Or could it be that like two other significant events to have happened in the past two years – the results are STRAIGHT UP BULLSHIT? I’m going with the second assumption. After the Grammy’s and Wednesday’s BRIT Awards I have learnt that my taste in and understanding of music is not that of the majority. I thought I was pretty hip ‘n’ happening but this fortnight has taught me this is not the case. DAMN is an album and a DAMN good one too, as fans we are not entitled to anything more. If you were really holding out for NATION then I understand your pain but it’s important to call a spade a spade and an album and album. Music is the best, it’s exciting and no genre continues to push the boundaries in the ways that Hip Hop and RnB do. If you don’t believe me shuffle the tracks through with Lamar’s previous releases you will quickly realise these 14 tracks are high quality and a perfect addition to Kendricks fast growing repertoire of hits.
This is it.ĭAMN is a 10/10 great album and we should be grateful. After the album’s real release, I spent the best part of 3 days constantly checking Spotify for ‘ Nation’ alas it never came. With no Easter Sunday resurrection for the rap messiah I felt a little letdown, but with the rest of a bank holiday weekend to kill I listened to the album again start to finish, this time knowing there would be no second coming. However something about Kendrick using his album to symbolise the resurrection of Christ felt pretty cool and pretty Kendrick. Moments later twitter user deathyezzus posted the following theory which quickly went viralĨ0% of this seemed like fantasy at the best from the very beginning. While the internet blew up with reaction to the leaked album, producer and trusted Kendrick counterpart Sounwave tweeted:īut what if I told you… that’s not the official version.Īnd thus it began.

Well apart from the twitter users who just love to tell you that they’re supporting Kendrick and waiting for the official release whilst most likely downloading the zip file in the background. In true TDE fashion, the album leaked the night before its official release date and as we all know when album leaks we will listen to it. Kendrick is releasing a two-part album part one DAMN part two NATION. So let’s break down that Conspiracy theory for you: Kendrick’s latest release has all but abandoned these jazz-inspired sounds with the help of producers such as MikeWillMadeIt For some fans (the ones who rate TPAB highly over GKMC) this isn’t enough, so there MUST be more right? Unhappy with 14 brand new tracks of Kdot going bar for bar over some of the most exciting beats released this year fans created a conspiracy theory: a second album which I can only presume they hoped would live up to their sonic expectations induced by The Heart Part 4, a single that could have slotted onto TPAB or Untitled Unmastered quite nicely. I’ve met many people who said they’re not keen on the Jazz and conscious lyrics of TPAB but still bang hard in the car to Backseat Freestyle. This is partly what made Kendrick so successful. 80 to Good Kid M.A.A.D City no two Kendrick albums sound the same.
However to be surprised by this is worthless. Upon release it didn’t feel quite as dense, it’s certainly nowhere near as political and doesn’t follow an obvious linear narrative like albums past. the HUGELY anticipated follow-up to his grammy award winning album To Pimp a Butterfly. Recently Compton’s Kendrick Lamar released DAMN. Thanks to Frank Ocean and most recently Future one album is no longer enough, artists should drop two LPs at a time. Albums are no longer 8-10 tracks burnt onto a compact disk, they are films, magazines, art installations and social commentaries. Vinyl is significant again and music streaming services dominate the way we consume new music. Shoutout to the internet conspiracy fuckboys for ruining a great album.
