    It did have promo (indirectly). And that’s why the internet blew up when it was released.

    What you're calling indirect promo was just people that was anticipating his next release

    That's a separate thing from album promotion

    YA ICEMAN ACE

    What is the point you're trying to make with the insistence that it was a surprise album? That it serves as a caveat and the sales expectations should be lowered?

    I started this convo and my point was y'all are comparing a surprise release to the album with beef talk after 2 years and months of heavy promo (livestreams, title been known for like a year, ice blocks, What Did I Miss, music videos etc) when there's 3 Drake albums over the past 4 years with similar marketing y'all can compare GNX to. How is it a W that Iceman outsold, it should've with all that money and effort spent on marketing That moron then tried to say a 5 second snippet at the beginning of a music video is comparable to Iceman's promo

    GNX outsold Habibti and MOH combined. Drake has never been able to do 319k fw off a surprise release even though he's dropped 3 this decade now. Kendrick is not doing 400k fw on his next album, I'll say that right now. But seriously celebrating "Iceman outsold GNX" like it's some sort of victory is clown behavior🤡

    The “he’s just a legacy act now” posters would like to have a word about this.

    Idk who that is, but anyone with a brain wasn't seriously expecting Drake to be done after the beef. I hate when y'all do this, see one or two posts and suddenly "They were saying Kendrick would do 600k first week😭" like huh

    I'm dead that y'all don't realise how celebrating Drake coming back after 2 years and months of the heaviest promo he's done this decade just to do 50k more than FATD lowkey shows how nervous y'all were. Y'all were really expecting casuals to stop listening to Drake because of NLU

    Provide posts where niggas were genuinely saying Drake is a legacy act and it's clearly not just to get a rise out of Drake stans? Should be easy since there's apparently so many of them. Niggas say s*** on here all the time just to get a reaction

    If it makes you feel any better, I don't think Kendrick doing 400k fw on his next album, even with promo. Get those "Iceman outsold (Kendrick Lamar's 7th album title)" posts ready

    I agree, but no matter how many times we say this now, they're still gonna parade and celebrate in this thread when his next album obviously sells less than 400K first week

    Damn. These are the exact same arguments from a month ago with slightly different language

    It’s Friday. Go out tonight and interact with human beings in person. Do not mention sales figures once. Good luck.

    Iceman + two actual surprise albums (MOH & Habibti) sold 600K+ in a single week, numbers wise the midget isn't creeping up! Have a good weekend ya'll

    "All that money on marketing" = a block of ice lmfao

    Drake has released two surprise solo rap albums in his career; IYRTITL (535k fw with three days tracking) and DLDT (223k fw). It would be fair to criticize DLDT as a commercial lull.. but as a counter it was a bunch of loosies and leaks thrown together and I'm pretty sure consumption was still down due to COVID in May so ehh

    And Habibti and MOH were surprise projects... R&B and dance... both released in the same week and competing directly against the solo rap project that had been promoted for over a year... so obviously a bad comparison there
