OK GUYS.. TO PIMP A MOTHAFUCKING BUTTERFLY!!

i thought King Kunta was the only subpar song on the album, but the bassline and the hook were stuck in my head all day so i don't really know anymore. and the concept is just too brilliant. it's a big surprise, i won't give it to you guys yet. however, this album just topped Good Kid in my opinion. and that says A LOT. |

"Institutionalized" man.. i never thought a song with a hook that goes "shit don't change until you get up and wash your ass" would be so good.

Wow... Wow, holy goddamn fuck!
"Institutionalized"... "King Kunta"... This shit is crazy. This is exactly what I wanted. Yeah, it's dark as hell. And there seems to be a definite FlyLo influence... Madlib too... In the beats and production. Compton crate diggin' What a great guest spot from Snoop. Shit. I'm just digging the shit out of this. |

according to the credits, FlyLo only produced the first track. however Thundercat is all over the album.

This is kinda on a different level than Joey B. I mean, Kendrick's the biggest thing to happen to hip hop since Ye. Joey's album is no less good for how sprawling and dope and crazy and epic Butterfly is, but still, even Tetsuo & Youth is going to bow deeply to this beast.
I am pretty sure this is going to sell like crazy. |

Kanye can't see the forest for the trees and Drake's too bland overall to be worth mentioning. I genuinely hope they're taking notes though, as Kendrick Lamar is the real deal. The more worthwhile hip-hop out there, the better. I want Kanye to top 808's so badly, but don't see it happening.
As for Kendrick's latest release: A+. A lot of my initial thoughts echo Severian's - very FlyLo/Madlib inspired. It's a sonic rollercoaster in the method in which it transcends vibes. To Pimp a Butterfly is a love letter to hip-hop, the black spirit, and human expression. It's alive. After only the second listen, I'm already considering it superior to GKMC. I will be buying both the CD for my car, and the (hopefully) eventual vinyl release whenever that drops. I want to drop a needle to an album that starts off with a needle drop. TPaB has a very timeless aesthetic. I know what I like when I hear it. Every track kicks, there's not a sluggish second to be found. TL;DR: Your move, Violent J. PS: King Kunta has one of the best beats on the album. No way is it a sub-par track. Also I've never actually listened to Joey Badass... =/ |

"A little nappy headed nigga with the world behind him
Life ain't shit but a fat vagina Screamin' 'Annie are you okay? Annie are you okay?' Limo tinted with the gold plates Straight from the bottom, this the belly of the beast From a peasant, to a prince, to a motherfucking king" My god. Beat sounds like Skull Snaps or something. |

Then on Institutionalized:
Kendrick: [i]"Life can be like a box of chocolate Quid pro quo, somethin' for somethin', that's the obvious Oh shit, flow's so sick, don't you swallow it Bitin' my style, you're salmonella poison positive I can just alleviate the rap industry politics Milk the game up, never lactose intolerant The last remainder of real shit, you know the obvious Me scholarship? No, streets put me through colleges Be all you can be, true, but the problem is A dream's only a dream if work don't follow it"[/I Then there's the dude that's not Snoop Dogg who flows like Koopsta-lite. Man, this is real good stuff. These Walls is like a kick-back 90's jam. Oh my god. And that disco hook. Goddamn, Kendrick. |
