Who’s the chick rapping on We Cry Together?…that track is wild 
Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (Discussion Thread)
- Thread starter FS4LFE
- Start date
This is gonna be divisive. After one listen idk how to gauge it. Content is crazy but hard to imagine people returning to it regularly
2nd “disc” better than the first. The play theme is apparent throughout.

Kanye has one of the greatest discographies in all of hip hop. He fell off on the last couple but every album up to Pablo was undeniable.
Now if you were one of those people who was bytching about MBDTF not sounding like College Dropout or demanding he just make soulbeats for his whole career, then that speaks to your music preferences.
But Kanye is pretty much the best example of a hip hop artist evolving their sound in ways that were both artistically and commercially successful. He fell off eventually because all artists fall off.
I been around a long time. I've seen people in mass shyt on Stankonia, Hell Hath No Fury and Like Water for Chocolate for being too different or weird or whatever. These albums are now remembered as classics. Time reveals all in the end.
Now I don't even know how good this album is. It's too early. It could be his best or his worst. There's still a lot to marinate on, and there's things on this album that may not work or maybe it'll grow on me. But ya'll are fighting a losing battle if you expect someone like Kendrick to repeat himself or do some corny shyt like name his album GKMC II like these washed rappers trying to revive the past. And that doesn't mean you have to like it. I can totally get why people wouldn't like the stuff he's doing on this album. But it annoys me when some fans (not saying you btw) act like an artist is obliged to just make the same shyt time and time again. And then if they do that they get shyt on for being derivative or repeating themselves lol
tl;dr ;i think i like this album lol
Who’s the chick rapping on We Cry Together?…that track is wild
Thats actually actress Taylour Paige. She was in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
It's up there with Sing About Me/Dying of Thirst and Fear!!
United In Grief is an excellent mood setter to kick off the album. That piano and Kendrick’s rapping
Love the album
Oh wow - that was her rapping? She was in Zola as well. I follow her on Instagram but I thought it was a rapper called Taylor Paige I never heard of - Kendrick obviously wrote her bars but she ate that shyt the fukk up lolThats actually actress Taylour Paige. She was in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
Based off second listen I am ranking Kendrick albums in this order.
TPAB
GKMC
MMATB/DAMN
Section.80
Untitled Unmastered
Overly Dedicated
Somebody said in this thread earlier like this album feels like a playlist of songs, and it is true. It is a playlist of amazing/great songs individually but some of the songs on here don't flow into each other or come together like they did on his previous albums, it's something I loved about his albums. Still gonna become a classic.

Off first listen gives me heavy To Pimp A Butterfly vibes which i didnt fck with in the beginning. Album sounds like it was literal therapy for k dot. I'll have to give it another listen and zone it to it.
Worldwide steppers, Father issues, silent hill first standouts for me

Nah.
If anyone is confused, it's because Kendrick has elevated to another plane and isnt violenf on here.
He is rapping like a person his age...He is being introspective and sharing his flaws and not being aggressive

“We Cry Together” is fukking flames
that’s me and my ex all the way
that’s me and my ex all the way
Album is a whole vibe and it speaks to me
Ok this hit way harder in the car 
Mr.Morale beat is wild.
way too early ranking
damn
Gkmc
Tpab/mmatbs
Section.80
everything else
I think someone said it but sonically this is somewhere between tpab and damn but the sound is less cohesive than either of those albums. But it’s by far the most personal shyt he released.
