got added to consideration when the jury was looking into a composition with hip hop influences, and decided to go to the source – where the ideas, in this case, are even stronger, both rawer and smarter. (which has plenty).Īccording to the Pulitzer reporting, DAMN.
For that matter, the Pulitzers were late on Kendrick Lamar, too: To Pimp a Butterfly, from 2015, has even more musical breadth than DAMN. I hereby nominate, for a retrospective Pulitzer, Public Enemy’s 1988 album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back: an experimental sonic bombshell, a verbal torrent, a mind expander.
And if you ask me, it should have happened sooner. To me, it looks like some of the squawks are complaints about exclusivity being breached. They were unconscionably late – looking awfully cliquish to me – even in recognising minimalism: Steve Reich got his Pulitzer in 2009, not in 1977 for Music for 18 Musicians. They ignored jazz – artistically subtle and sublime, commercially endangered – until Wynton Marsalis finally got a Pulitzer in 1997. Meanwhile, wasn’t the music Pulitzer, for many decades, largely the captive of a small, insular academic music scene? The Pulitzers refused a special citation for Duke Ellington, who never won the award.
