Feb 19·1 replyYA BOY ACEHaven't you been on this site forever? Mad Kendrick stans tried to make sales arguments back in 2017 when DAMN technically moved more units fw than IYRT had. That s*** did not just start lol, it has ebbed and flowed for a decade whenever it looked like there may be an opportunity to dethrone Drake as the sales king
Once again this was started after Drake did Views lol prior to that no one really gave af about sales THIS MUCH. It was mainly the content of the mursick that were talking points.
Scorpion onward is when Drake stans kept talking about numbers

Honestly a reality where Donald being on TDE would be kinda fire.
Punch probably woulda encourage him to keep spittin.
He was in the right pocket in 2012-2013 lyrically and should've continued improving his pen game along with his singing.

Feb 19seems pretty fair given all the trolling about numbers to use against him, in favour of other acts tbh

I remember this being the one where it felt like he could rap in his own voice and figure out how to sound comfortable. I think he said at the time Danny Brown gave him tips on it

FreightThye've always been obsessed with numbers.
Pitchfork scores...Fantano scores...Metacritic scores...
Grammy’s too. Even numbers lol. Watching them do revisionist history about “drake stans starting it” is funny as hell cause a lot of them were going crazy when damn outsold more life 1st week

The whole Kendrick vs Drake sales talk began with the damn vs more life era. Scorpion onward was drake stans “revenge” the same way 2024 was for kendrick stans lol

Water Giver· edited- he did one of the highest numbers with damn and always been a top 3 to 5 artist in the rap genre LOL
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
Yeah basically this

Wrong as usual. It’s always been a thing since they were the big 3.

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
This too niggas desperately tryna rewrite narratives
Feb 19it’s called dialectics
