Political rap free jazz project as the culmination of Mr. Lamar's career

George Clinton had once made years ago a song that was called "Paint the White House black". Now he is a guest feature on the new album Kendrick Lamar, equal to Track 1 and given him on a Flying Lotus Beat a P-Funk beginning, when we would hear an Ice Cube Album of 93 or Chronic 2015. "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee was now to "Pimp To a Butterfly" by Kendrick Lamar. The cover indicates the dichotomy of subject: Compton Mindset on one - the White House and political influence (and responsibility) on the other side. The soundtrack jazzy soulful, somewhat experimental, but still 'westcoastiger as Section 80 and good kid Maad City: Terrace Martin, Flying Lotus, Sounwave - the production team ensures musicality with lively saxophones, warm bass, keys and drums like a jazz album , Genial. "To Pimp a Butterfly" is almost good kid Maad City Part 2 - the conclusion, the product of the metamorphosis of the artist. And now is the butterfly be "pimped", that is, from the music industry in the template black rappers are pressed. But not with Kendrick: With acrobatic flows breakneck vocal exercises and a pictorial language to Kendrick fights against precisely this trend. And makes use of many documents from the literature or the music business. The song "How Much a dollar cost" recalls Dostoevsky's Grand Inquisitor, the Acapella outro to the song "I" (extended) cited the "Negus" definition of YC the Cynic. The complexity of the album's flow technically, musically and content impressive - beyond the boundaries of rap out. And the message is self-critical, provocative and sometimes politically incorrect - at first listen. After further analysis, however, is the realization that we are not only dealing with one of the best rap albums of the decade, but also with a comprehensive social analysis and criticism of the Black community. Chapeau Kendrick!
