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

[Ziggiy]

So the Heart is the first song for the third disc?

I think its just a “bonus” track. Doubt there’s an actual third disc

2 weeks later, barely had the desire to listen to anything else . Crazy how one album has so much to offer. Kendricks ability to craft albums is just unmatched. Also we all know this already but his songwriting and storytelling ability never ceases to amaze, truly one of the GOATS in that department

Side note - will we ever hear Kendrick rap over a Dre beat? Lol

I thought I was the only one who was thinking that

“How Much A Dollar Cost” is the closest you gonna get.

You said it'd be better if I just worked hard without lifting my head up

...

You made me worry, then changed the story

Goddamn, I could listen to count me out all day

I always thought The Recipe, bonus track on gKMc, was a Dre beat. Not entirely sure though.

Scoop deville did the recipe

I’m not sure if this is a Dr. Dre produced beat even though it’s his song and commercial, but

After two weeks, I still fukk with it heavy. Possibly his 3rd or 4th best album (in a catalogue with no misses).

TPAB
GKMC
DAMN/MM&TBS
Section.80

I don’t understand why people argue with others because they may not like the album, or those who make definitive statements saying the album is wack as if that’s a fact. All anyone is doing is giving their opinion anyway. I’m not interested in convincing anyone why they should like it, nor does it make sense to defend my personal taste in music.

Reconcile these statements.

This is the best review on this I've seen. And the most honest.

Kendrick could’ve doubled that honestly. Idk maybe he’ll do it later

Between what I've been reading into and what Beezy said in his review from DEHH I don't think he is.

He gave his art to be consumed by those who like it and want to come back to it, UT the more I listen to Mirror I think he's done playing the game. I think this was his swan song.

On the surface he is certainly doing TDE no favors. They probably were just manufacturers to appear close

 

[John Mexico]

Drake had the better music fam. And I prefer Kendrick overall.

Honestly after fair trade I check alllllll the way out until YOLT

Does anyone else feel like "Mirror" is a left over beat from the BP soundtrack?

I felt that way about "Die Hard"
