Our hope is officially restored after Punch, the President of Top Dawg Entertainment, back-pedaled and said there is still a possibility that the long-rumored and collaborative album will happen.

This week, the head of said that the joint project , tearing down any hope of its existence. 

“That’s not happening. 0 tracks. Not happening,” wrote the executive on Twitter.

After seeing how things exploded on social media and in the news, Punch back-pedaled a touch and is now claiming that there is still a chance that it will arrive one day. However, we shouldn’t get our hopes up.

“Nah I don’t know. It might still happen. I want it to happen,” he tweeted last night. “Y’all really want that album still??? Like for real? I think it would great for hip hop. I did my part though. I spoke to both of them. Hit them n***as!”

So, there you go. It looks like there are no current plans for the collaborative album from Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole to ever see a release. However, if the fans push hard enough with Kendrick and Cole, maybe they’ll finally cave and do it for the culture.

What do you think?
