Sales mean nothing and this site would be better if mods locked the chart thread permanently
So cringe like leave that to the angels I thought it was art over charts!!!
Can't spell chart without art
@WT777 my agendas will always see the light
This era makes the beef era seem like the golden age
It’s crazy how pretty much the second the narrative favored them they changed their mind on this. It’s almost like they were only arguing against it because it was the position of the other side
its clear people are only doing this to f*** with Drake stans, who have trolled fans of every artist on here for years
you dont see kendrick fans s***ting on the sales numbers of any other artist other than Drake
That sales thread has never been in a worse spot, same 5 users AT WAR in there the past 3 days having the same debates every other hour
Sab needs to just nuke it
Checking the replies to chartdata tweets made me realize there is another level of this stan s***.
its nothing new and how "yall" always act like this nigga is talib and lupe with the sales when gkmc is literally the most streamed album in rap along with take care and damn is one of the biggest rap albums ever and the first time someone outsold drake is exactly why niggas on yall ass
also how "yall" acted and talked crazy about bro during his hiatus and the beef before meet the grahams, yeah thats why niggas on yo ass
lets not forget he had a solo number 1 before drake too, and the biggest rap tour of all time before drake during "flop" mmbs (which is still the biggest world tour iirc)
all "yall" do is lie and underestimate this nigga since tpab even tho he has every accolade in the world from sales to hits to respect to critics to culture and yet there's still the corner of "yall" that just s*** out the mouth thinking he's killer mike for whatever weird ass reason
sucks to be fully on the other end of the stick - get over it, yall forced the damn 2.0 era when he wanted to go art house legacy route. now you gotta eat it, again
Ether
Not obsessed damn we can’t be happy for his accomplishments the way Drake Stan’s d*** rode his sells for years? And it’s no where near as bad as Drake Stan’s
its clear people are only doing this to f*** with Drake stans, who have trolled fans of every artist on here for years

That's the truth, because I have never seen any Kendrick stans attack any artists, but when it's Drake.....
Now all of sudden, the schtick is "Kendrick fans is obsessed with sales"

is corny af
Kendrick was always an amazing artist
It's cool celebrating him having more success globaly and reach more people i think its really great more people recognize his musical genius
But some of his fans talking about his numbers more than his music itself
Its sad because it started after he started doing big numbers and some of them started to sound like drake stans who are not hiphop fans and that is Disgusting
Are there any Kendrick stans on KTT2 who actually care about numbers outside of humiliating Drake stans?
I agree that what you're talking about is happening elsewhere on the internet:
x.com/KendrickChart
e.g. this now very popular 'Kendrick Lamar Chart Updates' account was created in May 2024, around the same time Not Like Us dropped. But that's Twitter and it's a very different demographic to this site.

Its definitely reached a point where the ironic bait and trolling has become post-ironic and they taking this numbers s*** too seriously
Drake stans will never say Kendricks better and vice versa so these stan wars are just funny to me
This era makes the beef era seem like the golden age
What's funny is the Kenny's don't acknowledge when I'm on their side, only when I'm not

Your previous account seems to have really left a mark with some
Blame the Drake stans who made it all about numbers and now got nothing now that Kendrick is getting numbers.
not really
most of it is just reflexive meta discussion to “own” drake Stans after the beef
there were threads on here pre-MMBS comparing Kendrick to Future and saying he fell off, he’s not top 10, DAMN was his peak and a fluke, etc
and ofc the break in between Push Ups and his response drake stans said he was too scared and drake won
The retroactive erasing of this, pretending like Drake was destined to lose the beef from the start, or that the numbers talk appeared in a vacuum is funny
but anyways it ain’t that deep and no one cares
Your previous account seems to have really left a mark with some
RIP Jayson
Back when I didn't understand the game
let's be real we all know which fanbase initiated this discourse for years and why kendrick fanbase might be enjoying the victory lap atm
it's also not often you get a bloke who puts out something like TPAB having all this chart success years later
I think part of it comes from Drake always being the sales and numbers guy but it looks like he’s gonna be dethroned and they’re getting to use the only thing Drake concretely had on lock against him for the first time
THIS IS WHY
DRAKE has always been a sales and number guy like Jay.
This sales, hits, and numbers vs integrity and substance debate in rap has been going on forever.
Jay and Nas represented both sides.
Just like Drake and Kendrick
Jay summed it up the debate perfectly on Moment of Clarity about integrity and substance vs popularity and hits. He wanted to be more on some deeper s*** but he chose to go the more commercial route which brought him more $$$
