To Pimp a Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar ·2015

"The Kendrick album, which is maybe my favorite album of the year. It's just as eccentric and wild as like free jazz in parts, but then the hooks and it's got West Coast g-funk and George Clinton and Gary Bartz and all these things that I love. And then put together with these just incredibly fucking vivid, heart-wrenching lyrics."
