      More akin to hard bop and avant garde jazz of the 50's and 60's, but understanding the lineage from blues to jazz to hip hop is essential to this track and what kendrick is saying. Rap is a continuation of jazz in poetic form, the rhythms, soloistic nature, and the fact that the song serves as a conversation stems from the ideas and values of jazz. It doesn't hit hard in spite of the jazz beat, it hits hard BECAUSE of the jazz beat, and because of what it represents in terms of musical and cultural heritage.

      Mahmoud Sekeen It's deeper than that, the female represents America aka "She" or "Her" and how she has all these demands placed on the blackman, wanting things for free as if it were 500 yrs ago. That's the reason for the lines "You didn't even buy me no outfit for the 4th" which is America's offical b-day, "Imma get my Uncle Sam to fuck you up! You ain't no King!" Uncle Sam IRS or any branch of the armed services. Every chance and angle, America is demeaning and hateful towards the blackman, always trying to keep him down.
      Kendrick is the voice for the blackman saying "this dick ain't free" no more, futher saying I'm staring to awaken to who I am, I know who you are and I know my worth so this "dick", this blackman will never be free for your enjoyment or America's self gain ever again.
      Sidenote: America's greatest nightmare and greatest fear is the rise of the blackman, Him chasing Her around in the video, She is terrified, only to go outside and find more Kendrick's.

      @@LonelyHeartsHarley This is old but since no one's given a full answer I think it mostly comes down to how the US demonizes black men/people and seeing a black man succeed within the system will try to villainize him. Also how he doesn't live up to the expectations of what it means to be a successful black man, to 'look down on the caterpillar', the people you come from, and how america tries to bring him down to the level of making him demonize the community that made him but he refuses to. At least my two cents coming from the rest of the album.

    To Pimp A Butterfly was one of those albums where you first listen to it and don't really enjoy it as much as you thought you were going to because you don't get the message but because you know the artist is trying to portray a message you give the album more and more listens which helps you gradually understand the artist's message behind the album more. Then a few months later you're calling it one of your favourite albums of the year because you can now see and understand the message behind the album well enough to enjoy the album and applaud you how smart the artist was in creating this masterpiece.

    I am in no way an expert, but for anyone looking for a little insight on the song:
    The “ghetto” girl at the beginning is supposed to be America. That’s why she says stuff like “walking around like you God’s gift to earth. Nigga you ain’t shit!” And “you ain’t even buy me an outfit for the 4th!” (4th of July).
    Black people in recent years have been incredibly more proud of their culture and have been uplifting themselves constantly. Especially with people changing the names of holidays like a Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day and things of that nature, America has had enough with black people empowering themselves, and so she is angry and asks why the black man hasn’t bought an outfit for the 4th of July, or been spending their money constantly. That’s why Kendrick says things like “this dick ain’t free! ...I need 40 acres and a mule (which former slaves were promised but never received) not 40 ounces and a pit pull, bullshit”
    And that is why at the end, America says “imma get my Uncle Sam to FUCK you up!”
    For those that don’t know, Uncle Sam is the personification of taxes in America, and so America is saying that they’ll make sure to screw over the black population any way it can.

    The song certainly is lighthearted and comedic at times but a lot of you guys are missing the deeper messages here regarding things like the government and the music industry. It's genius honestly.

    • @PrinceJayReal
      @PrinceJayReal Před 8 lety +140

      ***** A lot of it is the music industry and government as well though which is why there's the character of the Uncle Sam. He makes reference to this as well in the album's previous track, Wesley's Theory with lines like "Uneducated, but I got a million-dollar check like that" or really the entire second verse regarding Uncle Sam and how artists are almost tricked into going broke since they aren't taught how to handle their money. The last line as well of the song as Kendrick has "Tax man coming" repeating over and over. This tracks goes further into those same points while showing Kendrick's resilience to not be "pimped" by the music industry or the government. Everything regarding the girl is a parallel to the music industry and government in fact(shown by how she says "I'm gonna call my Uncle Sam to fuck you up") and while "This dick aint free" has an obvious and literal meaning, it also refers to Kendrick refusing to sell himself away.
      The government and the music industry benefits when an artist is spending all his money on things like gold chains or cars and eventually go broke. A lot of this track and the album as a whole deal with how Kendrick has to avoid the temptations and demons that come with the fame and how they will eventually destroy you.

Same goes with the latest album that came out in 2022 that was just a mess like this, but the other projects sounds beautiful​. "why hate kendrick" "L taste" "lil peep is prolly your fav artist" No, not really.

    Dude should win a Nobel Prize for Literature on this shit. Fucking deepest track I’ve ever heard. Kendrick is not only peers with Tupac; he’s peers with Langston. He’s one of the greatest American authors in history. Can’t believe I got to stumble over this song five years ago and catch that something special was going on and look deeper. Wow.

    • @ameliasv222
      @ameliasv222 Před 3 lety +252

      I genuinely believe he will win the Nobel for Literature once he's older. I mean, Bob Dylan already did it. The thing is you usually don't win Nobels for a single project, but rather your lifes work.
      I would bet a 1.000 dollars he will win one someday if he keeps dropping classics.
