Glad you see the vision

Do you think any american goes to french forums to discuss french music charts?

I just realized I f***ed this up and didn't even include the totals for the final two tracks on Chromakopia. I was just comparing GNX's 12 tracks to Tyler's first 12 tracks. And Tyler still out streamed LMAO.

Tyler's actual four day number was 134m compared to 117m for Kendrick

Disagree but whatever

Also chill

Spotify 4 hours late with their update for today. Did GNX gain streams by like 500%? 👀

Drake boosted GNX with his petty lawsuit. 300k+ otw

Bot time 😈

Told you i made the call to UMG to cook the numbers

The reason for these numbers are reason #1 and #1 alone. I spent all summer saying it that the window Kendrick had to take advantage of the momentum from the Drake beef for his album was very short. If he'd dropped his album in May or even June, it'd have done massive numbers because enough casual fans were still dialled into what was going on.

This is what Drake knew to do with his beef with Meek and Pusha T. He won against Meek and instead of agreeing to push Back to Back as a radio single (something a few radio programmers confirmed), he dropped Hotline Bling and told the label to push that instead (something they apparently were at first hesitant to do because it didn't have an immediate splash on the charts). Same with the Pusha beef. Right after that, we got Scorpion, In My Feelings went #1 for 10 weeks and the rest is history.

Hotline Bling changed the trajectory of Drake's career and is one of his most essential songs in that regard. Without the success of Hotline Bling in breaking the proverbial glass ceiling above Drake's head, I don't think we get One Dance going #1 for 10 weeks. I don't think we get Views doing 1M+ units first week. I even believe Drake's success in 2018 can be tied back to Hotline Bling being his first true crossover record.

That's what Kendrick could have done. The moment The Heart Part 6 dropped and it was decided he'd won, he should have deferred and dropped another banger that had absolutely nothing to do with Drake or the beef to solidify himself as a hit-maker and to let all the casual eyes he had on him know that he's more than a nigga who goes at Drake. But he didn't do that. Instead, he doubled down by doing the pop out and released the music video and didn't drop or do anything for MONTHS.

There's an entire generation of casual listeners now who only know Kendrick as the Not Like Us guy. If you doubt me, recognise how the best-performing song off his new album is the one that sounds and is structured closest to how Not Like Us sounded.

Kendrick won the rap battle but I believe he'll regret letting Not Like Us get as big as it got because it's something he'll never be able to outrun.

Update it

Was wondering why u had 2 missing totals on the right

apple update requires 10x plays of GNX to complete damn

cooking started early for thanksgiving

Ur realest post 😈

For Kendrick's sake, I really hope this happens because that'll make my initial projections for the album (300-400k) spot on.

yeah the conversation moved on lmao, the convo changed and I brought in weeknd and other artists. and you said no, it doesnt happen to them, only drake

now you're acting like a hoe, because again, i proved you wrong, because it happens to every artist, Kendrick included, as seen by GMX doing HALF of what DAMN did.

Dudes still viciously defending Wee148knd. Can't say I'm surprised. How's the massive new album era coming along?

HUT release date announced and no one seems to care, sad

did people actually believe kendrick, even right now, musically, was more popular than drake?

Really? When was it announced?

his IG stories
24th january

botched rollouts of all botched rollouts

Yes, absolutely. Go through the threads associated with the beef. You'll see it all there. Same with every social media platform. Not only did they believe the beef had magically made him bigger than Drake, they 100% proof of Drake being a pedophile would come out and that would be what completely buried Drake. That's why that EbonyPrince account gained so many followers so quickly.

Another January release date. He really doesn't learn

That is some stat right there
