      @@realstory5818isn’t that just mostly Jazz though?? I don’t think they sampled funk as much on that album. Funk like The chronic or Ice Cube The Predator. Kendrick kinda mixes both of the styles into perfection. A good example would be the G- funk sounding beats like King Kunta or Alright and then the Jazzy instruments that play throughout the songs and albums. Also Untitled Unmastered is also good and Kendrick kinda made a hybrid of a funk, Jazz and trap songs with untitled 02 and 07 😅

    One thing I think Good kid did was set this album up after "real" when his mom said
    "If I don't hear from you by tomorrow, I hope you come back and learn from your mistakes. Come back a man, tell your story to these black and brown kids in Compton. Let 'em know you was just like them, but you still rose from that dark place of violence, becoming a positive person. But when you do make it, give back with your words of encouragement, and that's the best way to give back. To your city... "
    I always felt like To Pimp A Butterfly is him fulfilling that promise.

    Still remember the day I heard this album. The day it was released. I was driving and had to pull over after about the 3rd track because I really couldn’t believe what I was hearing!
    I was a classically trained pianist since age 7. Became a deep hip hop head throughout high school and got into the turntablism/battle DJ circuit. Then got back on the keys and now a full working musician. So when it comes to hip hop and music, my ears are keen af. Hearing TPAB for the first time was as if the a new messiah presented itself to me in music form! lol
    And what happens at the very end of the last track, Mortal Man gave me the biggest of chills! I wish there were a way to listen to this album with fresh ears all over again.

    The first time i listened to "U" and the album as a whole was right after i had my own mental breakdown. I instantly clicked to the songs and especially when "Alright" started playing, it hit my spirit. As someone whos endured racial injustice, slander, and was even bullied for my color, TPAB connects so well. Kendrick made an absolute masterpiece making this album, not only for the Black community, but for everyone. We've all been tempted before, but the album really shows how you can get through it despite the contradicting issues that is our reailty.

    mortal man is one of my favorite closing tracks to an album ever, that interview bit with 2pac gave me a sense of motivation i haven’t had since freshman year, kendrick is an artist that transcends generational divides

    Truly one of my favorite albums of all time! I remember listening to it for the first time back in 2015 and it INSTANTLY hit me right where I needed it. I think this is one of those albums that made me want to study and look into music on a deeper level, period. I’m glad so many people are going back and revisiting Kendrick’s albums recently and this video is a great place to start~Looking forward to the next installment 💕

    I actually hold "To Pimp A Butterfly" in the same regard as "Sgt Pepper " by the Beatles, "Pet Sounds" by the Beach Boys, and "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd. It's among one of the best albums I've ever heard regardless of Genre.

    As someone who tries to find more reason, ideas and explanation from this album after all these years i must admit, you are brought a lot more to the light especially Kendrick referencing the greats and Uncle Sam.
    Great stuff

      Everyone that didn't listen to Kendrick is now going through his discography, even Mister Morale is getting attention and being studied, this is great for fans of the media.

    I remember many listeners of this album not being able to properly process how dope this album was. In my opinion it was like a West Coast OutKast album. Like if Andre 3000 and Big Boi were from the West Coast this is what it would’ve sounded like. Sonically a masterpiece. Lyrically you see why Kendrick is applauded as one of the 🐐 lyricist and artists of all-time!

    It’s worth mentioning that “For Sale?” specifically represents selling one’s soul to the devil. The character “Lucy” promises all these material things, and Kendrick (or the character of “Kendrick”) can acquire them if he simply gives in to temptation and wickedness. The scripture referenced in this video comes from Matthew 4:1-11, but another scripture we can draw some parallels from is found in Mark 8:36; “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
