In the aftermath of Supreme's attack, Dream, Camryn, and Camille try to put the pieces back together. Dream is still on a journey to free herself from the clutches of Supreme. As the truth about Bronx's paternity is revealed, Dream not only has to fight to free herself from Supreme, but she becomes enthralled in a feud with her own parents. If it were not for the support of Camryn and Camille, Dream would surely crumble under the pressure. Camille has come to realizations of her own. Always the supportive friend and sister, she is on a path of self-discovery and in search of true love. Shouldering the problems of her loved ones takes a toll on her causing Camille to become withdrawn much to the bewilderment of Camryn and Dream. They look to her for support and when they don't get it, they realize something is really wrong and don't know how to fix it. Camryn is stuck in between taking a chance on love and seeking revenge. She wants to love Damion, but her past and her head get in her way. Even though Damion accepts her for who she is and sees the world of potential in her, Camryn can't seem to see the same potential in herself. When Supreme tries to snatch her chance at a normal life away from her, it sends her on a war path. Camille will stop at nothing to make sure Supreme pays for his crimes against her, Damion, and Dream.

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 “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.

Refiguring black culture and religion beyond conventional accounts, New Black Godz interrogates and rethinks problems and tropes within the fields of religious and Africana studies. Using the expressive culture of hip hop and critical theory to provide analytical and conceptual frameworks, Monica Miller redefines the very notion of black religion, which is recast as identity formation. New Black Godz considers the god-like status of iconic cultural figures such as Beyonce Knowles, Oprah Winfrey and Kanye West, who “know where to go” to escape the United States and its racism. In contrast, Monica Miller argues that those with “nowhere to go”, become a different sort of “god” through identity-based sacrifice: Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Eric Garner and countless others, from those well-known to the not-yet known, remain the permanent black and brown underclass in America and around the world. Using textual and ethnographic studies in New York, Philadelphia, London, Paris, Germany and Switzerland, New Black Godz is a definitive contribution to ongoing debates about the complex and varied contours of African-American religious and political life in the 21st century.

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.

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.
