Rapper speaks on new album 'To Pimp A Butterfly'

The artiste says he wants people to get angry, happy and feel disgusted after listening to his album.

American rapper Kendrick Lamar whose album '' was released early and pulled off iTunes yesterday, has spoken to about the LP.

The Compton MC equated himself to a preacher says he is a vessel of the lord trying to do good. "[For many fans], I’m the closest thing to a preacher that they have. I know that from being on tour — kids are living by my music. My word will never be as strong as God’s word. All I am is just a vessel, doing his work" he said.

He also said that his new album should not be tagged political. "It’s a record full of strength and courage and honesty,” [But also] growth and acknowledgment and denial."

"I want you to get angry — I want you to get happy. I want you to feel disgusted. I want you to feel uncomfortable" he further added.
