Kendrick's album died quick. I suppose that's because he had no hits ('i' skyrocketed off the charts) and the whole release was messy, and it lacked effort with promotion.
But I remember HDD predicting he'd do 600K first week in early 2014, and he's done 600K total. Gonna be a long road to GKMC's total.

Well, it's mostly because the album is way too cerebral and boring.

There nothing boring about Butterfly! That album is amazing! The best album of 2015 and the music critics definitely agreed with me since it was scored a 97 out of 100.
