      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!.

      And Drake thought he stood a chance.

      Kdot is the goat in the game and it’s not close.

      you know how lyrically enriched you have to be to win a Pulitzer as a rapper? Insane.

      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 🤔

      I’m listening to it right now and I didn’t even know. This album is incredible and relevant still.
