Looks like Big Steppers is coming nowhere near the level of how well CLB sold.
Kendrick has never outSOLD Drake, but he’s always had more respect THAN Drake.
Anybody can sale albums. Drake is a good rapper but you’re starting to see Kendrick become that emcee. I don’t know if Drake can ever make an album with substance.
Drake stans clinging to that garbage album will never not be funny, Drakes mediocre at best. Weird hill to die on
Ain’t nobody you know still listening to CLB. Not even all the simps and white girls who bought it
That’s a huge stadium tour. Boy gonna be exhausted come christmas. Why are people in the comments obsessed with sales the day an album comes out?
World = N-America, W-Europe, AU, NZ.
