    How so? everyone knows how competitive Kendrick is & how he sees Drake/Cole as proper competition.

    would rather him just make what he wants instead of watering down his music to cater to the masses

    How the f*** do you think the concept of Drake, Kendrick, Cole as the big 3 got started in the first place? Cause they all turned into unit moving superstars

    It’s the BIG three. It’s the biggest rappers

    No eminem nicki and flo rida were selling more than them when the big 3 idea started

    me too tbh, im just saying I think he's a really competitive person and I wouldn't be surprised if these numbers hurt him a bit after how huge DAMN was. guess we'll see

    It's a shame cause I'm a big Drake fan but I really wanted Kendrick to do Drake numbers or outsell him. I think Drake needs a humbling himself. He's gonna see CLB doing almost double Kendrick and think there's not much to improve on.

    on the other hand i'm a big fan of Kendrick & maybe this'll push him to make a IYRTITL type project to get numbers.

    This album was never going to do CLB type numbers based on the music Kendrick makes and him being gone for so long

    And Drake did not delay CLB for a year to wait and see what Cole/Kendrick do Dafuq you even talking about

    can't find it atm but it was summer 2019 ish? I think. Drake talked to Akademiks & told him he's waiting to see what Kendrick/Cole do first pretty much.

    He also said that CLB will have sides to it that'll be very controverseial though & that didn't happen. lots changed in those 2 years probably

    Kendrick did pretty much all he could to alienate and offend people with this album Sales do not matter to him as much as some of you think. If they did, he would not have come back with TPAB after GKMC. If they did, he would not go completely ghost for almost half a decade. If they did, he would not put a song like We Cry Together and say the type of things he did on this album

    I don't even know much about sales but I predicted 300k before the Heart 5 even dropped based on how long he's been gone. Kendrick should be happy with selling around that much

  • May 18, 2022

    the touring is defo the only thing he cares about this point, he had one scheduled before lockdown hit and now one annouced as soon as the album dropped

    I think he would just cause he delayed CLB for a year because he wanted to wait for Kendrick & Cole to drop & see what happens to the game. He does care a lot about what they do & how it effects things. Kendrick & Drake especially are very competitive artists, I dunno how anyone can ignore that

    No, you are nuts if you think Drake delayed his project for a year because of Kendrick and Cole.

    There was a pandemic going on that affected everyone.

    There is no rapper commercially on Drakes level, we just got the confirmation of it yet you are still acting like Drake has to plan around them niggas when it's usually the other way around.

    I can’t say if that is true or not but in reality most people do not pick top rappers based on sales

    You are right and people will ignore that lmao

    thats not true.
    he dropped scorpion in 2018, pandemic happened in 2020 so he dropped DLDT to give the fans something, CLB happened in 2021.
    drake is leading the pack, if you think his release schedule is dictated by a nigga that hasnt dropped in 5 years and isnt even present i dont know what to tell you.

    you have to put up sales to be in the conversation. people are laugh you out the room if you would bring up big sean or meek (no disrespect to them) when talking about the top rappers.

    the reason why cole and kendrick can be argued during drakes run is because their sales over the last decade put them on a level where you at least can have a talk. the gap between the rest is too big.

    jay isnt just jay because of the bars he spit but because the numbers he pulled during his career.

    No one in real life cares about Jays numbers. They care about his bars and business mindset.

    People act like Jay and 50 whole shtick wasn't about doing numbers but also rapping well

    I don't understand why the ML album/playlist distinction matters tho?

    When I'm ranking Drake's discography, I personally include it even though I wouldn't count DLDT or Care Package. Because the music was made specifically for the project.

    But why are you bringing up?

    Because people in here are tryna argue that DAMN. having a higher first week than More Life in 2017 doesn’t count because ML was a “side project”
