I think he ends up doing more like 450k as long as the album is more DAMN-ish than TPAB-ish

If I gotta choose between left field or mainstream for sales, I know which one I’m choosing

i mean when u have a dude waxing pretentious about a great album and u r told u cant """""objectively""""" criticize it then i'd get a little irritated too

But DAMN was excellent and “mainstream.” You wouldn’t rather have both?

You get irritated by something you can’t see. Blocking someone takes 2 seconds. He won’t stop saying that. He has been saying that about Kendrick from since Ktt1. Fool me once. You know what they said about being fooled again.

DAMN. Was excellent. My second favorite Kendrick album. But I know Kendrick has it in him to really push the limit of this genre we love and me as a listener.

gkmc: 91/100
tpab: 96/100
damn: 95/100

Gonna be crazy if kendrick manages to drop the 3rd highest rated rap album of all time, considering he already has #1 and #2. The man's only competition is himself.

He won’t just because one or two subpar reviews can drop it a lot, and I guarantee there will be a few hipster outlets that have moved past Kendrick and judge this album pretty harshly

The fact that gkmc is rated lower than damn makes this pretty meaningless

I think its fairly accurate. Like from a pure musical (and objective) angle, both DAMN and TPAB should be rated higher.
GKMC had way too many musical flaws to be rated higher than these 2.
You may personally enjoy gkmc more, but its simply not as good as the other 2 tbh.

The blue notes on gkmc are f***ed up, the syncop could have been improved as well, the alt keys on 2 beats as well...

how long before we get the video for first single

You shouldnt be interacting with kendrick sxn alts tho thats like the #1 unwritten ktt rule lmao

Jesus christ, shut the f*** up you dweeb.

u mad Nonamer?

You're just so full of s***, that's it.

There's definitely some resentment towards kendrick from him being away for so long and mysterious the past 4-5 years.

There's a lot of rap fans out there that are hoping the album doesn't deliver or hope his album sales underperform this time around.

This album most definitely doing 400k+ no matter what it sounds like imo. He got family ties platinum in like 4 months, the anticipation is thru the roof.

i agree. he has alot riding on this album imo

It’s funny to see.

Club Lover Boy was such a critical failure they’re seething at the likelihood of Kendrick dropping a good album.

I don’t care about album sales. I think it’s weird when non-industry people hold those numbers in such a high regard. I would much rather have an experimental album than a pop album, sales be damned.

If this album ends with an 8 at the front, it’s a certified flop

But seriously, Kendrick might just have the highest expectations of any artist in any genre of music rn.

No wonder it’s taken so long, it’s gotta be tough to not lose your head with all that saddled on you, or start having ego trips that spill into the quality of the music.

Fortunately I feel like the people he has around him probably aren’t straight yes men and would be honest with him.

is there any rumours or theories to the album title yet?

This. GKMC is great, but it has a couple mid points. The outro Real is objectively just ok, and arguably one of his worst songs. Good kid is also corny at times. Great verses.

Lol, go get some fresh air.
