Worldpremiere_Nah, pglang kendrick has been dropping whenever he wants. Mr morale was his last tde album. Everything post-MM been surprise drops pretty much
I hope this doesn't continue to be all the way honest
Like run some promo and drop a single and drop a release date like a normal person
A***yzing crypting tweets and staying up at night for releases that don't happen was cool during the beef but its getting kinda old.

TRUE
But I'm old and nostalgic and miss big old school album rollouts. I feel like people cared more back in the day.
Like the build up for Graduation and GRODT was nuts. I feel like we don't get things like that as much now ya know?

Tbh superstar rollouts cost an ungodly amount of money and pglang may not have it in their budget like that due to kendrick just not caring about it much. And prob just rely on the UMG licensing deal for any type of big exposure.
It works for him, its starts dialogue and its been proven to be timeless. His fans been his main promoter since tpab ngl. But even if he didnt have the fans dissecting everything he does. I think hed still take this route due to his lifestyle.

I agree that the big rollouts were really fun from a forum standpoint, more speculation/conversation about the albums sound/features/concept, like unwrapping small clues/tidbits.
I think these large rollouts really have diminishing returns for artists who are at a higher level of popularity, they don’t really benefit from the momentum of a single as much as a lesser known artist can, they also can weigh a larger risk if the track doesn’t perform well.

You think so?
Isnt that kinda contradicted by the fact that all of these guys' biggest projects all are released the old school way?
Like imagine if Humble didn't drop and go #1 before DAMN dropped, alongside a release date, video, promo etc...
Or if Drake didn't have Hotline Bling & Once Dance and all the crazy hype going into Views, and you just woke up one day and this s*** was on Spotify lol

you can argue he's hit a second prime and NLU was dropped randomly.

2017-18 was the last time they released like that. Basically before streaming fully took over. Now the singles are mostly decided based on reaction after the album is out
