Anthony fantano pharrell in my mind12/24/2022 Reminds of Hiii Power with the verse « get up off that slave ship ». While being slave, Kunta never left his dreams of liberty and tries to escape. Hip Hop culture knows about Kunta Kinta : one of 98 survivors over 140 Africans during a trip on a slave ship. What is fascinating is the concept behind Kunta. King Kunta actually illustrates the fact that TPAB is a Black Portraiture. The idea behind sums up as following: exploring the ideas of the production and skill of self-representation, desire, and the exchange of the gaze from the 19th century to the present day in fashion, film, art, and the archives these images, both positive and negative, exposed to define, replicate, and transform the black body. The praise of blackness in here is more obvious than in Wesley Theory claiming « every nigga is star ».For information, Black Portraituresis an artistic movement putting the Black Body in the West on a pedestal. Once again, the success of a young talented and black star can rhyme with excess misusing influence. ![]() Sex put on pedestal, is obviously seen a source of influence and power, « nookie » meaning « vagina ». « a piece of nookie, I need to push me into the limits, doing all for a woman » or « nookie is power, cut on a new chick every night ». If you notice the lyrics in his performance Untitled at the Colbert Report Show. With this jazzy and gospel instrumentation, put in scene as a spoken word/comedy show, it deals humoristically with sex and consumption. « You was my first girlfriend » : a first metaphor for the dream to cherish in this music game, before acting a fool when success eventually hits a gift being consumed. ![]() This track takes us at the caterpillar phase, craving fame, influence and overall success in the music industry, though in a toxic environment: money, sex, consumption, excess… self-destruction. This refers to the conclusion too, with this final poem where Kendrick says caterpillar and butterfly are completely different, but the same person at the same time.īy the way, we might imply a theory in which Kendrick gives himself a mission similar to Jesus Christ’s, considering the number of time he quotes « Nazareth » and by his mission of love and peace, and his fight against Lucy’s temptations. It reveals the blueprint of the album: this explains why much of the songs consist in 2 parts, 2 different movements. By saying « Your horoscope is Gemini, two sides ». This is the introduction to the whole apologue. Other reviewers, such as one of the busiest ones, The Needle Drop Anthony Fantano, certify it’s not a story album like GKMC. This statement might true but remains inexact: more than a just a story, this album is an actual apologue. Although deeply personal and self-centered, the overwhelming sounds and vivid lyrics, as they paint real characters, and allow listeners to identify somehow to the whole story of the protagonist. ![]() Let’s dig it track by track, shall we?įirs of all, let’s say that the unreleased track ‘Untitled’ sums up quite well the ideas packaged in the album. The visions flowing over Kendrick’s mind gets more obvious with this last project. Inspiring, moving, touching… this album, is actually a complex of emotions, ideologies, and cultures. If this was a movie, To Pimp A Butterfly would be the perfect conclusion of a great trilogy, from Section 80 to the Return Of The King (Kunta).
