      literally.
      their is a softness to his face.
      his stare is deep and a little guarded.his voice draws you in. his mind seems to be restless behind his eyes.

      I was never a fan of rap because I really like deeper lyrics, but I kept getting recommendations to listen to Kendrick Lamar and i listened to a song or two and wasn't a fan. So I tried again and didn't like it. The other night i was laying in bed and said "alright I'm gonna try again" To Pimp A Butterfly is an incredible and genius album.

      And King Kunta was written from the perspective of the caterpillar, talented but using his influence for selfish motives, not to better his community. This is where most MCs stop. They get fame, and continue to brag about fame, all the while being pimped by the industry. He's a King, yes, but still enslaved like Kunta.

    Kendrick Lamar is not overrated, he is certainly not a sell out nor did he get on his knees to get to where he is. Kendrick i a one in a trillion, he managed to get through the industry without selling out and without falling into temptation of greed, lust, and selfishness. I highly respect Kendrick Lamar because his verses are his actual thoughts and his state of mind. I respect him because he is a man of the Lord. He even made me realize that I need more faith and I feel incredible. Religion or not Kendrick Lamar knows right and wrong and he fights for whats right and he fights for what he believes in. He is a descendant of Tupac. Tupac died speaking the truth and that is why i highly respect Tupac. The same is being done with Kendrick. He even directly asked us, the fans, if something tragic happens, will we still believe in him? Kendrick is on another level than the average rapper that talks about money hoes and drugs. Kendrick speaks the truth and managed to pull it out amazingly. Kendrick is a disciple and he is spreading positivity to the streets, and that is the very reason why he is the number one MC of this era.

      The music choice made the record even more powerful because he used black music. Everyone complains that white people stole black music, but he took it back on this one.

I am so happy that I discovered him, he is a genius, and one of the greatest artist of this generation. I am now a huge fan, and I was blessed to see him live twice this year. If you are a Kendrick fan and have not seen him live, I highly recommend you do so, he is one of the greatest performers I have ever seen.

    When I first heard the title of the album, "To Pimp A Butterfly," I immediately thought about "To Kill A Mocking Bird." Either way, it's such a great concept--the frailty of a caterpillar vs the beautiful uncertainty of a butterfly: his music is a reflection of the social condition. Any artist that spends time creating a relationship with his album allows us to enter it with the same energy. It's not about making a hit song, it's about making body of work.
    I mentioned that in my album review video, and it feels great to see Kendrick express exactly what he wanted to convey on his album.

    I love that, though he's a christian artist, Kendrick has the humility not to act as though he's without sin and doesn't put on a "holier than thou" facade, and that he makes music about the world and the people in it, rather than just more safe devotional songs marketed towards an audience pressured into feeling like bad christians for liking anything but a particular type of music, and that grows more fickle day by day. Kendrick's music is what good christian music should be, an analysis of the world an artist sees coloured by their belief in and relationship with God, rather than just another bland praise song. Rolling Stone called him the most influential rapper of our generation, and I'm not about to disagree with that.

      Is he really just that? A "christian" making what "good christian music should be"?
      Maybe he is on a spiritual path, doing work within and searching for knowledge.

    I didn't know people were ok with ghost writers. i'm not at all. I remember being told diddy admitted to having a ghost writer, and I lost all lyrical respect for him and never took him seriously as an MC again. Hip-Hop is all about individuality and what you bring to a verse with your voice and POV. Using a ghost writer completely cuts that out and makes your lyrics insincere to me. I need to hear a unique voice and a unique perspective

    I think the very fact that Kendrick is getting an interview to talk about his inspirations and meanings within his music is a testament to the fact that this dude is on another level. I don't see quality interviews with this type of dialogue for regular 'rappers.'
    I'm so glad to see this dude get this type of credit. Kendrick has taken rap and hip hop to a place that hasn't been reached before. At least not to the masses. I'm into this culture, but I have to admit I didn't think it would be a rap album that blessed so many peeps with some serious, serious intellectual and spiritual thoughts and direction.
