You're comparing a song that dropped 7 years ago to a song that dropped 2 months ago? Y'all gotta let common sense prevail every once in a while. NLU has charted better, has gained more streams and has sold way more units in 2 months than Humble did.

Why didn’t the Drake stimulus work on his own songs during the beef?

Stop trying to discredit Kendrick just bc he turned your fav into a joke 😭

Majority of Drake fans don't care about his beefs, that's why he has countless hit records that AREN'T diss songs.

I'm not saying anything that's untrue. Everything Kendrick dropped after DAMN and even after MMATBS flopped on the charts. It wasn't until he went at Drake that he got a legit hit again because y'all didn't give a f*** about that he had to say till it involved Drake. That's a fact. It's also a fact that NLU is well on its way to being his biggest hit record. It'll definitely end its run as it's biggest chart hit but it'll be some time before it accumulates more streams and moves more units than HUMBLE.

The black panther album dropped after damn

That wasn't a solo album and I'm speaking more about singles.

I'm not suggesting Drake is entirely the reason for NLU's success but to act like he doesn't have anything to do with how big that song got is being disingenuous. It's also not inaccurate to say the song is/will eventually be Kendrick's biggest song. No other Kendrick song has broken as many records or set as many streaming milestones.

I mean wasn’t all the stars a hit

It’s his third biggest record ever and in its way to becoming a diamond single.

Kings Dead from black panther won a Grammy

Big Shot and Pray for Me also were hits

They love moving the goal post. Kendrick has had one album cycle after DAMN. With that cycle he broke the record for touring.

Stop pretending like every album cycle has to have this major hit record or impact on the charts.

TPAB had zero hits that affected the charts. Alright became a hit because of the protest. All of its hits were organic.

This literally falls in line with Kendrick’s process.

One album filled with hits
One album that’s more centered topically and less accessible

Rinse repeat.

Also Black Panther had a song that won Grammy. All The Stars will be diamond in like 4 years lol. It also had the Travis record and The Weeknd record.

That album alone had line 4 legit hits and 2 more mini hits.

They did an entire next Tour off the success of that album.

That album was huge. As I said she is acting like Kendrick had multiple albums after Damn. He had one and it was a personal album that wasn’t trying to have a bunch of hits.

Again, I'm speaking of SINGLES, not albums. MMATBS had 3 singles, all of which were radio-friendly enough but they didn't catch on to become even moderate hits. Even his collabs with Baby Keem that tend to do some damage didn't do anything when The Hillbillies dropped. He then hopped on a remix of a Beyoncè song that also didn't do s***.

My point is that nothing really took off from at least the MMATBS era till Like That. Nothing he dropped was sticking or even having any sort of cultural impact. He needed to diss Drake to get that clout back and that's a fact.

Of course, that doesn't take anything away from him as an artist. He doesn't need Drake to sell out tours or score big album debuts. All I'm saying is that s*** was mad dry for Kendrick in terms of any of his songs catching on till Like That. If you wanna go back to a Kendrick hit prior to this beef, you'll have to go back to 2018. That says a lot.

I’m not seeing this diss stimulus that Drake has on Kendrick.
