The award is given “for distinguished musical composition by an American that has had its first performance or recording in the United States during the year,” according to the Pulitzer Prize Board.

Released in April, 2017, d---, has been defined by the Pulitzer committee as “a virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African-American life.”

The TDE rapper is the first non-classical or jazz artist to win the award. Congrats to K.Dot and the TDE team!

this definitely reinforces dumb ideas about what rap is eligible to be considered high art, but that's not kendrick's fault.

Well deserved. Good for him.

Both d--- and TPAB deserved it, but props to kendrick for winning the award with his magnum opus

Lol its kendrick worst album


d--- is his best, followed by tpab. And considering d--- is still selling quite well each week, it for sure didn't come and go

i mean, a lot of people care. i care. we all should. it's like kanye tweeting "the grammys shouldn't just be me and jay in suits."

Well deserved...It's an amazing album and it's the first time kendrick doesn't treat his listeners as a baby with a forced concept. This is the reason why I consider d--- and s80 to be his best albums
