If DAMN had bundles then why is everyone gassing him so much?
I remember seeing that 353K and thinking that he fanbase was ULTRA dedicated. If half of that was bundles let's say then what do you think will happen in 2021/2022?
Even Taylor Swift did 154 no bundles. And we know even a mind bending 600 million streams alone still doesn't give you 600K fw.
Look at this guy. Smart as f***.
I'm looking at your biggest streaming weeks thread rn and I just can't see that happening. And he would also have to put out at least 18 songs.
B&B had two #1 hits on before the album came out. I can see it doing around there w/ the hype but not 500.
They saying βHe did this without physicalsββ¦ Like any rapper has put out physicals since bundling ended
Excuses goin crazy right now

J Cole did
Kanye did
Kendrick is
Brain cells are missing in you
This a W. Sales are down, he had no singles. He broke records with it, but tbh i think he is going down from here in terms of sales
sounds familiar
Look at this guy. Smart as f***.
I'm so tempted to find my posts ITT. I remember coming with similar facts lol
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.
TGD posts always hitting harder in hindsight
People will realize how insane Drake's numbers are once Kendrick returns after four years and still won't outsell CLB

You just had to account for Kendrick dropping bad music, this was a good guess though
