Drake 'Honestly, Nevermind' on pace to sell 210K first week.

[ThirdAct]

Drake is on that Eminem level where he can put out bullshyt and still sell.

True but at the same time I think people are starting to take notice. If you keep putting out projects of poor quality like this and CLB, less people are gonna wanna cop the next one.

CLB sold amazing. This is just an experimental chit he decided to put out, and threw in "Jimmy Cooks" as a song saying "I still got this rap chit when I want to"

Kendrick outsold. 295K first week.

Drake Stan’s copping pleas already.

Figured this would be the narrative Stanley’s would conjure up

Must be a bunch of females streaming it. That's what his music caters to.

Remember when all drake stan always had sales on their side? Now they don’t have the top dog spot. It’s a great day to see.

long hiatus works against his advantage..

Drake stans having a meltdown

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.

300K x 1500 = 450M streams. On a planet of 8 billion (obviously not every single person is consuming) hitting replay buttons this possible. But the fact that global entities give us RIAA numbers is bullshyt.

And we'd been waiting 5 years for a Kendrick album. Drake dropped one 9 months ago.

Kendrick doesn't sell like Drake, we know that already.

High selling because he's Drake but the reception wasn't good. Mostly everyone outside of his stanleys agree it was a snoozefest. And so is this. If he keeps putting out weak watered down product more and more people are gonna start checking out.

This site is so facetious
