- “Wesley’s Theory” In his interview with Rolling Stone, Lamar reveals how influential Seventies funk was on To Pimp a Butterfly‘s sound. The album’s first song plays that out, opening with a sample from Boris Gardiner’s cheery manifesto of black pride “Every Nigger Is a Star” off the soundtrack of the 1974 Calvin Lockhart-directed blaxploitation film of the same name.
