It looks like Kendrick is going Platinum with TPAB within a week or so

It started slow, but I knew it would be platinum eventually, especially when Alright dropped as a single. Goes to show that he still needs his hip hop audience to get his sales, I'm sure most of them wasn't feeling i or king kunta as much.

Excellent album by the way there isn't a song on it I dislike.

So awesome to have two guys like Cole and Kendrick at the top of music sales for 2015. We need them for not only hip-hop culture, but also for the world.

Now if they'd only start playing them on the radio

Charts Don't Lie: July 18

so he sold 300,000+ in a week? and while he made have sold that much worldwide RIAA platinum only considers sales in America so no he's not platinum

And he didn't have to become a baker's cover band to do it.

I'm guessing Cole and Kendrick are gonna have subliminal fodder for years, with this ghostwriting thing. Drake can't say shyt. He already backed down from Kendrick once, and lord knows he's not gonna take on Cole.
