On this day in 2017, Kendrick Lamar dropped ‘DAMN.’—a masterpiece in its own right 💿
As the only rap album in history to earn a Pulitzer Prize, Lamar’s GRAMMY-winning fourth studio album is rooted in truth—but not just for K-Dot, for everyone.
“At the end of the day, I know the music is not for me,” he told Apple Music in 2017. “It’s for somebody else that’s going through a f*cked up day to listen to and progress in their lives.”
And there’s no wrong way to listen. From tracks 1 to 14 or in reverse from 14 to 1, both tell the same story. But there’s levels to ‘DAMN.’ still to be discovered… where would you rank it in Kendrick’s catalog?
