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

Great album Father Time

That song made me tear up the first time I heard it.

The first song to evoke that type of emotion out of me since “Reborn” by Kid Cudi.

This album ruined hip hop for me.

I can’t listen to like 90% of these rappers anymore. They legit talk about the same three topics. Peep Young Thugs new song. It’s about sex cars and people being snitches. lol. So trash.

This album was slept on by the general public.

whats crazy is
i wont say it ruined hiphop for me.
but nowadays
If you putting out some shyt that dont have some type of authenticity/soul/emotion behind it… i’m not fukking with it

Ruined it for me. Or made me realize I’m too old for some of it.

I listen to Future, Wayne and Kendrick. That’s basically it. I don’t even check for albums anymore such as those two new Kanye albums or Drake and Party etc. I literally have zero interest … like go check Rap Caviar. All trash. These new rappers suck.

This dropped around the same time and I was like “what am I listening to” and turned it off.

i had forgot at the time of this release and aint really rememebr/peep til now.

but at that time. I was dating/going thru it with my ex

and she the one who pointed out that i needed some sort of help. And i kinda just brushed it off.


time is a bytch

Should have been way bigger.

If he slapped that on GNX would have been another hit.
Timing is everything.

I said that about "Purple Hearts." With how big "Luther" became, the blueprint was there, but the timing was off.

Almost half the album had potential to be bigger in a different time.

That's not even the full problem for me. A lot of it just be so surface level now. Like, Okay, I understand you don't fukk with snitches and rats, but explain why you don't, who are these snitches, what have they done to you, what have you done to them, etc... Have some substance in your bullshyt lol.

But I guess that's how nikkas got caught up in a RICO in the first place

To be fair I did like Young Thug’s last album the pink one and it was more personable.

Another album with the universal acclaim. Kendrick really went 6/6 with his major albums, surpassing Kanye in that department...and critical acclaim used to be his most prestigious achievement
