[OFFICIAL] THE FUNERAL (Appreciation/Discussion)

[ceb420]

im not questioning his influence
im questioning his current influence
waynes first solo studi was 1999 - same as Em - theyve been able to compete for years so why cant they now
actual sales / streams he still gets paid. And the lower numbers mean hes gettung paid less
they arent good numbers for someone of waynes level

quality of music is subjective and can be debated. Obviously theres alot of love here since its a wayne forum but it is not a repersentation of what the public thinks. The general public feels mixed about this album and the numbers are showing it will probably be forgotten by the public in a few weeks. Sad to see someone who controlled the mainstream fall to that

I guess I'll say this again...

Eminem is white. He has tons of WHITE fans in America that aren't really that into hip hop. He's essentially a pop star. I would argue that Wayne is also somewhat of a pop star, but he doesn't have the same amount of mass appeal.

Ehh I mean even if ur arguing his current influence... U can't say he's not influential cause he's not doing as much sales as em u know. Like maybe u are more influential or whatever u call it but he can still be influential without doing ems number

Edit... Or I should say he's still influential even doing 110k the sales don't really matter imo for Weezy inlfience on ppl cuz he'll always be influencing ppl

and yet he outsold kamikaze first week
And recovery vs c4 , wayne won again

yes wayne got blown outta the water with IANAHB2 vs MMLP2 but ems numbers have died down and he shluld be able to compete

His current music doesnt have influence or pull is what im saying
it does not resonate with the people

[Wizzle]

Outta thanks but thanks 🥰

also when c5 dropped and sold more than thugs entire career at that point HQ was having a field day
Keep that same energy

I remember that There not keeping the same energy right now after the projection sales came in it’s crazy how right now wayne is a meme on ktt Wayne stans on there were calling Eminem album a “flop” now it backfired

I disagree bro

[Blu]

253 vs 217 - thats competitive (in the same league)

ianahb2 was one of best (top 10) first weeks the year it dropped
its pretty early to say but i doubt this will be

Also why are we comparing Queen with Funeral when C5 and Queen came out the same year?

Anyway i realize im on a wayne forum so obviously the opinions here will moreso be pro wayne
i hope you all enjoy the album - just voicing how it looks

Can't compare Tha Carter albums (especially CV which had YEARS of hype and promotion) to an album that was officially announced a week before it dropped. Yeah he first HINTED at it in 2016 but no one other than the die hards knew about that and there wasn't any real promotion until the week before.

The Drink Champs interview was great other than the FUCKING GARBAGE audio, but it still would've been more beneficial to go on JRE or something bigger to promote the album.

Em's music resonates with suburban white kids and Ye's newest resonates with republicans and christians. Who cares lol

I doubt wayne really cares. CV did the numbers.

This is a more experimental project that they didn't spend much on the features and promotion and are still gonna have decent sales from.
