The project remains the highest selling hip hop album in a week, according to Hip Hop By The Numbers.
Hip hop followers took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the album. Check out some of their opinions below:

"I honestly think it’s unbeatable. Em had the absolute perfect storm with Dr Dre being a huge name and creating massive amounts of hype with his first albums and then singles like The Real Slim Shady. Even if someone had that kind of buzz nowadays, the music industry has changed."
@thatchrischase wrote:
"Drake maybe. He’s the only one who could ever come close to it."
@jthurairajah1 commented:
"Kendrick’s return album if marketed correctly would have a shot."
@DillonSchiller said:
"For there to be anyone that could get near that record, they’d have to bring something so different that’s never been seen before with the best energy possible to pull it off. Drake's the biggest right now when it comes to numbers in hip hop and he’s not even touching that level."
@theminembible added:
"No chance, cause the majority of people stream music now instead of buying."
