan of his music.
nice. fuck drake and his stupid hoe .drake is soft as fuck .he
luv? FUCK YOU DRAKE !!!!
Congrats drizzy. Let’s talk about how common trying to diss drizzy drake cause he getting with serena..
Why can’t ppl leave this Cole and Drake argument alone, their two different artists and both made great albums, drake was even featured on Cole World, while ur arguing about them their working together
Haters give it a rest please
its digitally n phsyical copies sold combine….aint that cheating???
How’d it take five weeks to sell a million when 65% of it was done first week? It took 4 weeks to sale the other 350?
@Get Real
Lemme Guess Take Care Is Better Than Illmatic Too Because According To Your Sales Logic It Is.
Both Albums Sucked For You idiots
All these mid 90″s barbiturate babies are blowing it for Rapradar. Yall little niggas couldn’t see the forrest fro the trees… yall to busy blinded by bullshit like mediatakout and wordstarhiphop. Grow up, travel, get pussy from bitches that read at least once a day, touch different currencies, etc.
PS Im only 22, so hit the delete button n start typing that wing ass rebuttal over!
#BITCH
Wow. Yall are a bunch of haters. Drake is HipHop. He’s Rap. And he’s VERY successful for a reason. Theres a reason why he’s sold a million copies. Yall can call it RnB all you want, but really, everyones problem is that they’re used to him doin songs like the ones he gets featured on that sound like Lil Wayne tracks and shit. Bangin beats and catchy hooks to get amped to in clubs and in the whip and shit. DJ Khaled type shit. Then he drops his album, which is HIS sound and everyone aint used to it and gets upset cuz they’re expecting something else. But instead of just sayin you aint into it, you would rather listen to his other shit…Yall say, “He’s garbage. Whack ass nigga. Soft ass, sweet as bitch nigga.” Hatin at its best man. The kid is Ill as fuck. His new album Take Care is a fuckin classic. You listen to his lyricism and arrangement and you know this kid is special. He’s 10X better than lil wayne is now. STRAIGHT UP. Someone can cosign me on that one, cuz Waynes shit lately been aight, but nothin like his old shit from like 2006-2007. Drake came up as a rapper who would sing too. Then he does both on his album, and people start hatin. You wanna listen to drake songs with hard beats and less signing, listen to a lil wayne song. straight up. basically the same thing, just without the singin. But if you wanna listen to a good ass album, with rap and rnb and amazing lyrics. pick up drakes Take Care. Shoulda went plat way faster than that. KID IS SICK AS FUCK. YALL HATIN LIKE MUFUCKERS
Dis nigga drop a str8 r&b album and it goes plat…done wit hip hop …no hate jut bein real……Swayze
lmao!! at errbody complaynin bout drake if yall aint like his sheit
make ya own dam cd…and get yo shit plain on tha ray dio
truth!!
sike!! all i heard thru the whole cd was drake saying he was “the realest nigga” drake you fired your manager that got you where you are now and you are definatley not a “nigga” ….haha but shit i guess his success isnt harming me so im not hatin
shout out to Draka aka Saint Lucas suck his dick already
Real niggas like drake. Just cause you faggot niggas don’t get any pussy on the regular and fuck fat bitches and can’t relate to drake, you hate.
“know that i don’t make music for niggas who don’t get pussy
so those are the ones i count on to diss me or overlook me”
real niggas like drake?? bet yo ass is a suburban whyte boi.
I am, And I still get more pussy than you “ghetto nigga” You’re so hard!
hahahaha mo pussy then me u trippin cracka…u getting pancake ass white bitches…my bitches got ass like no otha fuck you talkin bout….bet yo ass be opening doors and sheit beggin fo a date
@m get the fuck out this site callin ppl nigga being white faggot.
It’s expected. I loved that album. Congrats Drizzy! TAKE CARE!
I still find it odd when people type out words like “fo.” “Bet yo ass be opening doors and sheit beggin fo a date.” Really? I understand that you probably speak moronically, but you actually type in the same fashion? Interesting.
Anyway, regardless of what your opinion is about the album, going platinum is still quite an accomplishment in this day and age. In a perfect world people would stop bringing up J. Cole in Drake posts and Drake in J. Cole posts, but by now I’ve come to accept the fact that people just love stirring up shit for whatever reason. Take Care was a good album. Was every single track straight up “hip-hop” or “rap?” No. Was every single track fantastic and worth many many spins? No. But was it a solid piece of work worth a ten dollar purchase? Absolutely. Listen to the music you like, buy the albums you wish to own, and please, PLEASE stop posting ignorant nonsense on posts like these that contribute nothing to the conversation.
YOLO!!!! http://www.rapsandrings.com
Can anyone say Drake bought his own albums cus he was upset that J.Cole went gold… pussy ass bitch
Lets be honest. Only reason why JCole ain’t platnum (Yet) cause his album isn’t as marketable as Drake’s “R&B” album. You want to talk Pop, alright, Drake got it. You want to talk Raps, Cole got it. Jst flip the albums & read the titles…….#LostOnes
at wild popped cherry bitch
bet yo ass gay huh..can tell you a white bitch be sticking up 4 (dat betta fo you?) m…aha paffetic
y’all can hate all u want Dreezy n Cole are my boyz….
