__________ 'Essential reading' Rolling Stone 'A must read. The best
bit of literature currently out there on Kendrick Lamar' VICE
__________ Kendrick Lamar is at the top of his game. He has been
described as perceptive, philosophical, unapologetic, fearless, and
an innovative storyteller whose body of work has been compared to
James Joyce and James Baldwin. He is a visionary who will go down
as history as one of the most important artists of all time. But
what's so striking about Kendrick Lamar, aside from his impressive
accolades, is how he's effectively established himself as a
formidable opponent of oppression, a force for change. Through his
confessional poetics, his politically charged anthems, and his
radical performances, Lamar has become a beacon of light for many
people in America. The Butterfly Effect not only Lamar's powerful
impact on music but also on our current society, especially under
the weight of police brutality, divisive politics, and social
injustice. This is the extraordinary, triumphant story of a modern
lyrical prophet and an American icon who has given hope to those
buckling under the weight of systemic oppression, reminding
everyone that through it all, "we gon' be alright". __________ 'By
the end of listening to his first full album, I felt like I knew
everything about him. He brings you into his world with his lyrics
in a way that really paints a clear picture' Eminem 'I love
everything about his music. I can literally listen to his music and
become a kid growing up with all the struggles in the inner city,
but at the same time [learn] all the lessons it taught that we use
as men today.' Lebron James 'Kendrick Lamar understands and employs
blues, jazz, and soul in his music, which makes it startling. His
work is more than merely brilliant; it is magic' Toni Morrison
'Lamar is a man living on a real and metaphorical peak, with one
eye trained on the heavens, the other searching for stories in the
valley below' Guardian
