Considering the beef

Not like us eclipsing it's OG purpose

Superbowl

Promo has already started without officialy starting

Damn doing 600k with the master class of that roll out makes me think this can crack 700+

Assuming he drops after Superbowl, but he might do it before

I think he drops after if I had to guess

5 months

He will give us maybe 2-3 songs between then

It kinda lines up?

That’s not really a concern though, because Kendrick isn’t ever going to drop.

Tim Cook is going to make sure he drops

he should do it before cause superbowl performance boosts music streams

If Kendrick dropped it during the peak of his beef against Drake, I could vision it doing 600k fw but now given how cooked rap album sales are at the moment, I'm leaning towards 400k-500k fw

As a huge Drake fan anything short of 1.7m is a flop for midrick

Kfc, pizza, or Wendy’s

KFC

Depends on the pizza

thats it?

reminded me of that one big back song singing bout food 😭😭

Exactly.

450k fw is about the highest a rapper can go these days even with bundles and Kendrick hype isn't as intense as it was during the summer.

Only way I can see Kendrick possibly getting above 450k is if he includes NLU as the lead single.

But doing that can be a double edged sword because it'll make it seem like Kendrick is desperate for sales or needs a Drake diss to create buzz for his next album. So, even if he does big numbers going that route, it won't look good in hindsight.

Overall, though, I think the whole sales aspect is weird and lame to begin with. Kendrick will likely drop a much better album than FATD and 100 GBs and that's all that really matters.

Sometimes I wonder if Kendrick absorbing some ex-Drake fans after the beef is why the numbers talk is overshadowing the quality talk these days.

Yep.

And what's insane is that I can literally snitch and name drop the very same people who went from singing the praises of certain rappers and albums a few years ago to trashing them like crazy and acting like they were hardly ever fans of them in 2024.

I'm not a snitch but seeing it play out or revisiting old threads that I used to post in makes it especially egregious. It's like niggas only like rappers that are "safe" or "cool" to like atm but will disregard them as soon as they're no longer "safe/cool" to like anymore.

I am amazed OP didn’t just trash the thread after this

A 14 page thread isn’t worth that

am i crazy for thinking he doing a milli, especially if he does some bundle scheme

the fifth reply gonna outsell kdot album

Bundles? Would be embarrassing if he did that

Drake lives

They act like 2 legends cannot coexist

Prophet?
