Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly | (Discussion Thread) *Stream*

One thing I will say about this album that can be construed as negative is this, though its more about younger fans than the album itself:

Anyone acting like this style of pro-black funk-infused Hip-Hop is something new like The Coup never existed is foolish.

That aside, I truly love this album.

Oh Yeh !

Really though, we gotta give a round of applause to Sounwave. Dude really did his job on this.

nikkas was fronting on kendrick when he said he wasn't really using any big name producers and sticking in house

Lucy gone fill your pockets
Lucy gone move your mama out of Compton
Inside the gi-gantic mansion like I promised
Lucy just want your trust and loyalty

So dark...

And then realized that Sounwave is dangerous when you put him in a room with a keyboard and drum machine.

Word I didn't even see the post.

Only in 2015 can an album being layered and deep - enhancing the replay value to a limitless level - be seen as a negative.

Listening and picking up something new every time is one of the best things about albums like this. It's what's gonna make it timeless - the layers and complexity.

There's always Drake for nikkas who like their shyt real shallow, real surface level, and real forgettable after a week. Don't remember the last time I had a desire to go back to any of that dude's albums.

As an old head, all I can say is



So much music by his contemporaries is so disposable that it's refreshing to hear an album that you actually need to digest over time to truly appreciate.

So many layers, so tightly themed, so consistent.....absolutely brilliant.

I'm suprised this is a mainstream album. Let's me know this thing of ours is not dead yet.

to the young man.

How Much A Dollar Cost is so good it has me tearing..


This album is so smooth, dark, gritty and "bluesy". No wonder "I" was put in it to balance it out.

still listening... still discovering new things

i hate when people make these
until the actual artist breaks it down
leave it alone

This was so corny yet funny at the same time
