Product Details
Rooted in the tradition of politically charged Black American music, from Gil Scott-Heron to Miles Davis to Parliament-Funkadelic, *To Pimp a Butterfly* arrived in March 2015 as a direct conversation with that lineage. Kendrick wove a continuous spoken-word poem throughout the album that culminates in an imagined dialogue with Tupac Shakur, using archival audio from a 1994 interview.
