Joey Bada$$ & Troy Ave Throw Subs at Each Other Over Album Sales

Two of New York's hottest upcoming rappers had Twitter on fire after the they were caught taking subliminal shots at one another.
Yesterday Brooklyn natives Joey Badass and Troy Ave came at each other over album sales and who the best independent artist is between themselves. About two weeks ago Troy Ave - a.k.a. Mr. "Major Without a Deal" - addressed the fact that he had only sold 7,708 copies of his latest album in its first week, and claimed that despite the low numbers, he's on "the #1 independent label in the streets." Apparently Joey Bada$$ - who released "B4.DA.$$" back in January - caught wind of the comment and decided to tweet out a friendly "reminder" that he "sold 57,000+ albums in his first week," making him the "#1 Independent Hip Hop artist/brand in the world."
A few hours after Joey tweeted out his stats, Troy Ave went on to talk about about a "fake independent" rapper whose had "NO single, NO party hosting's [and] NO real endorsements." Take a look at both of their tweets in the gallery and let us know who you feel is the better artist between the two below.
