In-depth, track by track analysis of Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly.

To Pimp a Butterfly is about how vices, personal and societal, and temptations including fame, fortune, power, status, the devil, gang influence and neighborhood ties, depression, regret, colorism, and racism, lead to the pimping of a butterfly. In other words, the album discusses how negative influences can serve to corrupt a naturally free human being. The beauty of the album exists not only in the complexity of this problem, but in the love and hope the ever-evolving butterfly retains despite these vices. The butterfly not only retains love and hope for himself, but also shares his message with others who are afflicted by similar issues and are still only caterpillars.
