    Album wasn't that accessible anyway, I think folks probably got turned off from We Cry Together and even Auntie Diaries

    Didn’t have a proper rollout either but it’s mostly just the public not fw the album musically and rapping wise. It can be a bit of a chore to listen to with glimmers of great moments sprinkled throughout.

    Yeah accessibility is an issue but it’s nowhere near the #1 thing. There’s also Kendrick’s alienation from a lot of people who fw him which is something that isn’t being talked about enough

    Or maybe it just simply didn’t appeal to teenagers

    Kendrick makes music for real men

    Agreed, sales = quality

    Fans stopped listening after day 1. Why is that?

    Sales = people liking it after first day

    Lmao not at all, I’ve seen transformers more times than I’ve seen blade runner.

    In no circumstance do I think it’s better.

    Certain music is background/study music also some songs work better in different environments… I’m pretty sure you know this tho.

    Cause it’s a heavy ass album that deals with complex subject matter? Lmao

    Y’all use the term fast food music wrong. The meaning of it is low effort or easy to make. Idk where the replay value narrative came from

    not really, projections had him at 320-350k.

    300k woulda looked bad but 285k was looking horrendous yesterday.

    Yeah but that's your opinion. Someone else might see Blade Runner more but still prefer Transformers
