Although the internet may not be capable of handling back-to-back albums from Kendrick Lamar, an internet theory is hinting at the possibility of a second album from the Compton rhymer dropping this weekend.
Shortly after K-Dot dropped DAMN, a user by the name of n9y25ah7_ hopped on Reddit with an intriguing theory on the possibility of a second Kendrick album coming Easter Sunday. As time passes, more and more users are uncovering evidence in support of the hypothesis.
Some of the “proof” that has been put forward could be interpreted in different ways, so take this theory for what it is: a theory.
The original user took note of the fact that Kendrick “dies” at the start of DAMN and could be resurrected with an album released on Easter, the day Jesus was said to have returned from the dead.
“KENDRICK ‘DIES’ IN THIS ALBUM. HE GETS SHOT IN THE INTRO AND IT GOES FULL CIRCLE ON THE LAST TRACK. JESUS DIED AND WAS RESSURECTED 3 DAYS LATER ON EASTER. EASTER IS 3 DAYS FROM NOW. KENDRICK IS JESUS AND WILL BE RESURRECTED IN 3 DAYS WITH A NEW ALBUM,” n9y25ah7_ writes.
The Reddit user also referenced a tweet from TDE’s in-house producer, Sounwave, to craft another theory about a Sunday release. Sounwave posted a photo of Morpheus, Laurence Fishburne’s character from The Matrix, known for offering Keanu Reeve’s Neo a red pill and a blue pill.
There is the possibility that the red and blue signify two different albums from Kendrick. The album art for DAMN, as well as Kendrick’s new Spotify picture both back up that possibility.
“DAMN REPRESENTS THE RED PILL. THE BACKGROUND OF THE ALBUM ART IS RED BRICKS. TODAY KENDRICK CHANGED HIS SPOTIFY PICTURE TO A BACKGROUND WITH BLUE BRICKS. RED PILL AND BLUE PILL. CRIPS AND BLOODS,” n9y25ah7_ added.
In a separate thread, another reddit user touched on the possibility of Kendrick dropping an album about dying (DAMN) and another about living.
“Album starts with a story. At the end of the story on the first track he gets shot and dies. And the end of the last track on the album it rewinds and starts the story again. The second album will be the second telling of the story but instead of dying he will live,” reddit user, Shit_Lord_Detective wrote.
In regards to a possible title for Kendrick’s rumored second album, Twitter user @sourbhris offered some insight.
Sunday night also corresponds with Kendrick’s headlining set for Day 3 of Coachella, which will be streamed live on YouTube, so if he does have a Part 2 hidden up his sleeve, he’ll have a massive live audience for it.
The idea of an artist dropping surprise albums back-to-back isn’t entirely far-fetched, given that Future released FUTURE and HNDRXX within a week of each other earlier this year. That said, rumors of a third album spread quickly before eventually being quashed by the man himself.
With Kendrick not keen on spoiling any surprises, fans will just have to wait until Sunday to see if the theories hold any weight.
DAMN, is so crazy! You can tell he spills his heart into every track! Substance! Just wow!
Be humble, Bitch sit down!
If all this is true, there is NOBODOY, I MEAN NOBODY currently rapping that’s gonna be able to match what this boy is about to do…as CAMRON once said, I KNOW EVERYBODY GONE GO HOME AND WRITE HARD TONIGHT (except drake), I KNOW YALL GONE WRITE HARD TONIGHT!!!
I FREESTYLE ALL MY MUSIC AND THEY ALL HITS. I DON’T NEED TO WTRITE TO MAKE A HIT. #FACTS
What you need to do is spellcheck
yo shit.. it’s obvious you don’t need to “write”.. I don’t think you can bruh.. FOH!!
How do you enjoy being a retarded muthafucker THUGGER THUGGER? HAHAHAHA!!!
Would be super dope if this proves to be true! Now we wait.
I, at this goddamn very moment, don’t give a f what’s he gon’ do next. “DAMN.” is straaaaight fire. The production is a matured version of GKMC’s sound, mixed with those epic TPAB moments (that beat on Mortal Man, y’all know what I’m talkin about). And the lyrics are the best thing I’ve heard ever since TPAB dropped. I’m glad he’s back with another great album. Just an advice in case u still hatin: Be humble.
Lmaoooo!!!! That user has way too much time on his hands and so does DX for posting this bullshit. FOH!!
You sound like a salty little diva.. let the people have their fun. If it doesn’t happen no biggie.. if it does.. you look like a b!tch. I swear all everyone does is complain. Internet is so full of butt hurt.
Smh…
Go cry..
OK so idk how to prove this but I am that user. All I did was notice that the whole Good Friday/resurrection thing, and Soundwave’s tweet reflecting the album art of DAMN. I didn’t expect people to focus on the easter album theory more than DAMN itself. People aren’t appreciating the 10/10 album Kendrick just gave us.
The cool thing is that A new album on Easter??’s mom will resurrect a gaggle of penises from her sweaty merkin cave. It’ll be a Festivus Miracle!!!
A beautiful masterpiece of an album from beginning to end it like he combined o.d section 80 gkmc and tpab elements to compose this album I very happy with this ensemble and I hope he drop another one next Friday to complete this one thanx cornrow kenny
DNA is insane! I can’t stress this enough!
2:05 -DAMN.
ctupidgenius on instagram (TDE) said there’s an album dropping Sunday
Kenny is the best thing since sliced bread.
hes not droppin anything on easter, just enjoy this one
And under that photo of the morpheus photo tweet he wrote “But what if I told you…thats not the official version” referring to the leaked version of Damn. Stop reaching my good people. Damn is the only album.
Well… that actually sounds good bc my feelings on this DAMN album is mixed… Some tracks are fire but I dont like that singing shit.
Another interesting note: 2Pac’s fourth album was a double disc so Kendrick Lamar might follow suit and release a double disc for his 4th album to keep with the idea that Kendrick is 2pac resurrected
Don’t forget that I also said… I think now, how wayward things have gone within the past few months, my focus is ultimately going back to my community and the other communities around the world where they’re doing the groundwork.
Stop getting all that dax inside my hat cuHz. THat part.
Could be possible, my only addition would be that the album is called GOD, since damn is styled as DAMN. the period suggests that it’s the second part if it is a two part, the first part is coming and it’ll be GOD, which will make is GODDAMN. , Kendrick is going to resurrect after death as GOD. And would be less rap oriented than DAMN. The O in GOD could be styled as the halo. And since every track on damn is ended with a period, every track on god could also be named to match damn. If you listen to the whole damn album, the end suggests this theory, goddam you all goddam you all nah? I could say if this is true the last song would be called KENDRICK, so it would be KENDRICK DUCKWORTH.
i hope hes not dropping another album that got damn fast..i honestly miss when rappers/labels took the time to promote albums dropping at least 2 to 3 videos prior to the album this fast internet streaming sh!ts getting wack..im not a fan of k.dot at all but i did hear this album and its not bad at all..actually kinda hard but anyways stick to this Damn album and if ur goin 2drop another album wait til the 4th quarter man its a better look
I think he should drop an album called king kendrick, just spit bars over some west coast beats. Just straight bangers lkle backseat freestyle
If he does I hope it’s an improvement on DAMN.
Not living up to the buzz Humble created imo.
