Well… that song was recorded by the two in 2010, so he probably wasn’t aware at the time. He did record a verse for ‘Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1’ that didn’t make it onto the album either.
A lot of people don't realize that Kendrick didn't have inspiration to start a new project for a long time. That's what makes this album so great. It wasn't years in the making. He was enjoying his tour and the work from GKMC
nah, him and Sounwave have both said they were working on this for 2-3 years. Sounwave says Kendrick never stopped working. one of the songs on the album was rmade during the yeezus tour
JDominguez they didn't know where they were going with it for a long time know. Kendrick was shouting out GKMC before Section.80 dropped when it was still called Good Kid In a Mad City
He's such a deep and introspective person, kinda reminds me of like a modern day Roger Waters - that's why he's able to write these concept albums which keep it real and are touching on an emotional level as well as being seriously satisfying on an artistic level
I kinda feel bad for Kendrick Because he has to answer the same questions for the next couple months over and over again.Like can't the interviewers just look it up just like we do.
It isn't for the interviewers, its for the listeners. They answers questions to clarify or inform the public of what means what. Gets repetitive, yeah, but all artists do this when they drop an album.
Mr Sir yeah bro he wrote it the day before he performed it cuz he didn't want to perform any of the songs that he wrote for his album i was mind blown too
Hands down...best Hiphop album of the year!!! I thought J-Cloe had a good one but it does not have the Spiritual essence and socially conscious rhythm that haunts and tugs at my soul. This album says and addresses all the things that need to be said of the time and space of today.
+Malamute You must be crazy, Travis Scott may have the views because of "Antidote" but he's as good as fucking young thug and the rest of them non rapping ass niggas. All them can't even touch Kendrick on lyrics and truth. King Kendrick all day
i hated to pimp a butterfly when i first herd it. i was def numb to the sound it had and i wanted to hear the current "Hip Pop" kinda sound...but then when i listened to it later I LOVEEEEEEEEED it so much. this album is so powerful. Truly a great album....front to back.
Aaron Black i see what you getting at but kendrick really wouldve named it 2 Pimp A Caterpillar i really doubt he wouldve left it as To Pimp A Caterpillar(Tpac lol kendrick aint dumb)
Dude, I like Kendrick Lamar's voice dude. He also sounds very intelligent. I love how he expands on thinking outside the box when rapping & talking about the events of the world today.
His new album is to real for mainstream..ofcourse its not going to blow up how most of us think it is non the less will stay in the mainstream due to his humble character. Kng knt
I've listened to all of KL's albums and they are just amazing. To pimp a butterfly is the best of all of them. Then good kid, Maad city, then section 80 last.
I’m a black black guy that came from a family of brown and blue eyes. My wife is white/black with brown and green eyes in her family. My 3 kids have Hazel, Brown, and Blue eyes, in that order. As someone coming from strong black roots, I can attest, “we are all one people.” And one day, in the future (hopefully not too far in the future), there will be only one race, the human race.
Kendrick is seriously next level... Dude is connected to a universal consciousness a lot of people only dip their toes into a few times in their life.. Dude is wicked smart.
pizaz1001 nah bruh i think they were actually just trying to be nice. They dont doubt what Kendrick can do, thats a dangerous game. I think they genuinely just curious bout what its like to have a person like kendrick in front of you just to speak with. That shitd be crazy. Especially talking about these topics with him straight up
dirt rain Yeah but that's his decision, he didn't think he would like it on this since it is coherent with this album but he could release it on a mixtape in the future.
Kendrick sees himself as the spirtual descendant or successor of Shakur, just like a Butterfly is in someway to a Caterpillar.. So it was never supposed to be "to pimp a caterpillar" tupac is passed. now it's time for the butterfly (Kendrick)
Yes but 'Tu Pimp a Caterpillar' is a stretch considering Tu isn't a word and when abbreviated it would spell TPAC not TuPAC. Good thing Kendrick changed it though
I was really anticipating the song untitled he did on Colbert one it was really good and there was a powerful message behind it also tying in with blacker the berry and i nd it was a new Kendrick Lamar with the funk and soul vibe and now thinking about the album it really tied in good with To A Pimp A Butterfly and the story guess while never hear it within the album would of been good tho 😔😕
Here is to hoping that in the future he releases an official album with all the bits and pieces of songs (colbert untitled, pyrex, temptation, etc) that did not make it
lmao at dude saying kanye sucks. He's been better than kendrick GKMC was cool and all but I ain't even playing that shit no more everyone still plays kanye
A Kendrick an cole album at the peak of both their careers would just finish the entire world honestly the only goated thing to happen in the shithole of a year, probably won’t happen this year but lemme dream man 😓
Damn...when he said she needs me is the first song he had on the radio I felt like a boss cuz I remember hearing that of OD so I've been on kdot since the jump
