      @@realstory5818isn’t that just mostly Jazz though?? I don’t think they sampled funk as much on that album. Funk like The chronic or Ice Cube The Predator. Kendrick kinda mixes both of the styles into perfection. A good example would be the G- funk sounding beats like King Kunta or Alright and then the Jazzy instruments that play throughout the songs and albums. Also Untitled Unmastered is also good and Kendrick kinda made a hybrid of a funk, Jazz and trap songs with untitled 02 and 07 😅

    One thing I think Good kid did was set this album up after "real" when his mom said
    "If I don't hear from you by tomorrow, I hope you come back and learn from your mistakes. Come back a man, tell your story to these black and brown kids in Compton. Let 'em know you was just like them, but you still rose from that dark place of violence, becoming a positive person. But when you do make it, give back with your words of encouragement, and that's the best way to give back. To your city... "
    I always felt like To Pimp A Butterfly is him fulfilling that promise.

    Still remember the day I heard this album. The day it was released. I was driving and had to pull over after about the 3rd track because I really couldn’t believe what I was hearing!
    I was a classically trained pianist since age 7. Became a deep hip hop head throughout high school and got into the turntablism/battle DJ circuit. Then got back on the keys and now a full working musician. So when it comes to hip hop and music, my ears are keen af. Hearing TPAB for the first time was as if the a new messiah presented itself to me in music form! lol
    And what happens at the very end of the last track, Mortal Man gave me the biggest of chills! I wish there were a way to listen to this album with fresh ears all over again.

    Brother, I "discovered" your channel approximately a week ago and have devoured several of your videos already. Some of my hip hop idols and favorites you already covered. And I'm currently on a journey starting a vinyl collection at 39 rediscovering music. A word you often use when talking about lyrical content is "dense" and I can't overemphasize how dense your analyses are. Not just as a musician, DJ and hip hop lover, but also as a narrator, storyteller. If there is one place on RUclips that I come to and I feel it's all love, positivity, learning, it's your channel. Keep it up! Oh and on Kendrick. I had section 80 on heavy rotation and then just listened to what followed. But I didn't dive into it and appreciate it. Thanks for making me rediscover Kendricks genius years later holding the LP in my hands. One love!

    The first time i listened to "U" and the album as a whole was right after i had my own mental breakdown. I instantly clicked to the songs and especially when "Alright" started playing, it hit my spirit. As someone whos endured racial injustice, slander, and was even bullied for my color, TPAB connects so well. Kendrick made an absolute masterpiece making this album, not only for the Black community, but for everyone. We've all been tempted before, but the album really shows how you can get through it despite the contradicting issues that is our reailty.

    mortal man is one of my favorite closing tracks to an album ever, that interview bit with 2pac gave me a sense of motivation i haven’t had since freshman year, kendrick is an artist that transcends generational divides

    As someone who tries to find more reason, ideas and explanation from this album after all these years i must admit, you are brought a lot more to the light especially Kendrick referencing the greats and Uncle Sam.
    Great stuff

    Knew Thundercat was playing bass but didnt know he was singing! I love this album and love it a tad bit more knowing that.

    I kind of find it coincidental that you made a video about Kendrick at this specific time 😂. Always love seeing these videos 👍🏽

      Everyone that didn't listen to Kendrick is now going through his discography, even Mister Morale is getting attention and being studied, this is great for fans of the media.

    Truly one of my favorite albums of all time! I remember listening to it for the first time back in 2015 and it INSTANTLY hit me right where I needed it. I think this is one of those albums that made me want to study and look into music on a deeper level, period. I’m glad so many people are going back and revisiting Kendrick’s albums recently and this video is a great place to start~Looking forward to the next installment 💕

    This is my favorite Kendrick album and highly underrated. When it came out, a lot of people were turned off by it because GKMC had a different vibe and then he came with this.
    People really slept on this album HARD!
