Description

Desmond is back this week with his eleventh album breakdown as he dives into what is arguably considered Kendrick Lamar's best album, To Pimp A Butterfly. Dez takes you on a journey unpacking the album's themes of growth, self-love, authenticity, peace, and perseverance, while highlighting the lyrical creativity and depth Kendrick showcases on each song. In Part 2, he analyzes the final eight tracks where Kendrick Lamar, metaphorically, evolves into the butterfly he so desperately wanted to become. Dez breaks down that evolution through Kendrick's recount of the lessons that taught him to stay humble & grounded, the importance of loving and staying true to oneself, and the push to bring positive impact to the world.

Enjoy and share your thoughts! Thank you for all the support! - Dez
