That snippet and the song at the end of Hit Different are nice, but I'm excited to hear it all as a body of work. It portrays rappers in a negative light by putting them in a box, degrades their art in general, and it disproportionately affects black people. I could be a bit off though I just learned about this a couple weeks ago.
The streams for this are...abysmal. Just over 27m on Spotify after almost two months. It’s a shame because it has definitely grown on me. Terrible “comeback” song though. I hope she can get it together and launch properly but I suspect it’s not gonna happen until 2021.
I get what you’re saying to an extent, but isn’t calculating streaming stats as part of the Billboard 200 just a better way of measuring music consumption nowadays?
Oh yeah, and you know I'm a pro-streaming hun all the way, just meant when comparing new and old accolades it'll seem weird.
You can never compare chart records from a different era anyway. Like how prior to the late 90s/00s, albums wouldn't peak in sales in their first week. And then it became all about whose first week #s were higher.
I can say that "Hit Different" is officially a banger. With these nights that turn dark quickly, it's a mood lately.
