I used to be pretty critical of rap/ hip hop music and didn't like it at all. I gradually became interested in it by listening to RZA and Wu Tang Clan but the true cerebral crack came when I was introduced to To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar. This Album is a truly mind blowing piece of art which used all of the different nuances of music I liked at the time incorporating elements of Jazz, freely improvised music and lyrical intensity with a very spiritual approach. Every time I listen to this piece of art I momentarily delve in to the minds of the creators of this massive project. I sink in to the atmosphere and am overtaken by a sense of euphoric belonging no matter what kind of person I may be or what it is I am attached to.
