Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Damn’ Wins Pulitzer Prize

[@heraldojacques8386]

Damm....... I'm not a big fan of rap but if you can win the Pulitzer with your rap lyrics....... you are a walking Legend. Only death separates Kendrick from absolute legendary status.

[@akcalbumreviews3719]

See rap CAN be smart.

he was a legend even before the pulitzer, period

When I heard that I got so fucking pissed. Like she's basically saying that cardi b and Kendrick Lamar are of similar quality, no fucking way

TPAB should've gotten it, that's his best work in my opinion

[@ryan11hawk]

Shasha Vengesayi by far

[@marclivingston9201]

for sure

[@WubbyPunch]

I feel like that album was great, but it wasn't as accessible as DAMN. It was very meaningful but I really had to MAKE myself listen to that whole album. Damn I was into immediately. And every song delivered in every sense of the word. It was catchy, it was meaningful, and the structure and positioning of the songs being flipped, with the final song in the story being at the end was genius. Its literally the only album I've ever actively listened to all the song in order on purpose whether its backwards like it's meant to be listened to, or the way it was released.

[@plicool]

TPAB or DAMN as long as it's Kendrick that won it, that is the main point. DAMN was awarded not just for representation of African American life which was heavily portrayed in song's like Fear, xxx, duckworth, element but also for vernacular ingenuity and literally creativity

[@youtubinxx]

Kendrick has some good music! I love Loni's makeup!!! so bomb! :D

Well deserved for K.Dot!👏🏽

i love how loni shouted out TDE

[@ToDaMaxxx]

Did Loni put Kendrick in the same sentence with Cardi?? If rather we uitilize J. Cole for that

[@captainamerica6545]

They’re both rappers that keep it real. That’s why she mentioned Cardi.

🥂 to Hip Hop.

[@DeeL3]

I like what Loni had to say but she threw me off when she said that rap was changing and evolving; what artist like Kendrick and J Cole say is not anything new because you can go all the way back to artists like Public Enemy and they were making conscious rap back in the early 90s. So I get what Loni was saying but I think her wording was off.

[@missincognito2666]

Salute to king Kendrick reppin LA Cali please stand up and let’s not distract us from his Grammy wins he beat Jay in damn near every category 💯❤️

[@stillwaiting4peace]

at the end of Loni's speech i was like "HWALLELU, she said it all "☝🏾

[@heatherelkin668]

Love him❤

[@Strawberryfearsforever]

I feel like Loni is describing To Pimp a Butterfly and Damn mashed up.

[@imperfect_dan7519]

Nothing she described sounded like tpab

[@xxristiannxxristiann9353]

Love the content !

[@rhinoavocado1569]

Africans, we need to start a petition. Kendrick has not stepped foot in the not basic part of Africa. South Africa is in Africa but everyone visits South Africa and ignores the rest of us...

Loni you are my family's favorite as long as your topics aren't about relationships and sex😂😂

[@firethoughts5193]

Ruthie Rodgers Y’all want the show to be boring and old

[@plicool]

Well spoken

[@mattlawrence1932]

"To Pimp A Butterfly" was the real actual winner of the Pulitzer prize 🏆 obviously , they just don't know Kendricks discography so they accidentally named the wrong album title by accident at the actual ceremony because DAMN. just happened to be his newest album & they just happened to say the wrong title unfortunately 💯 Everyone knows it was his second major studio album "To Pimp A Butterfly 🦋" to win the prize cuz it's mainly Jazz music & cuz of all the extremely deep rooted meanings that ends up explaining the entire albums title thru out every single track 💯

[@thema1998]

They didn't accidentally name the wrong album. They specifically chose "DAMN." since "To Pimp a Butterfly" and "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City" were too old to be nominated, let alone win! 🤓

[@shida5320]

Y’all are so annoying with this. It’s still a huge accomplishment man damn
