Kendrick Lamar: How To Pimp A Butterfly

In March 2015, Lamar released his third album, title "To Pimp a Butterfly."  TBAP debuted at No. 1 selling 324,000 in it's first week giving Kendrick Lamar his first No. 1 on the charts. TBAP is a follow-up to Lamar's platinum selling, multi-Grammy Award nominated, critically acclaimed major-label debut, good kid maad city. We all patently waited to see what the lyrical genius was going to drop next.

To Pimp A Butterfly sends a great message to the black community while showcasing Lamar's lyrical skills. Although there is a positive message sent this album felt like it is missing something. The selection over the Jazzy tunes didn't work for me. I did manage to enjoy a few songs from this album. I must say I was expecting a much greater album from Kendrick Lamar. I give Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp
a Butterfly" 2.5/5 Mics

Recommended Tracks "Momma" and "Alright
