It actually is impressive how you catch bars on your first listen! Can’t wait to watch your journey!
To Pimp A Butterfly is the best album ever made, I’m really excited to see you experience it if you get to it🙏
No make up is silly, I think kendrick might even have kinda aknowledged that
I don't think it's silly at all. It's a little corny and dated maybe but it's more nuanced than people give it credit. It doesn't just say makeup is bad, go natural, it says "I love your make-up but I would like to see you without it" you can disagree with that sentiment but I wouldn't dismiss it entirely. With the ending about the black eye it seems to be the prelude to the story he tells about Keisha and the abuse she's suffering. The make up is the vice in a similar way alcohol and drugs are to mask the real you (he says you ain't gotta get drunk to have fun) It's probably not the best comparison but I see what he was going for. The feature is very early 2010s though lol I think he did stuff with Drake too.
This is going to be a crazy journey, every single one of these albums is an evolution, but looking back at this now, it's CRAZY to think that this is typically his lowest rated record. That's the testament to just how incredible of an artist that Kendrick is. To Pimp A Butterfly is going to be a really fun one to watch you breakdown, it's one of the most densely packed masterpieces out there lyrically and sonically, but the journey of getting there still has the rest of Section 80 and Good Kid, M.A.A.D City, which are legendary in their own rights. I HIGHLY recommend listening to The Heart series interspersed with the order of these albums this will be important in GNX his most recent record. Usually The Heart releases came out right before the album drop. The Heart Part 1 came out before his mixtape Overly Dedicated. The Heart Part 2 was track 1 on Overly Dedicated. The Heart Part 3 was released 2 days before Good Kid, M.A.A.D City The Heart Part 4 was released about a month before DAMN The Heart Part 5 was released a week before Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers heart pt. 6 is track 10 in GNX
Man I can't wait till you get to TO Pimp a Butterfly, in my opinion his most narrative driven and political album, each song is point in his career, the enthusiasm of getting signed, losing your identity and roots, then finding it again and being at peace with yourself. A masterpiece!!
Love how you break down and listen to the music and lyrics. Btw the reason he says "to be continued 11" is because Kiesha's song was originally track 11. But one of the songs that used to be on this album called "Spiteful Chant" was taken out so that's why it is now shows Kiesha's song as track 10. But yes Kiesha's song was the continuation of the no make up story. It was all Kiesha.
Side Note : J Cole produced the song Hiiipower If you like Kendrick you will also love these albums introspective Albums Great storytellers JCole-2014 forest hills Drive Big Krit - 4eva is a mighty long time Rapsody- Laila’s Wisdom Nipsey Hussle- Victory Lap Lupe Fiasco- Drill Music in Zion / Samurai Nas- king’s Disease trilogy/ magic trilogy Common- Be / Finding Forever / The auditorium vol 1
I am here just for your Kendrick journey,he is a truly once in a generation artist,in my opinion easily top5 in music history. This journey will be a great watch. :)
just want to say that the work and the transparency is very appreciated, your reactions seem genuine and your analysises are pretty spot on! It was actually kinda crazy watching your video on sing about me (wild starting point for kendricks music btw) and seeing how much you picked up as a first time listener with little to no context 😂 looking forward to the next parts, Section 80 is a really strong independent debut with lots of gems in it, but its not as refined as kendricks future albums, both musically and conceptually imo
Part 1 of 4?? Oh we eating with the analysis lol. Appreciate the work!
