If Kendrick was as desperate for sales as y’all pretend he is then the physical CDs that were literally in target before the album dropped would’ve went on sale immediately.

Like yeah you can criticize Kenny but the s*** y’all going at him for is so minor it’s hilarious. Niggas can’t talk down on the music (I know some of you papi angels niggas ain’t listen fr) so they nitpick at whatever little thing they could lol.

It’s funny because if he really wanted to capitalize off the streams of Heart 5, he would and could of added it when the album initially dropped

block and refresh

lmao this is nothing compared to what chance/roddy/logic went through over the last few years

even the J Cole hatred back in 2016-2019 was waaay worse than this

what??? the f***??? are you talking about??????

Kendrick lost for trying to get more streams and Drake lost for having an insufferable fan base

If the heart was a new track and an actual mainstream type song you can say he tryna add sales but if you think the heart is going to help him in ANY way you’re an idiot.

This is a completely different situation then all of those lol

Especially two weeks after the album came out lmao

Actually Kendrick gets less scrutiny than almost every rapper ever lmao. He got unlimited d*** riders

Must suck to have to pull desperation gimmicks for extra sales because the music alone couldn’t hold peoples attention

Drake also added hotline bling as a bonus song on Views btw lol

Drake stans are the reason the music discussion on here sucks. Take Dawn FM for example. There are some nice discussions to be had surrounding why people didn’t like it as much as after hours but they boiled it down to “uhhh flop???”. They are what’s wrong w this site

If he was desperate for sales he would have had CDs, vinyls and preorders ready and had a proper rollout

He also would have made a more commercial album.

These people are beyond dumb and don’t even listen to or like music.

Target had CDs arrive at stores the week the album dropped. They only went on sale today

When Kendrick threw away his artistic integrity and added Heart 5 to the album is you still a fan?

alot of u niggas were WAITING on kendrick to slip up. 10+ years of flawless career it’s no surprise they’re going so hard on him, they might never get this chance again

No no no it’s different you don’t get it

I actually feel sorry for some of these folks

a legend for sure but flawless? everything after UU has been a massive flaw on his legacy.

I never said that and in that thread, I never said Jack was bigger, I asked a question of if Jack had the potential to match Lil Baby commercially. I made the thread off the performance of First Class. I have multiple posts in here stating clearly that I think Lil Baby is still ahead of everyone in his generation but I was intrigued in the possibility of Jack matching that. That's all that was.

Also, this is why Kendrick stans are the worst. Imagine thinking that because no one has ever criticized Kendrick, it must be fake the first time it happens. No one here hates Kendrick (in the sales thread I've posted MULTIPLE times about GKMC being one of my favorite albums and how I grew to love TPAB), no one here is even talking down on Kendrick as a rapper or musician. All people have done is dare to say they don't like his latest album and clown his numbers (which everyone here does for every major commercial artist who they feel underperforms) and y'all have been acting like people said they were going to attack Kendrick and his family.

Drake and Cole get clowned on here almost every f***ing day and you're always in on the fun but people can't even say their honest opinions about Kendrick's latest album without being attacked and being colled stupid or having low IQs. It's really pathetic.
