this is for kodak. he just sold 30k or so

ah yes stan wars

Who cares, they still dropped music

Lendrick dropped a mid album after 5 years

"Context matters a lot"

I agree. And an album where there is heavy lyrical content about black trauma and sexual abuse making people cry isn't going to pull as many numbers as an album filled with bangers

I mean y’all be comparing someone making an album touching deep topics with minimal features to someone making an album about hoes, flexing and beefing with niggas with 15+ popular mainstream artists throughout it.

kendrick really be on y’all niggas mind 24/7

Mr. Morale has more features than HNVM and Her Loss combined

All first week sales have been down this year unless you Taylor “30 different versions of the same album” Swift, Harry Styles and Drake/21.

Even Beyoncé, being one of the biggest artists of all time only sold 332K on her new album. That’s definitely a flop for her standards if we calling Kendrick a flop too.

Seemed to me there were plenty of attempts at bangers/radio songs on the album

so are we just supposed to ignore the obvious answer??

Okay so u just completely dismissed the point about the tour, proving u care more about pushing stan wars than logic

21 was probably not directly speaking on Kendrick cmon now.

Yup and that's why it's platinum and has the second highest selling fw sales this year

Ah yes, just say Kendrick wants only to tour to make money

Good excuses

You can drop a project and go to tour later but ok I know some of y'all are too dumb to get that

I don't think 21 was talking about the album that went plat so why are we

Capitalizing on hype is a thing. That's how u play 4 back to back sold out shows in LA

the obvious answer is kodak nigga

pay attention

its an album with drake lol

Why 21 getting spicy when Kodak would spin his top in a Verzuz? Like…. Badly

The arena he was at in LA isn't even that big, he would've sold that out without even dropping Mid Morale lmao

Those artists underperformed, including Beyonce. Future had his highest first week sales ever this year being 10+ years in the game, and Lil Baby outperformed My Turn which was a mega hit in 2020. Gunna did great too

If Travis dropped this year he'd do similar numbers or just below to Her Loss

People labelled this year as a down year for everyone when it's just not the case
