The Darkest AngelNo one wants to admit they thought he'd do 600k-700k because of DAMN now that the numbers weren't even close to that
This thread was pretty fair + objective and ultimately was spot on
Anyone who's mad at op because Kendrick didn't sell as much hasn't been paying attention to the way Billboard has changed streaming the past 5 years
All you gotta do is go through the first few pages of this thread to see how many people legit thought he'd match/outdo DAMN's numbers lol.

He got 7. You are shooting for a point that's not there
Bro talking down on the net about a man who’s occupying the entire top 50 of billboard with his album 🤣 you can’t make it up. the internet isn’t real

Also drake has time and time again made it so EASY for every other artist to come close and they always fail. I’m starting to think he does it on purpose. It’s embarrassing lmaoo

Its insane. And its the same few people in here that come around every Drake cycle. But 🤫 lol
It's always the same people lol. I'm almost always right in what Drake's numbers will be. I said HNVM would be lucky to do 200k after I heard the album and I said FATD would do around 400k when I heard the album. I can make those projections for Drake and not be a hater but I did for Kendrick once and that makes me a hater lol.

shaleiroseEspecially when certain Drake stans never “temper expectations” in their own fanbase, niggas was in here before the album drop convinced he was gonna occupy the entire Top 10 on the Hot 100
yeah, now if you made a thread based around posts on here of how people were saying he was going to occupy the top 10, and how you thought he wasn’t
then he doesn’t and you’re in the thread celebrating, people are gonna look at you like you’re weird, and rightfully so
it’s just a strange thing to do
it would be completely different if this thread existed before the Kendrick album

Go to the first few pages of this thread and see how many people legit thought he'd at least match DAMN's numbers off sheer hype without any consideration to how the music marketplace had changed since 2017 in regards to pure sales. That's why I explained why it wouldn't happen but I guess that makes me a Kendrick hater 🤷
Lmao fr. Like you can literally go on the first pages of this thread and see what most of the site thought Kendrick was gonna do. And niggas trying to play dumb like we made up the unrealistic expectations

But wait.. if you say this album won’t sell like CLB bc the less features and less rap.. you’re a d***rider for stating facts lmao. Even with HNVM they were trying so hard to say it was a flop when it was a literal left field surprise drop dance record. And they will still bring those numbers up when showing his “decline.”

yeah, ‘cept the thing is Kendrick’s fanbase isn’t even the type to hype up and talk about sales like that in the first place
they’re constantly stereotyped as “real hip hop fans” and “pretentious” or whatever the hell else, i don’t see where sales stanning fits into this picture for the token boy of rap hipsterism
y’all need to pick a narrative, you can’t have your cake and eat it too
Damn who was the fanbase that was hyping damn outselling more life first week.
Couldn't be Kendrick fans. They real hiphop🤓

Classic Midrick fans
Aside from being pretentious as hell and thinking they are superior just for listening to him, they bleed out of their a******s in a childlike fit of rage if you even consider saying that his albums aren’t 10/10, he won’t go platinum first week, etc. Pretty sad stuff!
HOLY F*** NOW THATS A FIRST PAGE POST

Now it's a strange thing to do but a minute ago, it meant I was blatantly hating on Kendrick and started up this thread for the express purpose of hating on him. Which is it?

Drake stans seem pretty tempered. They're numbers people, they know how streams are shrinking in Billboard's formula every year. It's telling when everyone in here pearl clutching for the past week about Drake possibly "flopping" weren't the Drake stans but instead his biggest critics on ktt.
That's why the only people who aren't confused by his success are his stans. FATD streamed more than Her Loss and it sold less but they knew to expect that beforehand
What Kendrick stans didn't understand is that DAMN came out when Billboard embraced streaming and pure sales were still hanging on to it's last legs. MMABS didn't have that luxury as well as Kendrick's hiatus hurting and not helping him, they thought he was Frank Ocean when he's simply not and that Blonde hype can't be recreated
