    Yeah everyone praises DAMN doing 600k but they never talk about the bundles he had. Drake and Cole are the last of mainstream rap to never do the bundle s***

    I also heard too you actually have to sign up to win a pulitzer. Like it just isn't given out to whoever. Still impressive Kenny got picked but it's not like he won it out of the blue.

    I never got the pulitzer hype. They give those out every year. Awards like Artist Of The Decade only come once every 10 years, and does anyone else remember Kendrick liking a tweet about Drake winning?

    Lowkey I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't all about the support for Drake and more about making himself feel better since he knows deep down that's the one he'll never get over Drake. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but he been hating Drake for 8 years and when that happens suddenly he's happy for him? Idk

    More than half of DAMN's units came from physicals/pure sales. It did 603k units and out of that 353k were from physicals/pure sales. MMATBS did 295k units, of which 35k were from pure sales. On the streaming end, both albums did around the same (340M US streams for DAMN and 343M US streams for MMATBS).

    Kendrick be saying s*** like "fuck the critics, that's protocol" and "You're the only one that likes being famous" then get on stage and say some corny ass s*** like "First off, I'd like to thank the academy!"

    Drake's music has been the soundtrack for so many of us growing up.

    You would think Kenny would be happy a black artist was artist of the decade and also a black artist was the first artist to break 100 billion streams on Spotify. You would think.

    Damn had Humble and the hype from TPAB.

    Mr. Morale had the hype of Kenny not dropping an album for 5 years.

    I really think he saw the writing on the wall and knew he had to diss to get his name making the rounds.

    I know he had his tour but a lot of that was his older music and being in hiding for 5 years.

    Personally don’t think he wanted that kind of stardom.

    Makes his music, writes for people and gets his bag with the odd shows here and there.

    He’s def gonna bundle his next album to make it look more than it is. He might crack 600-700k if he does it right :

    Yeah you right I’m sure he’s still getting that work check . Bruh don’t gotta work after that. He turned into a fat ass after that I’m sure he was probably struggles with some s***.

    The Young Thug/Atlanta/Travis/Gunna/Lil Baby/Future/Migos circle of feature swaps was a waste of time.

    I hated that era and this is why.

    Wasted pure talent and gifts on thankless losers on forgotten projects for a moment that will never return with no ability to perform ANY of that s*** now.

    Just calorie deficient bullshit. All for people to overlook his own projects.

    What a f***in waste man.

    He had something with that Dark Lane Demo Tapes vibe…and seemed unsure of if he should follow that route. THAT was where he should be now.

    Yeah DLDT was fire but to your point he literally had a thug track, 2 future tracks and a carti track on that record. The regular Atlanta features you just dissed but he should’ve remained? I agree on the played out feats with certain artists but confused on where you took the point?

    Drake was doing too many features for those thankless ass clowns.

    The dude’s generosity was completely unacknowledged and has been essentially evaporated. For. Nothing.

    Dude was creating vibes and collabs and it was all for nothing.
