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.
