I mean, M.I.A. also has a single bigger than any Nas single. You're just manufacturing the "singles" category because it allows you to hate.
Because Nas' albums actually sell fairly well by rap standards, and album sales are the far more important financial metric if we are going to put finances into the equation at all
I mean, we can also subtract points because he got divorced if it allows you to hate properly.
