The highly anticipated album from Kendrick Lamar, To Pimp A Butterfly, has a cinematic way of dealing with its themes, networking a variety of dramas and a variety of characters. Lamar has an overarching mood of chaos and wryness, seemingly all at once sometimes, but underneath the chaos, there is the narrative of trying to avoid the sultry manifestation of the devil, Lucy as well as saying his fame has not helped his family at home in the track “u”. Behind the tragedy shown throughout the album, it is a celebration to continue living no matter what.
