shouldn't have had a beat switch

Drake Stan’s spent the last 3 weeks clowning The Weeknd for hurry up tomorrow streams just for $$4U to stream less than it

Everyone has what they'd like to see Drake do but Drake is doing the direct opposite of that lol. People wanna hear Drake rap, especially about the beef, Kendrick and all that's transpired in the past year. Him choosing to NOT do that and instead deliver an R&B album with PARTYNEXTDOOR was always not going to be met with massive support.

Yes, the die-hard Drake fans will show love to the album but the general public/casual fans, who make up the bulk of his listenership base, won't care for this album and that's to be expected.

I'm just glad the point I was making about this album from weeks ago is being proven now

Let me hop on this VPN and put some streams in.. those numbers..

What we think the first week looking like?

Oof if drake somehow does less than kendricks last week the mockery on social media gonna be vicious

Lmao my bad...I’m just trynna help Drake...did you see the numbers? It’s looking rough. Drake said “Fuck a rap beef, I’m tryna get the party lit”...not with these numbers.

Looks like Kendrick snatched Drake’s whole female fanbase with Luther

stay hard

Post gonna hit like crack if so

This debut isn’t that remarkable. It’s not low enough to call a failure and it doesn’t look like it’s going to overperform in the short term so

The one takeaway from this is that Drake will always have a very, VERY high baseline of success no matter what and he needs to take advantage of that now and make more passion projects like HNVM and this

Did worse than HNM numbers

the shambles is crazy. have some shame

That super bowl boost he got is crazy. I think NLU going viral on tiktok again too with that dance

So you ain’t even American?

Save me the trouble
You use pdf because you're unserious in your conviction

Kendrick did not end Drake’s career but he definitely damaged it.

PND getting put in the OVO sweatshop permanently if this does lower then 200k

It’ll be interesting to see how Drake handles this. Will he release a new album this year or finally take 2-3 yrs off?

It’s clear now how irrelevant Drake is without the machine and he wanted a new $700 million deal when he can’t even sell 200k fw smh. UMG really dodged a bullet, crazy.

No one deserves that much money including Kendrick or half of that let alone $700 million. Drake’s new contract is probably gonna be around $100 million cause who would want to invest in something that’s losing value? Drake without the machine is basically like Chingy in 2016 but at least Chingy is actually talented and writes his own sht.

They said you low-balled only to say it's underperforming

kendrick-fans-are-setting-him-up-for-failure-with-their-unrealistic-32519257

Lots of folks were predicting 200-300k and are shocked. I don’t get it, these numbers would be on pace for that lol

It’s got a slightly better debut than DLDT, which sold 223k first week. If it holds like that album, it would do similar numbers. If it holds like FATD instead, we’d be looking at 190k-210k.

If you talk about some daily you can’t call them irrelevant
