To Pimp A Butterfly [VINYL]

Product Information

this album really changed my mind on things like racism, black culture and the way i listen to music. but I’m deducting stars because this is somehow the highest rated album on the platform and I’m not trying to contribute to that average. Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term. Every producer, musician, sample, engineer, and crew member on this thing put in their best work ever, elevating a masterpiece into a fucking historical landmark. it was the second album that i listened fully, and it was an odd experience to think this simple album was top 1 on a site like rym.

Transcends genre and encompasses art as a concept, one of the most brilliant and breathtaking works of humanity. I get having to split it, they pushed as much as they could on Side A, but how in the hell did they manage to so badly fuck that up? His full length debut on Daptone Records is equal parts raw feeling and elegance and exudes confidence and charm.One of the biggest problems with more of the modern rap I've seen is its lack of variation or variety, it's just the same beats and vocals and all topics in the song seem to be sex, drugs, and gangs. The production is wide and lush, each note from each instrument and sample rings out and you don't miss a detail. There really isn’t a low point in this album or in its tracklist, as I think everything holds up together masterfully.

Over its 40 years in business, PIAS has grown to be one of the largest independently-owned music groups in the world, carving out its own in-house recorded music division PIAS [Recordings]. after listening to mortal man and realising where the name "to pimp a butterfly" comes from im just left out disturbed and terrified by how this album actually ended.

If you've never heard this album before you're almost committing a fucking crime, an absolute must hear for any human being with the capacity to feel emotion.

But unlike that album, this is more subtle in how everything is connected, with the more noticeable connection being the poem Kendrick continues to read out multiple times in this album. Though I did enjoy the hook of King Kunta, and I love Wesley’s Theory and the interludes were great. not because its bad, but because it was overrated and i didnt understand what people saw in this thing and therefore ive been hating on this album for like a year. The story and concepts are met with fine tuned and ambitious production that draws influence from genres that had been heavily progressed by the African-American community such as Funk influences on “Wesley’s Theory”, the Jazz influences on “For Free? The transition from These Walls to U, when Kendrick says "I found myself screaming in a hotel room", it cuts off before he says the M, then on the other side you actually hear him pronounce the M before the scream starts.

i've wanted to review this but many of my drafts didnt really work out so i just wanted to post what comes out of my mind. Over the last few months he has disarmed packed rooms of rowdy concert goers, leaving them silent as they hold fast to every syllable sung. Layers upon layers open up, revealing little bits a pieces filling out the atmosphere you might otherwise miss.
