I know the podcast. Haven't tapped in for a while but I've listened to some episodes in the past and they're really good.

i hate knife talk to tbh

I thought N95 would have some longevity

I think Future album will sell more than Kendrick's by the end of the year. No more excuses why he shouldn't be in the big 3

We don't get pre-orders because he's working on the album until the day it drops. CLB was 2 hours later wasn't it? Scorpion and Views were all delayed an hour or more too. Drake's a perfectionist so he won't make physical copies because he can't change them once it's done weeks before the release date. He added "Flies" to Knife Talk after CLB came out

Man I would be happy af if Future in the big 3 became general consensus, he's an absolute legend and he deserves that kind of praise

He does care about sales but not enough to open pre-orders that's my point , he will dominate anyway only artists that can open higher are Taylor/Adele and in a couple of weeks he already outsells them , so why go through all the trouble and risk an album leak? (I don't think the leak would affect sales that much LTD though first week probably but I think physicals would more than make up for it)

also this rlly, pre-orders work when ur a pop artist that they have everything planned and done multiple months before. Rap Artists update stuff all the time until last sec or even after album drops

Don't be surprised if it also outsells Off-Season, only rap album he aint touching outside of Drake/Kanye ones are My Turn and Eternal Atake

Kendrick numbers keep going up

W

did my turn have bundles or anything like that

Nope.

no radio

where?

kanye album aint even do all that 😭

Beyond that, the streams are low. Wait for U remained stable for it's first few weeks just off of streams.

Donda hasn't really done massive numbers after the first week. It's sold like half of what CLB has sold.

only real music lasts

So many gems and I'm only half way through.

Anyway I love spending twenty minutes talking about how an album is incredible, and your favourite, then saying "Two weeks later I don't listen to it"

That was expected, still more than any recent rap album I haven't mentioned . Doing half of CLB is still amazing

He did closer to 1/3rd of clb at 2021 year end
