Anytime 21 Savage, Lil Yatchy and anyone who might not have been born in Atlanta but are associated with the sound drops a 5 songs one of them or more hits 10 million views. Future, 21 Savage and Migos drop songs as well as Gucci Mane and it is guaranteeing millions of views.

Their are multiple artists dropping songs today that get 10 million views that non of you guys have likely heard. Like everyday you can stumble across an artist that routinely is putting up 10 million + views per song that.

I hadn't heard about Russ till this year, and this dude has at least ten songs with 10 million views. Gucci Mane likely has more songs with 10 million views than Eminem does. If you look at the guys with 100 million views in the last 5 years besides one hit wonders (in terms of New Artists) New York is nowhere on the list besides Cardi B.

This whole thread just turned into another "Who's better, Lebron or MJ?" debacle.

Life after death was released after he died, hence the work "pothumously."

No artist from NYC has had an album that went diamond lived to celebrate that album's success. Only Oakland, Detroit, and Atlanta can claim that.

True but you have a weird arbitrary standard. Does it really matter that Biggie didn't go diamond before he passed away (his album released after his death)? Going by your strange standards, you would disregard the life after death album sales in it's entirety. Also, all eyes on me didn't reach diamond until 2pac died as well. I'm not sure where you're going with your logic. Are you trying to say that the artists death boosts the album sales automatically?

It wasn't weird when you thought Biggie made the cut.
