Much of that is due to the exalted nature of Lamar’s last effort, good kid M.A.A.D. Few records enjoy the feverish anticipation that surrounds this one.
Undoubtedly, there’s a lot riding on this album. Besides, there’s another reason I’ve written this pompous, long-winded, and (hopefully somewhat) prophetic album review: To Pimp a Butterfly might very well be the first in a long line of stellar hip-hop releases this year. But let’s be honest, to predict that Kendrick Lamar will release good music is a pretty safe bet. Sure, there’s slim a chance I might regret those words. I know it might sound impossible, but trust me, this will be an amazing album.Įditors Note: Listen to Kendrick Lamar’s latest track “King Kunta” below. However, this is no typical record and I assure you that even though I’ve never heard it I’m nevertheless quite certain of its merits-in case you’re wondering, they’re vast and mighty. Nor under normal circumstances could I think of a more foolhardy endeavor. That said, I don’t make a habit of reviewing albums I’ve never heard. I couldn’t possibly fault you for questioning my credibility here. (I’ll do my best.) But before we get into that, I should probably give you a little background into why this album is important.įirst of all, To Pimp a Butterfly isn’t even out yet and virtually no one, including yours truly, has heard it. So yeah, to write a review at this point is kind of silly. Who cares, right? Frankly, it’s not much of an accomplishment unless I plan on saying something special. Not to toot my own horn or anything but this is probably the world’s first review of Kendrick Lamar’s awesomely-titled new album, To Pimp a Butterfly.
