with all that and the promo i seen here in KC, i would say he got some good promo. and depending on how much money went into the project it may or may not be a bad score espeacially for an indie project.
if those are bad numbers to the lable its not cuz of promo or downloading its cuz people only buy wut they like these days and a street following doesnt always equal great sales nationally. i buy tech albums but truthfully i havent bought any other strang music projects since Kutts 2004 project.
ive heard a majority of the album and i knew of Jay Rock before the strange music deal but to me there was nothing special about his lyrics, voice, word play, metaphores or rhyme schemes...and all of those are important today in hip-hop to be successful, maybe a few will slip through the cracks who are average talent but those usually have a strong young audience or club scene following.
dude kendrick lamar is fuckin horrible. on I love music he was just annoying. In hood goin love it he totally didnt fit in and it just really showed that he doesnt know how to rap, ehh? two times? Then I there was thats wassup, definition of a shit rap. He rhymed baker with baker, then hater with hater. fuck kendrick fagar
I haven't heard it, so I can't comment, but top 5 this year is saying a lot. In no order
Cunninlynguists - Oneirology
Grieves - Together/Apart
Tech N9ne - All 6s and 7s
Blueprint - Adventures in Counter-Culture
Pharoahe Monch - W.A.R.
It's better than those? I could also throw KRS and Bumpy Knuckles album on there, Atmospheres, etc. I've never really looked into Kendrick Lamar much, but what I have heard hasn't impressed me all too much. Maybe you're right and maybe I should check it out, but I find it hard, based on what I have heard from him, to believe it would crack that list.

You sound like an idiot since you admit you've only heard 2 tracks? Section 80 was sick, I don't know about top 5 of the year, but a very solid release. On top of that the album is filled with originality. Give this shit a listen, if you don't at least give Kendrick some respect then continue hating..
