The people’s choice Kendrick Lamar has finally gotten his
just due. On April 16, 2018 he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in music for
his album “DAMN,” for “distinguished musical composition.” This is the first
Pulitzer awarded in music for a non-classical, non-jazz album. At the 2018
Grammy Awards, Lamar was beaten out in several categories where he arguably
should have won. Inexplicably, the Grammys limited Lamar to the rap category.
Maybe next year they will do better.
Congratulations to Lamar for his
outstanding achievements, including a Generational Icon Award, the key to the
city of Compton, for making the Rolling Stones list of the top 100 debut albums
of all times, and the numerous Grammys he has won to date in various rap
categories.
