Perhaps the biggest mistake I made was to try and listen to the new Kendrick Lamar record at the office. We spend a lot of time on our computers here, and with the constant hum of Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and email in the background, it was hard not to know the second this album dropped. We’re always about the next big thing these days, and I truly believe that music tragics across the world would have trumpeted this album even if it was a letdown. Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately for my attention span), the opposite happened. Five revolutions through an incredibly challenging 80 minutes later, I’m as firmly convinced of the extraordinary merit of this thing as the first time I heard it. No, it’s not a conventional hip-hop album. And no, as BJ Steiner and Jeff Weiss, a far higher authority on hip-hop than any of us pointed out, it is not revolutionary, either. Rappers have been taking left turns on sophomore records into the strange terrains of free jazz and funk for years. Outkast did it. Common did it. And yet, in spite of all that, there’s something sharp and refreshing about a major label rapper putting out a record that is essentially radio suicide in 2015. With the exception of the singles we’ve already heard, it’s almost impossible to break this album apart. The sequencing, if you’re a fan of poetry and high concept art (which I am), is exquisite. Sure, he picks a bunch of samples from the seventies blaxploitation and soul era, but he still chose them and he still bends them within an inch of their lives. And this brings us to ‘How Much A Dollar Cost.’
To Pimp A Butterfly does not make it easy for the listener in any way. Kendrick adopts a variety of personas, speaks in different voices, cuts songs short or abruptly changes course and at one point, decides to have a seven minute conversation with the ghost of Tupac Shakur. It’s a fast ride that loses the vertigo with each listen but some parts really stick out. This song is one of them. I think a lot of it has to do with the sense of claustrophobia manufactured through the shaving off and repositioning the chords from Radiohead’s 2001 master stroke, ‘Pyramid Song’. It’s yet to be determined whether it is this or another modal jazz number that has been lifted and flipped to create the groove here, but combined with sombre muted trumpets, double bass and the click-clack of train track snares, it comes off feeling more like something out of Porgy and Bess than the iPod generation. Janelle Monae has been here, too, and it’s no wonder she personally tipped her hat to Lamar upon the release of this record, they’re both at the forefront of artists pulling the past and future closer together.
‘How Much A Dollar Cost’ keeps tugging me back because of imagery. From the title to the final sequence, in which Lamar is confronted by a homeless black man after telling him he’s keeping all his money for himself, it’s utterly chilling. This is made more believable through the way in which Kendrick inhabits his characters, switching between them so fluidly that it’s often halfway through a verse before you realise who is talking. Critics (and there are more than a few) have countered that this shows that Kendrick is high on concept and ow on actual songwriting. I would volley back that to be able to work words like this doesn’t make you a songwriter, it makes you a writer. We all have favourite chapters from novels, but in the end, what we recommend are books.
So no, I don’t know if I’ll be listening to this in three yeard the way I did maad city. But perhaps that’s not the point. This is an album for now, for the problems and heartaches and injustices of now.
Maybe that’s all it needs to be.
