About Lamar alienating his fanbase or making his Electric Circus is pussy talk.

This Butterfly shit is some put-yo-nuts-on-the-table shit that sticks to its concept and convictions. But it's not just some weird just to be weird shit. The songs work for the most part. And even if you struggle to get pass the first two joints before "King Kunta" this is the type of album people always claim to want. Cool, challenging, dope music. But when they get it they complain, "Where's the hits????"lol

I dig it. A lot...."Kinstitutionized" is some exceptional stuff. "Alright" rides out...There's some serious joints on here. But more than that Lamar is showing that an artist who seemingly has the world at his feet, but still goes left when everyone wants him to go right and is willing to take chances at a time when music is no longer valued on mammoth levels.

Yeah, it won't be for everyone, but so what. I get a kick that this album exists when J. Cole and Drake are killing it. Those three artists will forever be connected. So Lamar says fuck it and goes his own way. This is a dope time to be a hip-hop fan...And that's coming from a old fucking man...
