can we agree that putting an older song/single on an album is, in fact, different than updating your album once it has already been released? can we do that at least? because that's the base of the discussion not all this other s***.
That's why bringing up the Hotline Bling/Views example was always stupid. Drake has never added a song to an album AFTER the the album's release, which is what Kendrick did and why fans are mad that people are calling it out.

Nah because streaming didn’t even make up most of the market at that time
It was just a hot single that catapulted the albums era so it was added as a bonus track
In 2016? If you say so pimp I feel you lol

Streaming had already taken off by late 2015. Stop revising history.
Heart 5 is more gripping than most songs on this album tbh I ain’t tryna hate either I was hoping for the album to really expand on 5
If it were a promotional single then he wouldn’t have said “this is off views from the 6”
the song flopped and he removed it from the album. That’s okay and many artists have done the same.
nah promo singles are on albums too. think god's plan/nice for what (lead) and i'm upset (promo)

If you don't have proof of all these things you keep claiming he said, then shut the f*** up. One Dance/Pop Style were confirmed as singles off Views before the album dropped. Nothing like that ever happened with Summer Sixteen because it was never a lead single. It was a promotional single.

Views did 150k in streams first week lmao
800k+ in pure sales
Don't let the woke raps or Stake giveaways fool you, neither Kendrick or Drake care about any of you
All them equivalent examples don’t help s*** and just prove that niggas bringing this up for more flame wars.
Everybody that was there knows that s*** was a throwaway that got mad big and was tacked on as a bonus for stream purposes, that was actually a criticism towards the album lol.
It’s just a case of “my fave can do it but yours can’t”
Lol
Dumb post because no one would have pointed this out if Kendrick dropped this as part of the album the week it dropped. He's adding it to the album 2 weeks later. How you don't see the difference between what he did and what Drake did is what makes you stupid.
he saw that 85k second week and panicked to get more streams
this probably isn’t true but the image of that is so genuinely hilarious

They’re both disingenuous it’s just different shades of “cheating the game” and that’s why it’s hilarious.
And these niggas don’t care if it’s different so Idek why we acting like mfs itt discussing s*** in good faith cuz if the Heart had been a Hotline Bling situation niggas still wouldn’t clowned it
how did drake not get s*** on for jacking cha cha from DRAM for hotline bling
i swear when he first posted that s*** on soundcloud he named it “Cha cha remix” then changed it i could be trippin tho
Hotline bling was on the tracklist with the initial album drop
Heart part 5 is being added after the album dropped and underperformed
He's too dumb to know the difference. Said a whole bunch of nothing for no reason.

fair enough on your last sentence lol

No, it hadn't. The most streaming was adding to albums in 2015 was 20-30k units.
