@@Me-bj6in I dont see how that objectifies it's superiority in quality from those two. It just means it sold more copies than them, nothing more Edit: I love damn btw. That wasnt a shot at the album
If people really took the time to understand the context behind songs like XXX, FEAR, FEEL, PRIDE and not base their judgements off of a corrupt music genre, they would understand why this album won. It’s about substance. I sense a lot of racial tension in the comments, rather than rationality. Just my opinion 🤷🏻♂️
_BAKZ_ TPAB might be the reason he won it. It would make sense for the judges of an award like this to look at an artist’s entire body of music. They probably just had to credit DAMN as it’s his most recent release.
sit down and just listen to Kendrick's music. it speaks to the soul of anyone who understands what the ghetto is like; not the loud mouth, proudly drug sellin', foolishly spendin' money, lackin' wisdom and all sense of logic, but the corrosive battle of socio-economic struggles manifest spiritually.
"To Pimp A Butterfly" was the real actual winner of the Pulitzer prize 🏆 obviously , they just don't know Kendricks discography so they accidentally named the wrong album title by accident at the actual ceremony because DAMN. just happened to be his newest album & they just happened to say the wrong title unfortunately 💯 Everyone knows it was his second major studio album "To Pimp A Butterfly 🦋" to win the prize cuz it's mainly Jazz music & cuz of all the extremely deep rooted meanings that ends up explaining the entire albums title thru out every single track 💯
@seyamahonga1394 please tell them, DAMN deserves it just as much as TPAB does, just because it's more mainstream doesn't mean it's less conscious. It is just as conscious as TPAB is.
I'm not a fan of rap generally, but congrats to Lamar, he seems to have imitated life within his art. I wish Rush would be recognized for doing this for 40 years.
Rush is one of those bands that I feel is chronically underrated. Neil Peart, Geddy Lee, and Alex Lifeson deserve recognition as three of Canada's greatest artists.
Shakespeare created content for mass consumption by common people as well while being regarded as creating fairly topical storytelling to the people of the age. Further, while his work was being performed and while he was alive people did not validate his work to the standard we hold it up to today. Kendrick being compared to Shakespeare is a justifiable. He is a cultural icon.
Ok sounds very presumptuous. To back up what your point is you have to first prove that people believed Shakespeare would be around in 400 years during his time period and you have to prove that we cant draw those parallels to the talk going on around Kendrick Lamar. Truth is you don't know what will happen and it doesn't concern you whose voices will continue to permeate through the human experience. However, Kendrick is speaking to a generation in a unique and eloquent way. Your disrespect for his artistry isn't backed up by anything at this point because you are an L in a comments page and he is a highly publicized and applauded for his work as a lyricist and musician. Your disrespect for him winning this award only furthers the importance of having voices like Kendricks to have access to these platforms. He is not asking for respect he is taking it and its working fairly well. In the paraphrased words of Kendrick you should probably sit down and be humble.
ELEVATED HIP-HOP TO A NATIONALLY & INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ARTFORM....................................................proud day today.........amazing
Just hearing about the award is great but I really think the highlight of this video rests in the open and straightforward dialogue between the guest and anchor while keeping things digestible, letting both parties speak their mind and bouncing off of each other. Kendrick really knocked it out of the park with this one.
QueenxofxthexBurbs does it matter? The way Kendrick raps is almost like poetic story telling. And the Pulitzer award committee look for stuff like that. No matter the race or religion.
John McSween and that’s you’re opinion as to what you feel is deserving of the award. This man work is studied across the country at the highest level of academia.
The Puritans (alt right christians) in early 17th century England continually frustrated Queen Elizabeth I with wanting to shut down theatres where Shakespeare and other writers performed their plays...considering plays to be degenerate! Go figure! Now we say Shakespeare is the ultimate in literature! By the way, the queen got so fed up with the Puritans that they ultimately left England in a huff and headed to the New World!
There is NOTHING generic or mediocre about the lyrics he provides, apart from the songs that were made specifically for radio consumption. Listen to To Pimp A Butterfly, that was more worthy of the Pulitzer Prize than DAMN was in my opinion.
Bradbury didn’t even receive it in the same category so it doesn’t even make sense. And I would argue that Kendrick does deserve it more as his work has had a much more profound effect on me.
TPAB should have won it if we were to pick a Kendrick album
JulyApotheosis GMKC or TPAB
You might like those albums but you can’t deny that damn was his most commercially successful album.
@@Me-bj6in I dont see how that objectifies it's superiority in quality from those two. It just means it sold more copies than them, nothing more
Edit: I love damn btw. That wasnt a shot at the album
they picked this to celebrate all of Kendrick’s past accomplishments as well as DAMN. i can guarantee it
@@swood5505 ya. No matter what, im proud of him and his success

@@ALTROTOPIA I completely agree, TPAB is my favorite album of his and arguably my favorite of all time in general.
Anyone who questions kendricks talent. Listen to the song 'how much a dolla cost'. Don't listen to his mainstream songs you won't get the full picture
see where ur coming from here but who in the right mind would question Kendrick's talent???!?! like he's actually one of the GOATs of rap
how much a dollar cost is mainstream my friend
Cappie Cartwheel he means songs like humble, alright, etc.
Or Momma
Would've preferred TPAB to win, not DAMN
_BAKZ_ Butterfly was a masterpiece.
_BAKZ_ TPAB might be the reason he won it. It would make sense for the judges of an award like this to look at an artist’s entire body of music. They probably just had to credit DAMN as it’s his most recent release.
i agree, I believe this award was a belated acknowledge of TPAB
I agree. But I love Damn.
Either one would've been fitting
If anyone deserves it Kendrick does
Adlos %% facts
the hateful comments reinforce the powerful the truth Lamar brings
Why show a Nobel prize as the thumbail? #fail
Nobody knows how a Pulitzer looks like, It's too old
you mean the pullet surprise of broadcasters?
😂😂
Kendrick is a GOAT

Nah bro He won it with Damn, just because Damn is commercial doesn't mean its lyrically less than TPAB.
@seyamahonga1394 please tell them, DAMN deserves it just as much as TPAB does, just because it's more mainstream doesn't mean it's less conscious. It is just as conscious as TPAB is.
The thumb nail image for this video shows a Nobel medal. You brainiacs at CBC should know the Pulitzer is a separate thing.
🤣🤣
I'm not a fan of rap generally, but congrats to Lamar, he seems to have imitated life within his art. I wish Rush would be recognized for doing this for 40 years.
yeah I completely Agree with you, Rush deserved a Pulitzer
Rush is one of those bands that I feel is chronically underrated. Neil Peart, Geddy Lee, and Alex Lifeson deserve recognition as three of Canada's greatest artists.
TPAB is the reason Kendrick won
Should’ve Award it hip hop Along time ago but finally it happened
Now I did the next rapper who should be on the policy price is one of Kendrick’s biggest influences which is to Late great Legendary Tupac Shakur
This is a big step for hip hop
Man we looking at a legend in the making
-The Next Science Teaching Rapper
Lupe Fiasco happens to be a guest lecturer at MIT for rap theory hahaha
DAMN that's honestly amazing
That must have been one hell of an album
Well spoken black man 🙌🏾
Drake jsut can’t.
so much good jazz and Gil Scott Heron feel on Damn. Kendrick is only gonna rise.
Still waiting on Bob Marley's pulitzer
Kinda bummed me out how she brushed off the Shakespeare comparison with a laugh. Made it pretty obvious she has not listened to the album.
Comparing kendrick lamar to shakespeare IS laughable
Shakespeare created content for mass consumption by common people as well while being regarded as creating fairly topical storytelling to the people of the age. Further, while his work was being performed and while he was alive people did not validate his work to the standard we hold it up to today. Kendrick being compared to Shakespeare is a justifiable.

Will we remember Kendrick Lamar in 400 years probably not. So yeh it's a joke.

Damn.
roof pizza heh, nice

Bravo Kendrick!
sit down with your comments be humble
I go to his high school 😁
🔥🔥🔥💎

Kendrick really knocked it out of the park with this one.
The judges said the album captured modern African American life but were the judges African American ?
QueenxofxthexBurbs does it matter? The way Kendrick raps is almost like poetic story telling. And the Pulitzer award committee look for stuff like that. No matter the race or religion.
Xx DutchBLAZ3R xX yes it does in a way, alot of Whites like to think they know the Black experience. Not saying they were all white but it's true.
Just let the dude win without arguing damn.
🤴🏿🤴🏿🤴🏿🤴🏿🤴🏿
TPAB OR DAMN as long asbit was Kendrick that win it then that's ok. DAMN really showcased an amazing literally context.
He been deserving it
Lamar == Shakespeare
~Some guy on CBC, 2018
wow someone has a different opinion than yours, so crazy
I bet you've read into neither Shakespeare or Kendrick then
Well, as someone who studies drama, yes
The only rapper to win a Pulitzer Prize yet!!!!
THEY NOT LIKE US
I can’t help but think the protest to this award recipient is more racial.
Of course.
John McSween you heard the album I assume?
John McSween and that’s you’re opinion as to what you feel is deserving of the award. This man work is studied across the country at the highest level of academia.
Good now now we just need to fix the race problem here in America
That won't happen!!!
No they didn't. Kendrick Lamar own the world. that's why he got this. no amount of grammys would be enough
Yes
The Puritans (alt right christians) in early 17th century England continually frustrated Queen Elizabeth I with wanting to shut down theatres where Shakespeare and other writers performed their plays...considering plays to be degenerate! Go figure! Now we say Shakespeare is the ultimate in literature! By the way, the queen got so fed up with the Puritans that they ultimately left England in a huff and headed to the New World!
The disrespect towards Jazz was not necessary
Thank God rap used to have political/ social massage like this
Honestly, good kid mad city was his best album
I thought Pultizer prizes were just for books?
Y’all do u think tupac Would deserve it ?
Hell yeah but he dead
I haven't heard of the peltzer Prize before this
The thumbnail is so dumb
Good
???????????? ???????????????????????
He has no idea what he's talking ab
I bet he actually did
I never heard of this award--if it's so great why this award isn't well known?
brandnew new most people have heard of it
If you’re not familiar with jazz, classical music, and books. Then yeah you probably have never heard of it
DON'T CALL ME BLK NO MO, I'M A ISRAELITE! -WON
Yah.
Mediocre and generic hiphop. Smells like someone wanted to be inclusive.
Someone forgot to not get dropped on their head as a baby
Have you listened to the album?
You realize there are other black Pulitzer prize winners that came waaaay before Kendrick...
There is NOTHING generic or mediocre about the lyrics he provides, apart from the songs that were made specifically for radio consumption. Listen to To Pimp A Butterfly, that was more worthy of the Pulitzer Prize than DAMN was in my opinion.
You clearly haven't listened to Kendrick Lamar and can't differentiate his lyricism to the Lil Pumps of the world.
"The time was right"..... we get it, all that matters is the color of his skin.....
No actually try to listen to it
of course every time a black gets an award is cause is black(sarcasm)
happened with Obama, Kendrick, Louis Armstrong
Drugs, bitches, guns. Sure, sounds legit.
They get handed everything
?
He doesn’t deserve the same award ray Bradbury received
Juan Reza did you even listen to the album??
Who?
Gosh how broke are you.
Bradbury didn’t even receive it in the same category so it doesn’t even make sense. And I would argue that Kendrick does deserve it more as his work has had a much more profound effect on me.
Bruh u so mad😂
I thought you received a Pulitzer prize for betting the world? How does Crap music better the world. It's noise pollution.
Leave him in his ignorance please don't argue with fools
ignorant
How do u out of touch a$& geezers end up on YT? Shouldn’t u be sitting on ur lawn yelling at kids or sumthin?
Dunce hater 😂
