plus its worth mentioning that since damn both have gotten MORE famous but also kendrick's album is super highly anticipated

Lmao ML didnt have any videos, they played the whole thing on his apple music radio station when it dropped, it was marketed as a playlist from the beginning

this guy caleld kendrick an sjw street propher cuz he makes conscious music lmfao. An industry plant =/= someone who got a cosign btw, kendrick was underground for years and even if his first album had a hit it was still kinda known as an underground album, dre helped him but hes not a plant lmao

Kendrick’s sales are unpredictable to me.

He’s the most anticipated so that adds to sales.

If the album is experimental that takes away from streams. It’s hard to know but I just know it will be amazing

#1. It was released on a Saturday afternoon and not a Thursday night so it didn't have a full tracking week.

#2. It was released initially on OVO Sound Radio

#3. No physicals were availble until weeks after release

#4. No traditional marketing. No billboards. No ads.

#5 No music videos

you think they’d comprehend this considering the amount of numbers they talk

get em

People be saying s*** out they ass on here lmao

Yeah, but the point of the thread was to draw attention to the fact that you believe Kendrick is closer to Drake sales-wise than Drake is to Kendrick quality-wise.

no matter what its def safe to say kendrick is now as big a name as drake and a household name known everywhere in the world esp after Black panther and s*** so him outselling is not an insane idea lol add the anticipation too

site’s gonna be a s***show when they end up dropping a week between each other

Look at their most recent touring numbers and you'll see that's most definitely not safe to say. Drake did more shows in LA than Kendrick did.

everyone’s already decided which album they like more btw

? did more shows or sold out more shows? did more doesnt mean much since thats like what he picks to do

btw we talking abt the damn tour not tde one in 2018 right?

Kendrick outselling is easily more surprising. I’d be pleasantly surprised in either case.

Kendrick outselling Drake, as that would never happen + Drake got several albums that are better than Kendrick's best

drake having a better album imo just because kendrick is still huge so if he has another earth shattering song like humble plus the anticipation and the s*** w blm earlier this year i wont be surprised if he destroys s*** compared to if drake somehow comes back after like 4 years of drop in quality to deliver another classic album that beats even a KENDRICK album

I honestly feel like kendrick might underperform with his next one depending on the sound. If he goes for another accessible album? s*** might hit the stratosphere.

but if he gets back on some experimental s*** I could see him doing Cole numbers

Both? It was 7 shows to 4 and attendance was 113k to 53k. And yes, the Damn Tour

ionno nothing about shows bro im not that into s*** like that all I know is everyone knows kendrick and everyone knows drake if we being realistic its not TOTALLY INSANE for kendrick to have another crazy single w all this anticipation esp if its some conscious s*** and outsell

I literally said it’s an immovable object vs an unstoppable force

But you are so jaded that I’m not but hugging drake.

I’ve made it clear that I don’t think Kendrick will ever outsell drake. Why are you dragging it. I don’t think it’s close sales wise like everyone else thinks but of course you wouldn’t know that.

I don't see any posts of you getting mad at people suggesting Kendrick could outsell Drake. Plenty of posts of you hatin on people saying Drake could make a better album
