the same label that allows her to exist in music?

that wouldnt be loyal and her career would end abruptly
Your kidding, sure TDE opened up doors for her but don't get it twisted. She had a following before them and her talent would last even after them, if anything they are hindering her at this point.

I mean look at the history, See Sza Run and S were popping on the net before she signed to them by way of soundcloud and tumblr alone. I'm not saying she shouldn't be grateful to be there or that they did nothing for her but they do a damn poor job at marketing her and pushing her as an artist at this point. I mean she is talented as fukk and can write really well. She done did songs with Wale and Rihanna, she modeling some Beyonce clothing line and she should be out here as a superstar but they really dropping the ball on her if you ask me. With that said, I am not saying she should leave "abruptly" but I what I mean is when her contract is up she should move forward if she see's no improvement in the way her career is being handled.

It's bad enough his album leaked last week too.

Thats ok, we didn't even know that a new Kendrick album was even otw 2 weeks ago, so let's not overreact

and tde have never said anything about an album dropping today...hot97 the ones that did, and ya'll assumed it was coming today. At least you have the official release date now

They should at least drop another single today to make up for the disappointment.

They may not have announced it was dropping today but Kendrick's line on The Heart IV certianly indicated it, and hype was building all week, so all it took was a tweet saying it wouldn't be coming this week.

Yeah people need to stop saying nothing came from TDE. Kendrick himself is the reason we were expecting something on the 7th. The didnt confirm a release date but they aint deny it either. A song an album shyt even a freestyle wouldve been better than just dropping a preorder link. People on social media confused still thinking something dropping today because Top, Punch, and Kendrick still haven't said anything.

even TDE didnt hear of her on Soundcloud and Tumblr. She was still working her day job then.

Not that bothered by it not dropping today. The new Joey album, amongst others, is enough to tide me by until next Friday.

How is that album? Got the link but haven't got round to listening yet, is it better than his last? I liked that but it wasn't amazing or anything.
