Not for me

Top album of the year for me personally

when the balenciaga rocking egomaniac who rants about what type of button he wants on his dinner jacket for 6 hours sells more than you

Not saying it's a complete mainstream album

But Idk n95, die hard, purple hearts, rich spirits, savior(maybe) silent hill are pretty accessible songs

Y’all better pray Carti don’t outsell

the second you start hearing people talk about a body of music in terms like this.... you know nobody is going back to that s***

Songs like Yah, Lust, XXX, Pride, Fear were “weird” too but he still managed to make them s***s enjoyable. This time around he came back with WEAK music

have you ever cared about anything significant yourself other than what brand of hot sauce drake uses for his condoms

I agree but the way the songs are structured and the way he does some of the verses on their is a bit different than others

I don’t think he’s there yet but I could wrong

WLR is a cult classic

@thegreatdivine chances those numbers from Ak just the streaming totals with no pure sales added? Seems like it

The bar you holding it to is Donda which was the second peak of ye career and had some of the greatest promo oat lmao

some of y'all bout to be even more annoying then y'all already were

Donda 2 would do a cool 250 if it dropped properly

Yooooooooooo 😂

Kendrick need to drop again.. f*** it

I'ma still be listening to this daily for a while anyway

Only reason I say him is bc he’s one of the only ones that continually is trending upwards

I could see it happening next album fr

Donda listening parties was lowkey some masterclass on promotion and staying relevant

ye is a genius for a reason

Kanye West, Hurricane: mmm mmm hmm mm mm

Kendrick Lamar, Mother I Sober:
I was never high, I was never drunk, never out my mind
I need control, they handed me some smoke, but still I declined
I did it sober sittin' with myself, I went through all emotions
No dependents, except for one, let me bring you closer
Intoxicated, there's a lustful nature that I failed to mention
Insecurities that I project, sleepin' with other women
Whitney's hurt, the purest soul I know, I found her in the kitchen
Askin' God, "Where did I lose myself? And can it be forgiven?"
Broke me down, she looked me in my eyes, "Is there an addiction?"
I said "No," but this time I lied, I knew that I can't fix it
Pure soul, even in her pain, know she cared for me
Gave me a number, said she recommended some therapy
I asked my momma why she didn't believe me when I told her "No"
I never knew she was violated in Chicago, I'm sympathetic
Told me that she feared it happened to me, for my protection
Though it never happened, she wouldn't agree
Now I'm affected, twenty years later trauma has resurfaced
Amplified as I write this song, I shiver 'cause I'm nervous
I was five, questioning myself, 'lone for many years
Nothing's wrong, just results on how them questions made me feel
I made it home, seven years of tour, chasin' manhood
But Whitney's gone, by time you hear this song, she did all she could
All those women gave me superpowers, what I thought I lacked
I pray our children don't inherit me and feelings I attract
A conversation not bein' addressed in Black families
The devastation, hauntin' generations and humanity
They raped our mothers, then they raped our sisters
Then they made us watch, then made us rape each other
Psychotic torture between our lives we ain't recovered
Still livin' as victims in the public eyes who pledge allegiance
Every other brother has been compromised
I know the secrets, every other rapper sexually abused
I see 'em daily buryin' they pain in chains and tattoos
So listen close before you start to pass judgement on how we move
Learn how we cope, whenever his uncle had to walk him from school
His anger grows deep in misogyny
This is post-traumatic Black families and a sodomy, today is still active
So I set free myself from all the guilt that I thought I made
So I set free my mother all the hurt that she titled shame
So I set free my cousin, chaotic for my mother's pain
I hope Hykeem made you proud 'cause you ain't die in vain
So I set free the power of Whitney, may she heal us all
So I set free our children, may good karma keep them with God
So I set free the hearts filled with hatred, keep our bodies sacred
As I set free all you abusers, this is transformation
