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

I remember just being blown the fukk away first time hearing it.

When it got to Mortal Man and how he incorporated that Tupac interview. I knew I was listening to an all time classic in real time. I knew Kendrick was a generational artist and someone who deserved to be considered the “voice” of his era. I knew we’d be talking about this album for years and years to come.

It's crazy that this album is responsible for the new generation of LA jazz artists

Every note and key on this album is flawless, I'm not surprised they spent a shytload of time finding the right elements

Classic to me, byt a lot of ya'll hated it when it dropped.

Probably the best album of the past 15 years, regardless of the musical genre.

Wesley theory still my GOAT Kendrick track

You can tell it took them years to make that album, the musical composition is groundbreaking

 

[Abstract83]

This is my all time favorite Kendrick album. Classic

I’ve argued it’s the last hip hop classic. People have brought up “Bandana” or “4:44” and I won’t argue with them. But for me, nothing has come close to TPAB

This was actually a track for Flying Lotus album, but they ended up making this one instead:

Been listening to early Kendrick over the past few days and it's clear Terrace Martin was already on that wave for Here, My Dear, around the OD era. I Had No Idea is notable with its progression into a jam session vibe, not unlike how TPAB was put together, love those keys during the 2nd verse. The vision was always there, just needed some time to be polished and refined.

All I hear when anybody shyts on this is, "I don't like music or history "

Cole was on some bullshyt when he dissed this masterpiece

Cole was on some bullshyt with he dissed this masterpiece

Would’ve been interesting to see how he followed it up had he stood on it and what Kendrick’s reply would’ve been.
