Punch speaks on rumors of bad blood between Kendrick and TDE, among other things

When Kendrick first announced he was leaving TDE, there were some assumptions that there might be some bad blood between you all. Would you like to offer a correction or response?
I’m not really one for correcting assumptions. People can feel and think whatever they want, but in this particular situation, the goal is to build an artist to what they want to do. This is what he wanted to do, so we helped build him to it. That’s not a negative at all. It’s actually a positive, because he’s leveling up. He’s going from one stage to the next stage of how he sees his life and career progressing. You’re not here to hold anybody forever. You come in, you do what you set out to do, and then you continue to move forward.
I imagine that you’re incredibly proud, because this is an artist you’ve watched grow since he was young, but were there any other emotions that came up?
It’s funny because I studied the game and this business so much, and also its history. This is really just a natural progression. But as human beings, we are scared of change because change represents the unknown. This is why all of those feelings are conjured up amongst people. But I’ve been seeing it. This was the whole goal. This was the whole purpose. So the only emotion really is happiness and joy. We did it. We reached a certain level that nobody reached. He got a Pulitzer for his album. That was the first of contemporary music. We did all the awards, we touched all the people, we did all the community stuff. We had the hit records. We had the underground classics. That’s it, job well done.
Was there any pressure that went along with the rollout of Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, with it being the last TDE album?
Well, no. It really wasn’t with us, because on this album, pgLang took the point, and we took the background. So we really just followed Kendrick’s lead of how he wanted to roll everything out. So it wasn’t pressure on the TDE side. Everything was pretty much on Kendrick and his team.

What’s something that may surprise people about TDE?
I’d say we’re really funny. Me and Kendrick and Jay-Z have a group chat where we were arguing about who’s the funniest out of us three.
We might be calling this guy an Emmy winner soon
Well deserved.
This year really turning out to be a historic year for Dot
