Actually I don't like views at all,think it's his wackest project to date.
But sales and streams are the most accurate proof as to who has the attention. Do you have something better to look at?

The fact that you think it's wack and his worst project, but yet has more streams than any of his other projects should tell you that that isn't a good way to judge a project or an artist....

Obviously Views came out a year after TPAB and Drake is currently touring for that album so it's gonna be getting more attention at the moment

Just like "Panda" having more streams than any Futures song doesn't mean he is a better artist or more popular

But if Sales, Streams, and Touring numbers is how you determine the impact of a musical project. Then trash azz Views is the best hip hop album in the last 5 years in your eyes and you don't even need to say anything more

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
She's definitely more popping than Kendrick. But you don't have to put words in my mouth our Decode what I'm saying. I'm very direct. I'm not trying to say any more or any less than exactly what I say and how I say it.
So let's recap
nikkas wasn't feeling the sales talk,but couldn't provide any PROOF aside of stream sales etc to prove who was doing what.
I added touring to the judgment
And so far no one has came up with anything better than I have,that proved who was doing what in this rap game

People weren't feeling the sales talk in regards to what? Whether or not Views "came and went" in rap?

Is your argument that Views didn't come and go in rap/hip hop because it sold the most?

I talk about streams,touring etc to use facts to point out how people are reacting,NOT WHAT I THINK THE QUALITY IS.
I can give my OPINION on kendrick but it's still just my opinion.
I think his flow is corny,it think his lyrics are silly and he has one of the wackest voices ever.
When i say his lyrics are silly,what i mean is that he tries so hard to be artsy and poetic,that it comes off contrived and corny,non realistic.
He doesnt have that balance like pac,nas,face,cube or others.

As far as me not liking views,i'm more of a fan of drake the rapper. Although it's not my cup of tea,i do see the appeal and drake got his shyt popping.

The only thing i see in kendrick is him attempting to be anti to the average rapper. But i'm not impressed by that move,because he fails to actually say anything of value and his music aint on hit at all.
