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

[Corndog]

I didn't connect with this record on release but I've returned to it several times and I like it better each time. I don't think it'll ever be my favorite Dot album (tbh I just hate double albums), but it's masterfully written and put together. And a fire GFK feature goes a looooong way in my book lol

Ranking the Best Kendrick Lamar Albums

I guess it’s fair to say that Kendrick Lamar has owned 2024, right? But if you ask me, he’s owned hip-hop for the past decade. It’s funny, though: I think the insane success of &#…

I fully agree with this list. My personal favorites list would be different, but quality wise, for a "best" list, it's accurate imo

Soul In Stereo list:

1) TPAB (5/5)
2) Morale (5/5)
3) GKMC (4.5/5)
4) DAMN (4.5/5)
5) s80 (4/5)
6) UU (4/5)

So I gave his discog a spin and this is comfortably his 3rd best after the two classics.

Without a doubt DAMN. has the higher highs. Duckworth and DNA are some of Kendrick's best ever songs but this is a more consistent listen to me. Which is ironic given the length

Plus lyrically it feels like him fleshing out and adding a lot more depth to the ideas he explored on DAMN.

Great record 4/5

Yeah, this is my favorite album of his for sure. The only songs i sometimes skip are Auntie Diaries, We Cry Together and Mother I Sober, but only because those are songs that have such a heavy message behind it. I have the same feeling for Brenda's Got A Baby, something that is great but i can't listen to it every time i play the album.

Loved this album since day 1

Always thought it will be his ‘It Was Written’ after the passage of time.

Gotta say this is my favorite album of the 2020s so far. Songs like Mirror and Crown resonate with me so much, it's like he in my head when he made them lol. Still work out to Savior and Count Me Out. Still an album I just put on a ride to, with very few skips.

 

[seemorecizzy]

count me out is one of da best songs of all time
The lyrics and overall vibe of that track is insane.


Worldwide steppers is a very very underrated track. Lyrics are insane...

Nah I'm tripping.

Mother I Sober, Father Time are right up there with his best

Mother I Sober hit me hard last night. Legit made me hate Drake for deliberately misenterpating the song to score points on Kendrick
