Kendrick sells only 286k first week….Flop?

[Pool_Shark]

Album sounds way better in concert.

Just sucks not knowing all the words to his new shyt

 

[King Karim]

All his albums have sounded different but I def feel like this one had a clear regression on lyrics, flow and rapping. There's some great writing on the album in places, but other places I was left baffled at some of the weak mainstream attempts. N95 sounds corny to me, especially the second verse with the voice change. It felt like it was supposed to be the DNA type track on here but you can play DNA in the whip, in the club, etc.

There's also this weird, Kanye-esque troll or "post-rap" type shyt that is very hit or miss. Before this album think about like...Future's verse on King's Dead, or Kanye's verse on That Part by Q. These memorably corny parts of songs that end up becoming incredibly catchy, become quotable, go viral, and are popular live. There was a lot of that on Keem's album. Top 'o the morning. Most of Range Brothers. On the album this led to stuff that works ("bytch I'm attractive") and other things that are mixed "push these nikkas off like..." and his verses on Silent Hill). You can tell that's Keem's influence and it's just not...wavy to me. It's kind of corny.

Then finally I don't fukk with having Kodak all over an album that culminates in a story about the damage sexual assault does to men and women. Or the more conceptual songs that aren't enjoyable. I "like" We Cry Together but have no real interest in hearing it again. Same with Auntie's Diaries, and even Mother I Sober. Some will say because they're too heavy but...I don't think that's it. Mother I Sober is a great song but going back to the Kodak thing...the ending kind of falls flat.

Not a bad album but incredibly flawed to me. And jarring because I legit didn't think Kendrick had dropped a "bad" song since Section80 (No Makeup).

u just have bad taste in music and that's ok

How the fukk is GKMC still charting this high lmao?



There's no way it's only a Triple Platinum record at this point.

After 5 and a half months, this album did not chart in the top 50
Flop of the Willenium

This really didn’t have legs

This really didn’t have legs

So 24 weeks in the top 50 = really didn’t have legs?
What is the cut off for having legs? A full 52 weeks?

Most albums with legs spend a considerable amount of weeks in the top 20. Futures album has legs, Lil durks album has legs, Lil baby my turn has legs, certified lover boy has legs.

But this isn’t a loss for Kendrick he still went platinum. So saying MM&BS doesn’t have legs doesn’t mean anything.

What is the threshold for “a considerable amount of weeks in the top 20”?

I’ll say at least 8 months to a year in the top 20.

Ok. Still too early to tell for Future then.

how many albums do that? Plus... streaming numbers are all over the place. You got Apple out here throwing some albums on every playlist and others get no promotion at all..

Doja cat album was top 20 almost a year. Certified lover boy has been top 15 and 20 for a year. SZA album did that. If you actually kept up with it you’ll know. Future album looks like it’ll be there too. It just recently dropped out of the top 10.

Streaming numbers aren’t all over the place. You sound like you’re kind of ignorant on the subject but that’s no issue we touched on it a few times in this thread
