May 26, 2024·2 replieshellhathnofurriesHe hasn’t shown us that because he has literally displayed that he has no intention lol. If you think he doesn’t have the capacity to drop another song like humble just because Drake is a shell of his former self and cant make a hit to save his life you’re crazy. Point to one song on Mr morale that felt like he tried and failed at making a hit
all im saying is he hasn't shown us that. and we agree. not saying morale was full of songs meant to be hits that just failed. obviously that's not the case. but for kendrick lamar to take five years off and then do sub 300k first week? i mean that is kind of crazy. all im saying.

notbrockMorale is a weird ass album that didn’t have any hits to carry it, That’s why it only did 300k. But it still managed to have the biggest (solo) tour in all of hip hop. People still love Kendrick and his name still holds enough power to do that
But if we gonna talk about needing other people to get hits. Can you tell me the last few Drake hits?
kendrick is a legacy act. ppl bought those tour tickets bc they loved gkmc or tpab or damn or wtv. ppl were not buying those tickets to see any morale songs done live lol.
and yeah u could probably say that abt drake too. but let's not act like fatd didn't do 400k fw. guy is obviously still a big deal and a bigger commercial force than kendrick

why didn't u reply to my post addressing this directly?
is it bc u know that would make u look like a retard?
May 26, 2024notbrockYeah just watch. He gonna drop another hit that has nothing to do with Drake and they gonna flip into “He only got that hit because of the Drake beef, If that never happened it wouldn’t be a hit”
Exactly.

We are witnessing in real time right now he’s not a legacy act. He’s had 2 #1s this year
If you say “They’re only #1s because of Drakes name” then keep that same energy with Drake
The 3 biggest songs off his last album had Cole, Yeat and SZA on them

im speaking since damn.
obviously he has multiple hits from before then.

of course he had the ability to make hits on his own in the past. he could possibly still have that ability today. but to pretend that any of these disses are just like a regular hit song is absurd. obviously their numbers are inflated from drake being involved. i think to use them as an example of kendrick making a hit on his own is pretty blatantly disingenuous.
He just did it in the middle of a battle
He has two number one hits this year. Two. 😂. - May 26, 2024·1 replynotbrock

"it's only #1 bc he's dissing a popular artist" is different from "it's only #1 bc he got a great feature out of a popular artist".
one means the song isn't standing entirely on its own merit, but is getting a boost from its involvement in drama w a celebrity. the other means the song is standing on its own, it's just not 100% thanks to the main guy.

you switching up your stance now. Before it was “AI shouldn’t be used in music at all” and now it’s not as bad when it fits your narrative.

So what your saying is they both legacy acts that can’t get a hit without some kind of help?

not saying those aren't hits obviously they r having commercial success. but ur being ridiculous if u won't acknowledge that's at least partly thanks to Drake (most popular rapper alive) being the target of the diss. cant use them as examples of kendrick still being able to make a hit on his own bc they very obviously involve another, more commercially successful rapper.

Kendrick just beat Drakes ass without help. Him and a beat and an upload button.
Drake used Akademiks, podcasts, IG, AI PAC , AI Snoop, A music video and twitter bots and he just lost handedly lol.

lol lowkey. but kendrick further gone than drake. or at least that was the case before the beef. maybe now we'll see both of them struggle to chart lol
May 26, 2024https://twitter.com/Akademiks/status/1539423800361639936HimotheeFor his first house album it was the second biggest of the year. If MMBS was a different genre it would be a true comparison but Drake experimenting in a new lane and succeeding is more impressive than Kendrick dropping another rap album as expected

Drake songs plummeting off the charts. His ending salvo receiving more dislikes than likes. His fans using illogical arguments to give him credit. This year really insane.

ur not arguing in good faith here and u know it.
nobody is saying kendrick had help writing or recording those tracks. we r not talking abt help making the music, we r talking abt help marketing the music.
u list a lot of marketing tactics drake used throughout the beef, so im surprised u can't recognize that starting a beef w the most popular rapper alive is a HUGE thing for kendrick's marketing. like obviously the beef is boosting kenny numbers are we really debating this

Them saying “it’s only a hit because…” is just dumb as f***
Don’t get me wrong, It being a diss track definitely helped but you don’t get songs as big as Like That and Not Like Us solely because they’re disses
If that’s the case then why didnt TSOA break records? Why is Meet The Grahams not the biggest song of the year?
