Kendrick Lamar Drops Album Release Date In A Quoted Tweet Of A Fan Claiming He's 'Officially Retired'

Several months after appearing on his cousin Baby Keem’s debut album, Kendrick Lamar has announced his official comeback in one of the most unpredictable ways. K-dot chose to pop out of hiding by quoting and responding to a tweet from a little over two months ago. Seemingly exhausted from the wait for Kendrick’s next album, Twitter user @raptalksk suggested the rapper’s absence meant his retirement, tweeting “Kendrick Lamar is officially retired.” Emerging from what seems to be the shadows of his successful music career, the GRAMMY award-winning artist and Pulitzer prize winner used the tweet from February to let the world know he is still here. Attaching a link to the mysterious oklama.com, Kendrick brought back the cryptic website he initially tweeted out on August 21, 2022.

Black Twitter Makes A+ Use of Twitter’s New Voice Feature

Ever wrote a tweet you needed your followers to hear ? Well, Twitter just made it possible to turn your thoughts into audio snippets. In a blog published Wednesday (June 17), the social media giant announced that users can now record voice tweets to capture the nuance of a conversation. Each audio records for up to 140 seconds. If you need more time, just keep talking. A new voice tweet is automatically added to the thread once your recorded message runs over the time limit. “There’s a lot that can be left unsaid or uninterpreted using text, so we hope voice Tweeting will create a more human experience for listeners and storytellers alike,” the post read.
