Agreed, but you gotta give em both their dues. Niggas were brave to drop alongside her unlike the pussies that strategically drop when no one else is. I ain't pointing no elbows at Hov or Ross though...

And even though I dislike the album, it's still fucked up that Sandy hurt Meek's sales. Warner really can't hold that shyt against him in this case... Shyt that would be like white folks blaming Obama for the shape the country's in when he was already dealt a bad hand...




wait...

so dudes blaming natural weather for a mediocre rapper not selling too well

MadSirius

Sandy didn't push Meeks album back when he was hot. I expected these excuses

Stopitfive

If Sandy was an issue, his sales should continue...
And I doubt him and Swift share a fan base... So what she does shouldn't matter...

gns

pretty good.
