@DevonESawa Lmao you and two other people are the only ones who think this

@Vagabondlivess @_kaysway_ Yeah I been knowing about Kendrick guy. I got one of his first mixtapes when he first started making noise in ‘09. I’m saying the casual listener didn’t know about Section 80 until he blew up. Therefore, it was an “album to look up” for those listeners.
English
@Adam_G630 @_kaysway_ He was also in multiple Mac miller etc blog era rapper songs, so I get it that you’re a tourist but the truth is people that cared about rap already knew about Kendrick
English
Kendrick had DRAKE.
Let’s not skip over that important part of hip hop history.
DME 🇳🇦@dme_363
Coming up, Drake had Lil Wayne; J. Cole had Jay-Z; Kendrick Lamar just had Kendrick Lamar.
English
@TheHipHopCrave Drake also held the top 3 spots while Kendrick was somewhere between 1-10 lol

DRAKE JOINS KENDRICK LAMAR AS THE ONLY RAPPERS TO CHART THREE ALBUMS IN THE TOP 10 OF THE BILLBOARD 200 IN A SINGLE WEEK
Drake:
🥇 ICEMAN (#1)
🥈 MAID OF HONOUR (#2)
🥉HABIBTI (#3)
Kendrick Lamar:
🥇 GNX (#1)
💿 DAMN. (#9
💿 good kid, m.A.A.d city (#10)
Kendrick did this following his SuperBowl Halftime Show performance. Drake did it with three brand new albums debuting at the same time.

@Vagabondlivess @_kaysway_ Lmao bruh Section 80 was an album for people to go look up after Kendrick got put on. Ain’t nobody searching that album before that
English
@_kaysway_ Section 80 dropped before Kendrick ever met Drake and he was popping on his own
English
@SanttttiMuks01 Each of these three album was buns. ICEMAN definitely saved hip-hop
English
The whole Iceman isn't even better than disc 29 & you're talking about Hip-hop being a a rough spot. Please continue vibing to someone rapping about dick sizes.

Hip hop was in a rough spot before ICEMAN 😭

@0thatdude0 Most notable was the Pulitzer. Other than that, all his main records came off the back of Not Like Us which was fueled by the Drake beef
English
@Adam_G630 Ohh like he didn’t break records before engaging in that rap battle?
You can’t be slow

So with a two year rollout compared to a surprise drop
First day 7 hr drop with 44m compared to drake with 140m
More promo
6 More songs
More antics
Drake finishes with 450m
Kenny had 363m
That’s 87m gap
So basically the difference between GNX and iceman was those 17hrs tracking

@UGOOOTWEETS One also took a whole beef with Drake to promote his album. If he doesn’t beef with Drake prior, that surprise drop is a flop. Had to drop Drake’s name to get sales.
English
Iceman by Drake - 450 million streams first week
GNX by Kendrick Lamar - 360 million streams first week
One took a 2 year promo, streamers and lawsuit and freezing the CN tower to achieve.
The other was a surprise drop.

@keep6ixsolid Funny that when Drake does this he’s a lame, but if Kendrick do something like this he the GOAT. Ya’ll corny..

He's been sending Lebron a message 💀

@UGOOOTWEETS Crazy cuz until 2024 Kendrick could never hang with Drake on the charts…
English
Kendrick had 7 songs in the top 10 of the billboard hot 100 when GNX dropped
Luther went on to spend 13 weeks at no1.
That Iceman album by Drake wouldn’t survive the 2024 charts with these monster hits 😂
English
@1youngmetro Hahaha damn my man’s crying cuz his boy flipped sides on him. Poor boy…but at least you still got them drums!
English
@Hittaj3tml Damn, Drake really got bro in his feelings today lmfao!! Living in man’s head rent free!
English
@Hittaj3tml @thegame You talkin like you ain’t one of the biggest haters on this app…smh
English
I’ll admit @thegame ain’t no hater like half these people on this app west coast icons not gone lie #SupportCompton #DoYaDance m.youtube.com/watch?v=dpwkKJ…

@MixTapeOG @Bobby_Drake313 With streaming you don’t necessarily need to purchase the album anymore is what I’m saying. So yeah, sales are gonna be lower…
English
@Adam_G630 @Bobby_Drake313 Exactly! Ur helping the argument..
You can get on a free Spotify app, stream for free, and Drake gets credit for sales…
Back in the day, 🥷 had to get $15-$20, catch bus to a music store, AND actually buy an album to get credited for a sale.
Drake has it MUCH easier 💯🎯

Them OVHOES was on here clownin Nas sales and he outsold Aubrey wit pure sales karma a muthafucka 🤣🤣🤣🤣
