Breaking the global record for streams in a single day, nearly 10 million people around the world tuned in to hear Kendrick Lamar's sophomore album in the hours after its release. To Pimp a Butterfly was widely hailed as an instant classic, garnering laudatory album reviews, many awards, and even a canonized place in Harvard's W. E. B. Du Bois archive. Why did this strangely compelling record stimulate the emotions and imaginations of listeners? This book takes a deep dive into the sounds, images, and lyrics of To Pimp a Butterfly to suggest that Kendrick appeals to the psyche of a nation in crisis and embraces the development of a radical political conscience. Kendrick breathes fresh life into the Black musical protest tradition and cultivates a platform for loving resistance. Combining funk, jazz, and spoken word, To Pimp a Butterfly's expansive sonic and lyrical geography brings a high level of innovation to rap music. More importantly, Kendrick's introspective and philosophical songs compel us to believe in a future where, perhaps, we gon' be alright.

"This book dives into the sounds, images, and lyrics of To Pimp a Butterfly to suggest that Kendrick appeals to the psyche of a nation in crisis and embraces the development of a radical political conscience. Kendrick breathes life into the black musical protest tradition and cultivates a platform for loving resistance. Combining funk, jazz, and spoken word, the expansive sonic and lyrical geography brings a level of innovation to a field dominated by the predictability of trap music. More importantly, Kendrick's introspective and philosophical songs compel us to believe in a future where we gon' be alright!"--

This “smart, confident, and necessary” (Shea Serrano, New York Times bestselling author) first cultural biography of rap superstar and “master of storytelling” (The New Yorker) Kendrick Lamar explores his meteoric rise to fame and his profound impact on a racially fraught America—perfect for fans of Zack O’Malley Greenburg’s Empire State of Mind. Kendrick Lamar is at the top of his game. The thirteen-time Grammy Award-winning rapper is just in his early thirties, but he’s already won the Pulitzer Prize for Music, produced and curated the soundtrack of the megahit film Black Panther, and has been named one of Time’s 100 Influential People. But what’s even more striking about the Compton-born lyricist and performer is how he’s established himself as a formidable adversary of oppression and force for change. Through his confessional poetics, his politically charged anthems, and his radical performances, Lamar has become a beacon of light for countless people. Written by veteran journalist and music critic Marcus J. Moore, this is much more than the first biography of Kendrick Lamar. “It’s an analytical deep dive into the life of that good kid whose m.A.A.d city raised him, and how it sparked a fire within Kendrick Lamar to change history” (Kathy Iandoli, author of Baby Girl) for the better.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Cultural Studies - Black Studies, grade: 1,7, University of Bremen (Department of Language and Literature), course: Cultural Studies, language: English, abstract: The research implies the following: The lyrical content, and the specific use of vernacular, poetics and musical style in Kendrick Lamar's 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly highlight a tripartite development towards an empowered African-American identity in the form of Lamar's personal journey, which is achieved by juxtaposing several binary themes which are comprised of a dual perspective at interrelated subjects which are all tied to the two overarching concepts of protest and empowerment. Therefore, it is the aim of this research paper to investigate Lamar's creative expression in To Pimp a Butterfly with a focus on the vernacular, poetics, and musical style, as well as exploring patterns to be found in the lyrical content and the two spoken word poems of the album representative of 1) interlinked binary relations and 2) tripartite developmental stages towards empowerment. The gathered results are based on a deconstruction of aspects of vernacular, poetics and musical style as well as a break-down of themes in the lyrical content, including the two poems and, subsequently, tying them to a previously developed concept which outlines internal and external protest as fundamental for empowerment, thereby connecting it directly with DuBois's theory of double consciousness and the tripartite yearnings. Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly is a personal journey. It's an embodiment of a personal struggle which resonates an internal conflict brought on by external forces. And, above all, it's a blueprint for a possible path to empowerment. But how is empowerment achieved? While this question will certainly not be answered, attempts will be made to outline Lamar's approach by tying it directly to W.E.B DuBois's theory on double consciousness and even further repre

Kendrick Lamar has established himself at the forefront of contemporary hip-hop culture. Artistically adventurous and socially conscious, he has been unapologetic in using his art form, rap music, to address issues affecting black lives while also exploring subjects fundamental to the human experience, such as religious belief. This book is the first to provide an interdisciplinary academic analysis of the impact of Lamar’s corpus. In doing so, it highlights how Lamar’s music reflects current tensions that are keenly felt when dealing with the subjects of race, religion and politics. Starting with Section 80 and ending with DAMN., this book deals with each of Lamar’s four major projects in turn. A panel of academics, journalists and hip-hop practitioners show how religion, in particular black spiritualties, take a front-and-center role in his work. They also observe that his astute and biting thoughts on race and culture may come from an African American perspective, but many find something familiar in Lamar’s lyrical testimony across great chasms of social and geographical difference. This sophisticated exploration of one of popular culture’s emerging icons reveals a complex and multi faceted engagement with religion, faith, race, art and culture. As such, it will be vital reading for anyone working in religious, African American and hip-hop studies, as well as scholars of music, media and popular culture.

Rap is an important rhetorical expression in that it privileges voices that have been otherwise marginalized. Certainly, a rap album is not a traditional artifact, but it is nonetheless rhetorical and worth studying. In fact, rap scholarship is important because rap as an art form is so easily dismissed by white establishment (Howard, 1999). Following this argument, this paper uses ideological criticism to explore the rhetorical function of Kendrick Lamar’s 2015 rap album To Pimp a Butterfly. Ideological criticism can be seen “as a means of critiquing Western culture itself” (Cyphert, 2001, p. 380). According to Rose (1994), “Rap music is a black [sic] cultural expression that prioritizes black [sic] voices from the margins of urban America” (p. 2). To Pimp a Butterfly is not merely critically and commercially successful, debuting at the number one spot on the Billboard Albums chart (Yenigun, 2015); it is also a rhetorical tool for education, empowerment, and empathy. More than just a rapper, Lamar is elevating the discourse within and outside of the Black community and deserves the scholarly attention he is lacking.1 Lamar has used rap to empower and educate his listeners about the Black American experience. The criticism will show that To Pimp a Butterfly serves as an extension of Kendrick Lamar’s ideology to empower and educate both within and outside of the Black community.

For years Rap artists have met with mixed reception—acclaimed by fans yet largely overlooked by scholars. Focusing on 135 tracks from 56 artists, this survey appraises the artistry of the genre with updates to the traditional methods and measures of musicology. Rap synthesizes rhythmic vocals with complex beats, intonational systems, song structures, orchestration and instrumentalism. The author advances a rethinking of musical notation and challenges the conventional understanding of Rap through analysis of such artists as Eminem, Kanye West and Jean Grae.
