    LOL at explaining to do, like Dr Dre being on his first single didn't have anything to do with that. Lets see how the album perform over the long run, J COLE IS AT 630,000 COPIES SOLD, lets see if Kendrick album has legs like J Coles .

    Was Jay-z all over J Cole's album, nope!

    Marin3 be for real bruh. Just take your L and call it a day. Kendrick sold well for the EXACT SAME REASONS Cole did which is what we were trynna tell you from jump. If anything his is more impressive because it really was about the album because he didn't have a hit like workout. Cole is prolly my 2nd fav "new" rapper behind kendrick so I hate comparing the two but be real. If you prefer cole over Kendrick cool argue your point all day, but Kendrick sold because a. he has a huge following and b. he had a great album, period. In 2012 ? aint trynna buy albums period let alone buy one because a somewhat washed up rapper/producer is on TWO songs one of which we already heard and he helped mix/master the album....

    Great first week sales.

    LA makin moves, bringing real music back to the mainstream with no gimmicks.

    If a new nyc rapper can bring back the classic east coast style AND sell records, the down south fast food gimmick rap era (ymcmbmmg/bricksquad/etc) might finally end..

    You can hit feelings all you want but don't act like J Cole didn't do all his ? without Jay-z public cosign. He had no lead single or video with Jay-z help.

    Plus SLS leaked earlier than Kendricks.


    Anyway though, i'm not even mad at Kendricks success, i'm happy good hiphop is winning. It's proof you can win being yourself instead of selling fake ? or using gimmicks.

    I can't wait till Ab-Soul and the rest of Black Hippy is known on a national level. They know what they're doing.

    Quality music movement!

    @Usmarin3 Why you just now bringing up this Dre ? ? Dre was on the single like 6 months ago b. You knew Dre was on the single, yet you still said this was gonna flop and we were gonna be in for a rude awakening just a week ago. What changed so fast b? What's even your point? J. Cole is better because he appeals to more people than Kendrick and doesn't do anything else better?

    STOP
    IT
    SLIME.

    Point to the exact post where is said Kendrick was going to flop, i bet you can't!

    I bet you when J Cole drops his new album he does over 300k. Congrats to Kendrick but don't front like Kendrick isn't trying to get to where J Cole right now with Grammy, American Music Award,Platinum singles and Gold albums.

    Only thing @USMarine said I agree with is that we should see if the sales continue...which I believe it will if he drops Backseat Freestyle & Poetic Justice

    Kendrick is a better rapper who makes better music so why do we care about all this other ? ??

    Your whole reason for saying Kendrick wouldn't come close to Cole's sales was to discredit him as being a niche underground rapper who doesn't appeal to anyone but internet geeks. I told yo ass that I was at a packed show full of sexy college hoes at the Alaska Airline Arena a couple months back but you refused to listen to anything anyone tells you.

    Is this really a Roc Nation thing Marin3?

    Saying he wasn't going to sell more than Lupe and saying he was going to flop isn't the same thing. TRY AGAIN!
