* HumbleHero: Kendrick himself is this in real life for many people: He focuses a lot on returning love and care to his hometown of Compton and has said he'd never lose sight of where he came from and what he represents to the West Coast. He also believes this with regards to his family. He provides for them but doesn’t want them to get spoiled. When his sister Kayla graduated from high school, he bought her a very sensible Toyota Camry rather than a flashy car. Kayla defended him on social media and said that she’s glad he’s still got a good head on his shoulders.

* NoEnding: ''To Pimp a Butterfly'' ends rather darkly with [[spoiler: Kendrick reciting a secondary poem]] to [[spoiler: Music/TupacShakur that relates to how the Butterfly and Caterpillar are NotSoDifferent and when asking for Pac's perspective]], [[spoiler: he gets no reply, tying to the theme of breaking the cycle, with Tupac unable to do so due to his death]].

* TrailersAlwaysLie: The meaning of "Backseat Freestyle" (a super arrogant and vulgar rap by a very ignorant young K.Dot whose yet to have his eyes truly opened to the consequences of the hedonist/thug lifestyle he follows) is essentially lost outside of the rest of the album. That didn't stop it from becoming a sequel where listeners would be prone to take its lyrics on its own merit without the context of later songs like "Money Trees" and "Real."

* ChooseYourOwnAdventure: When it comes to ''DAMN.'' one can play the tracklisting forwards, to show Kendrick's narrator's ascent into discovering self-love and self-worth during a life of hardship; playing it in reverse (as seen on the ''COLLECTORS EDITION'') follows the narrator's descent into fear and loathing that ultimately ends in his death as another statistic.
