Beautiful list, beloved. Seek and Destroy is another fav that’s interchangeable with Notice Me.
Im happy SZA avoided the sophomore jinx and made an album that was true to herself instead of ctrl lite to oblige casual fans.
Real talk fam it’s so crazy how people were calling it mid 5 minutes after it dropped like no way they listened to the entire album in 5 min
typical ktt fr lol this album nowhere being mid. The wait was worth it
I see so many men on social media getting excited about the SZA album. What is it about her that specifically straight men connect with so much? Even Beyoncé doesn’t get support like this.
I noticed that too. Even as far back as Kenny Chesney. They always act in bad faith and gaslight every chance they get and wonder why it's hard to take them seriously. Now we're supposed to believe Drake stans bullied everyone after CLB when Drake hate on ktt goes further back then that
Drake has always been bigger than Kendrick lol. Even the year Kendrick had the bigger first week, with context, it's easier to see that Drake was bigger that year because Drake dropped twice in 2015 (Kendrick dropped once), dropped again in 2016 (and had the biggest album/single that year) and dropped again in 2017 but with only 5 tracking days, which is the only reason why Kendrick managed to have a bigger first week). Not to mention Drake dropping again in 2018 and completely dominating the entire year.
But DAMN was the first time Kendrick matched up to Drake in any way commercially so when it was time for Kendrick's follow-up album, they were running with ideas of him doing higher numbers than CLB while abandoning all logic to understand why that wouldn't be happening. Like, there were Kendrick fans talking down on CLB's numbers the week it dropped saying "Drake only did 600k, Kendrick will beat that easily with his next album". How quickly they got humbled lol.
Drake fans being proud of his numbers doesn't mean any other artist is being dragged but of course they'll see it that way because Drake fans shouldn't celebrate/acknowledge his success at all lmao.

They’re comparing an album that’s completely different than ctrl. That’s what makes it special. This is unfiltered, beautiful and all over the place just like SZA. I’m happy for SZA. I’m happy for us because it was worth the wait.
Will she beat predictions like every artist* has this year?
*excluding Kendrick and Jack Harlow
I hope she does. She deserves it.
What were y’all reciprocating when Mr. Morale dropped?
She’ll just ignore this. Even when you cook her with receipts of her own posts, she just changes the topic and starts name calling instead of ever addressing the conversation in question. It’s like talking to a brick wall fr

Facts. This album is different from CTRL it’s sza being herself like you said fr
i really hope she drops cds to this album because I’ll buy it supporting her. And also facts I’m very happy for sza as well she deserves the success she has. She’s a queen ❤️

Thank god it’s a success but even if it flopped I would respect it because there’s nothing better than being true to yourself and expressing yourself without restraints. SZA shouldn’t have to compromise to please fickle listeners and critics anyways. Let our queen do her thing ❤️
Well, that's you making assumptions that aren't accurate. I originally made this thread and linked several tweets from Kendrick stans/hip-hop accounts all saying Kendrick would be doing 750k-1m with whatever he dropped next and none of them seemed to understand why that wouldn't be happening and how the musical landscape has shifted since DAMN.
There was a thread about the projections for Kendrick's next album and people in there were saying the same thing about how he'd do 750k-1m first week.
I made this thread to EXPLAIN why that wouldn't be happening specifically so he wouldn't get dragged when the numbers officially dropped and he was NOWHERE near that ballpark.
The girl's tweet I linked to even got dragged on Twitter and had people explaining that Kendrick wouldn't be doing 1m first week and she deleted the tweet and admitted she didn't know the changes that had happened since his last album.
I feel you tho cause you do try to educate people on this topic. Hell, you even still educate me which is real, even if we’ve had silly back and forths in the past. So I’ll give you that. But you gotta understand HOW this thread might’ve looked given history and how fans of other artists does the same thing but you never address those people. But again, I do feel you.
Been a lot better actually
how bout you fam?
I love to hear that 🙌🏾 I’ve been managing kinda sorta, just hella tired n s*** 24/7.
Damn she might outsell Kendrick
she the new star on TDE.... for now , when she finally leaves Top Dawgs antics and straight up bullshit
Kanye isn’t a great comparison because he did the same thing with Bound 2 at the end of Yeezus
the yeezus era lasted longer than 3 months

https://twitter.com/sza/status/1601371858355441664I'm sorry but your post rubbing me the wrong way.
She also shut up the dumb Summer comparisons
I would love to see where that person that was arguing me down last year that Summer is a bigger artist go
She just real as f***. SZA has the kind of sincerity that you don't get from a lot of RnB artists
