Kendrick Lamar had everyone’s hopes up when he mentioned the date April 7 on his new single, “The Heart Pt. 4.” It appears, however, that was just a warm-up for when the Compton native actually drops his fourth studio album on April 14, a full week away, which understandably has Twitter users losing their minds. Although there is, in fact, no album (yet), the dramatic reactions are almost worth it. They range from fury and devastation to tying it to the recent Syria bombings, to patience and anticipation. Check out some of them below and read what we know about the forthcoming project here.
