I think kendrick will also sell more in the long run, he confirmed 2 new singles/videos (Money Trees & Maad City) :flutter: :flutter: :flutter:


Money Trees should have been the 2nd single Image

Just wanted to give you a reminder guys..

It was like this like only 6 months ago.

KENDRICK LAMAR - Good Kid, m.A.A.d City : 539,800
MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS - The Heist : 191,600

I don't know about that. Macklemore just sold out Arena shows in the US, he'll perform there in October so when his sales start to slow down a bit. It'll give him a big boost.

Not even talking about how Same Love was released as a single recently and is doing great. Might even get his third n1 on billboard.

I think it will be close for the platinum plaque but I'm pretty sure that kdot will sell more in the long run, that's just my opinion but he has just started a new world tour and he is going to release 2 new singles/videos :y:

We'll see I guess..

Holy shit. Thrift Shop is 6x platinum, Can't Hold Us is 3x platinum and Same Love (which was only released last month as an official single) is climbing charts and reached a million already.

This dude isn't just a one hit wonder. :8)

It's one of the factors as to why Kendrick might win this race. Macklemore relies on the radio too much while Kendrick can sell without any "major" hits.

Money trees will probably give him the edge because this is arguably his most "mainstream" song after Swimming Pools.

That's only half true

Kendrick has been a guest on features in which he has forced/contrived female-centric lyrics and the main motive behind this is to appeal to that demographic.
It's genius if you think about it, TDE/Kendrick found a way (networking/off the success of the album) of penetrating that target market without corrupting 'HIS’ catalogue.

Interesting race between two fantastic artists.

Anybody think that Kendrick vs Macklemore is similar to Kanye vs Eminem?

The more artistic rapper that gained a fuckload of respect in the "street" community slowly but surely, before getting a cosign from a major rapper vs the outlandish, strange, white newcomer that got famous overnight because of a poppy but creative song.

Kendrick = Nas, both their 1st albums were highly acclaimed
Yelawolf = Eminem because Yelawolf is a way better white artist than Macklemore AKA Vanilla Ice
Drake/J. Cole = Kanye West, very artistic rappers that will gain a lot of respect in the game

Tyler = Jay-Z, he'll be at the top for 20 years.
