Vince Staples is definitely a B to B+, maaaaaybe A-. The Meek is like B- to B. Good projects with different problems, both are inconsistent in different ways.
Numbers are as unsurprising as possible. Meek that dude who's been doing a good job at building a solid, core fanbase to eat off of and rap heads write it off and get surprised when he puts up numbers. Same thing with Wale and CuDi and numerous others, rap heads could give a fuck less but few artists have had that album-to-album sustainability. CuDi shit out Satellite Flight as his last release and in the first week dwarfed all but maybe 10 people in the game put up regularly.
