  • To pimp a butterfly poem by Kendrick Lamar
    "I remember you was conflicted
    Misusing your influence
    Sometimes I did the same
    Abusing my power, full of resentment
    Resentment that turned into a deep depression
    Found myself screaming in the hotel room
    I didn’t wanna self destruct
    The evils of Lucy was all around me
    So I went running for answers
    Until I came home
    But that didn’t stop survivor’s guilt
    Going back and forth trying to convince myself the stripes I earned
    Or maybe how A-1 my foundation was
    But while my loved ones was fighting the continuous war back in the city
    I was entering a new one
    A war that was based on apartheid and discrimination
    Made me wanna go back to the city and tell the homies what I learned
    The word was respect
    Just because you wore a different gang color than mine's
    Doesn’t mean I can’t respect you as a black man
    Forgetting all the pain and hurt we caused each other in these streets
    If I respect you, we unify and stop the enemy from killing us
    But I don’t know, I’m no mortal man
    Maybe I’m just another nigga"

    When J. Cole remembered that he was conflicted, misusing his influence, sometimes Drake did the same. Abusing his power full of resentment. The resentment that turned into a deep depression. He could be finding himself screaming in a hotel room. But now he self destructed. Because the evils of Aubrey was all around him. So now he went running for answers…

      Bruno. TPAB isn’t exactly a hip hop album, it’s a mix of different sounds (funk, jazz, hip hop, soul n some others) so I wouldn’t define it to be just a hip hop album, but it’s one of the greatest albums i’ve had the pleasure to listen to.
