Good for him, but let's see how his music performs compared to Drake's after he's done using Drake's name for clout

[Mezter]

Oh it's BAD for Canadian Doll

Alright, poetic justice, humble, all the stars, swimming pools, money trees.... I could go on, acting like Kendrick isn't a big star is boring at this point

Kendrick is a Diamond selling rapper with albums that have charted for over a decade JUST LIKE DRAKE!

 

And that's why Drake lost this battle. Cause he's used to his YT and pickme black female fanbase coddling him.

This is a crazy take Kendrick is one of few rappers that can pack out arenas

[Gossip_Boy]

I should have said without looking  Never ever said he wasn't a big star, read the comment for what it said. Is he going to be pulling massive streams for his music once the beef is over? Drake will be pulling bigger numbers

Drake lost the battle because he's on top and cool to hate on, and everyone roots for the underdog. He's about to cross 100 BILLION streams on Spotify. He's still the King.

OK so what does that have to do with Drake's music outperforming his when he eventually drops? 

[geodude]

This site is an echo chamber for Drake hate so of course they'll downvote although you have a point  

[Billionaire]

Hilarious to me that Drake fans are using stats like his music isn't basic run of the mill rap. Of course it's gonna perform better  Mr Morale was more for the arts and even then he had sold out arenas & festivals. Mind you he tried the whole commercial thing with DAMN and Humble was a hit

Figured that one out quick 

[visions]

Drake fanboys love their numbers, how about these? Their most recent efforts on metacritic:

 

Kendrick - Mr Morale & The Big Steppers: 85

 

Drake - For All The Dogs: 53

Drake is about to surpass 100 *BILLION* streams on Spotify, and did it without having to use clout. He is fine and WILL come out on top in the end.

The point is, and still stands, that Kendrick won't be pulling anywhere near these numbers once this beef is over, so it's literally all clout. The whole point of a rap beef is to "end" the other person and come out on top at the end of it all, and Kendrick won't come out on top over Drake commercially with his actual music.

Well it's not outperforming NOW. Apparently the disses have yall disillusioned cause Kendrick already said how and why Drake sells what he does. His image and proximity to whiteness. Him making black Americans look, culture and experiences digestible for the mainstream to dance to.

 

Now that the OVO sweatshop is subjected to writing strictly based off Drakes perspective and his culture as a biracial Candadian raised in a Jewish community, he can't even meet Kendrick halfway who is authtically hip hop and clocking him.

This is unhinged. He's out-streaming now because of clout, just like Meg with Nicki. The end results will be clear and you can bookmark it.

Drake stans pretending the guy who had the biggest album of 2017 is an underground rapper is SO funny

 

 

Also: m.A.A.d city, XXX., These Walls, The Art of Peer Pressure, DUCKWORTH.  And I'll throw in Buried Alive Interlude as a little bonus for you!

The point is to come out on top in the culture, not commercially

 Not a Drake stan at all, so not quite sure where you interpreted that, and never once did I imply Kendrick is an underground artist. We're on a pop forum full of teenage gays that know nothing about rap or rap beefs. You all jump to conclusions because of immediate results without considering the bigger picture.
