sales are irrelevant and the only reason anybody started to give a s*** about sales is because of Drake being the first significant rapper in history to routinely get mediocre reviews and reception from music fans despite selling big numbers.
Giving an award for sales is laughable and furthers the sales= quality argument in a very harmful way.
You must not be old enough to have been around in 2007 if you thought no one cared about sales before Drake
If Kendrick wins a noble peace prize niggas on KTT gonna say who cares about peace. That s*** overrated lol.
They gave Obama a "peace prize" and he's war criminal that award hasn't meant anything since
Never wanna hear Kendrick autotune singing or dropping an Ay again in my life. Give me more LUSTs, DNAs, FEARs and XXXs and less ELEMENTs, LOVEs, HUMBLEs, GODs and LOYALTYs

So it meant something before when other war criminals got it. Are you 12?

I literally grew up in the Lil Wayne era lmao. Again, he dominated in sales, but he consistently got good reviews as well. At that time, the most popular social media was probably YouTube and he got s*** on at that time. The whole sales = quality nonsense started with Drake. Before him, most people argued the opposite.
they should have given Kendrick half a Pulitzer Prize because half of DAMN was trash as f*** fam
imagine being someone who is alien to hip hop culture, you want to get into the genre so you check Pulitzer winning album DAMN most streamed songs and this is the bullshit you listen to

Why the f*** they didn’t give this award to TPAB or another conscious album, out of all of Kendrick’s project they chose this
loyalty
idk how humble became such a massive single
loyalty
idk how humble became such a massive single
Label payola, they pushed that s*** heavily
Nah you can’t pretend like Kendrick stans don’t really care about that damn Pulitzer. They bring it up constantly to use against other artists
i really don't see it often at all
Kendrick going for back to back pulitzers with this new project.
Drake stans gonna melt

this thread was literally made by a butthurt drake stan, so lmao at you trying to act like there was any objectivity to be had here
you probably didn't even know what a pulitzer was before kendrick won it 🥴
the award is irrelevant to music quality and literally means nothing. they are just using it to pander to black people.
ill take the artist of the decade award over that easily since yall tryna compare awards
These awards ain’t gonna mean anything anymore, golden globes out, oscars and Grammys on the way out, VMAs desperate at this point

If sales were irrelevant why aren't artists giving out albums for free. Every single one of your favorite rappers care about sales that's a fact and if you think no one did before Drake you're very young

No one is comparing anything.
Drake won artist of the decade because white kids stream his music
Kendrick won a pulitzer cause white people liked his album.
He didn’t even get what I was referring too lmao. Exposing himself
Drake stans ruining this site.
Some of them are cool but man many of yall need immediate mental assistance
Drake stans were crying about Weeknd not acknowledging him on IG. Get help
Do yall understand what a Pulitzer is? How is it being compared to a Grammy or Billboard ITT?
You can win those awards like candy if you're quality enough, but not every journalist and certainly very very very few musicians will ever have a shot like Kendrick did, especially being the first in his genre to win
I get yall are weird when it comes to awards and s*** but why try to downplay an obvious accomplishment. Kendrick can win a Grammy whenever he wants he'll have 20+ by the end of his career. Not the same level at all

They’ve been crying about this for like 3 years too
