Did we see it coming?! Nope. Not at all. But we’re glad it happened!
Kendrick Lamar, the conscious lyricist busted the seams of social media and dropped his FULL album ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ just 8 days early than it’s actual release date. Of course, fans, media and celebs were all talking about Lamar’s impromptu project drop.
He first chimed-in with this on Sunday night:
Yesterday. March 14th. Was a Special Day.
— Kendrick Lamar (@kendricklamar) March 16, 2015
ICYMU: It was the 20th anniversary of Tupac Shakur’s Me Against the World.
20 yrs. Later.
— Kendrick Lamar (@kendricklamar) March 16, 2015
Then he tweets:
Keep calm. All is well.

Next thing you know…the bomb dropped:

Yup, Kendrick pulled a Beyonce move and now, Sunday will never be the same. It seems as though “the weekends” are now officially the surprise album, single and video release days.
On this album, KL digs into the jazz-funk roots of music, encasing his lyrical equality, providing much mental food for all to talk about. #TPAB features appearances by: James Fauntleroy, Snoop Dogg, George Clinton, Bilal, Ron Isley and more. It’s pure perfection!
Even Empire‘s own Timbaland spoke about the album:
