Kendrick last album sold more than drakes kendRick has surpassed him in popularity
drakes album if i remember correctly was given restrictions on it, plus did not have a digital copies

Drake proved his popularity at #1 by releasing Gods plan which is #1 and has over 70 Million views on YT and growing

then you got that "look alive" video which did more than that "Kings dead" shyt by Kendrick in views and unlike "Kings dead" which has 2 of the biggest artist out now(Ken and future, the former you state is the most popular ) "Look alive" had only drake with a unknown artist and just off the strength of him(Drake) its popular as hell

nikka "streams of songs" is how Kendrick's album sold so much

some of DAMN's sales are basically owed to the singles "Humble" "DNA" tons of people didnt even play the album let alone listen to it after the first time and only played the singles.

so how you gonna undermine "stream of songs" :hhh:

Drake is more popular, there is nothing debatable on this.

Bunch of people have mentioned it...He mos def has a big female fanbase, they just don't give a single fukk bout his actual music... He's done multiple shows here in STL, in the type of hood $2 Tuesday type clubs where 99.9% of rappers of his ilk (contemporary non mainstream new York centric type acts) would never get booked... Full of hoes fawning over him without knowing a single verse lol...Went to one of them cause my homie the promoter and I wanted to see his show on some hip hop shyt, and it was broads on social media the next day trying to clown dudes for being there like it's suspect for males to be at a Dave East show :mjlol:

A lot of his draw on the road definitely some "random Instagram hoe/model or Black Ink cast member" hosting gig type shyt... He just happens to be a actual rapper

Not really because these women don't necessarily like his music, they just like him. If you have a strong ass female base who love you and your music then you will win because women support, ask Justin Bieber and Drake and Beyonce, etc...

The key is to have teenage white girls on your side.
That's how Drake,Asap,Travis did it.
East got that baby mother fan base.

His female fanbase is overstated in the first place on the low. Just cuz the nikka did a song with Chris Brown and a few hood boogers like him cuz he lightskin dont neccessarily mean the nikka LL Cool J. I think street nikkas fukk with him more and we all know street nikkas dont buy shyt. He aint selling nothing for nikkas to attach to either. nikkas like Kendrick came on selling that "HiiiPower", being a part of this "woke" black persona. A nikka like Nipsey you connect with on some ambition/slow grind shyt which is everybody in life. Brah barrly popped with a NaS cosign and his CDs as a full are too inconsistent. He got potential but nikka need to take that next step.

nothing but truth but the bolded got me :mjlol:
