I feel you. Didn’t mean Future/21 specifically, but a few big mainstream artists on that type of level on commercial sounding tracks. Kendrick typically doesn’t go for other big rappers, so I doubt it anyways.

“It’s a playlist”
“It’s a dance album”
“He dropped three albums”

They went from calling this the biggest album release ever to “at least we still can outsell the surprise album GNX”

Yea outside of like 5 rappers no rapper would really add anything sales wise. Kendrick and Drake are so big and so many people fell off even from 3-4 years ago. They dont really need to work with big rappers to sell. For them feats should be elevating the music.

I kinda agree tho if kendrick wanted to now he could outsell Drake but it would take stepping out the box. Kendrick could easily sellout and get huge pop feats cause they all like him. Gnx or damn 2 is not enough though.

But he could get Taylor, Sza, Miley, Bruno, Lady Gaga, BTS etc they would all give him a feat if he asked imo. maybe even rihanna and beyonce. Then still have rap songs for his core audience.

again, you so worried about kendrick you cant just enjoy the music. is drake not the best just because you love his music the most? wtf do numbers got to do with it?

if numbers don't matter why are you guys in here caping for kendrick

im out here laughing at the over emphasis of numbers. and yes, its funny when people(like some drake fans) make s*** all about numbers and then the numbers show that poeple tuned in to see what he'd say and then tuned out. its the duality of it, dont say the numbers make him the best and then when the numbers dont reflect that then it must be cause of an orchestrated elimination or bots

f*** the numbers, if the music is dope to you then its dope

you writing essays in the numbers thread. you're not convincing anyone you're above it all

and you not convincing anyone you're not salty so where does that leave us?

that someone who cares a lot about sales for his favorite artist but writes essays to convince others he doesn't is a loser

I mean if the shoe fits talk a walk in the mf bro

bro just told u to enjoy the music and not obsess over the numbers and ur response is to personally attack him 😭😭😭

thread is pure comedy

yes lol if someone posts in here a lot to push narratives to favor their favorite rapper, they can't turn around and pretend to not care about numbers when they get pushback. thats loser s***

Of course he’s trying to validate it as if dude wasn’t just having a normal conversation, it’s like a weird defense mechanism

This projected to do 400k+ right? Whats all the hoot and hollerin about?

Taylor wont even finish top 10 btw Actually incredible that she's seen in the #1 tier

exactly what you were doing with gnx btw

But but but its 12 songs!
but but but surprise release!

you had 20+ posts on KTT telling everyone it was gonna do a million first week LMAO

GNX about to drop out of the top 100 next week

Can't have your cake and eat it too -- having more tracks on an album provides the opportunity for more total streams, as you love to point out, AND dilutes total streams across the album so individual tracks will receive less attention. Feel like this is just common sense

in reality this is just FATD again lol. Which is good for Drake, this means he's a sales giant regardless of the beef, but niggas were gassing this up like he dropped Carter 3

stan s*** aside, is having a fewer amount of songs not a logical reason why an album would have less streams?

If some new s*** just dropped and I have enough time to listen to 24 songs... I can listen to every song on a 12-track album 2x OR listen to every song on a 24-track album 1x. To ignore this is to assume that somehow everyone has unlimited music-listening time which is just kind of dumb
