IMHO: To Pimp A Butterfly: Kendrick Lamar

To Pimp A Butterfly is the crossroads where The Chronic's funk meets It Takes a Nation of Millions' consciousness. It's the intersection where Detroit Red in a zoot suit crashes head long into the words of Malcolm X on a busy Harlem street corner. It's the boom boom room where Tupac's ability to spin yarns and manufacture emotions, and Biggie's larger than life confidence and persona have a menage-a-trios with the sublime and technical lyricism of Eminem. To Pimp a Butterfly is an epic poem, an album for the ages and well worth your ear and dollar.

In today's world commercial hip hop is the bulk of what the masses are exposed to. The Mantra of get money, pimp hoes, shake that @ss, swing from poles, party hard and die young seems to echo through the hollow bars of the songs served up daily by today's radio rapper du jour; and the kids eat it up. It's rare that a hip-hop artist is today able to achieve mainstream success, be respected by “hip hop purists,” relate to the youth and create meaningful albums filled with content that challenges the listener's thoughts, questions their actions and pushes them toward a better alternative. Kendrick Lamar has done exactly that and it's no anomaly for K. Dot.

I initially heard the buzz surrounding Kendrick Lamar with the release of his C4 mixtape. I was first actually introduced to his music with the album/mixtape Overly Dedicated. I listened to H.O.C, Night of the Living Junkies and Growing Apart on O.D. and thought, this guy is onto something. The entire album was an interesting mixture of the devil may care with heaven can't wait. Later the Section.80 album/mixtape would drop as would my jaw after the first listen. I thought to myself then, that's probably as good as it's going to get with this guy; he just peaked on a mixtape, too bad. Shortly after Section.80's release Good Kid M.A.A.D City was announced. Good Kid boasted Dr. Dre as its producer and promised guest spots from a whose who of hip hop royalty . I picked it up the day it dropped, put in my earbuds and couldn't believe that Kendrick had gotten better as an MC and even more clever and poignant as a song writer. Kendrick had learned the art of preaching without sounding preachy; of teaching you a lesson without you even realizing you were in class. Good Kid M.A.A.D City was probably the best Hip Hop concept album I'd heard since Andre 3000's The Love Below. I encouraged any and everyone who picked it up to listen to it from top to bottom without skipping a track. I told them to take in the totality of the album because what Kendrick had created wasn't a collection of singles but one complete and fully realized idea split into 11 (15 if you got the deluxe edition) well crafted tracks.

Kendrick emerges from his cocoon three years after Good Kid with To Pimp A Butterfly and we find him once again pushing minds and boundaries. This time instead of offering you one complete story dispersed across 11 tracks he gives you one epic poem spread across 16 songs. The album touches on self love, self actualization, race, religion, politics, community building and community accountability with a myriad of other diverse and necessary subjects all dancing in between. There is a heaping helping of black nationalist consciousness weaving its way through the album but it's dressed in its Sunday's best and smiling wide so as not to scare the casual listener. The lyrics are complex but not so complex that they aren't readily accessible and digestible. Kendrick never uses a sesquipedalian word where he can use an infinitesimal one. The production is funk and jazz heavy with a little bit of rock and soul interspersed for good measure. The guest spots are as on his previous albums kept to a minimum with Thundercat, Ron Isley, George Clinton, Bilal, Anna Wise and even Snoop Dogg lending their voices to hooks, skits and chants and only North Carolina female MC Rapsody really trades bars with Kendrick. The insight, call to action and conversations (especially the final one) encapsulated within the lines of this album are not to be missed. I personally don't think I heard a better hip hop album than Good Kid M.A.A.D. City in 2012 and doubt seriously if hip hop will produce anything better than To Pimp A Butterfly in 2015. #IMHO
