DID KENDRICK FLOP?

[Sccit]

DON'T GET ME WRONG, I THOUGHT THE ALBUM WAS DOPE......BUT PEOPLE WERE TALKIN ABOUT IT LIKE IT WAS THE GOAT ALBUM WHEN IT FIRST DROPPED. A MONTH LATER AND ALL THE HYPE IS PRETTY MUCH DEAD. NO HOT SINGLES, NO JOINTS PLAYIN IN THE CLUBS, KING KUNTA AND I BOTH PRETTY MUCH FORGOTTEN....TRIED TO REDEEM HIMSELF WIT THE POP CROWD BY APPEARIN ON THE NEW TAYLOR SWIFT SINGLE. SEEMS LIKE KENDRICK MIGHT HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AFTER THIS 1.....OR MAYBE IT DIDNT REALLY FLOP, BUT THE WAY PEEPS WERE HYPIN IT DEFINITELY MAKES IT SEEM THAT WAY.


HOW MUCH HAS IT SOLD TO DATE? I REMEMBER SOME WERE PROJECTING PLATINUM FIRST WEEK.

Obviously the album was not made for sales or the clubs.  So no, it didn't flop.  It's a great album.

BUT COMPARED TO GKMC, AN ALBUM STILL BEIN TALKED ABOUT 3 YEARS LATER .. AND THE HYPE IT WAS GETTIN, PEOPLE SAYIN ITS A MASTERPIECE AND WILL GO PLATINUM FIRST WEEK ETC ETC....AND ONLY A MONTH LATER AND WE HEARIN NOTHIN BOUT IT. NOT A COMPLETE FLOP, BUT ITS SAFE TO SAY MORE WAS EXPECTED, WOULDNT U SAY?

Actually, I was expecting less.  A bit of a sophomore slump.  But this album is completely different than GKMC.  It's dope and stands on its own, and sits in its own lane.

I think it did about 350k first week which was less than Drakes mixtape...it will probably go plat though eventually

"I" will forever be a big tune and I still hear "King Kunta" out and about but I don't listen to the radio enough to know how much lol

pretty sure it either went Gold by now or is close to it, if they pick the next right song to push it will touch Platinum... the hype isn't as big because it's not his mainstream debut like GKMC was and it was released in a different manner, I know a few heads who still haven't even listened to it in full because they're stuck on other releases out

Who else in rap history dropped a better second album?  It's debatable this is a better rap album than GKMC.  Again, it's totally different, but TPAB is a serious fucking album, not to be fucked with.

OP isn't saying it was a bad album though, just that it didn't have as much success in terms of sales that people were expecting.

IT'S NOT EVEN HIS SECOND ALBUM.....BUT IF U WANNA GO THERE, LOTSA MUFUCKAZ DROPPED A BETTER SECOND ALBUM. OUTKAST, BIGGIE, DR. DRE, MAC DRE, RAKIM, EMINEM, THREE SIX, BROTHA LYNCH, BONE THUGS ALL DROPPED CLASSIC SOPHOMORES OFF TOP.....U NEED TO STOP OVERHYPIN THIS BRUH...PEOPLE LIKE U IS THE REASON I SAY IT DIDNT LIVE UP TO EXPECTATIONS/DIDNT MEET THE HYPE.

Nikk this is a stupid ass thread and u know it.  You just copying off The Coli and u know it.  It was redundant and retarded on their part and it's even more ridiculous on yours.



Dubcc is washed up homie.  If Ryan and Brian are the best you have to offer then good luck on your retirement plan

JUST TRYNA SEE THE POV OF THOSE ON HERE WHO CLAIMED IT TO BE A MASTERPIECE AND A GROUNDBREAKING ALBUM.. TAKE IT EASY FOLKS, IT AINT THAT SERIOUS.
