Can imagine a lot of his new one will be ultra political with the wealth of stuff he has to take aim at in America right now. Definitely my most anticipated upcoming album - with Kanye seemingly having his glory days behind him Kendrick is the last major hip hop artist who is making such grand artistic statements and albums that become events. I’m sure this will be no different.

Pshhhh.

You acting like RTJ4 isn't album of the year.

I just hope it isn't BLM The Album. He is more original than that.

TPAB was essentially BLM the album. As said above I’d expect the above to be wider in scope - BLM, Trump, COVID/lockdown, policing...

I love RTJ but their albums don’t fall quite in to the epic grand artistic statement scale that a lot of other big rap artists do - they’re mostly relatively short, concise, and filled with bangers. Kind of a different beast.

In general yeah, but I think RTJ4 is more artistically ambitious and in terms of making a statement it really feels like the BLM 2020 album.

I don’t feel the idea that Kendrick has to go BLM Super Saiyan because of the events this year.

He’s already lived with systemic racism and wrote powerful songs and even the unofficial BLM anthem about it. White America finding out about it in a bigger way shouldn’t dictate where he sources his inspiration. His themes are usually pretty personal and he’s become a father since the last album so I’m expecting something more introspective again.

Well if the rumours are true that he’s scrapped a bunch of material and started over are true I’d wager that the events of this year had something to do with that. I don’t think it’s gonna be a front to back ‘2020 sucked’ album, but I think politics are gonna take a front seat and when goes he’s gonna go hard.

I think studio rumours have to be taken with a pinch of salt. I mean, he’s reportedly scrapped more albums than most artists will ever make - including collabs with all sorts of names. Moreover, I just can’t see him being the type of artist to decide to go and make The Blacker the Berry 2; he’ll do what he’s been focused on.

Be hilarious if this isn’t for Kendrick.

Devastating, but hilarious all the same. 
 

edit: apparently it’s for Isaiah Rashad, not Kendrick.

Lolla 2021 you mean. they still havent cancelled or moved their dates yet and people think that he will release the new album right before Lolla and go from there. If that happens then kiss him goodbye from Glasto cause he wont be playing brand new music for possibly the first time which seemed to be the original plan.

But he’ll still want to promote and tour the album and presumably be playing festivals next year too, so I don’t see why that would count him out of Glastonbury. Don’t think I ever heard anything about Glastonbury needing to be right at the start of the album promotion or anything.

Zaywop releasing is genuinely great news as well.

He's still booked to play Roskilde before Lollapalooza this year as well, though I think the rest of his Europe dates are cancelled and I expect Roskilde will eventually follow. It's admirable Roskilde is still trying...

You guys really thought it would be Kenny? Think again.

Fuck’s sake.

Kendrick will most likely promote his album via that cryptic pgLang thing he posted about a while back, and it'll probably come out after the Baby Keem album. Glad Isaiah Rashad is finally dropping tho! There was a Fader piece where he revealed he ended up in rehab after the last album, glad he seems to be doing better now.

Jeff Weiss is unparalleled at getting scoops like that.

Yes! If anyone hasn't read his incredible Drakeo The Ruler piece, I highly recommend it. Holding abusive power to account, what real journalism is all about https://www.thefader.com/2019/07/11/drakeo-the-ruler-murder-trial-los-angeles-report
