    I looked it up and this what I found if it means anything ; "King Kunta" is a funky stomper where Lamar assumes the role of the titular slave in Roots.

    Pharrell said “That song is so unapologetically black and AMAZING,”

    And Scott Vener tweeted a lot about it

    Paul rosenberg heard a few tracks and the one that he said was unbelievable was king kunta. Hype started from there, then a bevy of tweets saying pharrell said it was amazing etc.

    Kunta Kinte was also a slave, and there's quite a lot of stories about him. He's pretty famous in Europe, the track is most likely about slavery and/or about him. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunta_Kinte

    I thought it was pretty interesting that Kendrick mentioned Kinte Kunta in Ab-Soul's song Illuminate in 2012

    I am ruler, I am highness, the Prince Zamunda,
    I am ruler, I am the s--- like what the prune does
    Black on black tint like Kinta Kunta,
    black is back b----, I'm kin to coup de
    black on black crime resent the shooter,
    blat-blat-blat, I intend to mute you
