Fuse Listening Party: Our Staff Spins Kendrick Lamar's 'To Pimp a Butterfly'
FUSE TV - Fuse Listening Party: Our Staff Spins Kendrick Lamar's 'To Pimp a Butterfly'
Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly arrived, unannounced, a week early. We all listened—feverishly, passionately, with elation and joyous confusion—and bounced our thoughts around. Stream the album here as you read along, and/or go all the way up and buy it on iTunes.
Zach Dionne: To start, if anyone's pressed for time or focus this morning: Listen, attentively, to the first three songs and have your mind Miseducation of Lauryn Hill–style BLOWN.
Taylor Brown: Kendrick called good kid, m.A.A.d city a short film, but it was such a fleshed-out piece of work that it felt more like a feature. When he dropped "i," it seemed to polarize his fan base, but it was also out of context. It was like watching a sports training montage without the encompassing work. To Pimp a Butterfly feels like something akin to film noir and has tons of character and funky vibrancy to boot. The celebratory tone of the new version of "i" near the end of the album feels apt now that it has purpose as a resolution of sorts. Hopefully the Gaye family doesn't sue over the cowbell, though =/
