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

Since I’m finally able to post I might as well say that I’ve heard this about ten times now and it got better with every listen. Thank you Kendrick.

Kendrick could burp on a track and y'all nikkas will say it was the most poetic, substantive burp in the history of performative rap music

My nikka maybe you should actually challenge the takes instead of having sour grapes about the hype.

Yall gotta atmctually articulate your feeling instead of being grumpy and hating shyt

Yeah at this point I will never get the whole Kendrick thing. The lyrics and the subject matter are quality but like the actual sounds of the music sounds so bad.

I don't think he's a plant but he seems to be hip-hop fans version of sticking your pinky in th air while you sip on some bullshyt tea you can't even spell. Just a way for niccas to smell their own farts.

The irony of this post is he addresses on the album he doesn't want to be that type of rapper

Album is cool.
It touches on some topics that hit home personally for me.
I like the incorporation of acoustic orchestral instruments.

Dope album.

I agree with this but I say the album is very good to excellent.

A lot hit home to me, made me stop in my tracks at some point and just think. “mother I sober” literally reminded me of some shyt that happened in my life a few weeks ago. Daddy Issues in my life had me crying bucket loads last month then hearing shyt on Kendrick album just mad me stop again.

The thing is with Kendrick and rappers like Nas, they make projects as albums. Other rappers just throw some songs together on some unhinged unbalanced shyt. But this album is like reading a book or being in an art show under one artist, it flows right and all the song choices make sense.

No radio shyt, no club songs, nothing for TikTok dances. But just cultures excellence.

Listened to a few songs over the last couple days, really like N95 but there's a song where he's talking about banging white chicks for the 'ancestors'? The fukk is that about?

Blu was signed to Warner Bros, but continue.

and it Blu isn't biracial, J Cole is the one with the white mama

Jesus Christ, the J. Cole/ Blu comparison continues to be the laziest fukking thing ever. Just say they're light skinned

Only thing Cole has in common with Blu is the cool everyman persona; but their styles are very different and Cole was bigger than him from like the moment he got signed lmao

Count me out
Father Time
And the song with Kodak my favorite so far

People keep plucking all these lines out of context. He's talking about his sex addiction, is embarrassed with himself for fukking around with sun dodgers, and threw out some flimsy justification to his girl and others when pressed about it.

He's putting out his flaws on this album

Ever since GKMC Kendrick has given a spotlight to a hip hop OG

GKMC- MC Eight
TPAB- Snoop
DAMN- Kid Capri
Mr Morale-Kodak Black

Fixed

I wish Count Me Out was the album closer.
