    His last Albums were all critical acclaimed and were grammy nominated.
    His fans (myself included) would be disappointed with anything below a fantastic album at this point.

    Just some wild thoughts from my side, but it would explain why he didnt drop anything besides some features in the last few years.

    Yeah probably.

    I also think he had an album ready to go, since he shot two music videos last year. But he probably reworked it this year.

    Aftermath artists never drop more than 2-3 good albums.

    Of course he feels pressure and all that . He wants a classic. He’s in line to be in goat category. He doesn’t want to f--- that up. Plus I’m sure the super bowl had effect on when his album is going to be released. It looks like aftermath is going to try and run next year.

    Probably not dropping as he has heard Marsh was asking everyone why is he showing up at the Super Bowl and that he wasn’t big enough name to be on it. Back to to the drawing board for Kendrick until he gets marshys blessing.

    It will be hard to drop another classic, d--- was huge at the time and it's barely recognized classic now.
    If it is, his run would be the best in history

    The album is still not out yet because Kenny is waiting for the supsuck/marshy show to end, hopefully we're getting to the climax by the end of the year

    Just a hunch but I feel like he’s struggled with writers block or something since d---. It was just really odd to me that his music took this very political turn with TPAB & even a bit on d---, all this activism & worldly events going on & he remained dormant almost the entire time. Idk…the lack of music between 2017-2021 is just really strange to me. I thought he’d have a lot to say.

    That’s 2 years ago…and he had those weird features with da baby or whoever, where he made up his own language and it didn’t make any sense. He’s gone off the rails.
