A Pulitzer Prize executive has provided context behind Lamar landing the game-changing award.

“The time was right,” Dana Canedy, the administrator of the prizes, said in an interview after the winners were announced. “We are very proud of this selection. It means that the jury and the board judging system worked as it’s supposed to — the best work was awarded a Pulitzer Prize.” She added: “It shines a light on hip-hop in a completely different way. This is a big moment for hip-hop music and a big moment for the Pulitzers.” (New York Times)

This week, everyone from Busta Rhymes to comedian Martin Lawrence have acknowledged K. Dot’s game-changing win for his DAMN. album.
