The argument here is that there was promo for Kendrick leading up to the album, even though the title might not have been announced. Everyone was buzzing about new music from him before the super bowl, especially after that snippet on NLU. Obviously a Google search for Kendrick GNX wouldn't return anything 😂😂😂

Calling GNX a surprise-release is cope?

Cap, the argument was @Wbac saying that GNX was not a surprise release

He's tryna change it now to say that there was "promo" in the form of people anticipating a new Kendrick album at the time (which doesn't even make any sense)

All the kbots were hyped about the new album after the snippet on NLU, you can even revisit the old threads on KTT, it was 100% promo.

GNX was not a surprise release, Drake told you he was doing the beef for clout. Then he proved it himself lol.

I realize now we’re just dealing with two different versions of reality

Did Kendrick Lamar fans know that his next album would be called GNX the day before it released?

Very much so.

The 'argument' that a widely-proclaimed victory in the most popular rap battle of all time, a #1 smash single with music video and a snippet of another new song, plus a Super Bowl headliner announcement didn't effectively serve as promotion for any upcoming Kendrick Lamar projects is so incredibly disingenuous lmao. Even without a title, date and album cover, that s*** was promo

That built anticipation for his next album

That was not promotion for GNX

Those are two different things

By this logic, MAID OF HONOUR and HABIBTI weren’t surprise drops either, right?

Promotion for GNX would’ve been

“My next album is titled GNX, it drops on this date, here’s the cover art”

ya but the iceman streams served as promo for them

So just to make sure we’re on the same page… an album whose title isn’t revealed before release, cover art isn’t revealed before release, release date isn’t revealed before release, and drops without warning midway through the day… that album isn’t a surprise-release?
