    Also outselling an older album by America's latest favourite Aryan wet dream superstar, so you dumbasses really have no point.

    No, they don't like to talk about the album because it's his worst-performing album commercially since Section 80. They'd rather talk about the Mr. Morale tour when they wanna talk about the success he enjoyed during that period than the actual album.

    This is just straight up false

    Kendrick stans love talking about Mr. Morale

    Kendrick stans don't like to talk about that album. It never happened, according to them.

    Kinda like how Drake stans rarely mention that Drake’s 7th studio album was a massive flop, right?

    It clearly wasn't that bad because before 2 years after its release, people were already doing a 180° turn on the album.

    What happened with the album is what happens with all of Drake's music: people go into it with a set mind on what the music MUST be and when it doesn't turn out to be that, they call it trash, as opposed to how people approach the music of most other artists, which is judging it on its own merit and deciding if it's good and going from there.

    With all due respect, this is exact same thing that every rap fanbase says about their favorite rapper's catalog.

    "Niggas hate it at first but warm up to it after a while."

    I'm not even disagreeing with you per say, I'm just saying that's a flawed logic that damn near every rap fanbase says.

    no the album performed really badly. short term and long term. He actually tried to have a tiktok moment with N95 too but completeley fell flat. All the social commentary was neutered self help advice. It sold 20 units a week 1 year after release. By far his worst most uninspired album.

    You're silly if you don't think the beef played into the success of GNX. It's thousands of people who went to the Grand National Tour just to see Kendrick perform Not Like Us. Many of them have admitted as much.

    most people i know either went to the show to see Kendrick perform or to see SZA perform, which is why her set was equally as long lmfao

    you talking from the outside and from the few statements you seen on Twitter is not telling what the million+ are attending the show for that’s literally named after the album

    Are you stupid? What album is meant to have sold more? An album that dropped 5 months ago or one that dropped 8 months ago?

    My statement isn't invalid. I didn't go to the tour myself but I know of at least 5 friends who went. 3 went to multiple shows because they're huge fans and 2 went to different dates and they all said the same thing: the crowds were most lit when Kendrick performed Not Like Us (and euphoria, to a lesser degree). They were surprised at how many people didn't go up for his older hits (even though many people did, when he performed his hits from GKMC/DAMN, the crowd reception wasn't as crazy as when he did the diss tracks + Luther). 5 different people told me that and I've seen enough clips to verify what they said as true. It's not even that surprising to me. The beef is the biggest event that's happened in Kendrick's career, it's the event most people remember due to its recency and Luther is his biggest hit yet (especially on radio, so it has reached further than any of his other hits have).

    No one is saying Kendrick didn't have fans or that he wasn't a superstar before the beef but it's disingenuous to act like there weren't thousands of people who bought tickets to the tour just to watch him perform Not Like Us.

    The GNX tour was announced and it was thousands of AMERICANS who rushed to buy tickets to the Toronto shows to watch him "bury Drake in his city" so what are you talking about about? I'm not even saying it's a bad thing. He capitalized off the moment, which is what anybody with common sense would do. Just don't act like he didn't do that. That's what's being dishonest.
