Hey, remember when y'all said To Pimp a Butterfly, "didn't have any singles"?

[OnlyInCalifornia]

Kendrick is still getting tons of spins for These Walls on LA Radio, LV Radio, and SiriusXM

 

[CrimsonTider]

Local radio is one thing, but when ur video gets 50 million YouTube views, local radio doesn't matter as much.

The songs are hits alone, and the visuals/videos make them better.

Those songs are not hits. Kendrick just has a very strong fanbase. Those youtube plays are nothing more than fans playing the music on Youtube instead of spotify, apple music, etc because its free

The Fetty Wap songs are hits and are all over the radio, charts and clubs.

I remember when I said it was trash, cuz it is.

Pretty sure Kendrick had the most streamed ALBUM of 2015. But I'll let you cook though.

 

[The God Poster]

All they meant was he didn't have any "pop" or "club" records. Sadly that's all a majority of posters look for

You are so off base and you are bringing in another topic that has been touched on numerous times by posters like @SirBiatch @bigbadbossup2012 and others that Kendrick popularity in the real world does not match his numbers

[NatiboyB]

10 months later dude is still dropping new videos, they've all been dope and very well received. I dont listen to local radio, but every song he's officially released get a ton of airplay on XM satellite radio stations.

b-b-but it's only b/c Spotify is FREE to shuffle stream right. Those are just fan streams right?

 

[Wild self]

But outside of Drake, these club rappers don't sell shyt, or have big shows of any kind like Kendrick or Cole.

You said Kendrick was the most streamed artist in 2015

I posted Spotify 2015 stream data and Billboard's current top streamed hiphop songs.

Kendrick is nowhere to be found on any list

Kendrick has big shows?

 

[VanVanCity]

Act like a ho in your own thread brehs

 

[Wild self]

Kendrick has big shows?

Dude has a fan base that buy albums in this day and age. They determine how long you last in the rap game. Especially since he got famous since 2012 and is still going strong.
