Yes and this confirms that we can expect something new from Kendrick, sonically
was that ever in doubt?
I had a talk with Lauryn Hill and she said, “Try to completely throw away your ego.” How many times can you throw away an ego, you know? It’s tough. It’s something we all battle with. I battle with it all the time and the idea of being in all these places—the big spots, all the events, the lights—it’s all for your ego. It’s all for your own confirmation to be like, okay, I’m somebody. But truthfully, you’ve always been somebody. You don’t need the lights.

Damn I never seen these interviews. It’s crazy. How consistent in thought dude has basically been. I really hope that Lauryn convo came with music

Read the entire interview, crazy interview and a great look into his mind
"From 13 years old to the time I was 21, I was in a mode of mastering how to be a rapper. Like a rapper’s rapper, using my tongue as a sword, a f***in’ barbarian. That’s all it was about, slaying words. So when I turned 21, 22, somewhere around there, I got into a mode where it became more of a writer aspect for me rather than just being a rapper ’cause this is around the same time where cats weren’t putting out mixtapes anymore. They was putting out full bodies of work and wasn’t even signed to a major label. So by that time, that’s when I started developing and actually constructing my music from a writer’s point of view. good kid, m.A.A.d city was probably one of them albums that you could unfold out into a book and read it. And that’s how I treat everything. Everything is critical like that from here on out. It’s the art of writing."

No, but it is good to be promised by the Messiah himself
GOAT
It would be dope if we could get a "The Heart" Part 5 leading up to the release of the new album.
Anyone here pick up the new biography on Kendrick? It's called The Butterfly Effect, a little over halfway through it and it's pretty good

Probably a whole bunch of s*** on there that I already know but I'll read it when I get a chance
think DAMN. will go down as the worst kendrick album, assuming he doesn’t release anything worse. i’m listening to section.80 and s*** hasn’t aged much, and the way it has sort of reinforces the album(same w no make-up. bottom 3 kendrick song but it fits into the album well, so even if it’s a song i’d never go out of my way to listen to if i’m doing a full listen of the album i wouldn’t skip)
if i sat down and listened to DAMN. in its entirety i’d probably skip half the songs. love and god are some of kendrick’s worst songs imo. used to love XXX, loyalty and humble but now they’re just okay
that being said, pride lust and fear are still amazing. like i said, hit or miss
still a s***forkendrick tho

Goddamn DAMN is my fav Kenny album.
Specially cuz of moments in my life it came hand in hand with. Getting into college with all odds against me and bumping God that night. Falling in love with my ex with Love. being the background music.
Good a***ysis tho.

Probably another obscure release anyway, I doubt Kendrick is dropping soon

damn didn’t know about this
got me thinking about how crazy the kanye biography finna be when it’s all said and done. s*** could be a best-seller if written well
congrats on college bro
Dropped out the 3rd semester
Wasn’t for me but it felt great getting in
Istg Twitter "insiders" are worst

Yup especially since most of them turn out to be nothing.
niggas will burn you for saying this lmao
I get that Kendrick supports his cousin but this Pglang thing is kinda lame and doesn't really benefit Kendrick's career
