Look at that Batman.

 

[sleverfunk]

Kung fu kenny!!!

 

[Dereck]

Their reactions/review of the album were great.

The random shots taken at JCole were hilarious XD

Yeah, funny how one brother is like "chill with the Cole comments", constantly

 

[ThisGuy]

Where does damn stand with tpab?

 

[CoolOff]

Look at that Batman.

Da na na da na

 

[D4Danger]

Yo sorry for being dense but what does this mean:

streams count as sales (I think it's something like 1/1000) so they're saying in this day and age when people don't want to pay for shit and just stream everything people actually went out and bought this.

 

[Dereck]

Where does damn stand with tpab?

TBAP sold 324k first week

 

[Rembrandt]

Yo sorry for being dense but what does this mean:

People bought physical copies or digital ones instead of purely streaming it.


Crazy that J. Cole and Kendrick are doing insane numbers. So glad.

 

[Realeza]

Kung Fu Kenny

 

[Moral Panic]

Yo sorry for being dense but what does this mean:

The 610k is sales plus streams, but ~1,500 streams equals 1 sale. But over 60% are actual sales so ~366k actual sales and ~366000k streams.

That's all? I mean that's great damn is getting what Kendrick deserves. But that's surprising, tpab was great.

 

[Hidden One]

Drake hate always finds a way.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

That's all? I mean that's great damn is getting what Kendrick deserves. But that's surprising, tpab was great.

Didnt have any hot singles and not exactly the tempo that sells in modern times.

 

[Vanillalite]

It's no Cracked Rear View in terms of sales, but I'm sure Rucker would still be happy for Kendrick doing these types of numbers in this day and age.

 

[GamerSoul]

Well deserved !!!

LAUGHING TO THE BANK LIkE AHH-HAAAaAH

 

[theignoramus]

Remember when "6God" said Kendrick wasnt on his commercial level?

 

[Rpgmonkey]

Good for him. Great album.

Looks like the combination of TPAB's acclaim and the good singles/marketing really set up a perfect storm for this album.

[Blader]

Loved humble and dna was pretty decent too. The humble video was on some crazy tarsem Singh shit. It was excellent.

Is the rest of the album as good as the singles?

Humble and DNA are probably my least favorite tracks of the whole album.

 

[theignoramus]

Humble and DNA are probably my least favorite tracks of the whole album.

DNA was fine dining for all of us raised on late 80s and 90s hip hop. But it was done in such a way that it was an homage that didnt feel dusty, like so many of these retro sounding tracks do.

 

[Nappuccino]

Humble and DNA are probably my least favorite tracks of the whole album.

DNA works where it's placed on the album. Humble feels like a single Kendrick just dropped into the album. It has some thematic links, but I don't think the song does itself justice

 

[overcast]

Incredible sales. Album is everywhere so it makes sense.

Can't believe how far King Kendrick has come 😭

 

[thehypocrite]

GIVE ME SOME GANJA!!!

SZA in the back lookin all cute, if only she could see the future and learn that she'll never drop more than one album under TDE T_T

 

[pablito]

The Recipe is the shit though fight me

I need more SZA in my life. Childs Play has been a mainstay of my rotation.

Not even Kendrick's best album so no.

I thought it was decent.

He deserves the huge sales he works very hard and is extremely talented.

They're seriously going to lose her this year if they don't finally put out her album. I don't blame her at all for being frustrated with her situation.

Dethroned me from what???

 

[XBP]

Was kinda obvious when my preordered physical copy from Amazon is arriving between may 5 -20.


Kung Fu Kenny he was born with a vision.

 

[OG Shaka Zulu]

I predict Drake will ask Kendrick to write a few songs for him on his next album.

 

[Syphon Filter]

nice, i still find it weird how he found a way in and reach the masses considering his style and type of music. where is my grinch smiley when i need it.
