Kendrick Lamar Appreciation Thread

[-_-]

This album is art. The funky/jazzy feel is goat, production is great, and the concept is missing from a lot of people.

You have to listen to it track by track to get the concept, he's telling a poem. starts it at the end of the first song and adds a new line every song, each track is based of and tells a story of the line he stopped at in the previous track. He adresses alot of subjects, from admitting of the flaws in him, to the flaws in the system, and the racial & tribal differences, and how he invites to fix them.

In the outro, he tells the full poem, turns out he made it for tupac. Cause he feels like he's his offspring and he has the same message and motivation pac had, to change the nation and unite it, the same purpose of kings like martin luther. Hence the conversation with tupac. Note that pac's 'me against the world' was released in the same date of today, 20 years ago.

you know something i noticed!!?! all the songs they fit and tie back into the title for example, how much a dollar cost to pimp a butterfly...hood politics to pimp a butterfly. wesley's theory to pimp a butterfly... KENDRICK LAMAR to pimp a butterfly lol..idk, it just seemed weird to me it seems lol. still trying to figure out what this album means. there's no way you go from good kid mad city to this. its just too humble, i get that its a letter to pac but i expected a bigger twist...like something that would change the way you look at the album. you know what i mean?? idk.

You definitely need to relisten this is one of the best projects that i have ever heard.
All of his albums are heavily jazz influenced.

Cant get into it...

And GKMC didnt feel jazz influenced? That was a classic and the beat were dope. It was rap not this...

This is dope af. AOTY for sure...

Try to listen to the songs as a whole, not just the beat.

I mean lyrically its good for sure and his stories is def interesting to listen to.
