At this point, Kendrick is probably the 4th or 5th most popular rapper

[Harry B]

TPAB sold more than 2 times as much as Dark Sky Paradise, we're talking about a half a million in sales difference.

But Sean had the singles, so his streaming numbers are solid.


I wonder if this streaming shyt will lead to more cats trying to score big singles.


So again, Florida and those dudes. Are they more popular than J. Cole because they had big singles? When Cole moves 10 times more albums? Sells out a lot more shows, bigger endorsement deals etc?


Nah, it's been
Drake, Kendrick and Cole for about 4-5 years now.

 

[JYoung24]

How are future and big Sean more popular then Kendrick when Kendrick outsells them future and Sean hasn't even went gold

 

[JYoung24]

Yep

Knowing that some of these posters on here are from Kanyetothe.com(site that dikkrides Kendrick) i expected someone to bring up one if not both those things.

U cant have a convo about kendrick or involving kendrick without his stans talkin about how hes head and shoulders above everyone and using them grammys as their argument and/or critics.

Notice they dont use sales like they use to in 2013. especially now that Cole surpassed him, Sean/Future arguably as well.

Sean and future didn't surpass Kendrick in sales tho

 

[JYoung24]

how are sales being ignored?

Sean went platinum just as Kendrick did and along with that has platinum to even triple platinum single.

in addition Sean's material is being played more on the radio(IDFWU and Blessings get the most spin I observed.)

and if im not wrong I think the spotify streaming showed was the most streamed after Cole and Drake and had singles in top 10-12.

which is why I think he is above Kendrick


No they wouldn't

if Drake and/or Cole were to drop during that time people are checking for those nikkas.

Sean did not go Plat he's not even gold what are you talking about

 

[Ineedmoney504]

He's still at worse 3. Future is a killing shyt. But he not more popular. Kendrick is firmly behind drake and Cole. And that's it.

Big Sean ain't no plat. nikka kill that noise

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Actually If I recall Sean's album has sold more granted not like Cole and Drake have but those two are at a different level.

yeah it was carried by the singles but Kendrick got to where he is because of the singles from GKMC which blew him to where he is. Sean just happened to get his stuff counting toward the whole album which lets him be playtinum

Sean shyt stil at like 350k People streaming one song consistently off a album shouldn't count as a album sale. Especially when that song was released months before the album drop. Sean will always be a mid tier artist. No doubt about it

Care about popularity like you're a 15 year old girl brehs.

Refuse to care about the actual quality of the music brehs.

Worry about what women are listening to brehs.

 

[K.Dot]

1.Drake
2.Cole
3. Kendrick

 

[K.Dot]

Lol @ singles streaming sales being counted for album sales. I guess flo-rida and pitbull about to go triple diamond

 

[Still FloW]

No one cares about that album bro. Kendrick fans don't even acknlowedge it. Hence why they never mention it

And who cares what some lame ass hipster critic who bases rap around technicalities and deepened or w/e thinks

white people stay trying to tell us what we can and cant enjoy

You still think 50 got a fanbase. You from the UK I'm pretty sure I'd have more of a scoop what people care about here than you over seas in London or whatever

 

[Piff Perkins]

The idea that Big Sean is bigger than Future or Kendrick is laughable. Based on your hits criteria is Flo Rida bigger than him too?

 

[Still FloW]

You still think 50 got a fanbase. You from the UK I'm pretty sure I'd have more of a scoop what people care about here than you over seas in London or whatever

and you still think Cam does too but whats that got to do with your pasty ass tryna decide whats hot or not or what black people can and cant listen to

like who made your white ass the decider on black music now ??

gtfoh

 

[Piff Perkins]

Kendrick dropped that untitled album and no one even acknowledges its existence

and yet it's a collection of throwaways that will be gold in a month...


For the record I think it's dope but it's nothing amazing outside of a couple tracks. I've listened to TPAB more than UU over the last couple months by quite a bit.

 

[ManBearPig]

Kendrick dropped an album of unreleased tracks that topped the charts and y'all questioning his popularity
