What exactly are they “riding”’though? Kendrick is on tour now and it doesn’t look like he’s going to be dropping anymore singles/videos. He didn’t even release the “We Cry Together” short film. No interview run. No features. Looks kind of quiet for Kendrick right now.


TDE on some other shyt.

Very scary hours for TDE. They need to do something and quick.

Did they know it would be a dub ahead of time? What Kendrick had planned? Nah, so why would they rush their two biggest artists out in the same season?

Furthermore, as many of us mentioned, SZA is known to lie and be dramatic and has admittedly bushed albums and strayed away from wanting to release albums vs song drops. I have no faith she’s been sitting on a finished album fighting for a release date, and even if she is, it’s her previous release fukkery that likely has her labels putting up guardrails to ensure it drops at an optimal time. Not during Kendrick, drake (again, no one knew they’d both bomb) and beyonce

On one hand SZA is a known perfectionist and liar who is crippled by insecurities, so her holding up the album makes sense. On the other hand, TDE has damn near ruined their entire roster by either allowing them to do nothing but endlessly record music, or not give them release dates. Jay Rock had a commercial breakthrough with his last album and hasn't dropped since then (4 years ago). Q is sidelined after an album most people found disappointing (3 years ago). Ab Soul has been nearly completely silent since his last album (nearly 6 years ago). Sir had a commercial breakthrough including a couple gold plaques and hasn't been heard from since (3 years ago).

This is beyond bad business, it's bordering on malpractice. There is no urgency, no "hustle like you're broke" mentality anymore. Out west, Mozzy has completely lapped most of their artists. Label wise, Dreamville has leaped them. And their new crop of artists are a fukking joke...

And people think think is part of some master plan to build mystique :francis:

No one is thinking about the start of summer solstice when talking about the beginning/end of summer.
