Analysis
Track 15 on
To Pimp A Butterfly by
Kendrick Lamar.Unlike the
single for i he released this is a live version of the song instead of a studio version. He explains on an
MTV interview that this was always the intention for the song and how he saw it playing out and he believes doing it this way plays into
Mortal Man well. Also with it being a live version he also talks to the crowd saying why they should love themselves and discusses reclaiming the n-word back to its original meaning, 'King'.This song is the opposite of
"u" which appears earlier in the album.For more about him explaining the song back when the single dropped check out the
page of the single for i.*There may be errors on this page.
