Will the real Kendrick Lamar fans please stand up? 

The untitled unmastered rapper has announced that he's holding a lyric contest on Twitter at 4 p.m. PST Wednesday. He'll be tweeting out eight questions -- one about each of his new album's eight songs -- focusing on their lyrics. 

"Be sure to get your copy now and listen to the lyrics closely because these will not be easy!" he warns on Twitter.

Lamar's latest album has taken the music world by storm since its surprise release late on March 3. The introspective piece of work contains demos from Lamar's last album, To Pimp a Butterfly, that are untitled and unmastered -- just as the title says.
