Update: 2020-08-31
Description
Beginning with the premise that Kendrick Lamar “embraces music as a medium for storytelling,” Sharon Ahn tells the story of his song, “The Art of Peer Pressure.” With deft lyrical and sonic analysis that moves chronologically through Lamar’s piece, Sharon parses the artist’s multiple positions in the song’s narrative, counterposing what she calls his “self-conflict” to the ways that he creates community through shared experiences in his song.
