    yall should try day trading

    forreal
    i do trading and i still spend too much time going back and forth with eople here. People here spend so much more energy that can be used somewhere and even monetized here.

    As much as I disagree with some people here, I still feel shocked someone like TGD who is so invested in this isn't monetizing and making minimum 5K a month out of this as a side hustle. Make a website or something. It's literally getting paid for what you already do.

    Any source? Like I said it only went #1 in 6 countries on spotify, mostly small countries except USA/Canada

    NLU Global Streams: 1.05 billion
    US streams: 470 million

    Also the song just did 11 million global with 4.5 million of those being from the US.

    https://kworb.net/spotify/country/global_daily.html#google_vignette

    By these numbers, majority of its streams are still from the US. If 1 country accounts for almost half of its total streams, that means the rest of its streams come from the other 75 countries Spotify counts streams from and I bet markets like the UK, Australia and Canada make up at least 85-90% of its total streams so yeah, it isn't a huge song outside the US (and that's okay, most rap songs aren't).

    Still crazy to me how Drake/hockey stans keep acting like he’s 10x bigger than Kendrick lol. I don’t get it. Kendrick’s biggest hits are just as big as Drake’s and he actually has more of them. The only real outlier for Drake is “One Dance" other than that they’re pretty much on the same level when it comes to big hits (songs with over 1.5 billion streams).

    TOP 5 (without One Dance):

    Drake: God's Plan 2.7 Billion (700k daily)
    Kendrick: Humble: 2.5 Billion (1.6M daily/20x Platinum)

    Drake: Sicko Mode: 2.3 Billion (650k daily)
    Kendrick: Goosebumps: 2.7 Billion (1.2M daily)

    Drake: Passionfruit 1.8 Billion (700k daily)
    Kendrick: All The Stars 2 Billion (2.8M daily)

    Drake: Work: 1.5 Billion (400k daily)
    Kendrick: Money Trees: 1.7 Billion (1.7M Daily)

    Drake: In My Feelings: 1.43 Billion (144k daily lol)
    Kendrick: Love: 1.52 Billion (900k daily)

    Hotline Bling: 1.42 Billion (400k daily)
    DNA: 1.3 Billion (600k daily)

    Most of Drake’s biggest hits ain't even pulling 500K streams a day while Kendrick’s are doing millions daily. NLU is already at 1.1B streams and will pass God’s Plan within two years.

    And considering Kendrick has released two non commercial albums (TPAB and MM) his numbers are even more impressive.

    On top of that, Drake has released nearly 10 more major albums than Kendrick. His numbers just ain't as impressive as some of yall try to make them seem no matter how much yall twist it. If Drake is a superstar then so is Kendrick.

    Drake is definitely not 10x bigger than Kendrick lol.

    Where'd you see the # of US streams?

    The song has performed meh on charts everywhere outside of the US I've checked. Definitely not enough to call it the biggest rap song of all time

    Lol @ NLU passing God's Plan within 2 years

    Bro doesn't understand how fast rap hits fall off

    If you only compare the top 5~ songs, yes theyre on teh same level

    This is NLU accomplishments within it's first year:

    • Going to be diamond soon
    • Anthem for sports teams unlike any rap song before.
    • 5X Grammies including SOTY, ROTY while not having cookie cutter content.
    • Performed at the Superbowl
    • S*** being so vile got adopted by countless multinational companies for memes as soon as it came out and still exists til this day. Shoutout dualingo.

    No rap song, let alone a rap song calling someone a pdf and giving a history lesson to someone who makes mockery of slavery has gotten close to this.

    All this while s*** a cultural phenomenon being played everywhere at cookouts and clubs and being a pure rap diss song.

    Only Lose Yourself and In Da Club in the convo and NLU will surpass that as well. This song is engrained in HBCU anthems till the end of time

    All this while being unapologetically black

    Lol at you ignoring 99% of what I said. This is what happens when someone posts facts

    The whole point is NLU is not falling off, just like Kendrick's discography.

    Money Trees didn't even chart and is a diamond eligible song. NLU has shown longevity, it's literally the longest charting song at #1 on apple this decade with most days being at the top.

  • Feb 11, 2025

    now go compare the top 50. and you'll see how big the gap is

    Drake has nearly 300 more songs than Kendrick and that’s the only reason for the gap. Why troll?

    Drake has 489 songs, Kendrick has 230 which is roughly 45% of Drake’s total. When you factor that in that means they’re practically even.

    Plus both of them are on track to have two diamond albums. Kendrick’s numbers are undeniably more impressive.

    Literally every rap song is going to have the majority of its streams from the US when you divide it like that. It’s by far the biggest streaming market in the world.

    We’re talking outside the US period. That’s 7 million daily streams that were garnered outside of the US. You can’t say the song isn’t huge globally.

    It's really something else. Imagine thinking Drake's 2018 on Billboard (probably a top 3 biggest year any artist has had on Billboard this century), isn't as close as Bad Bunny's year in 2022. And saying that with confidence when the numbers can easily be pulled up

    Drake will have like 7-10 diamonds from 2018 soon
