Lmao he said "y'all drake fans" like he isn't the head of the fan club
i Kyon this guy be sluppin like a popsicle
Notorious Nas lmfao
lol but at least he's honest when criticising Drake unlike other Drake fans
i Kyon New trap beats on my channel
W
😂😂😂
"I gotta lot to say about Drake"
Do tell Akademiks, DO TELL
Jayel Chambers I didn't know Drake had a new album. Maybe because I didn't give a fuck!
oubre swishh Akademiks, is that you?
im dead!😂😂
Justyn Robinson Hell yeah 😭
Jayel Chambers 😂 major W
Rick Boss doesn't have moody single girls listening to his music
Also drake isn't a rapper so you can't compare the two
anteo alushi thankyou!☝☝☝
anteo alushi you're a dumbass just shut and delete your post. anyone who says he isnt a rapper is a straight dumbass and thats fact. hes a rapper, and hes a singer, deal with it.
anteo alushi them drake fans in they feelings😂🤷🏾♂️
yea hes got wiggers and keyboard warriors as fans
The fact that 500k is considered slowing down is ridiculous
in relation to his other projects, it makes total sense
Jtucker18Videos This is a "playlist"...There was really no Promo,Single and Appearances to help Market it...Kendrick just released an single to help promote his new album
.how is going from 1 mil to 500k going to be considered anything else BUT slowing down? If you focus on numbers, it is slowing down. I do think there are other reasons for the drop in sales, but regardless he sold less. I'm not a drake hater, just a realist.
Jtucker18Videos no it was a short week translates to 580 which is similar to his mixtape IFRTITL. Along with his albums which did around 600K not to mention he broke every streaming record ever... Squashed Ed Sheeran an international pop sensation. Not a fall off...
it was a free playlist tho
100k is damn good. Props to Rick Ross
true Ross did like 50k on his last few projects.
ItsNewDon flop
Outsold Meek with no single
koo pow far from. Ross album is fire
Jose Arguello no single cuz none of them popped
I dont care about no sales rick ross shit was straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥
GCLipZTv rick ross album should have had more sales based off the material. his audience isnt as big as drakes like 95% of other rappers so should never be compared.
Mr C.O Ross
I think the 100k is a good look for Ricky.
H. Phillip me too
H. Phillip
Definitely. Especially considering how poorly his last album sold
Yea, not bad for a washed up, fat, overrated superstar who's better as a mid carder lol
Drake didn't even sell 505k. Most of those are his streams. Misleading video
Just saying they consider a certain amount of streams as one album sale since 2014 now
But nobody is factoring in the point that akademiks was responsible for 500k of those 505k sales
King Kwe W for you sir
Lmao W!
King Kwe L
mega w!
King Kwe impossible, he's broke
bruh he was promoting Views for 2 whole years before that shit dropped. Like it was a coming of Christ how can you compare the sales at all?
David TenderNuts facts
David TenderNuts That don't mean shit. promotion doesn't sell albums unless your a new artist. if you have a core fan base the size of Drakes you can mention the drop a week before and still sell what you sold last album. if you're a fan you would by the album as soon as you heard it was dropping. With social media your fans know instantly so there's no excuse. you think an artist's real fans are sitting there saying "oh wait, he's only promoted it for a week so I'm not buying it yet". The fact is he's lost fans because of the ghost writing saga!
500k in only 6 days
Hell yes that nigga had a video for promoting the shit and all
he had tv commercials for views too
Rick Ross got talked about for a minute.. The rest of the Video is about Drake
Jaqwon Scott #FACTS
what is there to say about ross??
typical akademiks
The reason why Drake has 505k is cause a shitload of Females always in they Feelings
Fundinqs major W.
Fundinqs I def been n my feelings since da day it dropped n the entire album is my LIFE MORE LIFE!!!!🌺🌺🌺🌺
Jaila Miller shitt rather you than me
Fundinqs LOOK AT MY VID AKADEMIKS IS A STAN
And it's not on UA-cam making people buy that shit ass album

Tupac Shakur More Life fucken sucked thank God I didn't pay for it
Tupac Shakur LOL
Tupac Shakur L
Tupac Shakur fuck u pac
Tupac Shakur L and L for liking pac who is trash
"Drake didn't have a big single"
Fake love?
Cheek Clapper 5000 That song was just a bad attempt at trying to make another Hotline Bling
Cheek Clapper 5000 Fake love is so trash I went Van Gogh style on my two ears. One of his worst songs honestly
Cheek Clapper 5000 fake love is fire 🔥 u crazy... bunch of haters ...
Alan Framboisier It's a bad song sure, but they still play the fuck out of it on the radio. Like that bullshit free song with Khaled from last year.
Cheek Clapper 5000 Fake love came out months before so it wasn't anticipated
By the way, Cole did 511k with no hype, no promo, no features. 1 tweet, zero iG posts.
TBL Production STOP LIEN ! He sold 492k
ohhyeahhbaby1 lol that's not far off
Sales don't make it better.
Drakes Target market is women and dudes who wear flip flops.
Nigga I wear crocs get it right
Bobby Manna I laughed madd hard, then came to realize that I wear flip flops 😩😩😩
Akademiks bought 504k out of that 505k
wutzeefuk L
wutzeefuk W
wutzeefuk that was actually funny
wutzeefuk u mean 505,499k lol
Martin Grant that's not how numbers work...
Akademiks is the type of nigga to eat his McDonald's with a knife and fork, off a glass plate.
Nameless Bum this shit was not funny
... With a big napkin tucked into his collar.
🆘
I'm not nobody's cheerleader, but dropping back to back albums (no pun intended) at 1,000,000 now 500,000 seems like a success
it is. this video even says that. he is saying that going from 1mil to 500k seems like a disappointment in comparison to one another.
Zuri - Solo Sniper no that's stupid cuz his normal projects usually drop 500-600k obviously after dropping an album that sold 1 mill it's going to drop what artist can drop back to back 1mill album
ZoeThree1 yeah they tripping bro I think he jus put this out for his fans to hold over while he take a break from the rap game, like his mom kinda advises in on one of his songs and he basically said that shit on "do not disturb" smh but okay dj ak
ZoeThree1 because the media force feeds you drake.
it is a success, nobody is arguing the sales but more so the quality of the overall project
Type in "The rage of DJ Akademiks" in the UA-cam search bar. 😂😂😂 who's mans is this?
Nigga wylin
I seen that shit the other day lol he tweakin
NONE OF THESE RAPPERS DIDNT DO SHIT FOR ME!
Meliodas L
Drake is a pop/r&b artist. Not a rapper. The charts need to label him as pop.
gabe newland he raps all of the damn time so wtf you mean hes not a rapper? he does it all
gabe newland he's a jack of all trades master on none
gabe newland If the words rhyme he's a rapper
Ogre Doug by your logic that means ed sheeran should be charted as a rapper then
So what did he do on back to back? 30 for 30 freestyle? Gyalchester? Free Smoke? Charged Up? KMT? Tuscan Leather? etc... stop trying to label him as just a sings bcuz he sings AND he raps and not just raps like all the rest of the artists in the game hes versatile thats why hes hated so much he does more than your favorite artist😂
500k No physicals Broke Streaming Records sheesh. Ross got 100k I'm happy for him that album was dope
And More Life was released on Saturday night eventhough the sales week starts on Thursday night. A very important fact that this fake news fraud doesn't mention.
rick ross the type of nigga to order a Big Mac at mcdonalds and say I want Extra Mac on it
DJ Akademiks W
DJ Akademiks Put 2 Vs together W
hahahahaha
DJ Akademiks L
rick ross the type of nigga to order mcdonalds eat whatever he ordered and go back and say he didnt get what he asked for in the bag
I'm not vouching for drake or anything but he's still the man doing great numbers. In this day and age, dudes is lucky to sell 100k at all, this man sells 500k in his first week, even if it's a flop by his standards he's still outselling most other rappers so I give it up to drake, this is his time.
Sean Ward man without streams this nigga only sold 230k that's a fucking flop. Streams is saving this dudes career
Drake called this a playlist.. why would you buy this? Lolololololololol fuck outta here.
Elite Soulfly first off I'm black chump not white, second you seem to think I'm co signing drake when I said in my first comment I'm not, I don't even like his music at all, but it's a lot of dudes hating on this man, why don't you put out a album since you so hip hop, see if it sell anything. It's funny I don't even listen to drake but like I said in the rap game rappers lucky to be selling at all, it's crazy that 100k is good first week sales, that would have been a flop back in the day before music became digital. Streaming is saving a lot of ppls careers because music in general ain't selling. These guys make their money now through streaming or straight touring.
J. cole outsold Drake basically
David Awonaike #FACTS
David Awonaike j coles album was WAY more hyped up
David Awonaike how much did Cole's album sell?
492k first week
Although some sources say 515
drake is kind of dumb for calling it a playlist. he set himself up to sell worse than he would have.
So basically J cole outsold drake 🤔 #ColeWorld
#KendrickUpNext
Day Vercetti he sold 490k, close but not close enough to outsell drake.
tony palafox HDD reported he sold 511k. I just read it. Either way tho. Still is crazy j cole is right there with a pop star while he's doin strictly rap and no singles.
Day Vercetti the difference is it only took Drake a week to do those numbers
Bryan Zequels exactly.
Nah.
Drake gets sells from the Canadians that live in the US, Rihanna fans, teenagers, and of course Dj Akademiks himself.
you can't compare rick ross to drake drake has a wider audience with all that crying he do where as rick ross music is for the street
soccer moms and kids from the burbs listen to drake. of course he will do numbers.
*skreet
So meek sells 80k first week for a free mixtape and you think it's "ehhh"? lol AK
WAG WAN I'ma meek fan but it wasn't free to stream it was
ThatsRollo it was free to stream on Mymixtapez
D B fr I didn't even know
ThatsRollo and datpif
You can find every album for free on the internet, people still buy albums in 2017..
Ross album was WAY Better. Drake just sells off his name smfh
No, Ross is 60% fat, 10% good rapper, and 10% social media publicist, and 20% label.. This nigga sucks
Balenci Aga ur a fuckin idiot open ur eyes u fool he is a sellout nd will regret it once he leaves this earth
No officer Ricky is 100% C O
@J.R ## (drake sells off his name) has to be the most simplistic and cop out take ,, Drake is a name brand like BMW and Mercedes you know they are going to be HITS/ bangers associated with him,,. Why are you putting Ross album against drake , drake lyrical content is nite and day to Ross.,, The stuff drake is rapping/singing about reach a FAR wider demographic who doesn't fuck with Ross like that.,, Drake is your 7 foot point guard while Ross is just another point guard.
J.R. Elgran truth
Is that ya mommas basement or Drake's basement ?
LIL B`s EVIL TWIN bruh u need more likes
LIL B`s EVIL TWIN L
I LOVE YOU L
does he really live in his mommas basement
Liyah Messiah Yeah
Dc4 was way different. There was no press run, no single, no releases date until like a few days before, no physical copies, it was available on all the free mixtape apps, and meek promoted it as a mixtape for months.
Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits that's why for a mixtape it's impressive numbers
DC4 is a classic.
If drake was a full dark skin black man he wouldn't be selling them numbers..
Luke TheRuler15 stop
Drake is only mainstream because he's light skinned and he acts white
Joe Bade how do you act white ?
Wayne sold 2 times 1million copy first week
Wayne sold a milli first week. TWICE. You on some bullshit. The shade of a rapper's skin doesn't affect sales. Wtf lmao. Drake does those numbers because he has pop appeal.
If drake was a pure rapper then that number would be impressive. JCole (pure rapper) sold almost as much. But this Nigga is a pop artist, R&B and a part time rapper. His sale potential is way higher than that.
WAG WAN ok so what pop artist doing them numbers?
GhouLingo [#1 Ghost writer] pop artists in general sell more
So you're knocking him for having a more diverse arsenal
WAG WAN Wayyy higher you hear about drake wayyyy more than jcole
Nathan Smith he's using it as a knock call a spade a spade. People only use the "Drake is a pop star" as a diss or backhand compliment. The dude is a rapper with crossover appeal. You can't go 100k is impressive for a rapper. But the rapper with crossover appeal and doing 5 times that on one platform isn't impressive. What he has to do 10 times the number for it to be called a great week? Come on that's ridiculous.
"I got a lot to say about Drake"
Akademiks the type of nigga to kiss yo cheek when he hug somebody
Rather you than me is a much better album better lyrically better production better cameos just a better body of work. More life is too commercial all over the place too many filler guest appearances
this video has the wackest comment section for akademik jokes. I came here to laugh. now I actually gotta watch the video
Demond 03 Take this W b/c I'm on the same page witcha on this 1...
rich Ross album was real RAP. Drake's was pop style.
Tamia Wells pop sound? he just versitile with his sound . alot of rap sound the sound so why not switch the style up and if they hate then let em hate and watch the money pile up .
It's still rap from a COP
drake is a pop star
Romy Taylor Gyalchester too
well Drake is a pop star so
500,000 is not bad, there's always going to be people downplaying your achievements
SniperKills100 no but 230k without streams is!!! Nigga only sold 230k the rest is from streams. That's terrible for drake
500k and dropped a whole day later with no hard disk??? 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Unknown Entity chill bruh it's just UA-cam 😂😂
Unknown Entity on a scale to 1-😡....how mad are you???
DJ Akademiks the type of nigga to tie his shoes without bending his knees while making eye contact with his homie.
Lmaooo. W
akademiks where the j cole review.... waiting on more life & rather you then me
AKADEMIKS bought more life like 100 times
And Drake shit weak to me. It's like 5 or 6 good songs. It felt like I was listening to a 2k soundtrack.
Elite Soulfly even with 20+ songs?
Drake knew this one wasn't going to be upto par with his old albums so he decided to call it a "playlist" instead of an album. Drake is doing this to himself with all that corny moves he was pulling with Rihanna and J-lo.
Or maybe the OVO sweatshop is shutdown for renovation so Drake decided to do the writing himself and that's why the quality is so bad.
Cham Rav no it's a playlist because the format it's in more like Ovo sound radio he had atleast 3-4 songs where he wasn't even on that's why it's not album you can't do that with a album
Ronnie Alston Shut your slow ass up
This is not a bad quality album wtf? May not be his best but its far from low quality😂
nah its shit lmaao
Cham Rav he's been calling this a playlist to his life since before he even pushed the album back the first time. Fuck is you talking about ? He literally described it as that WHEN more life was first announced. I swear ppl just say dumb shit. And more Life was better than views imo. Views is his weakest work to me.
Akademiks channel is the youtube version of an instagram Drake fan page
The decline of drake has started
sean24833 thought I was the only one
sean24833 I swear you people are ridiculous
Rick's Album Straight fire, if you haven't peeped lowkey recommend you do. More life's pretty dope to, but didn't like it until after the 2nd or 3rd listen
Malcolm Garndner i had to make a choice between the two when i heard they were both dropping,i chose ricky
rather you than me was a pretty good album tho. And drake more life was straight 2...
if you think the record label didn't buy some of those albums your crazy, that label is known for doing that and they admitted it lol
DGSOUND07 not just that label most labels
Ronnie Alston i totally agree no argument there
dj akademiks type of nigga that gives rapper info we like 2 hear
when drake tops Wayne record with 1.5 million sales in 1 week come talk to me
Even 2 years ago, it was a different time and age then when Wayne put out music
Ik it's years later but u know Views did top Wayne's numbers right?
Prince thaboi No views only did 1.05 mil
He said best numbers this year but April 7th y'all niggas better get your shit together lol drake ain't touching kendricks or j.coles shit sorry not sorry
RSGTV FAMILY Check out my new beat 🔥🔥🔥👌👀
Kendrick about to sell 700K april 7th
LiveLife 101 Check out my new beat bro
LiveLife 101 he will only get 700k cuz he's overhyped as shit.
Edgar Martinez false
Lmfao
LiveLife 101
Doubt it, he might touch 650k, I say he does 450k at most 1st week.
100K is a lot in 2017, but 505 after a 1M just last year... not bad but it's like if adele wasn't doing 5M a week anymore, people are getting tired of drake?
The numbers don't mean shit cuz Ross made a better album
B ST The nigga 41 yrs old, he was a CO from 19-21 nigga das 20 years ago 😂
Drake sold less than 200K in actual sells, and over 300K in streaming he didn't actually sell 505K 🙄
Leki Jolo he still got payed of streaming sells so it counts
MrJama1ca 😂😂😂😂
MrJama1ca of course your ass resort to saying that
Leki Jolo this playlist WASNT 4 SALE DUM ASS!!
And Rick didn't sell actually 100k. Your point?
yo gifs getting old akademiks
Ayo Dre not to me
Drake is NOT a fucking rapper!
That sound Dj Akademiks makes at 6:41 goes with the gif perfectly lmao.
I'm still waiting on akedimiks slime season 3 review
How drake said he doesn't want to take a brake because people might lose interest in him
I think people are losing interest in him because he doesn't take brakes now people are bored with his sound
Dj Akademiks the type of nigga to right his wrongs in cursive
6:42 😂😂 wtf
Anthony Cruz 😂😂😂😂
Anthony Cruz it matched what drake was doing in the gif as well...I'm sleep....lmfao
I think it's a playlist because it's not consistent, this Nigga is surfing thru genres in this project. if we had to be specific and give it a genre it'll be (culture vulture) just wait till gets his hands on an alien mixtape.
Rozay been on a wave lately. Happy for him
Cole world 🌎
L world
I still don't believe Drake sold 1 mil with Views. Birdman probably bought some units.
Pan Szyderka you dumbass nigga he had One Dance and Hotline Bling (the hottest records of 2016 and 2015)
LA FLAME lol i swear your comment had me dying
He got ghost buyers
P
Eminem is dropping a new album this year, with streaming he'll easily do a Million copies
not first week tho lmao
SaudOnMars he almost did a million last album too in the first week
No he didnt
Flop
Uhh i haven't even heard "Views" album yet .. fucc make u think ima run to listen to "More Life" 🤔 Ross album on the other hand is clutch af .. Real BAWSE music 💯💯
Eon Hardy real shit!
Wayne is the only rapper that could sell A Milli twice 💯
Tony Edwards too bad he wit birdman
didn't Eminem do the same
Tony Edwards it was a different time
Drake album fukin weak...Rick Ross album is fantastic facts
wat about them numbers tho....
dc4 was better than ross album shit was wack name one banger drake dropped a fucking mixtape an it sold better than dudes entire album....
PACtoBAC ai
Ross has no creativity, just a bunch of catchy beats and his lazy rapping on it.. Y'all Meek Mill fans
👍🏽👍🏽
dj akademiks the type of nigga to side with drake over kendrick
Jacob Rincon W
who cares if drake sold more rick ross album way way better
Akademiks finna go from Dj to Dr. Akademiks after writing his Doctorate on Drakes album sales 😂
U know ur here early when u can't see the 'akademiks the type of nigga... jokes'
Men lie women lie but the numbers don't
Like if you know where that is from
Puffy lz propa
“Niggas talking to me like im slowing down , opinions over statistics of course”.🤔
Views only sold a milly cause the hype. It was trash
Young Baller yeah.. it was completely because of the hype smh. He really let his fans down with it.
Young Baller it was not trash
AndrewS my nigga. .........it was trash
Wouldn't say trash but it wasn't good.
What did more life do without steaming 🤔
does it matter its 2017 lol
ChimeU95 L
ChimeU95 see THIS is the question that needed to be asked
its a playlist
malik Forbes Exactly, like who is buying CDs en masse in 2017!?!? Oh my bad, the guy who asked this question! Smh
DJ Akademiks was on hard drugs when He was recording this video...talking bad about the LOVE of his life...Drake !!
Rather You Than Me was a much better album... numbers don't mean shit to ppl who appreciate good work! Especially when you have the white media behind you making sure you win. Nevertheless Birdman is getting that bread!!
Lmaooo a reason drake got the numbers is Bc America be in their feelings n Shit 😹
Lmao akademiks having fun with the drake jokes
Akademiks lets not forget, Drake just broke a bunch of streaming record. Did J.cole or Kendrick do that? I'll wait.
you suck gambino yes
you suck gambino you have no life why you waiting for smh
lmao you got it bruh. Not finna argue with a nigga that got a android and color purple braids on their head smdh.
you suck gambino New trap beats on my channel
you suck gambino dude.. Drake is definitely falling off. just look at the quality of his music now? its gone way downhill! More Life sucks dick
Basically 500,000 is a flop for Drizzy
akademiks the type of nigga to wait for the green light on a single lane crosswalk
290k were actual sales out of that 505k lol the rest is just SoundCloud go plays
Ross Album Dope
when it comes to numbers, Drake and Kendrick/Cole are on different genres. Not levels. Kendrick and Cole aren't Pop, Drake is not Hip Hop.
LETS HELP KENDRICK GET TO 600K, LETS HELP HIM BEAT DRAKE
He never, ever will.
You're asking a lot, Kendrik is just a rapper, Drake dabs in a lot of popular mainstream stuff. That's why people get clowned if they say Drake is better just by the numbers.
Meeks Man spoken like a true fuck boy hater
Its the beginning of the end for drake, slowly getting played out...
Sammy the god you right
Lol false
Years later, WRONG BITCH
This is dope for Hip Hop!
But I wish R&B artists especially the new one's would sell near to 100K.
Quality over Quantity
Remember when tygas sold 1k in a week
Akademiks the type of Nigga to iron his clothes every morning
Drake dropped More Life on a Saturday so that's 1 day short of a full week and your numbers are off. The full count was 700,000 in 7 days. And the hard copy will start selling March 31st. So in 2 months More Life will be platinum and sell 1,000,000.
W
Thomas Darya bro they wait 7 days then do a review .. hahaha
Thomas Darya and the first week numbers only matter for the first week numbers
You can't take next months sales
Or when it comes out as hard copy
Just 7 days
500,000, sorry about your idol
Thomas Darya don't forget that it came out late in the day too
Elite Soulfly wtf is your dumb ass talking bout? He did 504,609k and ONLY 230k without streams. Basically streams saved his life cause without them it would've been a major flop!!! Lmao
