Huge bmass FanI’m a Drake fan. It’s just wild to me how Drake stans arbitrarily choose situations and numbers when it looks good for Drake but then totally ignore those same rules in a situation where it doesn’t look good for Drake.
And speaking of biggest artists, who decided that first week sales is what decides that? Drake doesn’t even have a best selling album (total sales) in the top 40 of the 2010s.

thegreatdivineMore Life only had 5 tracking days and 0 physicals available. With a full tracking week, that doesn't happen lol.
LMAO it dropped on a Saturday Night during Spring Break too. DAMN had a much cleaner rollout + a drake diss before the album drop + bundles to get to that 603k

Drake was artist the decade for the 2010’s.
Views and TC eligible for 7x platinum
It’s not 40 more albums that sold over 6 million. Views sold like 14M WW- Sep 8, 2021
"im not racist i have a black friend" is not tu quoque lmao. that person you replied to's post could be depending on context, maybe thats what you meant
anyways thats a wild and stupid comparison. your goofy ass sits on KTT everyday so you probably started confusing racism with not liking drake, I get it

FreightI’ve never seen a single Drake fan try to compare the sales of Views and untitled unmastered even though they released less than two months apart. Everybody knows it’d be stupid to compare an album to a side project
Kendrick fans losing their minds to DAMN's first week sales only exposed that they'd been down bad about Drake outselling everyone and have secretly been hoping that Kendrick also put up numbers.
Kendrick has sold above 400K first week ONCE. Drake has done it SEVEN TIMES. CLB will make it EIGHT TIMES. How anyone is comparing Kendrick to him because ONE album did well still blows my mind. They're not in the same league.
Drake dropped twice in 2015, once in 2016, once in 2017 and once in 2018 and debuted with massive numbers every time. Kendrick has to disappear for 3/4 years after every album to build up hype again.
I'm not even trying to talk down on Kendrick because his run of albums from Section.80 - DAMN. is flawless to me. I still listen to each of those albums religiously till this day and I can't wait for his next album. I'm just saying that the rap world was so tired of Drake that they tried to use DAMN. and Kendrick's performance that year to push a narrative that Drake was done, but the facts are that:
1. Drake outstreamed Kendrick globally in 2017.
2. Drake outstreamed Kendrick in the U.S. in 2017.
3. They both scored 2 top 10 hits in 2017.
4. Overall, globally, Drake was the bigger act in 2017.But the narratives painted a different picture. I have never and will never compare Kendrick to Drake commercially because Drake has been dominating for way longer and has simply done too much compared to him.
They're both GOATs in their own right and no one does what they do individually better than the next person but the Drake disrespect has gone on for far too long. Kendrick gets his flowers every second of every day while Drake gets nothing despite outdoing him and everyone else at every turn. S*** is wack and unfair.

You got it twisted, man. It’s the other artists (and their fans) who claim numbers don’t matter when Drake outsells them.

Idk what he talking about, drake got about 5 albums that will be 5x platinum or better. Scorpion gotta be over 6M by now. CLB will go 5-6x platinum once drake start pushing singles.

If you do a breakdown of their careers based on numbers, the gap between Drake and his peers is unfair. He has even surpassed all the rappers that came before him. The only thing he doesn't have yet is a Diamond album and he'll have like 4-5 of those by the end of the decade.

DAMN. had CDs/vinyls/cassettes ready to go the week it dropped. There was also a bundle package. It was also Kendrick's first album since TPAB so the hype was insane. He definitely deserved that first week and it was super impressive but people tried to make it like Drake was DONE and Kendrick had now officially taken over and that was confusing as hell.

Sep 8, 2021Huge bmass FanLike I said, nonstop excuses no matter what. It’s real delusion.
If Kendrick outsells CLB, you’ll say well CLB didn’t really have a single or a rollout so it doesn’t count.
Ok, so no
thanks
Sep 8, 2021·1 replyCriticBait MusicHe outsold Drake that’s why. Context was immediately thrown out the situation. Context makes the More Life-DAMN FW comparisons look so dumb. Even Rosenberg was saying Kendrick finally took the lead against Drake off the strength of DAMN
Damn (no pun intended) but this is really blowing my mind.
The whole time I genuinely thought he sold 385K copies w/ no bundles.
He would have to sell 300K copies right now and have the 2nd most streams ever to hit 600K. Donda didn't even hit 400mil with 27 songs.

I think Kendrick could touch 500M streams just off hype but it really depends on the kind of music he comes with.
