11/30/2022 0 Comments Kendrick lamar pimp a butterfly cover![]() ![]() ![]() You really needed 4 comments to respond to me? Damn. Also people keep talking about the overall message of Kendrick’s album? What is that message? Since its so well done and developed so incredibly then tell me exactly what is he album’s message? That ALL the songs add onto that leads to one singular point? Because thats what your implying when you say “each song is purposeful towards the overall message”? What is the message? The only thing that would be said is that the album is automatically a classic and a groundbreaking album PERIOD. I don’t think Kendrick could make a MURAL or make a BLUR MY HANDS or a PRISONER 1&2 or a BODY OF WORK or a LITTEL DEATH or a DELIVER or a MADONNA or a TRON… Kendrick’s album is unapologetically black and Lupe’s album is unapologetically artistic however MY POINT IS IF TETSUO AND YOUTH WAS A KENDRICK ALBUM? THERE WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY ZERO COMPLAINTS ABOUT ANYTHING ON THE ALBUM. You don’t think Lupe can tie songs together or do spoken word or sing and or rap over jazz and neo soul beats? fine but what he can do IS RAP HIS ASS OFF WITH THE INTELLECT OF A HIP HOP NUCLEAR SCIENTIST. Where did I say this was Lupe’s best album? Don’t create a false argument to challenge. It’s unapologetically black, both in terms of the content and the music and each song is purposeful towards that overall message. Live instrumentation is peppered throughout the album and the themes of each song which go from yearning for success to the struggle of losing yourself in that success are consistent throughout. funk, g-funk, and hip hop in a way that sound cohesive. Kendrick’s album on the other hand is a unique blend of classic black music: jazz, soul, neo-soul. There’s not much that’s particularly inventive or innovative on it, but it’s good. You could ostensibly say that there will be dickriders that will support Kendrick no matter what, but what’s the point of making that argument?Īll it seems to want to do is diminish Kendrick’s achievement and elevate Lupe’s work. If your point is that Kendrick is so popular that if he did X album people would like it, then sure, i guess that’s true. I don’t think he could have tied the album and songs together as well, I don’t think he has the versatility of Kendrick (spoken word, singing, rapping from different perspectives) and I don’t think he communicates his social justice message without coming across as preachy. He may share some of the same sentiments as Kendrick and he may be lyrically on par with him, but I don’t think musically he could have crafted this. It’s a little all over the place.Īnd, no shots at Lupe, but he simply could not have made “To Pimp a Butterfly”. “Blur My Hands” and “Dots and Lines” are mad poppy. Mural is that shit, but the album is not his best. ![]()
