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

[HNIC973]

Not a fan of this

 

[Chip Skylark]

Rich Spirit is on constant repeat.

That’s the real single. It should’ve gotten the video treatment instead of N95

Rich Spirit is on constant repeat.

It has the most replay on the album but it needs a better beat

 

[DapMeUp!]

I'm liking this more and more with each listen.

On first listen I thought it was cool and didn't think I would play it that much but after my second listen it really clicked for me.

Need a video for Die Hard ASAP

First verse on Worldwide Steppers might be his best verse.

 

[DapMeUp!]

Also has Baby Keem got a verse harder than the Savior interlude? I have to assume Kendrick wrote that verse for him because I can't locate one.

I'm never sure if Kendrick was influenced by Keem or he just writes for him, cause he started using Keem-like Cadences and flows around DAMN times,

Yep I'm not even black but continue to spit all over these people. I'm not talking about the LGBTQ community but to all the cacs that think they are afforded to police the art of anyone different from them. Even Fantano didn't object to any of the messages here, only judging the musical palette on here.

They love to remember him by TPAB because they love to remember black people as the "hands up don't shoot" icons of the Mike Brown protests. Kendrick has learned from Prince, Nas, etc. To just perform your art.

This is at best his 3rd best collection of work, but he's got my full support.

It's the modern infantilisation of adults. People cannot deal with complexity or contradictions in art anymore. Any music, film, literature that provokes is shuned or deemed "problematic" because it doesn't adhere to the shallow liberal identity politics that these clowns try force all art to conform to.

Good art is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable or challenge you.

I really like this album. I think I like it more than his last two Solo albums.

 

[mastermind]

Kodak killed it.

This the hardest track on the album

My favorite song on the album

 

[SuburbanPimp]

We Cry Together is song of the year and deserves a Oscar...

At first I was like why he use Taylor Paige instead of female rapper? But the more I listened to it and her switching the inflection in her voice, almost sounding like she was spitting through tears at times. It made a lot more sense of why’d he use an actress rather than a rapper for that

Kendrick will never go hard body at white supremacy, detrimental agendas anything that would piss powerful people off.

It's too bad this album came out around the same eligibility year with an Adele album otherwise it would be the heavy favorite to win Album of the Year at the Grammys.

 

[Busby]

Oh we back

This album still hasn’t left my rotation
