Everytime someone tried to talk about the factors surrounding Kendrick's album, they got hit with this by OP

We all know both albums have reasons why they aren't selling as much as they could have been selling. Yall just getting that same energy back rn

Crazy how the roles have been inverted

Kendrick has the numbers but Drake now released the better album

Nobody expected Kendrick to sell within the 200s.

And the "because it's Drake" is another way people try to downplay why Drake sells a lot. He is the biggest and makes the impactful Hip Hop + Hip Hop is the biggest genre. Hence him big numbers.

He made a Dance album and categorised it as that. Also announced it a few hours before release.

Kendrick currently selling less than Future and none of the catchy songs have really had a grip on the culture. The Spotify sponsored ghana trips ain't got the people moved.

Kendrick has only sold massive numbers with the bundle assisted DAMN so maybe expectations were just too high. We already know Drake selling 500k + when he drops back in his rap bag. I can't say the same for anybody in rap right now.

Because it is cope, your only excuse is "if the album had 3 catchy rap songs he would have done Drake numbers"

there's no proof of that, whilst there is proof of Drake selling huge numbers with a normal album just 9 months ago.

there's levels to it which you guys ignore.

Now Drake stans about the art.

They should have given Kendrick fans that courtesy they’re begging for now.

Yall keep bringing up the 5 year gap almost like that's a surefire way to keep people on the edge of their seat waiting. I'm not sure that's the case, such a long gap can have the opposite effect. Especially with what he dropped, that album is not listenable/replayable. I was in the thread the day it dropped and people were saying "Schizophrenic 4:44", "Head down on the subway with headphones battling your demons music". Drake stans focus on N95, Die Hard, Rich Spirit and Silent Hill but that album also has Worldwide Steppers, We Cry Together, United in Grief, Crown, Auntie Diaries, Mother I Sober which clearly aren't mainstream sounding songs. Then there's controversy surrounding the music that could put people off like Kodak Black features, sexual abuse and the f slur. Tbh, I expected this Drake album to sell more first week because it's Drake and the sound/topics are more palatable than Kendrick's

1 million first week is just crazy talk, I predicted around 300k before the album dropped. Just like there's Drake stans who said CLB had no promo, sometimes niggas just say goofy inaccurate s***

I didn't expect Drake to sell in the low 200s either, even with it being a house and surprise album. And you said it yourself - he's the biggest in hip-hop. That's why I expected him to sell more than the Kendrick album which also has valid reasons for it not selling as well as it should've

The fact is the general public are just not f***ing with the album. 86% drop in Spotify streams from Day 1 to Day 5. DLDT (which according to Drake Stans was a mixtape full of leaks everyone already heard) was streaming double at the same point.

Lowest selling album by anyone in the big 3 (since being established) ever. No cope can change that.

• in hip hop . He doesn’t have his audience for dance music

His last no announcement project also sold about 200 also

So with all the content you just assumed this would do drake usual numbers ? Cap. But whatever makes y’all feel better

There’s no way people genuinely think this ? Unless you’re just ignoring all the context because you want him to flop

A drake surprise album categorised as dance shouldn’t be selling more than actual albums by artists like Weeknd and Post Malone. I

As soon as it was known it was a short dance album the 200s was the best case scenario. Kendrick for example though nobody was expecting his return album to be in the 200s. Predictions were 500k +
