    Meek Mill
    Meek - 120k
    Kendrick - 80k

    Kendrick will have the better album though.

    Here most ? only knew about Kendrick bc of A1 and then that's when they started paying attention. personally I think it will be about even with kendrick getting max with this push and Meek sort of doing less then expected. Meek could have had a bigger debut back when his album was initially supposed to be released, when his buzz was crazy, but that is yet to be determined. I also think Kendrick's fanbase is being underestimated just like Cole's was. can't do tours off of "internet" fans alone.

    Idk if its cuz my state is closer to Cali, but Kendrick just seems bigger then Meek, I dont even think this is a close competition and I think alot of MMG fans are going to be surprised at Meeks underwhelmings sales.

    Kendrick's buzz feels like Coles right before he dropped, I remember nobody thought Cole was going to go Gold, but the fan base he built was stronger than anyone anticipated lol I see Kendrick doing the same thing.

    no lol stop it stop it haha. Nobody thought cole would sell but his mixtapes had a huge download and support rate. And i saw earlier in the thread someone said em and gaga are on the album so hes gunna sell? False slaughterhouse has em featured on their albums and they flop. Wale had gaga on his first album and that flopped as well. White pop mainstream features don't garunte.

    If kendrick had a strong fanbase they would have bigged up Section 80 which people didnt really run out to support ? . And things haven't changed since s80 and now in the positive. Don't get me wrong i ? with kendrick but to say he has a loyal fanbase that actually runs out to support him in decent numbers is false.

    Meek, he appeals to a larger demographic and does not have a problem with dumbing his music down. I know Kendricks album will be lyrically doper than Meeks but may under perform because he is not willing to compromise his integrity as an artist. Just my 2 cents though.

    On the flip side Meek has a ceiling which is gold, history tells us an artist is only as successful as the leader of their crew. On the other hand Kendrick is running with a Platinum plus ? in Dre.

    meek doesnt appeal to a bigger demo hes too explict to even fit in that category ... and when did dumbing down your lyrics = more sales ????????? ..... if anything dumbing down gotten alot of dudes record deals but didnt = increase thier album sales..... ;)

    same folks beanie had during his hayday and look what he accomplished ... im def rooting for meek but id be surprised if he doe platt ... im expecting @ the most gold ... there hasnt been a platinum artist in philly since Will Smith ... and he did that without the profanity ... but we will see ... HOPEFULLY MEEK GOES PLAT !!!! that would be super great for philly .....

    however as far as kendrick goes he already had the west .... dont forget ? on the west been going platinum forever from Dr Dre to 2pac to Snoop to The Game etc ...... and im not just talking PLAT im talking MULTI PLAT .... + kendrick has a nice buzz out here on the east coast ....

    im not saying Kendrick is DESTINE for PLAT STATUS ... but as far as who will most likely go platt .... its def Kendrick ... cause imbodies everything Meek got plus the weirdos who like super lyrical hip hop too ...

    def dont sleep on the west coast .... shes a ? the game went 4xplatt off the west coast .... ;)

    While I think people are: a. underrating kendricks following and b.overrating how much meek will sell I still think meek moves more units. Meek appeals more to the streets and the streets don't buy albums. I think Kendrick will end up doing a lot better than y'all think long term but I don't see him outselling meek. As long as meek doesn't get repetitive and has diversity on his album both will be nice...

    Waddup fam!!!

    I dont cosign K.Lamar kissin Eminems ass but K.Lamar got mad skills. Talent that can last him 10+ years in this game droppin jewels. I like Meek and MMG but they musik is not build to last long. In 2020, they aint gon be around. Replay value in any musician's catalogue is key. And even K.Lamar might not make it past 2 albums, even 1 cuz if he dont sell 250k 1st week, Dre ? ass gon drop him.....

    yeah kendrick kissin feminemz azz fa a white fanbase is sicken itz like that is da #1 rule ova therr @ euromath all praise WHITEY cuz wit out da cracka therr would b no EUROMATH!....& im not knockin kendrick cuz he is nyce but meek mill has been puttin n work fa long long time & now itz payin off thatz y he is shynin he has been thru mo ? then kendrick thatz y he has mo 2 rap about & meek mill has touch;d on every subject u can imagine he is not a 1 trick pony but @ da end of da day im rootin fa both but i just think meek mill appealz mo 2 da MASSEZ kendrick is mo UNDERGROUND imo but INTERSCOPE is tryna change that wit LADY GAGA......

    Both future legends imo, but Meek´s gonna sell way more.. He´s already had major hits, and K.dot hasnt.. With that being said, I do think K.dots album will be superior...

    i like kendrick cause the ? got like 8 speeds ... he can be humble and low key and still ? ? ... or get hype and ? it even more .... most dudes gotta stay @ they 1 speed thier known for to ? ? .......

    kendrick is so versatile its crazy ... imo hes kind of like a likeable peter guns .... hes gotta a very similar flow and manerism but you can actually understand the ? kendrick be saying without really digging into the rhymes ..... most of the time .... kendrick can leave you thinking like peter does too

    Meek Mill, and whoever says Kendrick is because they're his fans.

    Kendrick is way better than Meek Mill but Meek has a bigger buzz.
