Cole was an arena tour but dont try to sidestep and the question on why Kendrick hasn't done his own headlining tour since thats where artist make most of their money.

Getting played on the radio doesnt sell albums a fanbase that actually buys music does and thats it. Kendrick has a sizable mostly waistcoats fanbase that buys his albums but it isn't big enough to make him more relevant than Cole or Future

I already disproved the arena claim about Cole, not going to do it again. You can do your own research on that.

So Kendrick has an insular fanbase but Cole doesn't? Laughable.

And in terms of pushes no one is on Drake's level. If Kendrick had god tier push how come even Alright didn't get radio play?

People also buy record sales
But you're acting as if it's etched in stone that he sold records.
Like I said ,his numbers aint matching up

Actually buying records is not a common practice, much less at Interscope. A label is more likely to purchase singles.

lmao at this nonsense.
It has been known for years ,people buying albums
nikkas just making up shyt

Actually it's not. And having actually worked in the music industry I'll say the idea is laughable today. Budgets are being slashed everywhere, you really think labels out here buying up records on some huge level to make someone go platinum? lol

Streaming numbers? Yea, there's some fukkery going on.

And no Kendrick does not have Drake's push. Kendrick has the Interscope machine and everything that comes with it, including early access to the dopest production. Marketing, festivals, connections, sure. But not Drake level.

Wrong,he just can't deliver like drake.
Or former interscop stars like 50,em.
Coming up with BS sales to help secure top slots on festivals makes sense to me.
I'd believe that before i believe millions of people ignoring his singles etc ,yet buying his albums

No one is on Kendrick level when it comes to pushes.

He shyt doesn't take to radio because he isn't popular as y'all would like to believe

Considering Kdots first two album sales,he should be up there where 50 used to be. But he never remotely reached that cause it's a farce

It's funny how kendrick hides on festivals.
All his accomplishments come from shyt that has nothing to do with ACTUAL success
You cant gauge how big someone is by being on festivals.
For someone whom sold as many albums as he has,he should be headlining his own big tour,but i dont think he can.

Also getting on big award shows mean nothing.

His list of memorBLE SONGS is very short
The biggest moment of his career is CONTROL

ASAP Rocky headlines festivals and performs on awards shows too :mjlol:

And he's not even as popular or listened to as maybe Big Sean at this point
