    How the hell is this idiot selling less than Morale?

    The sales thread has been nothing but a battleground for Drake and Kendrick stans even in years they don’t drop

    Literally hasn’t changed since 2017 on KTT1.

    Yup as soon as ‘DAMN outsold IYRT’ Kendrick stans thought they could finally stand on numbers and nothing’s been the same since

    although he got huge hits, that westcoast sound is way too regional

    what made all his other albums better was the universality

    This didn't matter when it was time for NLU to become a huge record. Shouldn't matter now.

    nlu was the first time people heard kenny make a song like that, at the height of the biggest beef in decades.

    compared to an album worth of songs like that. theres only so much crip walking someone can do

    Niggas been calling Kendrick the #1 guy in rap since this beef popped off but they can't hold him to the same commercial expectations they've held Drake to for the past 15 years. It's excuse after excuse for Kendrick. If Drake dropped and did less than 300k, y'all wouldn't shut up about him flopping.

    The surprise drop is only relevant for numbers when an artist comes out of nowhere to drop something

    Kendrick has been everywhere the whole year, he had the best rollout in a long time

    Maybe right after the pop out but Kendrick has been gone for the past couple months

    GNX doing almost 300k is great. It was a surprise release in the middle of the day, 12 songs, and lost 12 hours of streaming. Kendrick doesn't need to make stream bait music he makes classics.

    There we go, back to the “he makes concept albums” lane

    Thats where kenny stans belong 👏

    love kendrick
    love the album
    I've been spinning most of it plenty
    but if we're talking sales we gotta call a spade a spade
    it's good numbers in general
    but with the year he's had
    he should've done more
    it's really as simple as that

    Glad we can stop pretending this is “Kendrick’s year” or something monumental lol. Drake will outdo these numbers in his sleep with his next release (Remember, he’s supposed to be “finished”)

    Drake got outsold by Kenny Chesney and couldn’t touch 300k with his surprise drop lol we didn’t forget

    In 2024, 291k are good numbers but in 2023, 404k were bad numbers?

    Tbf Tyler only had four days of tracking. Tyler’s four days out streamed Kendrick’s current four day total.

    They'll ignore this, though. Tyler would have done similar SEA numbers with a full tracking week, maybe even more than Kendrick did.

    Absolutely f***ing Embarrassing. If I was a Kendrick fan I’d run into hiding after this, genuinely.
