With Damn's subject matter and message I don't think there's any better time he could have dropped it honestly.
Plus I think messages in hindsight are better than in the moment.
Just look at Tyler's Foreward now:
"How many raps can I write 'til I get me a chain?
How many chains can I wear 'til I'm considered a slave?
How many slaves can it be 'til Nat Turner arrives?
How many riots can it be until them black lives matter?
When niggas click, clack, splatter, pew, pew that nigga
Life a game of basketball, you better shoot that nigga
'Cause if that cop got trigger, he better pull
'Cause when I get pulled over, I usually play it cool
'Cause I know what I'm driving is usually paid in full"
