There’s no debate now either

no physicals this time around

Damn that’s a big ass drop tho

It just felt like everybody listened to this, I expected him to at least crack 400k

Bro fighting for his life for Kenny pandemic numbers

Kendrick’s problem is his fan base. They don’t hold him to the high standards they think he meets. You can have deeply meaningful songs be ones you want to listen to over and over again. They pretend like replayability only matters if you want to figure out the album and not because you enjoy it sonically.

Drake got the game on lock because he understands music is about SOUND (insert OVO Sound tag).

If people wanted an essay they’d read an essay. But if that was the case Kendrick wouldn’t stand out because compared to real intellectuals and not mumble rappers, he isn’t saying anything groundbreaking.

Frankly, if you want bars, schemes, deep meaning and slaps there’s only Drake. Kanye is more a great Director. Kendrick writes well but personally his rapping a bit hit and miss. It’s more exposition than metaphorical. But because he puts it in a weird sentence structure (syntax) people think it’s some lyrical miracle s*** because they have to replay it.

If this album was boo-boo CLB shouldn't even be considered music

Listen to in2deep and race my mind.

Damn drake had no physicals either

That’s the best on the album?

Leaving the club rn

They played new Kendrick so that's all that matters right?

They're great songs. Nothing ground-breaking. I would throw Pipe Down and Bridle Path in there as well.

It isn't that Drake makes bad music, or "makes the same album" or whatever.

He is simply no longer in the same conversation as people who are trying to do something interesting or meaningful in music, and hasn't been since maybe 2015.

What Kendrick joint they play in the club

Not sure if this a joke or not but genuinely intrigured

Barely any rappers have physicals first week anymore, streaming has become the main form of consumption anyway.

The lack of physicals can explain a dip for sure, but I wouldnt expect a dip this large - but it definitley ain't the worst dip we've seen.

Neither a W or a L imo

This really the theme of Papi’s Home:

Hear the talks when I walk by like you know it's over when we drop
Ayy, drop
Yeah, and I'm coming with the wop
Y'all niggas not poppin'
F*** her, then she goin' shoppin'
Whoa, I'm runnin' out of opps
They're runnin' out of options
Put 'em up for adoption
Sign my name on the dot
Ayy, this is not luck, baby, this no four-leaf, no horseshoe
I'm in the bank thinkin', "Poor you"

You really think a feller like Aubrey is scared to tour cause his album got mixed reviews??

Aubrey who can tour just off his features and still sell out ⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️

I was surprised when CLB came out and I tried to talk to people about it irl. Everyone just brushed it off and said he’s not really an album artist/that type of artist. They didn’t care for it.

But they were excited to talk about DONDA, The Off Season, CMIYGL, and Kendrick.

It makes me wonder if Drake is losing his touch with rap heads.

325k is great in 2022 tbh

Just can’t compare him to real superstars like Aubrey Tay Tay etc..

There’s nothing wrong with not being a big as them

Sure but he’s not doing Stadiums like Bad Bunny.

people always put Kendrick rapping over Drake’s because he raps about social issues and the world, but this album shows that when it comes to personal rapping and rapping about themselves Drake is better than Kendrick. Nobody makes better introspective rap than Drizzy

Are you saying Aubrey can’t do a stadium tour/sell a stadium tour?

Aubrey who is the most popular artist for probably over a decade?

yeah i just said that in comparison that DAMN's phsyical made up for more than half of its first week sales last time

He doesnt like performing in stadiums. Takes away from the concert experience according to him / less personal
