Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly was supposed to drop Monday, March 23, 2015. Instead, it arrived a week early, late on Sunday night, March 15, much to the chagrin of TDE CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith:

Writers are used to kicking out album reviews pretty quickly, but this one was tough. From the jazz and funk influences to the pointed lyrics about racism in America, there was a lot to unpack on TPAB. But the news cycle waits for no man or woman, so most of the reviews rolled out over the next week.

If some felt like seven days was too short a timespan for reflection, a full year should do the job, which is why Genius asked writers of some of last year’s TPAB reviews to revisit their work. Do they agree with their words from a year ago, or do they feel differently now that more time has passed? Find links to all of the annotated reviews below.
