Kendrick Lamar Nearly Made His Album Title an Acronym for 'Tupac'
FUSE TV - Kendrick Lamar Nearly Made His Album Title an Acronym for 'Tupac'
Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly is as singular a name as it is an album. The meaning is painted across the course of the record's narrative, and clarified and driven home with repeat listens.
But it almost wasn't called that. Speaking to MTV, K-Dot revealed that the record nearly went by Tu Pimp a Caterpillar. The Tu wouldn't have just been a reference to one of Lamar's biggest touchstones as an artist—it would've been the beginning of a title that worked as an acronym for Tupac. Not only does Kendrick have a fondness for covering the legend's legendary track "Hail Mary," he also does some interview-style back-and-forth with a 'Pac conversation from the archives.
