Drake released an album nobody wants to listen to. The genre makes no difference. He spent hours in the studio to produce a massive flop and be clowned. Deal with it.

''Drake released an album nobody wanted to listen to''. Good. He finally released an album HE wanted to create, instead of feeling pressured to please his fanbase/general public. It's a brave move that only deserve applause. To do that when you are the biggest artist in the world and know how people would react to low numbers.. Incredible.

So he intentionally made an album that only he f***s with? Not even music his fans would love or enjoy listening to?

Someone call HDD. This has to be a mistake. How is Drake 10 month old rap album this close in weekly sales to Kenny 2 month old rap album?

Anyone over the age of 12 should be able to include context. Once you are capable of doing that, you would realize that it makes zero sense to compare the sales of a surprise house album (a completely dead genre that doesn't perform well on the charts) to a rap album. Period.

They've peeped that Kendrick's first album in 5 years is already selling the same as CLB (which dropped 10 months ago) so they're back at it again. That album still won't outsell CLB this year and Drake will outsell every rapper this year for the gazillionth time even with the "massive flop" that is Honestly, Nevermind. What does that say about Drake? Better yet, what does that say about other rappers?

After doing the opposite ever since he started his career, what's the problem with DOING HIM for the 1st time ever? And a lot of people love it, otherwise it wouldn't have sold 230K.

The real anger some of these people feel isn't that anyone called MMATBS a flop. It's that it's the first Kendrick album in 5 years AND it's that forgettable. Meanwhile, Drake dropped 2 incredibly enjoyable albums in the span of 9 months and has even more new music on the way and is still effortlessly outdoing niggas 13 years in. I completely understand.

But people love Mr Morale and the Big Steppers and enjoy listening to it more? Honestly, nevermind the genre. Kendrick sold more so that's what it means right?

Kendrick's numbers are disappointing ONLY because it's Kendrick. It'd be the same if Adele dropped and did 200k. Why were Dawn FM's numbers seen as an L? Because it's the Weeknd. His previous 3 albums before Dawn FM did between 444k, 348k and 412k respectively. That creates an expectation, whether you like it or not. Now, if Dawn FM had done like 275k, no one in their right mind would call it an L because while it's a decline, it's not a steep decline. To show you how much of an L Dawn FM was, Starboy (2016) pulled more on-demand audio streams than an album released in 2022, so it wasn't just about a sales decline. The album legit flopped.

As for Kendrick, DAMN was released 5 years ago and did 340M on-demand audio streams. Not thoroughly outdoing those numbers now will be an L because streaming has grown and this album has more tracks. That's how the Ls are being classified.

If a Drake album does 300k tomorrow, even if no one else in the game is doing 200k, people will automatically see it as an L for Drake because it's Drake and because they know what he's used to doing. That's where this all comes from, not because anyone is trying to put Kendrick down.

As for you saying people think Drake's next album will do a million first week, I've personally never seen that and I'd like to assume no one in their right mind is stupid enough to think that will happen.

@Zackbrah Third paragraph for the "house album" cope. It's Drake

And "surprise album" cope doesn't make sense. Again, it's Drake, one of the biggest artists of the world. Word spreads fast through the internet. Everyone has heard about the album by now, but sales still haven't picked up since that first week. People just aren't coming back to it. They don't rate the music highly, they don't enjoy it

Drake massively flopped and it’s OK. Good for him for releasing something he wanted to. Outsold by a dusty Morgan Wallen album just weeks after drop. Go Drake Go!
