The last time I observed religion and philosophy in a befriending embrace was when the Emmys performance highlighted a song named "To Pimp A Butterfly". This expression of blackness goes beyond the usual cultural boundaries of the American culture.
When anyone attempts such a slight of hand I imagine philosophers and religionists leaning into each other. "Is this a Vikings like raid (from the 7th century) wherein the intention is to take anything of creative value and carry it off for sale or prestige?"
Monasteries of the Middle Ages developed and preserved religion and philosophy when all around was being destroyed and stolen and enslaved for the sake of power, prestige and personal satisfaction.
The language of Pimping a Butterfly uses lovely and crude images to express the rage of unharnessed emotion and cultural desolation. Rootlessness looking for a home finds itself expressed in prison and ghetto concepts.
This "hip hop" creation by was influenced by funk, free jazz and spoken word. Kendrick Lamar, rapper, put the album out in 2015. Critics applauded the musical scope and social relevance of the lyrics. Negative stereotypes of black Americans is here being addressed. It is said that this creation "tackles hatred, racism and hypocrisy" Source here is Wikipedia.
"Knock these walls down that's my religion" says Kendrick Lamar in one song when he is referring to everything thing from prison to woman and sex. "Sneak me through the back window, I'm a good field nigga".
