Following the release of DAMN., Kendrick spoke to Beats 1 about the longevity of his music and how God is using him as a vessel.
“I like to put a lot of different things and wordplays and messages in my music because I want it to live further than two weeks,” Kendrick told Zane Lowe at the time. “I always felt like God used me as a vessel, whether to share my flaws, my intellect, my pain… [I’ve] always been a vessel. I can say the nastiest thing on record but I still feel like that’s [being] a vessel. You need to hear it. I can’t sugarcoat the reality.”
True to his words, DAMN. made an impact much longer than 14 days, but it’ll have to hold its position in the top 200 a whole lot longer to beat another milestone set by Kendrick.
In June 2020, his major label debut good kid, m.A.A.d city made history as the longest-charting Hip Hop album of all time by spending 400 weeks on the Billboard 200. As of February 16, the album is remarkably still on the chart after 433 weeks.
