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

[Tetris v2.0]

Dying to Live by Kodak is actually a great album. I can definitely see Kendrick being inspired by it

 

[Sad Bunny]

We need to talk about how PERFECT both Summer Walker and Ghostface sounded on Purple Hearts


Kendrick is EXCELLENT at expertly placing his features in positions to shine. Jay Rock on Money Trees (especially if he actually wrote Rock’s verse) Anna Wise & Bilal on These Walls. Rapsody on Complexion. Rihanna on Loyalty. MC Eiht on M.a.a.d City. All perfection


This nikka got KODAK BLACK sounding like a great MC

Kodak is and has been a great MC.

U can tell who listen to Kodak and who don’t. Son a weirdo but he been nice. nikka been rappin since he was a kid. I’m waiting to see what Kendrick got wit Nas.

Die Hard growing on me. Very summery smooth

 

[wire28]

He really did it again. Mirror is my jam I ain’t gonna lie to you. Savior and rich spirit have also risen up my rankings but die hard and count me out are still in my top ones.

I listened to disk 1 yesterday and didn't take anything memorable away from it. Some nice sounds I guess, but sometimes I wish this dude would just fukking rap without the artsy shyt. I haven't been motivated to listen to disk 2 as of yet, but if it's as meh as the 1st then...

This times 10000000

[Thelonious Napz]

I like this album more with every listen. This record legit feels like a big fusion of all his previous projects.

 

[Thelonious Napz]

Those strings in Silent Hill! Kinda gives me a classic The Neptunes feel!
