In its summary of the Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar’s 2017 album Damn, which it awarded the 2018 prize for music, the Pulitzer board characterized the album as “a virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of African-American life.” The music world erupted in approbation—and a fair amount of hand-wringing—at this recognition of Damn’s artistic merit. Rightfully so: Lamar’s win marked the moment when the prize—long the exclusive province of classical and, more recently, jazz music since its 1943 inception—recognized a piece of popular music as possessing the same intellectual and cultural import.
