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.
