Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (Discussion Thread)

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

I’d take their opinion over an Indian’s

I'm not indian. Goofy nikka.

I hate that Kendrick sacrificed entertainment for making “important” music. Both can be done but this album is dull as all hell.

Even the good songs have some funky ass beat switch that takes you out, or he’s trying some weird ass flow/delivery.
Father Time is about the only joint I like front to back.

Right, no matter if i like some of the lyrics or concepts, i never wanna listen to this shyt again.

Audibly this shyt is annoying, almost a chore to get through. So manny cringy moments, goofy breakdowns voices and shyt. Beats have no soul just a bunch of fukkin noise.

Only song that’s a good song to actually listen to more than once is Die Hard.

 

[Easy-E]

the f word is out unless you're a c00n. keep in mind that he was under the influence of his auntie demetrious at the time though. i haven't said the f word in years and i don't really feel the need to.

It's crazy how being labeled a "c00n" is the boogieman on thecoli

Litterally anything will get you labeled a c00n, even using a slur that isn't specifically about black ppl

The thing is, you can make some good entertaining music while you do all this. Plenty of people have already.

This is fake deep cringy “artsy” “hipster” stuff. No soul. No real insight. He’s just saying the words and rehashing the topics everyone on woke twitter is talking about everyday.

^^^^^

Kendrick was molested? The song went over my head then. I thought he said he wasn't

 

[Human Torch]

Naw he said his family accused his cousin of molesting him but the cousin didn’t then they guilted Kendrick into feeling bad for telling the truth.

i think it’s on one of the last songs

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Push these nikkas off me like huuuu

Sissy ass shyt

You and Napoleon in here hating like it’s a 9-5, gotta salute the hustle

 

[Klaus Schwab]

Push these nikkas off me like huuuhh

 

[Da_Eggman]

The fact yall can't keep it real about this isn't surprising.

So a 12 hour review is fair on a project he’s worked 5 years for

 

[Stone]

One if the things I’ve always respected and thought was underrated about Kendrick is his best selection and hook crafting.


He makes SONGS

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

^^^^^

I was about to ask the same thing

Did he subconsciously block out the memory? When he said 20 years later the traumas returning I was confused

 

[Revolutionary]

This is both 1) his best work 2) his most enjoyable album imo

I honestly think he's holding back dropping hits/bangers until his next release... once he's officially off of TDE. He dropped this, it's known this is his last record with TDE, he'll tour for a minute, which is probably what gets him the most bread.

He already dropped one of the hardest rap records last year with Keem, so he still has a ear for it. I really think he trying set himself to reap all the benefits to having huge records when he's off of TDE tho.

 

[Shadow King]

So basically he went back to non-commercial route like on TPAB.

He's not a commercial artist
