KENDRICK LAMAR ÉVOQUE LE THÈME DE SON ALBUM

Pas d’info incroyable ni de snippet mais le fait que Kendrick rentre en détail dans le contenu thématique de l’album laisse à penser qu’il va sortir certainement cette année, c’est en tout cas le rythme auquel on est habitué avec Kendrick, un album tous les 2 ans, untitled unmastered. n’étant pas un album à proprement parler.

Il s’est donc entretenu avec le New York Time et voici comment il décrit le successeur de To Pimp A Butterfly :

“It’s very urgent”

« I think now, how wayward things have gone within the past few months, my focus is ultimately going back to my community and the other communities around the world where they’re doing the groundwork »

« To Pimp a Butterfly was addressing the problem. I’m in a space now where I’m not addressing the problem anymore. We’re in a time where we exclude one major component out of this whole thing called life: God. Nobody speaks on it because it’s almost in conflict with what’s going on in the world when you talk about politics and government and the system. »

« This is what goes on in my mind as a writer, one day, I may have a little girl. And it’s a girl in particular—funny you should say that. She’s gonna grow up. She’s gonna be a child I adore, I’m gonna always love her, but she’s gonna reach that one point where she’s gonna start experiencing things. And she’s gonna say things or do things that you may not condone, but it’s the reality of it and you know she was always gonna get to that place. And it’s disturbing. But you have to accept it. You have to accept it and you have to have your own solutions to figure out how to handle the action and take action for it. When I say ‘the little girl,’ it’s the analogy of accepting the moment when she grows up, we love women, we enjoy their company. At one point in time I may have a little girl who grows up and tells me about her engagements with a male figure—things that most men don’t want to hear. Learning to accept it, and not run away from it, that’s how I want this album to feel. »

Bon perso, je n’y comprends pas grand chose, j’ai l’impression qu’il va reprendre là où To Pimp A Butterfly s’est arrêté avec un album engagé sur sa communauté et sur Dieu, pas vraiment d’accord avec ça : « Nobody speaks on it because it’s almost in conflict with what’s going on in the world when you talk about politics and government and the system. », je trouve au contraire que pas mal d’albums récents sont justement très axés sur la foi, Coloring Book, Pablo et tout récemment l’album de Stormzy.
