Of all the hip-hop albums released in 2015, only Aubrey " Bigger Than the Beatles" Drake sold more than Kendrick. But the simple mathematical, quantifiable fact is that Kendrick is also a hugely successful artist commercially. He's making art so powerful its affects can be felt all the way from the streets to the White House. Particulary after To Pimp a Butterfly, an album that got repeatedly labeled as "weird" and one that " people only pretended to like so they could seem smart," we've almost exclusively talked about Kendrick Lamar as an artist, and rightfully so. This gives Kendrick his second number one album, To Pimp a Butterfly was his first, and gives him a solid shot at putting out three platinum albums in a row, all of which tells a story that we don't often hear or discuss - Kendrick Lamar is a commercial hip-hop beast.
