I definitely hear the story and understand the concept, but I just think the way the message was delivered feels unpolished. There are a few standout tracks which execute this flawlessly, but often it sounds forced. I've only listened twice, so it may still take time to hit.After reading this and reading/listening To Kendricks poem, I kinda just realized the story telling is really his poem. The poem is the album. Even literally because one of the songs of the album is "institutionalized" or "These Walls" which I would venture to say is the walls of the cocoon.
It gives the album a lot of replayability too after listening to the poem, it jumps right back to the first track without the answer from pac. It's how you want to perceive it, as the caterpillar or the butterfly leaving something for the listener to answer.
Or maybe it's just finals week and I need to get some sleep.
