I’m telling ya’ll its not about Drake Vs Kendrick.


Drake’s flop doesn’t reflect on Kendrick and Kendrick not reaching Damn levels of sales doesn’t reflect upon Drake. Neither are W’s for the other.

Their in two different lanes. We been trying to force them to be different sides of the same coin because fans desperately want this generation’s Nas Vs Jay-Z and its NOT going to happen. These dudes don’t give two fukks about one another beyond 2017. They’re running completely different races.



And taking that out of the equation I STILL think the biggest losers in all of this are the artists themselves; and i’m talking ALL popular artists. The fact that streaming sales are set up the way they are is disgusting and a disservice to everyone involved. There’s no WAY that Cole, Drake, Kanye, & Kendrick are literally setting new records for first day streams, midweek streams, weekend streams, etc. Doing like 140 gazillion streams their first week and that only equals 250-300K. That shyt makes NO SENSE whatsoever and just feels like another way for labels to make money hand over fist while claiming that the biggest artists aren’t hitting “sales projections” and denying them leverage in future negotiations.
man stop it, if anything, these fugazi streaming counts are giving these dudes bloated "records" off something we could never do in the past, count every single time every person who purchased an album played every single song. i can only imagine what the real records would look like counting the 10M people who bought thriller and multiplying every single song play from that album. lastly, the hell yall really expecting from the industry? only so much revenue can be squeezed from a user paying 9.99/month to listen to absolutely everything when they want and however many times, they used to get 9.99 per album, now they splitting 9.99/month across people listening to 10-100 projects...
