As a fan it doesn't say much I didn't already know but it was a nice opener for the podcast, looking forward to the other episodes
No news on the new album tho

Ty kind sir, this is very appreciated

This mid out yet?

same

if i have the feeling that everything is ready on kendrick side, but tde act like b****es

Another week goes by i guess

I'm also convinced the album will suck for some reason.

Album will be a masterpiece for sure. Kendrick doesn't know how to make album below 9.5/10

Nobody said anything about that Rolling Loud reels on instagram?
Prob they allude to Kendrick headlining

@CliCity u should take "update" out of title till we get some actual news or a date

Done!

Is a #tbt post really a hint that he will headline? It’s possible. Rolling Loud is in July so it could fit after him playing the Italian festival in June.

They def teasing him headlining. When do they usually announce?

Glastonbury is in June. What dates are RollingLoud?

This mid out yet?

July, 7/22-7/24

They been hinting hard at either Kanye or him to be headlining so it might happen. If he is then the album def gonna be out around April/May.

How disappointed would everyone be if we waited five years and Kendrick didn’t come out with a crazy, inventive album?

We should neva gave you niggas money go back home

Money go back home

Mildly disappointed, I obviously expect the album to be good, but I don’t blame Kendrick for such a long wait. Seems like we would have whatever album was next if not for the global pandemic. It’s been a couple of f***ed up years for everybody.

The way I like to look at an artists discography is to see if they can maintain an upward trajectory. Meaning each album should be a step up from the previous. To me, Kendrick had an upward trajectory until DAMN. which I don’t consider to be better than Pimp. That’s obviously a tall order, so if the new record is on par with, or better than, DAMN. I’ll be satisfied.

Is it possible for Kendrick to top Pimp?

May have been his creative prime. I feel like the longer he waits to drop, the higher the standard will be from fans. I hope he delivers. We all know he is capable of dropping another masterpiece

💀

Kendrick’s next album is his final record with TDE. When did you guys realize that he was ready to leave?

"I don't even know if I would describe it that way as ready to leave, as more so ready to build his own thing. That’s a grown man right now. We watched him grow from a teenager up into an established grown man, a businessman, and one of the greatest artists of all time. So how long do you actually be signed up under somebody? It's been almost 20 years. So it's time to move on and try new things and venture out. He’s doing a great job developing Baby Keem. It's always been there, but now it’s just time and space where he can actually do it. It’s a beautiful thing to watch because that's something that started with what we built in the beginning. To see it blossom, it’s a full-circle moment."

Does this make the stakes feel different for his last album at TDE? Does that make anything about the creative or planning process feel different?

"Yes, and no. It's different now just because it's different, not because it's his last project. It’s just the evolution of where we are. Kendrick doesn’t need anybody in the studio to coach him and help him make an album anymore. He’s well capable of doing everything on his own. It’s just the timeframe that we’re in."
