The boy was mad that Kendrick broke his record last month and dropped this Nevermid album to be first place again. All according to plan
barely
It’s not a rap album

When his stans started making excuses for it then yes 100%
Now what
Was it cope when kendrick did 300k with a rap album his fans waited 5 years for?
*With a rap album that has less pop songs than Honestly Verymid
You're forgetting the most important part
There’s so much great music out there that theres almost FOMO if you listen to one project too long.
Interested to see if the death of monoculture affects how much effort major artists put into studio albums down the road
I don’t even know if it’s that necessarily. Feels more like “I was a part of this moment, time to move on.”.
Most of the people who do these drop offs don’t strike me as the type who listen to music particularly in depth. It’s background noise to A LOT of people.

That’s fair
Just curious, who would you describe as not background music or having music that caters to an in-depth crowd
Lmao now the new cope is "these sales don't count its a house album" you cant make this stuff up papis angels the gift that keeps on giving 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s not a rap album
yeah I mean how does that say disprove from my original point. When even the biggest rapper out there moved onto the next genre. The next generation of hip hop artist are either dead or in jail. Carti is fire but still far from mainstream especially hit wise.
Meanwhile Bad Bunny and Hary Styles are the biggest artists of that year so far
Hip hop is just not the most popular genre like the years before
Sales aside we should feel blessed to live in this era
Kanye is a visionary artist
Drake is an anthem mastermind
J cole
Kendrick is a genius
And they stay doing their thing
aint no sales aside in the sales thread. drake flopped

This flop was a blessing for Drake. He can now keep making the music that he wants without worrying about the numbers.
