Kendrick Lamar - "To Pimp a Butterfly"

[blackrain]

i put a bullet in the back of the....the back of head of the pollllice!!!!

Yo I've been trying to tell if that's what I've been hearing. That line was not in the original release of "i"

He says that line in the live version. Peep the SNL performance of "I" from last year and he says the line there too

 

[EyeofAsaru]

That's fucking real talk

How can one be super pro black under the contractual control of jews?(interscope records)...jimmy and dre dont give two fucks about no black upliftment...you got interviews with dre's former co workers saying dre told them he would sell his soul to the devil and that he wants to be white...they simply allowed Kendrick to release his lil afrocentric album because he puts numbers on the board..its business...you think they really would of allowed Kendrick to release this album talking about some DEEP pro black shit..hell no! Some of yall have calcified pineal glands therefore cannot see beyond the candy coated layers..

That's why I give it to stic and M-1(dead prez)..them dudes really said fuck that Jew media machine and did their own thing..i give to immortal technique..i give it to Paris..i give it to chuck d..i give it to ice cube(to a extent)..and many more who deattached themselves from the machine

Shout out to my nigga..

James Fauntleroy of Cocaine 80's

Nas Nigger album was more pro black,metaphysical,insightful etc..you heard nas even rapping about ufos and ancient Caucasians being cannibals

I love kendricks new album but people really need to stop gassing it like its the deepest piece of work out there...kendricks music intellectually speaking is on a kindergarten level in the "rabbit hole"

Expound on who Lucifer is mr Lamar... complexion DOES mean something..melanin has powers..explain why Wesley got audited..

Kendrick shows classic Gemini traits of superficial deepness..geminis are great magical orators but they themselves can sometimes be vain..that control verse was narcissistic vanity at its finest...he has supreme skills in delivery but he needs more substance..he still has room for more growth

He sounds deep to the uninitiated

Nas Nigger album was more pro black ..

The NIGGER Tape >>

Which was the original album but Def Jam screwed up with label politics. ..

NaS dropped it as a Mixtape.

And that is HIS only official Mixtape as a solo artiste he released himself

 

[JonnyRoccIT]

Work in progress...might do a Series of Paintings w/ my Homie on several topics within this album .

I agree..the tape was raw as hell..

Nas was bugged out on that shit..

"my incense smoke turned into a ghost"

Lol..classic!

Pro Black is concerned with the social well welfare of the black community. Supporting and promoting institutions to educate, fight racism and inequality. Afrocentrism is reclaiming of cultural heritage. These are not semantics.

I'm not saying this album should be on some RBG shit because is was very good for what it is. Lets just not pretend that this was a political album.

You can't separate the two. Black consciousness is part of Black Power. How can you have a powerful black society with no foundation?

Yeah...when we finish, we'll get some Prints made .

Hopefully we'll do like a painting of each song or various scenarios from the album .

Yet people still do separate the two..they activate black consciousness on a individual level yet do not do the rest of the work as a group to achieve true black power

That's not a separation. That's a in-completion. They need to continue the process. You have to start somewhere and in all honesty most conscious black folks that i know are all about building unless they selling you a line. Part of that consciousness is to develop an awareness of your power and you can't possibly be fully aware unless you apply it.

This is classic straw man shit ...lol ...if this nigga was running around saying I'm the deepest philosopher in all of mandkind look at me look at me I'm so deep ...you would have a valid criticism in regards to the music ..I don't think he portrays himself as this at all ..that's just some internalized shit your projecting based on what this random nigga or that random nigga is saying about the music ...to criticize his message and it's delivery because of what some other motherfucka interprets about him is pretty silly and ironically hollow tbh

There's nothing overtly superficial in these themes ..I think the questions your asking to be answered are pretty much patently implied ...it's rather obvious who the "lucifer" character is meant to personify I mean why do you think theres a decrepit white regan knockoff looking muthafucka dead on the front cover of the album?? Lol ...it's clearly stated why Wesley was hounded and while I can understand your point in regards to expounding on the power of melanin I think it's also reasonable to understand that some of these topics are more easily digested and understood to particular audiences when not delivered in an overly maticulous fashion ...the record ..i believe ..is again targeting a different audience than a person who listens to shit like immortal technique and killah priest and lupe fiasco all day ...there ain't nothing wrong with dropping some shit that's accessible ..yea of course there are other artist that obviously go more in depth about some of the shit that he's talking about ..but.. there's also a reason those other artists fanbases have only reached "cult" status instead of connecting with the mases

I respect your perception...however its 2015 and we are in a age of information...when is it going to be a proper time for the masses to receive more esoteric information in the music?..When aliens land in front of your face and tell you personally that in the grand scheme of things these "race wars" are only distractions to what's really going on?..There are krazy things happening on this planet that people need to be informed of and get prepared to experience..Black people are generally walking around with toxic melanin not conscious of their higher selves..Instead of regurgitating the same ol illusions of black power with Christian(a slavery relegion which is so antiblack)themes, Kendrick should be pushing the envelope further like ab soul did..Ab soul is more in tune with what's really happening these days and what really matters...Niggas are on this super black power trip yet are still employed by Jews

Maybe it is the "masses" who need to step their game up..

Why play like you really challenging ppls mind? Nigga just go ahead and REALLY challenge ppls perceptions like Nas did

It used to be a time when deeper spirituality and topics were "Accessible"..ppl have just been dumbed down by what they think they want

I mean bro ..I feel what your saying but I just think trying to force some higher enlightenment down people's throat is an uphill damn near losing battle ..I mean for instance your brining up Ab-Soul ...dog ...that nigga could barely get a release date for his album had to threaten to leak the shit before anything moved ...and that nigga is independent ...you feel what I'm saying?

I think the problem for them type of artist is that you kind of run the risk of making your music in a sense only palatable or enticing to the alreasy devoted congregation instead of bringing in new converts ...like peep what your saying ...so ..you want people to be more exposed to the esoteric information of the universe ..ok cool... but bruh ..do you really expect a nigga who ain't even conciencious to the way their country is set up or the their city or their community has been established to really be able to understand where your coming from if you were just dropping that shit on them out the blue? I'm saying bro if we're in a world of sleeping zombies it probably would better to wake them niggas back up before you can guide them to any light ..and just the fact of making conciousness and awareness qualities that are appreciated once again in the mainstream is needed before you get anywhere else IMO
