A month heads up with tons of think pieces on what the Album will sound like is promo and build up…nikka hasn’t been seen in years and all of a sudden spotted hanging with fans at dodgers games…this is literally all promo and done to build hype
You're crazy if you think a tweet and some pictures with fans at a baseball game is sufficient promo for an artist the size of Kendrick.

It is in this day and age

I’m a huge Kendrick fan I don’t like mr moralle though but the amount of videos and threads I’ve seen building up to the album was crazy
I didn't hear much about the album outside of this site before it released, and I'm in California.

He was clearly trying to be petty releasing on K Dot's B Day. Glad it backfired. Basically tried to outsell K Dot on his B Day and didn't, self ether?. So all that talk about K Dot's sales being disappointing just because they weren't better than "Damn" when in fact we are in a new market in 2022 that was way different than 2017. People need to learn there are dynamics album to album, year to year. K Dot's sales dropped about 50% over 5 years. Drake's sales dropped 60% over 9 months. I thought K Dot's sales for his 5th release on a double LP at that was pretty good. Showed people still cared about him after taking a long break. Could Drake take 4 years off and come back with the highest selling Rap album of the Year? He's too scared to even try. Also Drake and the machine behind him wasn't smart with this release. "CLB" is actually still on the charts so he basically cannibalized himself. This is what happens when you oversaturate the market too much. Drake needs to take about 2-3 years off like K Dot just did but he's too scared to lose relevance so expect more average albums year in and year out. He's still going to get another #1 but the reaction shows people aren't feeling this album that much. Also all the plea copping and spin is making me laugh. Now Drake is the standard for House Music/Techno/Dance? LOL @ "If you don't like this you aren't around women or the club scene". These people will say anything.
