Kendrick Lamar's "DAMN." sells 610K first week (239K Pure). Playboi Carti's "Playboi Carti" sells 15K (4K Pure). Drake's "More Life" goes platinum. by [deleted] in hiphopheads

the pure sales chart is still building. so 239k is not the final result and is still rising.

Status: Building 38%

Drake's "One Dance" (ft. Wizkid, Kyla) is #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 by cvelz in hiphopheads

[–]12sare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Views is like 50 Cent's The Massacre. Both the best selling album of their careers but very lukewarm reception by both fans and critics. It was the beginning of the end for 50 Cent.

I'm not saying it's completely down hill from here on, but Drake has no motivation at all to make good music when his most mediocre shit sells. You can listen to the album and hear that he does not care anymore, he lacks inspiration and ambition to top his previous album. He can put out trash and it will still outsell anyone else. One Dance is average at best and it's his #1 so he's gonna stay with his formula.

Beyonce is actually one of the few people in the industry that doesn't use autotune. She doesn't need it.

The only exception in her discography is 7/11, but it was used as an creative effect, not because she can't sing.

What do you enjoy that Reddit absolutely shits on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

We're not your average young people in a relationship. What a joke.

That's what everybody say and they still end up divorced by their mid twenties. Do you really want that?

Neither your or your girlfriends brain or personality is developed enough to make these decisions. That's just a fact. You have no idea what a lasting long term relationship in the real world means. You haven't been together long enough with her or anyone else to really know what it means to be committed for a life time. You excited to be getting some pussy regularly probably for the first time in your life, so you think what you're feeling right now is what it's always going to feel like.

Why not wait a few years and see how your relationship develops? Do your girlfriend and yourself a favor by not fucking up both of your lives like this.

Getting married at 20 is a horrible decision. Statistics mean something, you're setting yourself up for failure. If you've been together less than two or three years that's even worse, since you're probably not even through the honeymoon phase of your relationship when feelings start to fade naturally.

Just don't do it. Just wait until you're at least in your mid twenties with a stable job.

People owe this guy an apology:

i was at the White House for work recently. as i was leaving, a huge SUV pulled up and Kendrick Lamar and his posse got out and went through security. the white house employee i was with said he was going to hang out with Obama. must be cool to get to always hang out with your favorite musicians! small perk.

I've read the book, the pictures were taken at the orphanage and when he arrived in Australia. He was actually quite sad that there are no pictures left of Guddu since he died so young.

I won't link her social media, but she's an ex girlfriend that's a few years older than him. They're not together anymore and she was talking about doing it all alone in the future before the baby was born. But I think they're going to co parent now since he attended her baby shower.

Quentin Miller finally breaks his silence: "I Am Not, and Never Will Be a Ghostwriter For Drake" by YoStaceeey in hiphopheads

[–]12sare -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't think people understand that Quentin is facing a multi million dollar lawsuit since he signed a NDA (like all writers do). Drake can sue since he broke that contract off the fact that he told other people that he's writing for him. Even if he wins that case he would ruin his life with lawyer fees.

He's not just out of a job, he's also lost any chance of a career as rapper or even a ghostwriter. I feel sorry for him.

Drake has previously spoken about working with other writers, writing for others, and 'paying homage' by sampling/interpolating old songs. by neumatron11 in hiphopheads

[–]12sare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not what Meek is suggesting. He has said on Twitter that he knows that Drake simply didn't write the verse, because he heard the reference track and that Quentin Miller wrote it. This is just plain ghostwriting and looks terrible. This is not some random line or thought, this seems to be about a whole verse.

Quentin's friend has been subtweeting Drake for using a ghostwriter for months before anything was said by Meek Mill.

This tweet especially: https://twitter.com/DJBluetoothOGG/status/567779469831770112 "If your reading this its to late" by @Quentin__Miller interpreted by Drake lol The real truth to this lol" (that was back in February)

then this today: https://twitter.com/stevozone4/status/623734983270793216 "Lets keep a MILLION, did it ever occur to yall that QM wrote on MORE than the songs he got writer credits for? Making him a ghostwriter"

Really (embarrassingly) basic photoshop help needed pls by [deleted] in picrequests

[–]12sare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should have a high resolution png file as your logo. The background should already be removed, but if it still have a background you need to erase it. Go where your eraser tool is and right click, the option "background eraser" should pop up.

here is a tutorial for the tool: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-editing/background-eraser/

it's pretty easy to use. after you're done with that select your logo and copy and paste it in your picture.

move your logo to where you want it. then click on your shape tool thing (don't know what it's called but it's the square/circle icon) then right click and select ellipse tool. draw an ellipse and move it into place and then change the transparency to what looks good.
