DAMN. I love this album.

Edit: holy smokes, my first ever Reddit award! Thank you
I love so much that this happened, but I sometimes wonder what hip hop fans would think of several other pieces that have won the Pulitzer in music… for instance:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGva1NVWRXk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGva1NVWRXk) : John Luther Adams Become Ocean.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzl26UDXbGk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzl26UDXbGk) Susie Ibarra Sky Islands (the latest winner… I adore this piece).
Actually I think a Kendrick Susie Ibarra collab would hit so hard!.
Wild TPAB didn’t win
The GOAT
And Drake thought he stood a chance.
Kdot is the goat in the game and it’s not close.
What a great album.
you know how lyrically enriched you have to be to win a Pulitzer as a rapper? Insane.
So I was takin’ a walk the other day…
Listen to this album at least once a week. It really is top tier storytelling, plus it has so many moods. N.MAD really hits with how it’s karmically looped. 🤌🏽
Love the album and Kendrick in general. But never understood that cover 🤔
Rap is so symbolic and beautiful.
I’m listening to it right now and I didn’t even know. This album is incredible and relevant still.
NATION. Is dropping next Easter, trust me
An album so ridiculously good its a different listen forwards and backwards
