Jun 18, 2022MyBallsAndMyWordThis is why JIK didn’t sell well
Kanye’s fanbase post 2010 has been overrun by white hipsters. The most dangerous kind of people because they can hide their passive racism behind a thin veneer of faux-progressivism. So there’s two things going on here.
A) they prefer “artsy” hip hop because that is more comfortable for their white, indie music sensibilities. JIK is a raw gospel album - a historically black genre of music - and isn’t quirky enough and doesn’t have any Bon Iver features so naturally they want nothing to do with it. B) Even tho they’ll never admit it, they prefer their black entertainers to be wilding out making fools of themselves - as long as it doesn’t offend their liberal proclivities. They can’t stand seeing a black man search for meaning and positivity in his life. This reaction is further exacerbated because it’s explicitly religious music. I’m an atheist but many of these edgy types think religion is a purely evil thing which can’t possibly be a source for some people to grow, change, and better themselves which is false.
So it’s a combination of casual liberal racism and people simply not being actual hip hop fans (which is a byproduct of said racism)
Good post tbh

NeonNigga23 ♻️Jun 18, 2022·1 replyZack From The SixIt wasn't and you know it.
If it wasn’t then drake wouldn’t call it his 7th studio album. You guys were acting like u were gonna get a crazy album before it dropped because of that. Niggas were acting like drake was throwing shade at Kendrick by dropping on his birthday

MMATBS had no promotion and still outsold the so called biggest rapper
You have no excuse
CLB didn't either and doubled what Kendrick's big comeback album did. Levels are clear to everyone.

Bruh I’m black and I didn’t even want anything do with JIK.
Imagine getting behind an album who uses religion to get sales.

Really have to make excuses for getting outsold by a reggaeton, K-pop, and gospel album?
Drake also been outsold by a country album before. A man of the people
