First off: Kendrick Lamar doesn’t seem to need a lot of help. At this point, he’s at the top of his game, and his highly anticipated follow up to 2012’s \"Good Kid, m.A.A.d city\" is already one of the most talked about album in years — and it still doesn’t have an official release date.<\/p>\n

But when the rapper dropped his latest track, the searingly political \"The Blacker the Berry,\" he created another wave of excitement, the ripples of which are being felt by one of the year’s biggest TV dramas and one of America’s favorite authors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
