    Kendrick is the GOAT for many reasons. In a matter of four albums he’s managed to give us:
    A movie (Good Kid Maad city)
    A poem (To Pimp a Butterfly)
    A Pulitzer Prize winning album that serves as a warning and can be played backwards for a different ending (Damn)
    And a stage play (Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers).
    An absolute genius and master of his craft and I can’t recommend diving into all of his albums enough. Each one is truly a masterpiece in its own right.

      Shout out to Flying Lotus on the production for this track! Kendrick apparently sat on many of his beats, but they did release a collab before this album on Lotus’s ‘You’re Dead’. It’s called Never Catch Me, has an amazing video, and is super funky too! (Thundercat and FlyLo have almost always worked closely together throughout both their solo albums), and inspired by Queen though I wouldn’t have guessed!
      It was actually Lotus who finished the production and suggested George, when Kendrick wanted a finishing touch on the song!

    The album just gets better, it really is an experience. Even if you don't do it on camera you should treat yourself to a front to back listen. Going track by track like this is like reading individual chapters of a brilliant novel. It's contiguous. The tracks bleed into each other, contextualize each other, and build into something greater than the sum of the tracks with each other. Take a Saturday. Pull up lyrics. Get out the good headphones. It's worth it.

    I remember buying this as a CD back in 2015, I was just a broke college kid who was in love with Hip Hop and a big fan of Kendrick. I felt like at the time he was extremely underrated and as someone who loves lyrics, I genuinely thought he was on his way of becoming the greatest of our generation.
    When I played the CD in my car for the first time driving and I honestly I was like holy shit this is so different, I was in love with it but hated how people received it. Calling it boring or weird at the time and I felt alone.
    My personal favorites are institutionalized and Momma.
    That fucking beat change and instrumental in institutionalized is soooooo fucking amazing Jesus Christ
    And momma is just so nostalgic, it’s humbling and the outro is one of my favorites.
    The “I know everything” scheme and ending it with “until I realized I didn’t know shit.. the day I came home”
    AND the outro when he’s talking about looking for happiness and trying to find it in everything
    Idk why but it gave me like a lump in my throat.
    Looking back at it now, in a way I’m so happy that people are realizing how amazing it is and he’s getting his flowers.
    Also I’m saying this here and now, the exact same reception is happening to Mr. Morale. But in 5 years when kids grow up and people mature, they’re going to listen and realize how therapeutic that record is.

You hit the nail on the head - the production quality, the grooves, the melodic flow and rhythmic content, every member of the band playing super tight. Whether or not you make a video of it, please listen to the whole album! The way Kendrick slowly reveals threads of the overall themes of discovering himself is mind blowing. There are colleges that teach courses on “To Pimp a Butterfly” because of how deep it goes. You won’t regret it!

When I tell you I played this album front to back 300 times, you better know it's the truth. The poetry teacher at my school even had multiple classes breaking this album down. For me, the production was the main appeal, but this is the first album that made me care about rap lyrics (and I'm a young black guy from the hood).

    I just want to remind everyone that Taylor Swift’s 1989 album won album of the year in that years Grammy over TPAB. At the time it was probably the politically correct album to pick because telling all Americans to listen to TPAB at the time was probably seen as taboo or just too much. America wasn’t ready for this album and neither was the Grammys. Looking back now, 1989 is just another Bed bath and beyond nostalgia album while TPAB is a piece of history, a piece of musicianship that is worth being remembered in museums and taught in contemporary history.

      You're underselling 1989 -- it really is a modern classic, regardless of whether it's our particular taste or whether it's her best (it isn't) -- but yes, it's clearly the wrong choice for that year. Far from the worst choice the Grammys have ever made, but wrong nonetheless.

    Watching this just gave this album a whole life to me. I’ve already heard it a hundred times but like you said, there’s always something new to grasp and I love to see your love for the details and cohesiveness of this song. 10/10

    Saw George and P-funk on Beale Street in Memphis about 3 years ago. one of my favorite shows i've ever been to.

    So so glad you checked this out, even just to get a glimpse of Kendrick Lamar’s genius. If you don’t plan on reviewing any more from this album DEFINITELY give it a full listen when you have time. It masterful piece of conceptual art, super funky, incredibly powerful, with incredible flows and rhyming. Good Kid Mad City is another great rap album by him, even more conceptual, but is more of a commercial rap sound. Glad you checked this out and hope you do more studio recordings!

    I'm so glad you found this song! I think in a few days time you'll know why people call this one of the best albums of all time. I love when you get excited about a song I love, because I know I'm gonna learn more about it

    My favorite fact is that the intro monologue is Josef Leimberg. He was playing trumpet on songs. Kendrick heard his voice and said, "I need that on my album." A crazy happy accident.

    One of my favorite albums of all time. Been a huge Hip-Hop head since I was a kid. When TPAB came out I was gobsmacked by it's greatness. Had it on loop for weeks and weeks. Still go back to often.
