If everyone had the tiniest bit of perspective, and understood sarcasm, and did not take everything quite so literally, it would foster much better discussion in the threads.

Only a complete moron would have said "who is Juice World" when he meant to say "Juice World had a lack of impact on the music industry". He has also had 3 billboard hot 100 songs and 1 album that charted number one on the weekly billboard chart. He also won the Billboard 2019 top new artist award. So he wasn't just some nobody that "had a lack of impact on the music industry" and this is coming from someone that would change the radio whenever his songs came on.

You are behaving like a child. Saying "Who?" is a very common response that is used to highlight the minimal impact a particular person has had when someone is speaking of that person in a way that assumes everyone knows everything about the person being mentioned. It is often a sarcastic comment that serves to give the impression that the speaker has never heard of the person, even if the speaker has actually heard of the person.

As for your (obviously Googled) statistics, those are stats to wipe one's ****** with.

3 Hot 100 songs? Oh, how I long for the days when a song wasn't considered a "hit" unless it made the Top FORTY.

As for #1 album, that has also become a "who cares" type of accomplishment, now that "streaming" counts in that category. You can now have a #1 album by selling fewer than 1,000 copies. Pathetic (see below).

Finally, the Billboard top new artist award is also a joke. Most "top new artist" awards are. Remember Milli Vanilli?

Anyhow, about 5 minutes from now, the only thing that will come to mind when I see "Juice WRLD" is some sort of Miami establishment that sells tropical fruit smoothies. And that needs to replace the broken "O" in the sign on the front of the building.










Last week, rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie celebrated a new career high point, as he saw his sophomore studio album Hoodie SZN lift to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the all-encompassing chart that ranks the 200 most popular titles in the U.S. every week. The musician collected his first chart-topper in the process, and, impressively, he was able to do so with a collection that had already been out for two weeks, missing the mark in both of its two first frames.

This week, Hoodie SZN holds at No. 1 for a second stint, and while the musician is surely happy to maintain his grip on the highest spot on the important listing, he has made history once again in a surprising, and some would say rather negative, way.

During the past tracking frame, Hoodie SZN shifted just 55,000 equivalent units, which is a small sum for anything that sits atop the chart, but it’s the sales count that is newsworthy.

According to Nielsen Music, the company tasked with providing data to Billboard to compile the weekly charts, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s first leader only managed to actually sell 749 copies this past week. That now stands as the record for the least number of copies sold by a No. 1 album in the U.S., and it bests a record set only the week prior.

Last time around, when Hoodie SZN first replaced 21 Savage’s I Am > I Was at No. 1, it made history in the same fashion by only selling 823 copies. That exceptionally low sales count made it the first chart-topper to sell fewer than 1,000 copies and still manage to own the chart. Before it did so, I Am > I Was set a new record for the lowest-selling No. 1 album in history.

These titles have been able to lead the way thanks to sizable streaming sums, with plays totaling in the tens of millions across platforms. Now that the Billboard 200 includes streams from popular outlets like Spotify and Apple Music, plays from people only streaming, instead of buying, can easily dictate what ends up ruling, especially when it comes to new releases from some of the biggest talents in hip-hop.

Like I said, in 5 years, nobody is going to remember who Jizzworld is. Guys like Pac and Biggie, will stay legendary. They made movies of these guys.

You're an idiot if you believe someone who uses all of Google'e products, does not know how to use Google. But you're clearly triggered over my jokes.

This cat might be popular now. But in this day and age of disposable media, that no one will talk about this rapper in 5 years.

How the fvck would I know if you use all of google products? That news is honestly shocking. I had you pegged for the type of guy that refused to learn how to use a VCR.

I am acting like a child? LMFAO the guy coming into a thread about a dead guy making childish jokes is the guy acting like a child. You then called me a moron for thinking adults should use proper English(I found it funny that a lawyer, the most middle class job I could think of, would have the audacity to call someone a moron).

No schit I googled the statistics. Do you think I am a walk encyclopedia of where artists songs chart? I don't even know where rappers I do listen to chart on the billboards.

His song Lucid Dreams peaked at number 2 on the Billboard hot 100.

Having a number 1 album is not a "who cares" type of accomplishment.

We grew up in a time when music albums were tangible. Now all the music these days are aimed at streaming. Even new music from artists I grew up listening to just isn't very good to me.

New Snoop, meh
New Tool, overrated and can't believe they couldn't put out a better album
New Manson, very meh.

Yes, you are acting like a child. Grow up.

You are overreacting about a person making a one-word post ("Who?"). He wasn't even the first person to make that comment, but you said nothing when other people made that observation or criticized the music.

I criticized you for freaking out on one poster, assuming he was being literal ("Who?") and lecturing him on how to use Google. Oh, and for suddenly standing up for some random rapper who you claim not to like that much, yet you go to the trouble of Googling his wafer-thin list of dubious accomplishments.

And, yes, selling under 1,000 albums in a week (while getting a bunch of streams) is a "who cares" accomplishment. The fact that you have no perspective to grasp that is obvious.

Thing is most people only know his mainstream music but I advise you to check out some of his freestyles(completely different from his songs and he has bars), he could actually freestyle unlike most rappers nowadays. that man was talented for sure

Its because, as I said before, I don't give af about Juice Wrld. I don't listen to his music. If you want to come in and criticize the kid, that is fine, even if I do think it is immature.

Asking the guy if he knows how to use Google is not freaking out.

Going through the trouble? It took me less than 10 seconds to google that info.

It is not a "who cares" accomplishment because it is not like he is getting some sort of handicap compared to other present day artists. That is the current criteria being used to rank how well an album has done. No one says Beethoven was not very accomplished because he didn't sell a ton of albums before he died.
