Will Kendrick lead his own large venue tour before his career is over?

[StretfordRed]

It's like the goalposts keep moving with him, now he can't do a stadium tour

Next it'll be thst he hasn't got x amount of billboard spots

The kid is nice, sold very well and spoke a message, unlike most of these newer artists who say a whole bunch of nothing.

One thing I do admit, as someone else has said, his management seems to be dropping the ball. I don't even think he has come over to the UK in a few years.

@bigbadbossup2012 stays with his foot on these dudes' necks.

It took me a while to realize but I think it's obvious OP is one of @Wacky D aliases.

It's so apparent once you really look at his posts.

2pac didnt have a big a tour and he had way more hits than everyone

TDE is trash, management wise. I don't think he'd have a problem doing a big tour but they wasted the opportunity. Who releases an album and doesn't tour it? Even if you argue TPAB isn't a stadium album, he still could have gone on a big tour. Kendrick can do 20k seat places. If you can sell out 10k places in a couple minutes, which he did for the Kunts mini tour, he can sell out 20k places...

From what I understand the plan was for a TDE arena tour. That got nixed due to Q not finishing his album in time and Kendrick releasing a jazz rap album (which I love btw) that isn't accessible to certain demographics. But now Q's album still isn't out, Jay Rock released a dud, Soul's career is probably over, and SZA is just an indie level attraction.

I really don't understand what they're doing. It's madness.

We need new Rashad

Don't forget rashad who could be big with proper promotion

Tupac is not a Don in this 2010 era.
Anymore rappers from Kendrick' s era you'd like to point out?

 

[stealthbomber]

ehh i doubt it

maybe if had a band like the roots or bbng behind him

he doesn't have the presence to hold an arena himself

maybe though, he's only getting more popular

No, he won't. Kendrick is hyped up and gassed up but the numbers tell a different a story. He hasn't headlined his own tour because he can't. He keeps making weirdo music instead of making genuinely mainstream music not out of some sense of artistic integrity but because he knows he'll fail.


It's amazing how every one you can possibly meet thinks he's the greatest thing in rap and yet he can't even outsell J.Cole. J.COLE.

For all the praise and accolades calling it a "masterpiece" and "classic", TPAB has yet to even sell a million copies. Hasn't even sold 900K. He's an artist that even swears they publicly like in order to gain cool points, but no one actually fukks with in the privacy of their homes. Again, the numbers don't lie. People can't even be bothered to stream his shyt.


Career-wise, he's destined to be the Nas (although Nas's music was actually enjoyable to listen to) of this generation, which isn't a bad thing but it is what it is.

 

[Ms. Elaine]

bad blood was a huge hit breh. There is an audience outside of hip-hop breh.

Huge hit...for Taylor Swift. Or are you trying to tell me it's that Kendrick feature that made that song pop.

He sold out arenas in Australia in March, he could do an arena tour in the US, but it's just not profitable enough. He can do festivals and earn an easy million or more with minimal effort and expenses paid or tour for months stressing about budgets and ticket sales. He probably planned touring after TPAB but saw the effort it took and that he was getting booked for summer festivals and said fukk that shyt.

He earned more than J.Cole doing festivals in 2015 than Cold did from his tour. FHD tour grossed 20 million, but he has to pay a shytload of people that were on tour with him.

Crazy how Cole had lapped him
