Kendrick Lamar Releases ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’
**Update, To Pimp A Butterfly is back on iTunes!!
Kendrick Lamar released To Pimp A Butterfly yesterday, earlier than expected! There has been some beef between Top Dawg and Interscope about the early release but I am unsure if this is a media scheme or not. In a day where almost every album is being released as a ‘surprise’ (check Beyonce…Drake…and supposedly Kanye’s next album) it would not surprise me that they did this on purpose. The hype started when Kendricks album was uploaded to iTunes with an all black cover and unnamed tracks a few weeks ago with a March 23rd release date. Then a few weeks later Rolling Stones dropped an article with a little more information and the correct title/cover. So the ‘surprise’ element has been slowly building throughout this process, but is the week early release (and a day after Tupac’s Me Against The World 20th anniversary) planned or not?
