Kendrick did kinda underperform. Like he had so much hype after good kid... only 700K? You'd atleast expect Platinum. Especially when the critics were obsessing. J Cole did Platinum so there's not really any reason to expect different from Kendrick.
He sold 800k and WILL go plat. Funny how he outsold Drake and Cole outside of the US too

Who said he flopped lol
She's going to perform at the Super Bowl... of course she is going to rehearse no matter what she does.
He didn't surprise release. His album was announced but was released one week earlier due to an error by Interscope, nothing to do with a surprise release

So he sold 800k in the US that's better for a 2nd I thought he was struggling to sell 700k or somehing.
All of his grammy wins will hopefully push him over to the 1M mark.
maybe on an individual basis, but not as a whole. white supremacy means that there are glass ceilings to what black people can accomplish and the few who break it have to be phenomenal at what they do. this is a fact and until the system is changed it will stay so. but saying its all our fault is counter productive, how do you expect people to be successful if they havent got the opportunities? the fact remains that black people are more likely to be in poverty and be incarcerated and its not because theyre lazy or are more criminal than their white counterparts.

UGH, i need a new album QUICK
what youre saying is true but at the same time this new trend of just complaining about it and not actually doing anything productive to beat your odds doesn't help either. You're not dealt a fair hand? lifes not fair, work harder

True, but I'm not talking about being rich and living lavishly. I believe everyone can at least live comfortably with responsible life choices. If you don't pursue any education after High School and instead you pop out baby after baby and/or start dealing drugs/doing illegal things, you can't be surprised when you end up at a certain point. The leading cause for black men ending up in jail/prison is drug offenses. I personally think drugs should be decriminalized, but the fact is they aren't right now. They are still illegal. If you engage in illegal activity, you cannot be surprised when the cops come knocking.
You'd atleast expect Platinum. Especially when the critics were obsessing. J Cole did Platinum so there's not really any reason to expect different from Kendrick.
