As the title of the paper suggests, I chose Kendrick Lamar’s song “Blacker the Berry” off the To Pimp A Butterfly album. When selecting a song, I actually took to Twitter to ask my followers what song I should write about.

Although I did not hear the many rhymes and metaphors at first, after reading the lyrics along with listening to the song I was quick to realize how creative, witty and almost unintentional the rapping’s of Kendrick Lamar are.

It is very beautiful and authentic yet utterly dreadful and haunting. The mood that the song sets embodies all ethereal aspects of emotions that anyone can probably think of. This is the type of track that makes you want to simply listen no matter what you are doing. Listening to the song composition takes you in to a whole new dimension. It grows fear, sadness, despair, anger, and the urge to just cry as it unmistakably sets a very gloomy and dark frame of mind which arouses all the despondencies that you want to poor out in desolation. It is basically a bravura combination of different feelings that touches the soul.
