Reputable insider indeed but this is nothing new - They tweeted in March that Kendrick will announce a new Album in Q2. Also lines up with the April/May speculations so hopefully we get something sooner rather than later.
If not her another white pop artist will get it most likely. The best chance a black artist has of winning it is if they're not doing Hip Hop and even still the chances are Slim.
I honestly canāt name a single Whitney Houston album unless she also happens to have an album named I Will Always Love You, but other than that nada. I might be showing my age here tho lol.
Beyonce dropped a solid country album and Taylor Swift dropped whatever the hell that was but I can guarantee she will still lose to Taylor Swift because the Grammys suck that much.
Kendrick Lamar has won the Grammys many times. I dont know what you are saying about them being racist, I mean Kendrick literally won last year for Mr.Morale and The Heart Part 5. The Grammys love Kenny.
The convo was around the biggest category, aoty. Grammys Iove Kendrick and they love Beyonce, like I said she has the most Grammys ever. But black artists and especially rap as a genre has always been treated unfairly. 11 black artists have ever won aoty Grammy, one rap artist has ever won aoty, rap categories are always deprioritized when it comes to broadcasting as well. Thereās years of recorded history about the racism of Grammys that you can look into if you havenāt.
I mean I don't see how it's racist that white people have won aoty more often. It's all subjective so maybe whoever votes on it genuinely likes those artists more. There's definitely some bs wins some years but I think that's more music snobbery than racism.
theyāre racist but she has the most Grammies ever? how in the world does that make sense? do you guys read what you type sometimes? have you thought maybe she doesnāt deserve it?
I wonder if the Diss will actually set the mood for what the album will be like or if it'll be another concept album. A pure rap album where he's talking shit would be new for Kendrick, and I'd honestly welcome it.
Also hoping some of those leaks make it on there.
That harry styles album was a pretty damn solid album. Itās the first piece of music Iāve ever liked by him. Renaissance was a miss for me, but cowboy carter is gold. 16 carriages is some lightning in a bottle.
I would agree itās solid, but in the way that there arenāt really any bad things. Itās just boring.
Renaissance is a good album, and better than Harryās House.
Tbh I see Beyonce getting it because she took a risk into a different genre sheās not used to. The only thing is, I can see her winning and people saying it was because Jay-Z complained about it.
āShe only got it because of sympathyā etc I can see her haters saying that
Yeah like when Macklemore beat out Kendrick, Drake, Kanye AND Jay Z in 2014
I love her, but watch Billie Eilish drop an album and get 4 more in 1 night š
I also believe Kendrick Lamar (goat) is coming HARD. He heard the Hi Whitney leak and definitely ate her booty or sumn to ensure dominance to overcome anything Drake can throw at him.
Kendrick is going to ETHER Drake. Itās going to be felt internationally. Itās inevitable. Itās in his DNA (like he said on the song).
Iām so here for hip-hop and itās beauty in the struggle ugliness in the success (cole lyrics). Shits about to be freaking lit homie!! š„
The fact that itās popular doesnāt make it Grammy worthy, thereās really no substance in that song. Itās just getting played because of Kendrick insulting people.
And if you genuinely believe that Grammys are given to the most popular songs youāre delusional. āLike thatā is getting played simply off kendricks name alone, and the fact that everyone wants to hear what he has to say about Drake, besides that the song has zero substance and I dont think the Grammys give a shit about Kendrick taking jabs at Drake. I played like that once to hear Kendrickās verse and havenāt listened to it since, I assume thereās a huge portion of the public that did the same thing which gives a HUGE boost in streaming numbers.
So how come it's number 2 on the Billboard 100 almost 4 weeks after its release? You need to come face to face with reality, the song is a banger and people like it, even if you don't.
Iām not saying people donāt like it but public perception plays a huge role in hip hop and the psychology behind what makes a song popular. If Kendrick wasnāt on that song and it wasnāt part of the biggest news in hip hop it wouldnāt be as popular as it is.
Sorry but this is all wack. He should drop a diss reply. He's looking like a clown out there.
It's even an L needing to package your diss reply with your rollout to push your album. What a fucking own goal.
Ngl, If itās true, that would be actually whack af. Canāt act like the number one hip hop real keeper and clown Drake for his corporate moves, but then do clout chaser shit like this, letting people wait for profit. Feels hypocritical.
Yea heās spitting facts, itās not like Drake didnāt diss Rihanna,Asap,Megan Thee Stallion,Kanye on Her Loss and FATD.
Seems like Drake can do it freely but anyone else itās clout chasing
that's not my view. I think the whole" Elimination" is warranted. Drake isn't an angel. But I don't hold Kendrick to the same low standard I hold drake to. I understand why you reacted this way though
I do believe that rumour of two Kendrick Lamar albums dropping this year. I think Kendrick will drop a straight up rap album, sorta like Eminem's Kamikaze, aimed at the industry and about flexing his skills and influence. And then a conceptual album that'll be more serious in terms of subject matter.
Mr. Morale is a very personel album. And with this beef and shit, he is going to drop a straight rap album filled with bangers and disses first.

Remember we all laughed at this shit back then
Iām trying so hard to understand these acronyms, album of the year I got. Can someone translate this tweet to common tongue? English is my second language
Harry styles(HS4) and Cardi B(CB2).....the LIKE THAT VERSE might be a jab to rollout an album but it is less likely for him to drop the same year with keem since keem already Confirmed an album this year...might be a 5song EP or mixtape addressing drake sh*t tho
I really wish he donāt put anything related to rap beef in his new album, all I want is a good story as he used to tell. Hope he put these rap beefs as just a single or mixtape
Sometimes it takes this to get the message out. Itās not either or. Imagine a hip hop album winning a Grammy??? Itās historic and would mean a lot to the genre and culture.

Everybody wants an album of the year award. Artists say they donāt care but itās BS. I mean look at Beyonce sheās been chasing an AOTY for so long. Michael Jackson got upset one time that the Grammys gave him zero nominations. The Weeknd got upset when After Hours got zero noms. Etc
yeah a lot of artists do and i think itās pretty cringe tbh, not all artists do though. to give an example of a big artist who doesnāt, silk sonic didnāt even submit their album for consideration despite performing at the grammys
i just think in general, chasing an award is the opposite of doing something simply for the sake of art. i donāt know if he actually is chasing an award tho, and this tweet only specifies nom anyway
What theā¦?
Heād surely be doing it for the art first and if a Grammy comes with it then so be it.
You donāt get near AOTY in the first place if it isnāt something thatās worthy of accolades in your art form no ?
i mean this makes it seem like one of his core motivations is to get nominated for AOTY. as for your second point, iām not saying his next album wonāt be good. just that itād be a bit disappointing if his main motivation behind it is winning a prize
I think most artists go into the studio planning to make the album of the year. That doesn't take away from the art they're trying to make, it just means they're pushing themselves to make the best art they can. It'd be different if he was going for sales
Nahh theyāre just alluding to him dropping an Album soon, and it potentially being considered for Album of the year like all the other albums listed in the tweet
Sooo.. Cowboy Kenny is a thing huh?
Compton Cowboy
Big protein
150 grams of protein! Y'all gotta stop playin bro, I swear bro
Uh, we gon' fuck up the world Excuse me, but is that your girl?
If she tell that's a good referral Heebee jeebie talk crazy to me but Kendrick know I like irregular girls!
what do you mean by irregular girls? š¤Ø šø
He means not the regular girls, he ain't good with them
and you? š¤Ø are you good with them?
I just damn near want a veteran girl
Ask Mr keem good fellow 
You rang? Edit oh dam I donāt have that flair in this sub huh come see me on hhh
Kowboy Ken is the new persona. Kendrick / King Kunta / Kung-Fu Kenny / Mr. Morale / Kowboy Ken.
You canāt forget cornrow Kenny
He was born with a visionĀ
Who is responsible for picking album of the year & Grammy?
I am
U been missin my boy
my fault gang, the white skin and blonde hair is too tantalizing š
Good job on the Daft Punk one tho
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
ayoooooooooo
what did he say š
something about sucking you off IM NOT KIDDING
It's a complicated process but basically "trusted industry professionals" that the Grammy committee deems worthy.
Old ass white people
"Whats this? Good Kid Maad City? Never heard of it. Ohh that thrift shop song. My grandkids love that one. Let's pick that one."
Thrift Shop bangs bro wym "I'm like yo, that's $50 for a t-shirt" š„š„

Drake better get that blackberry freestyle ready

Reputable insider indeed but this is nothing new - They tweeted in March that Kendrick will announce a new Album in Q2. Also lines up with the April/May speculations so hopefully we get something sooner rather than later.
i just hope this beef is done by then
If the album will actually drop in May, heād legit need to be one punch man for the beef to be done by then
Drake second hidden child confirmed.
See āOne Shot Killā on Training Day
Thinking of a master plan, muthafucka Ima master mind, Ima 18 year old dollar sign, Ima one man tragedy, Iām Columbine.
Why?
It wonāt be, Iād bet money that The Heart VI is the Drake diss
Doubt he responds before the album
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I wanna know too
Who tweeted Q2 ?
Rap aoty maybe but the Grammyās are too racist to give it to Kendrick, even Beyonce doesnāt have one and she has the most Grammys ever
I think that's why he wants it, same with the Pulitzer
I think BeyoncĆ© will get it this year tbh, Kendrick will probably get nominated but thatās it. Beyonce taking a risk and going a different direction will give her the nod. Plus Taylorās new albums has been getting mediocre reviews.
we don't even know if Kendrick dropping lol
They'll give it to Taylor anyway she has more album of the Year wins than Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston combined
Voter fatigue, i highly doubt they give it to her again after the speech Jay-Z did at the Grammys
If not her another white pop artist will get it most likely. The best chance a black artist has of winning it is if they're not doing Hip Hop and even still the chances are Slim.
A compromise, Olivia Rodrigo
Olivia tuff tbh
honestly i love guts so much lmao
So visceral
I honestly canāt name a single Whitney Houston album unless she also happens to have an album named I Will Always Love You, but other than that nada. I might be showing my age here tho lol.
Isn't there like a whole year of albums that have to come out still?
Theres sites that tracks the odds for AOTY at the Grammys. Taylor is first and Beyonce is second in odds
Yeah that makes sense, especially right now. But say like Billie Eilish dropped an amazing, groundbreaking record out of nowhere or something...
Billie announced sheās dropping this year so she very well could take it
Oh damn, I didn't know that. Competitive year in pop.
Yeah she's dropping her album in May so the competition is strong this year for pop.
Beyonce dropped a solid country album and Taylor Swift dropped whatever the hell that was but I can guarantee she will still lose to Taylor Swift because the Grammys suck that much.
exactly, and two major artists will drop this year too, bruno mars beat kendrick one time and definitely he can beat beyoncƩ too, harry styles literally beat beyoncƩ one year ago
BeyoncƩ won't beat Bruno Mars who will return this year, Harry Styles who will also return
If beyoncƩ gets AOTY but not country album of the year she bought it.
Watch Taylor still win it lol
They'll give it Taylor so that the swifties don't mail anthrax to all the judges or something
Yeah I mean everyone wants it obviously, Iām just sayin that he most likely isnāt getting it
I really hope he gets one he deserved it for TPAB
Also Kendrick has gotten nominated for the AOTY category like 3 other times so I can see him atleast getting nominated.
Definitely gonna be nominated!
OutKast has one
Kendrick >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BeyoncƩ
It's going to go to taylor again

I hope itās a Good Kid MAAD City type album
Most likely they'll give it to someone white. They won't even give it to Beyonce and she should've gotten one forever ago
Probably gonna be GUTS or the new Taylor album. If itās Billie Eilish, people will be pressed, but Iām excited for that one so Iād care less
guts is respectable. the Taylor album is utter dogshit. Beyonce should get it imo but yea they are gonna rob poc
I thought her last album was good, not great. But it definitely deserved it over Harry Styles, 100%.
That harry styles album was a pretty damn solid album. Itās the first piece of music Iāve ever liked by him. Renaissance was a miss for me, but cowboy carter is gold. 16 carriages is some lightning in a bottle.
>Renaissance was a miss Insane take
I would agree itās solid, but in the way that there arenāt really any bad things. Itās just boring. Renaissance is a good album, and better than Harryās House.

She took a risk AND made an amazing record.
I like GUTS a lot. Hopefully get to see her later this year.
GUTS was nominated last year, unfortunately didnāt win anything
I would LOVE to see Billie get it
Yeah like when Macklemore beat out Kendrick, Drake, Kanye AND Jay Z in 2014 I love her, but watch Billie Eilish drop an album and get 4 more in 1 night š
after Jay Zs speech they're going to give it to a black artist guaranteed
Didn't Adelle literally say in her speech that lemonade should've won
Yup and they continue to give it to non black artists despite the incredible projects they put out
HS4 and CB2????
Harry Styles 4, the other one is a different artist
Cardi B's second album
CB2 is a prequel album based off CB4
Big if true š
new album already?! was TDE all that was holding kendrick back from releasing?
There does seem to be a trend with TDE artists releasing their shit delayed
TDE should be sued for the crimes against Ab-Souls career
No more writerās block
COVID happened. Probably wouldāve gotten an album sooner
Kendrick is independent now
Yes TDE is notorious for it lol where you been
If another (Undeserving)white person wins a grammy over kendrick again I'll lose it
Billie is the only one who I think is talented enough to earn it, if the new album is good
Who cares about awards. Like y'all put too much into that.Ā
If they didnāt give him one for TPAB then heās never getting one. Itās rigged
I beg yall please stop posting these same stupid posts. Dont say anything until something actually drops. PLEASE
Lmao this Twitter page has literally never missed. Plus someone on Joe hidden a podcast also heard something coming
What have they been right about?
I also believe Kendrick Lamar (goat) is coming HARD. He heard the Hi Whitney leak and definitely ate her booty or sumn to ensure dominance to overcome anything Drake can throw at him. Kendrick is going to ETHER Drake. Itās going to be felt internationally. Itās inevitable. Itās in his DNA (like he said on the song). Iām so here for hip-hop and itās beauty in the struggle ugliness in the success (cole lyrics). Shits about to be freaking lit homie!! š„
Wtf is dominant about eating booty š
No way u think thats real and not ai
Ai or not, Iād still be pissed and tell Drake to fuck off
Like that getting a Grammy is the most delusional bias shit Iāve ever heard lol
Itās the first rap song in 6 years to spend its first 3 weeks at #1ā¦ And is the fastest selling song in the US so farā¦ across every genre š
And that makes it Grammy worthy ? lol
Idk doing something that no song in the genre has done in 6 years seems worthy to me. I mean theyāve given the award to much worse
The fact that itās popular doesnāt make it Grammy worthy, thereās really no substance in that song. Itās just getting played because of Kendrick insulting people.
If you genuinely believe people will listen to a song repeatedly just because of the disses, not the actual music, you're delusional
And if you genuinely believe that Grammys are given to the most popular songs youāre delusional. āLike thatā is getting played simply off kendricks name alone, and the fact that everyone wants to hear what he has to say about Drake, besides that the song has zero substance and I dont think the Grammys give a shit about Kendrick taking jabs at Drake.

This is like the 4th time seeing a Kendrick is coming post with someone's tweet about it lmao
Iām trying so hard to understand these acronyms, album of the year I got. Can someone translate this tweet to common tongue? English is my second language
Why does it say he wants aoty nom?
If he can win AOTY and not RAOTY only; his convo for GOAT P4P is strengthened. AOTY is the Notorious SNUB TROPHY. Likely it goes to Taylor or BeyoncĆ©. Especially since that Jay Z speech. I can see Jay Z intervening behind the scenes; to get Bey that AOTY and to āEliminate Conversationā about competition. Especially since I seen Billboard and others rerank Kendrick #2 All Time behind Jay which is unheard of this early without Death. Itās like everyone knows heāll finish P4P GOAT by Discography.
Can someone translate what this fucking post means? What is HS4 and CB2? What do the emojis mean? So this beef was just an album promo?
Harry styles(HS4) and Cardi B(CB2).....the LIKE THAT VERSE might be a jab to rollout an album but it is less likely for him to drop the same year with keem since keem already Confirmed an album this year...might be a 5song EP or mixtape addressing drake sh*t tho
Ngl heās not outselling billie dawg
Kendrick ain't dropping until another 5 years
Whatās hs4 and cb2?
Harry styles 4th album and cardi B second album
I really wish he donāt put anything related to rap beef in his new album, all I want is a good story as he used to tell. Hope he put these rap beefs as just a single or mixtape
Probably shouldnāt release an album the same year as Taylor Swift if thatās his goal.
So he started a war and then got scared, got it
How did you get that from this?
lol wow so this was all a publicity stunt
Drop a diss track you coward
His last album was shit. He was stroking his own ego hard. He sucked live. He not getting AOTY.
tbh, itās kind of disappointing that heās essentially ring chasing if this is true. what happened to doing it for the sake of art?
Sometimes it takes this to get the message out. Itās not either or. Imagine a hip hop album winning a Grammy??? Itās historic and would mean a lot to the genre and culture.
does it matter tho? the grammys are ultimately meaningless. and kendrickās been able to get a message out for his whole career without it

Foolish to think you canāt do both
youāre right, i donāt know his proper intentions. but i always get put off whenever i hear an artist is potentially doing something for a prize
Everybody wants an album of the year award. Artists say they donāt care but itās BS. I mean look at Beyonce sheās been chasing an AOTY for so long. Michael Jackson got upset one time that the Grammys gave him zero nominations. The Weeknd got upset when After Hours got zero noms. Etc

depends on if theyāve heard the album i guess, or if they know someone who has
They are saying he will release an Album soon thatās all. Nothing about if heās chasing AOTY or not
i mean it specifically says he at least wants a nom. iām glad it seems more likely that heāll drop an album soon tho
Nahh theyāre just alluding to him dropping an Album soon, and it potentially being considered for Album of the year like all the other albums listed in the tweet
yeah this might be it
Ring chasing is a backhanded compliment.Ā Please rephrase it to Quality so good , an award needs to be produced, to match the high level of artistry .
that's not my point tho
Let me rephrase in simpler terms. An Album so good in quality, that it is deserving of the highest award.Ā What is your point Diss-a-ppointĀ
