Let that hate in your heart go super weirdo

That's to be expected. They've always had an elitist mindset.

4 of these artists received a Drake stimulus, crazy to think about tbh

you right though it is possible to keep growing, but I think all of these artists played industry games insanely well by constantly collabing. Artists that separate themselves from other artists seem to struggle a lot.

I'd also go as far to say that The Weeknd flopping with Dawn FM was mostly due to the lack of collabs with big artists

nav gets the same collabs and nobody cares

Not really a fan of his music anymore but Nav was doing pretty big numbers 2017-2019 ish, easily a top 30 streamed rapper, maybe even top 20. His first week numbers were never high (except the album he did insane bundles for) but his trick was longevity, he was farming streams over time

even now he has 6 songs with over 200m spotify streams. How many rappers have that? Probably less than 20

Didn’t NAV get pretty decent sales for his caliber with his last album?

Was crazy to enter this thread and see my avy posted despite me not even being active itt

Thread just been a Kendrick hate thread for last few weeks

Look what y’all have done

so we can all agree the sales are bad

Dawn FM had collabs while After Hours didn't so this doesn't track.

Why'd you post the 432hz version

Y’all still in here talking about Kendrick

WIN

Kendrick wouldn't have flopped if he just dropped NATION instead

Only 1 Kendrick song in the top 24 in the US. This album won't stay. It will quickly go away. Crazy considering we've been waiting 5 years for this.

AOTY thread out now go vote and make your voice heard!

Meh, that's full of fake votes. Can't trust it.

We know Kendrick is Kendrick and goes months without a phone, but yall think he cares about the reception of the album

The sales and the not so universally great opinion this time

Oh, you worried about a critic? That ain't protocol

Kendrick in Ghana playing soccer with kids who have less than while this album has the highest user score of any of his work, meanwhile being a therapy session for black men.

He is doing just fine. Man gave us another classic #1 album and healed himself.
