    Why the hell would it not do 5-6

    It’s Kendrick Lamar off the most momentum in a decade. He just won the biggest rap beef of the generation, got a Super Bowl spot, tik tok hit which is on the record, meme bars, twitter machine pushing the album, how the hell does this thing not even break 300

    This what happens when you stop making music for the hood, even pitchfork turned on him with the lightest change

    Even a good amount KTT saying this ain’t good enough or that they wanted more “concept 🤓” whatever that means

    It is factually and literally impossible for a 12 song album to do 600K in streaming units in one single week.

    It has never been done before, and will never be done ever

    Absolutely not.

    TTPD did 700K in streaming units first week and it was 30 tracks.

    The only short album in the history of music that probably could’ve done it was Thriller because of how undeniable it was but we’ll never know since it didn’t drop in the streaming era

    He didn’t get outstreamed by Tyler

    291K is basically 300K, there’s no way you’re celebrating over 9K units

    Final numbers aren’t even out yet, he will 100% finish above 300K

    LMAAAOOOO THE SHAMBLES

    Drake is suing over a rap battle

    He’s tearing the industry down for malpractice. Y’all can keep trying to paint this as anything other than brave/respectable though. The small artists win here.

    Simple. People want to hear Tyler’s music more once all the gimmicks are cast aside.

    Kendrick cooked up a 12 track masterpiece and is selling a hearty 300k first week.

    I’m glad he isn’t a sellout making bloated 29 track albums to farm streams(fatd)

    J cole cooked up a 12 track masterpiece with Off-Season and is selling a hearty 300k first week.

    I’m glad he isn’t a sellout making bloated 20 track albums to farm streams(MMATBS)

    use that argument for comparing damn to more life then lol

    Drake's "More Life" sells 505K first week (230K Pure)

    Kendrick Lamar's "DAMN." sells 610K first week (362K Pure)
    cheers

    Damn didn’t do merch bundles tho… most I see is a signed CD. Does that count? I’d make an argument it does lol but I don’t think he really sold 100k plus of those lol. Imagine how tired his hand must have been if he did

    After research looks like more life didn’t even get a physical release. That’s why it did less IG.
