    Anthony Fantano AKA The Needle Drop has dropped a video discussing To p---- A Butterfly and the criticism it has received from music listeners, journalists and critics in regards to it being a controversial and overly political album.

    In the video below he argues why this is not the case and gives a breakdown of some of the albums themes and intentions.

    I also think that this is a slight indirect response to this recent Complex article:
    Why Did Everyone Claim to Enjoy Kendrick Lamar's 'To p---- a Butterfly'?



    I personally think that he shares some great points and I agree with a lot of what he says.

    What are your feelings? Do you agree with what Anthony says? Does TPAB deserve the backlash that it has been getting?

    nope. no more fantano threads. we're done here.

    (there's also been no backlash against the album. it's against the music criticism industry.)
