Kanye West no longer has a record label.

In fact, he struggled to get his Vultures album distributed.

Nevertheless, the project has topped the Billboard album chart for two weeks in a row.

It's the first independent rap album to get two weeks at number one since 1995 when Bone Thugs-N-Harmony E. 1999 Eternal did so without major label help.

It's also the first Kanye record to score multiple weeks at number one in 13 years.

Who needs a label?
