KENDRICK AND J.COLE ALBUM
I had to check the date of my last post to realize how long it had been since I posted something...I hope this new post makes up for the lost time.
It's really not about anything new. We all know that Kendrick Lamar and J.Cole decided to do a joint album some time ago, and when the news came out, it was crazy. I mean, you're putting two of the greatest (if not the two greatest) rappers of our time on one album? That has to be some next level thing.
The album dubbed "Reminiscing" is bound to be an all time classic when it comes out, but the question is, when will it come out?
Now ever since the pair of tracks for Black Friday were released, when each tweeted a link to a song from the other. Kendrick raps over Cole’s “A Tale of 2 Citiez” off 2014 Forest Hills Drive, while Cole goes in over Kendrick’s “Alright” off To Pimp a Butterfly, every fan's tongue has gotten wetter, waiting for the album. There was something like a hint in J.Cole's cover of "Alright" where he talked about something coming out in February...but we're in March, going on to April, and there's still no sign of a new album except the album artwork showing a Kendrick Lamar and J.Cole face mashup.
So the question is, when will this golden album be released? Well, In an interview with MTV News, TDE President Dave Free asked fans to understand that it won’t be easy to put something together — especially from two of the industry’s biggest names. “A joint album does sound great, but people need to understand, these are two geniuses…It takes a long time for one of them to get in a space to create a song…it takes a lot of time and energy. It all has to be a singular project, but it can’t just happen overnight,” Free explained. Free continued by saying that while some song writers and singers can come up with good songs with limited time, he reminded fans that there are some who need proper timing to create a song that won’t disappoint the masses. Last year, Lamar acquired 11 nominations at the Grammy Awards for “To Pimp a Butterfly,” and it’s getting more obvious that the rap sensation isn’t slowing down. Free admitted that the rapper is “always working,” which is probably one of the reasons why the collaboration with J. Cole was never completed even if planning already started years back. It would be unfair to say that it was Lamar’s doing that has been causing the delay of the project and Free said there are a whole lot of good music that TDE will has prepared for fans this year, including new albums from Isaiah Rashad, Q, and SZA. For now, fans can just sit back and relax while tuning in to the songs from other great rappers and music-makers, allowing for Lamar and J. Cole to give enough time for their project to become a reality”.
Right, so yes, that's what's up with this album, when will it come out? Like the date of the second coming of Christ, I have no idea, but the good thing is, there definitely will be an album, and with all the work being put in, it has to be nothing short of a masterpiece.
