He hasn’t had a solo smash hit all decade lol

it's okay it's a slightly exaggerated version of what some of these people think so I can understand you seeing at face value

for using the r word however I have reported you, and you will be seeing an invoice from sab very soon

Watchu mean? Nokia was song of the summer for 3 days in April

So he’s 1/6 this decade?

Dark Lane Demo Tapes - came and went
Certified Lover Boy - highly successful ✅
Honestly, Nevermind - critically panned, commercial failure
Her Loss - mild success
For All The Dogs - moderate success, retroactively panned after the beef
$ome $exy $ongs 4 U - forgettable outside of one song

just found out gnx tour failed to outgross drake's last north american tour? cant be true?

Drake fans spreading misinformation as always

Drake Tour - roughly $350 million - 80 shows - Finished

Kendrick tour - roughly $250 million - 23 shows - not finished

Don't let them fool you with misleading statistics, not looking into things behind loud online opinions is one of the bigger reasons the world is f***ed up at the moment

About the right time to say that ALL sales do not matter when discussing the quality of the music at any level

And if we can't agree on that then you're genuinely all nuts

cope. his north american tour is done. we are comparing north american tours

trying to compare a north american tour to a world tour is what would be misleading

This is simple math.

It’s All a Blur:

• $320M gross, 1.325M tickets sold, 80 shows total.
• $320M divided by 1.325M equals an average ticket price of $241.
• $320M divided by 80 equals a average gross of $4M per show.
• 1.325M divided by 80 equals an average attendance of 16K per show.

Grand National:

• $256M gross, 1.1M tickets sold, 23 North American shows total.
• $256M divided by 1.1M equals an average ticket price of $232.
• $256M divided by 23 equals an average gross of $11.1M per show.
• 1.1M divided by 23 equals an average attendance of 47K per show.

So, yes, Drake’s total gross is higher, but that’s because his average ticket price was $10 higher than Kendrick’s, and he had to do an additional 57 shows to have the higher number.

If It’s All a Blur was only 23 shows total, it only would’ve grossed $92M, and only would’ve sold 368K tickets.

If Grand National was 80 shows long in North America alone, it would’ve grossed $888M (would’ve been impossible, stadium shows are always shorter), and it would’ve sold 3.7M tickets (again, extremely unlikely for one continent’s leg of a stadium tour).

comparing a 23 stop stadium tour to a 80 stop arena tour is redundant

both sides can twist to fit a point of who did better

drake lost the beef though, and that will never change

Well, Drake's tour was entirely played in North American cities. It's silly to compare a stadium tour that's playing to multiple markets to an arena tour that didn't, especially when the stadium tour is already grossing way more money off fewer shows because its playing to a higher average audience per show than an arena tour lol.

Drake played 80 arena shows, grossed $320M from 1.3M tickets sold and averaged 16.5k tickets per show.

Kendrick/SZA played 23 stadium shows, grossed $256M from 1.1M tickets sold and averaged 47.8k tickets per show.

It'd have taken Drake 28 stadium shows to gross $320M and it'd have taken him 22 stadium shows to gross $256M — if he played the same stadium capacity Kendrick/SZA did. Meanwhile, it'd have taken Kendrick/SZA 29 shows to gross $320M, playing at their current stadium capacity.

The larger point here is that both tours were very successful. Drake averaged $4M per show, playing to an average audience of 16.5k per show. Kendrick/SZA averaged $11M per show, playing to an average audience of 47.8k per show.

^literally just said all of these words lmao

Obviously, Kendrick/SZA's tour will end up grossing more because they have 18 more shows to play across Europe/Australia but just comparing their North American dates, Drake's tour was just as successful, if not a bit more. He just had to play more shows because he played arenas and not stadiums.

who said gnx flopped 🙄

Yall lie so bad.

"dude talking like C3 didnt do a million" like that was awhile ago...

Kendrick stans really just get on her and lie 😭

mr morale just passed 2.2 million units this year.

somebody loves me a summer smash hit, "every dj playing it"

just wait.

never engage with a WRF post seriously

cmon man

especially when he posting from some harry potter looking ass under the stairs closet in UK talking about American tour

The conversation started based on Spotify numbers. Mr. Morale and For All The Dogs have very similar Spotify numbers

kendrick is the least popular rapper on the face of the planet and has no fans. his next album will sell no copies.

Not a single person on earth heard of him till the beef

His own mother didn’t even know she had a child

god help this thread if the next solo kendrick and drake albums release in the same quarter
