Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar Releases ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’

Mitch Pfeifer March 16, 2015

**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?

Straight Outta Compton Movie – N.W.A. Trailer

Mitch Pfeifer March 2, 2015

In case you missed the dopest movie trailer I’ve seen in a hot minute (hour might even be the correct wordage here), we have it right here! Check out the trailer to the new N.W.A. Straight Outta Compton movie! The intro to this trailer is straight up legendary with Dr. Dre and Ice Cube reminiscing through their old neighborhoods. This flick looks like it could potentially also have makings to becoming the dopest ‘rap flick’ of all time. I truly hope the social importance behind the group and their name is not lost in the hype for this film. America is in a time where we NEED power players to step up and people to open their eyes. I don’t want to get to political but groups like N.W.A. are so important not just to hip-hop but the culture of this country, and

Hopefully the N.W.A. Straight Outta Compton movie can be more than bad ass film but a spark of conversation within the new generation.

Kendrick Lamar - Blacker The Berry

Kendrick Lamar – Blacker The Berry

Mitch Pfeifer February 9, 2015

Kendrick Lamar comes through with a new BANGER with ‘Blacker The Berry’ and leaves it full of nothing but substance. This track should infiltrate your entire skull. Not only should your head be nodding but you should also open your mind to the negative social constructs still in effect. As always Kendrick brings his thoughts full purpose with offering multiple views of the same themes, while rapping his ass off.
