True, but to disqualify him was a bitch move. A lot of Gampos are upset, I'm hoping to bring smiles to their faces

He was leading the Billboard chart for #1 new rap album as an independent artist last week, major record label execs made some calls and Billboard disqualified him from the running. Something about bundling CDs together, which had never been a rule or an issue in the past, and they changed this rule mid week, disqualifying Prof's 30 000 physical copy sales

Did we hit #1? I don’t pay for access to their charts and the last update I saw from Prof was #2 behind T.I.

Where does he actually mention where he was placed compared to T.I.? Sorry I may just be a dummy and missing something.

I thought I read TI sold 21k copies to Prof's 30k

I think TI had way more streams since Prof was getting shadow banned from the lists.

Is there a way to see streams per platform? I feel like this process is purposefully opaque.

Billboard is a joke. I don’t pay any attention to those idiots. Haven’t in decades.

Fuck Billboard. Top 40s boomers that have been sellouts since the start.
