Okay so story time. I ventured out to the grand Canyon Sunday morning. Made pit stops along the way; Columbus Ohio, Indianapolis, St. Louis, got a bomb a--- bacon cheese burger in elk city, Oklahoma, and other minor stops along the way. We swapped driving duties along the way and i got on Sxn80 i think monday morning in the am to find a link and the one that got provided me couldn't download. I was cryin. The album wasn't on the play store at that time. We got to the Grand Canyon I wanna say Wednesday around 3-4pm local time. s--- was flames.

This was our view.



We both waited until this moment to buy the album. Finished downloading and we both pressed play simultaneously.

Best. Music. Experience. Of. My. Life.

When King Kunta came on we both looked at each other in shock

These Walls.

Alright Probably my fav atm if i had to choose)

Momma

Watching the sun set, at the GC, having someone with you listening to the same album for the first time (of this magnitude) at the same time, but also separately, and completely zoning out to everything around us made this, TPAB, the greatest music spectacle ever. Its the best album i've ever heard. Yeah its only been 2 days, but how i heard it, it was magical fam.

Ever song stood out, every song has a memory, every song has a distinct view of what i saw at each particular time.

I wasn't here getting hype with ya'll, but i was there in spirit

Kendrick Lamar - To p---- A Butterfly

Uncle Sam = America
Lucy = Lucifer
Caterpillar = Hood/Old Kendrick
Butterfly = Famous/New Kendrick

Wesleys theory = hood mentality of what they would do with money

For Free? = standing up to America trying to "p----" him

King Kunta = new kendrick (butterfly) askin g why no one cared about hood kendrick (caterpillar)

Institutionalised = New kendrick (butterfly) trying to stay connected to the hood. Lying about stuff he will do similar to he would if he was still in the hood however he is now famous and has lost his hood mentality

These Walls = talks about girls. Final verse talks about the walls of prison cell of the man who killed his friend (Chad)

U = talks about self depression about his family and letting the hood down by leaving them. Then Chad gets killed and depression gets worse chads brother says he hates him and he let him down.
Then goes back to speaking back to himself
"Loving u is complicated"

Alright = realises that him and the hood will be alright through all of it. Contrasts last song "U"

For Sale = Lucy tempting him into going with her. Says all the positive thing she can give him (Materialism)

~~~~~~~~~~2nd part of album~~~~~~~~~~

Momma = goes back to the hood in Compton and is welcomed by everyone but sees the struggle of other people

Hood politics = hood mentality of people in the struggle. How they talk and act

How Much a Dollar cost = kendrick meets a homeless man who asks for a dollar. Kendrick does not give it as he thinks it will be used to snort cocaine. He then realised he was being selfish and stereotyping. Wonders how much a dollar would've meant to that man compared to him (nothing)

Complexion = talks how skin colour shouldn't make a difference. A story of a young slave making friends with a masters child further showing racism is taught.

The Blacker The Berry = contrasts with last song. Racism is still a problem. People are still slaves to the government. Touches on black on black murders, also contrasting about complex

You ain't Gotta lie = in the streets of Compton trying to teach kids not to lie to be stereotypical as it does not impress him they should love themselves as they are

I = opposite of "u". Now performing in Compton for the youth carrying on from last song telling kids to love themselves for them also comes to realisation that he loves himself. End skit/Poem He says "n----s" is used in the wrong context, the word "negus" has been hidden by the history books. Negus = king.

Mortal Man = he know realises he is powerful with his message just like other black leaders so he wants to get out his message to the whole world before the government try to turn everyone against him. Example of this he says "that n----- gave us billie Jean, you think he touched them kids?". We then realise the poem he is reading. Throughout ht the album he is asking himself if he is wasting his powerful voice and is asking 2pac how he dealt with fame.

Conclusion = the whole album is about kendrick feeling guilty about not spreading a message of peace as well as he could. So he tries to reconnect with his roots (this explains the amount of different genres being used through the album
