With a new album coming out called “To Pimp a Butterfly” Kendrick Lamar is all everyone seems to be interested in.
Kendrick recently sat down with “Mass Appeal”. For their third episode of “Super”. The episode was about trying to discover what an artist’s super hero name and power would be. Kendrick starts the episode off by describing his vibe and persona and came up with the name “Hard Body” for his superhero name.
“What would my name be?,” Kendrick said. “It got to be something slick man. Hard Body, there’s really no uniform. That’s the catch. It’s whatever the environment he’s in, he chameleon in. No mask no nothing, you don’t see him coming. The powers that he projects is straight love, energy. This right here controls how everybody moves and everybody thinks. We living in a world full of hate. The homies right here hating on you. They finna rob you, they finna do this, boom he’s going to come in there. You think he’s with you and your crew, but he’s working on the act of love.”
Because every hero needs a villain, someone to fight with to make the hero look strong and hopeful. Kendrick says the enemy would be a woman named “Lucy”. Lucy would Lucifer (the devil) in disguise.
Is Kendrick trying to say women are the devil? Or that he will defeat the devil all the time? Either way Kendrick’s superhero is perfect for the type of artist he is.
