WbacThe argument here is that there was promo for Kendrick leading up to the album, even though the title might not have been announced. Everyone was buzzing about new music from him before the super bowl, especially after that snippet on NLU. Obviously a Google search for Kendrick GNX wouldn't return anything 😂😂😂

Cap, the argument was @Wbac saying that GNX was not a surprise release
He's tryna change it now to say that there was "promo" in the form of people anticipating a new Kendrick album at the time (which doesn't even make any sense)

Calling GNX a surprise-release is cope?

GNX was not a surprise release, Drake told you he was doing the beef for clout. Then he proved it himself lol.

All the kbots were hyped about the new album after the snippet on NLU, you can even revisit the old threads on KTT, it was 100% promo.

Did Kendrick Lamar fans know that his next album would be called GNX the day before it released?

Very much so.

So just to make sure we’re on the same page… an album whose title isn’t revealed before release, cover art isn’t revealed before release, release date isn’t revealed before release, and drops without warning midway through the day… that album isn’t a surprise-release?

The 'argument' that a widely-proclaimed victory in the most popular rap battle of all time, a #1 smash single with music video and a snippet of another new song, plus a Super Bowl headliner announcement didn't effectively serve as promotion for any upcoming Kendrick Lamar projects is so incredibly disingenuous lmao. Even without a title, date and album cover, that s*** was promo

That built anticipation for his next album
That was not promotion for GNX
Those are two different things

By this logic, MAID OF HONOUR and HABIBTI weren’t surprise drops either, right?

Promotion for GNX would’ve been
“My next album is titled GNX, it drops on this date, here’s the cover art”

Absolutely nobody knew that those albums existed until the very last seconds of the last Iceman stream, which was an hour before they released

The timing of it was always a surprise. I don’t doubt that. But if you thought that drop wasn’t inevitable… then idk what else to tell you man.
Kendrick dropping an album in 2024 after the beef was basically free money on a Kalshi bet. #AD
He was basically losing out on tons of opportunities if he didn’t drop. It would’ve been a puzzling decision not to.
