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

[THE 101]

You know an artist has truly evolved their music when he's getting the "why can't you make the same music you did 10 years ago " responses

Some rap fans hate change

Aside from that cringeworthy argument song this shyt is pure flames. Well worth the wait

 

[KillbertArenas]

We Cry Together

 

[KingDanz]

This his best album to me. An experience. Don't anyone dare compare Mid. Cole and Drake to this musician.

She looked me in my eyes:
"Is there an addiction?"
I said: "No",
but this time I lied, I knew that I can't fix it..
Pure soul, even in her pain,
know she cared for me
Gave me a number,
said she recommended some therapy
I asked my momma:
why she didn't believe me when I told her "No"?
I never knew, she was violated.. in Chicago
I'm sympathetic
Told me, that she feared it happened to me,
for my protection
Though it never happened, she wouldn't agree
Now I'm affected, 20 years later,
trauma has resurfaced
Amplified, as I write this song I SHIVER,
'cause I'm nervous..
I was 5, questioning myself,
'lone for many years
Nothing's wrong, just results
on how them questions made me feel
I made it home, 7 years on tour,
chasing manhood
But Whitney's gone, by time you hear this song,
she did ALL she could
All these women, gave me super powers,
what I thought I lacked
I pray our children,
don't inherit me and feelings I attract
A conversation,
not bein' addressed in Black families
The devastation,
haunting generations and humanity
They raped our mothers,
then they raped our sisters
Then they made us watch
then made us rape each other
Psychotic torture between our lives,
we ain't recovered
Still livin' as victims in the public eyes
who pledge allegiance
Every other brother has been compromised
I know the secrets,
every other rapper sexually abused
I see 'em daily,
buryin' they pain in chains and tattoos
So listen close, before you start
to pass judgement, on how we move
Learn how we cope, whenever his uncle
had to walk him from school
His anger grows, deep in misogyny
This is post-traumatic
Black families and a sodomy,
today is still active
So I set free MYSELF,
from all the guilt that I thought I made
So I set free MY MOTHER,
all the hurt that she titled shame
So I set free my cousin,
chaotic for my mothers pain
I hope Hykeem made you proud,
'cause you ain't die in vain
So I set free the power of Whitney,
may she heal us all
So I set free our children,
may good karma keep them with God
So I set free the hearts filled with hatred,
keep our bodies sacred
As I set free all you abusers,
THIS is transformation

[African_brehda]

This Indian account is fukking annoying

The site upgrade must include banning him permanently

 

[Peak]

Whilst this may be subject to change, this does not move me so far. I mean Kendrick does his thing but it is not very captivating.
