Midrick S***far

Just take a look at the first 20 pages a lot of those predictions aged horribly. Actually this whole thread is the perfect culmination of this rollout. Kendrick stans went through every phase from arrogant and smug all the way to defeated and lashing out

Thread started out suggesting Kendrick might underperform, op got called a biased Drake stan, a month later thread came full circle now that Kendrick underperformed. This thread had it's own arc

Not gonna lie I didn’t really believe op either, spreadsheet doubters got work to do

oh nah

Realistically that should be like 10 listens then, average person not playing an album 1500 times. Maybe 50-100

Drake fans celebrating this like they can look another adult in the eyes and say CLB is a finer piece of art then MMATBS.

Let’s stop the cap. Drake is a more commercially successful artist then Kendrick and he always has been.

Transformers movies made more money then all of Daniel Day Lewis’ movies in the 2000’s. Who here gonna be able to swear on their mommas and not fear of the repercussions that Transformers is a better movie then There Will Be Blood or Gangs of New York?

Bro why you even tryna discuss s*** w them

They been hating on great music for a min now just cause Drake beefed w the person or they feel weirdly threatened for no reason. They did the same w The Weeknd while Dawn FM a great album

They cant understand music can be good while not being that popular. If they was fans of music fr they wouldnt celebrate s*** like this. Cause they pan music based on sales which is really sad tbh

Fam, it’s an insult to CLB to compare an album designed for critic bait that did half the numbers to the GOAT’s offering.

Ahh now i understand you hating on the album every chance you get. Another Drake stan in his feelings

I think Drake is the GOAT (at least one of them) therefore it makes sense that I didn’t like a snoozefest masquerading as deep art. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Im gonna sell my tickets to see Kendrick cos of this. I simple CANNOT accept watching this guy give another amazing live tour, knowing he didnt even sell half of CLB. I AM FUMING! Mr Morale sucks now!

If you comparing Kendrick to Daniel Day-Lewis this album was his Nine

Drake is a great artist. And so is Kendrick. Totally different artists tho. That you can't understand an album and have to label it as masquerading deep art is sad tho. The lyrical content is actually very interesting and intricate

But i dont even know why i discuss an album with someone who dislikes it since day 1

Gotta say, it’s pretty funny that Kendrick had to come back after 5 years just to tell his fans that he’s not the messiah and that he has way too many skeletons and personal baggage to be thier savior

Dude basically said stop d***eating

again its because HDD uses a different formula to calculate first week sales than Billboard. they are pretty much always different and recently they've been overestimating which isn't a good sign.

I've noticed people on here and reddit confuse HDD and Billboard. the significance of HDD is you at least get some sort of projections before Billboard releases final numbers

Kendrick fans just don’t understand what it means to be a lesbian

I think you need to listen to more music, especially outside rap. If Kendrick is deep to you, great. To me it’s not. For me simple music can be deep, it doesn’t need to come in a certain package.

For me MMBS is the kind of fake deep art that becomes a caricature of itself. Before Kendrick was deep and a social force for Good because he was continuing Pac’s legacy. Now Kendrick is deep because he is doing the opposite of that and isn’t a saviour 😂

If something was truly deep to you, you wouldn’t seek validation by pulling me up. It’d be deep for you and that’d be enough.

But I think you simply think it’s “objectively” amazing so no one could legitimately think it’s ass.

The most introspective songs on CLB (Champagne Poetry, 7am, The Remorse) exhibit a far higher level of artistry than anything on MMBS. In fact, even songs like Pipe Down are far more interesting to listen to as a lyrical metaphor and the flow/hook actually make it a bop. It’s even introspective.

People like you think it’s actually wrong to say artistically CLB is better than MMBS and like to reason away the streams down to “Drake is a mainstream rapper”. Fam Kendrick is a mainstream rapper.

There are no genres, if you do “you” right it doesn’t matter what kind of music you make it will be mainstream. You just fail to get it: for a lot of people CLB is the BETTER album :​

My underage white gf would leave me if I stopped listening to clb

Exactly:

Girls Want Girls vs Auntie Diaries

Idc if people like CLB more tho? Power to them. Like what you like imo

I listen to enough music. That's also one of the reasons why i actually can appreciate the album. I have no idea why you're trying to insult me cause i enjoy MMBS. It seems really personal for you actually

Pulling someones music down based on sales or a relationship w another artist kinda sad imo tho. Cause it seems you have a problem w it based on your stannery. And every post of you confirms that. You don't even go in depth with your criticism or give me examples, so we can't really discuss the music if the only things you keep saying is s*** like 'fake deep', 'trash' etc.
