The new album, which was released on the rapper's website a week before it hit streaming platforms, shot to No. 2 on the iTunes charts upon its broad release, behind only Post Malone. That's not Billboard, of course, but it shows that the rapper still has a dedicated audience, to whom the quality of the new music might be less important than their ongoing loyalty".
