Time-Traveling Critics Break Physics to Review Kendrick Lamar’s Surprise Album That Doesn’t Exist Yet

In what might be the most ambitious crossover between music journalism and quantum physics, Kendrick Lamar has announced a surprise album that somehow already has reviews from next week. The rapper’s upcoming release, “GNX,” has created such a temporal paradox that even the laws of physics are asking for an advance copy.

“I’ve already written seventeen different reviews,” says veteran music critic Herbert Wingspan, while simultaneously existing in three different timelines. “One where it’s a masterpiece, one where it’s trash, and fifteen where I hedge my bets so aggressively I technically never state an opinion at all.”

The Surprise That Surprised No One

March E. Tellerman, Master of Marketing Madness at PISR, offered his unique perspective: “This surprise album drop is like my mama wrestling that dead gator – everyone knew it was coming, but we’re all still acting shocked! And just like that gator, these critics are trying to bite into something that ain’t even real yet, baby!”

The late Stephen Hawking was somehow reached for comment: “The phenomenon of music critics reviewing an unreleased Kendrick Lamar album presents a fascinating paradox that threatens to tear apart the very fabric of space-time. Also, I hear the beats are fire.”

Meanwhile, Drake has already prepared responses to every possible lyric combination that could appear on the album, storing them in a quantum supercomputer that simultaneously releases and doesn’t release diss tracks.
