It's the first non-classical or jazz artist to win the award.

NEW YORK (AP) — Kendrick Lamar won the Pulitzer Prize for music Monday, making history as the first non-classical or jazz artist to win the prestigious prize.
The revered rapper is also the most commercially successful musician to receive the award, usually reserved for critically acclaimed classical acts who don’t live on the pop charts.
The 30-year-old won the prize for “DAMN.,” his raw and powerful Grammy-winning album. The Pulitzer board said Monday the album is “a virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African-American life.” He will win $15,000.

Best thing he did was get rid of Khloe Kardashian. She was holding him back. Nothing but success since they split.

By who? Guarantee none of the previous winners even have a clue who he is.

i.e. We have to give it to a culcha'd black guy because our progressive ideology insists upon it.
Pulitzer gave a joint award to the Washington Post and NYT for covering a Russia investigation that has, to date, born no fruit whatsoever. At this point it's like reporting on the discovery of bigfoot.

The Pulitzer Prize is meaningless in today's society.
It's the equivalent of going to collage for an Associates Degree.

I'd bet that neither he nor anyone who likes his music has a clue what that means.
