Reviews"A Bracing and Urgent Look at Black Life in America from One of the Best Mcs of His Era.", "With its heated social commentary and shape-shifting song structures, BUTTERFLY has the freedom of a mixtape -- samples range from Michael Jackson to cult folkie Sufjan Stevens—but the production values of an Oscar-worthy cinematic event." -- Grade: A, "In Laying His Demons and His Contradictions Bare, He Has Stayed True to His Formidable Talent.", "Let’s give it up to the astounding thicket of music here, the best-produced rap since the dawn of Drake: shades of Miles Davis’ ON THE CORNER and free jazz all over, as well as Sly Stone’s THERE'S A RIOT GOIN' ON and Funkadelic.", "To Pimp a Butterfly Is the Wall of 21st-Century Hip-Hop."
