Lets be real...Kendrick Lamar hasn't dropped because he doesn't have a record to top #1 Humble

[NoHalfWay]

It dropped and immediately skyrocketed to the top among drop

Fishy as hell considering none of his TPAB singles were top 40 mainstays. If we being honest the shyt kinda flopped then he came with DAMN with a more pop direction.

That shyt is fugazi

Kendrick is a heavy hitter in the game and a top shelf artist, but lol some of these #s dawg

Humble is what? 7x platinum… damn near diamon status.

Like come on breh, Humble was not no anthem like that

 

[Dad]

Nikka he cares

He completely changed his direction to more pop after his awaited sophomore album failed to produce any big singles and the album poorly resonated with black folks. The DAMN album was literally shoved down our throats.

You sure that’s a real tweet?

!!!!

I get what you're going for but seeing it typed out is even worse

I damn near died of secondhand embarrassment and I’m arguing against it

Look man Humble is a hit single but let’s keep it a buck… that shyt is not an anthem like the #s suggest

You sure that’s a real tweet?

It’s real. It was during TPAB first week he deleted it. Here’s another screenshot for you.

Probably should end this thread if true.

You’re bugging. Kendrick doesn’t need a hit record.

If he drops tomorrow every song might land on the billboard top 10 and 20 and he’ll go platinum.

You win, breh

I have not bumped kendrick shyt in so long. Wats Wrong by zay is the closest

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

"My left stroke just went VIRAL!!!"

Funny when he made an appearance at the Weeknds concert everyone knew that line

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Damn Juice World made quite an impact and he was only mainstream in the game like what..less than 2 years?

 

[Mike the Executioner]

What?

Its catchy and has a simple catchy piano riff melody.

Song also has many memorable lines

"Remember syrup sammiches and gramma 'llowances'

"So fukking tired of the photoshop"

You get the picture.

I don't know why people act like "Humble" is any worse than a lot of songs that become hits. It's like people are in here trying to analyze and dissect it to figure out how a song like that could ever be popular and.........it's not that hard. It's catchy with mainstream appeal and easy to remember.

We also have no idea what direction Kendrick is going in with this album. There probably won't be a "Humble"-sounding track on it. And considering the fact that Kendrick takes a long time with his projects (once an album comes out, he's already working on the next one), combined with the pandemic probably forcing him to scrap whatever he had before, it doesn't make sense to speculate.

Whenever Kendrick drops, it will be the hottest album in the country. Guaranteed multi-platinum. Doesn't matter what it sounds like, people will lose their shyt over it because it's Kendrick and his name means something.

Drake last two projects have had #1's. Hotline Bling, One Dance, God's plan. Why do you think drake has so many leaks floating around on the internet, he's trying to find the next #1 record before he drops.

drake has had 5 number ones since god's plan

drake has had 5 number ones since god's plan

In My feelings was a gimmick dance
Tootsie SLide was a gimmick dance
What's next is trash and the resort of streaming #'s. It fell off the next week.

Nice for What and Laugh Now are the only real #1s since

Drake is looking for that 1b view type video like hotline bling, gods plan.

There's a difference between that type of #1 and What's next.

If you can't see the difference then you don't know music.

Mf went from “drake is trying to find his next #1” to all those number 1s dont count

So a billion streams a week is the new metric for current hottest artist at the time.

Does anyone know what an estimate for 1 billion streams equal in dollars??
