No album has EVER came and went faster than Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers

[Dolo]

It's still on yall mind lmao

 

[maxamusa]

OP did kendrick or his people knock off one of your folks cot damn this next level hating

 

[mobbinfms]

Everybody played it even me because it’s Kendrick Lamar. The quality of the album isn’t good. That’s what I’m saying. The fukk I care about streaming numbers for? It’s a forgettable album that everybody listened to for a little bit.

Then why are you in a thread about the album coming and going?
The album had, I believe, the biggest first week for a rap album, and hasn’t left the top 40 on billboard over the past five months.

 

[GilSho]

Yes because of Kendrick’s massive casual white mainstream audience.

This album is irrelevant has no influence in the culture.

The "culture" didn't like Section. 80, GKMC (waiting for people to revise history here), TPAB or DAMN either though.

What Kendrick raps about has never resonated with black people like that.

At the end of the day he's still able to sell albums and sell out shows without putting out destructive music like most successful rappers.

Whoa!

There’s no way you believe this.

Section 80 and especially GKMC got hella love from “the culture”

Hiii Power has folks in a frenzy on campus. (I graduated from an HBCU in the Deep South) and swimming pools s was getting hella play in clubs (for the wrong reasons ) Poetic Justice even had the chicks rocking with GKMC

I don’t want to get people panties in a bunch talking about TPAB but Damn got love too.

Now mr moralle i haven’t seen getting love like that. It’s been mainly his “Stan’s” pushing that album and his record sales are indicative of that

Man idk what you're talking about...I was out on the WC when GKMC dropped....I can't speak for EVERY person out here...but GKMC was getting a lot of burn and love....I still remember playing uno and all the ladies drunk AF making us drinks singing swimming pools

That’s cap the disconnect started with TPAB (I liked it)

Those others got a lot of love

Because nobody has been talking about this album at all in real life or on The Coli. Had to bring that to attention

Everybody and they momma loved this album. Hell, you can legit find a video of a dude letting his old ass dad listen for the first time and he loving the album.

I've never seen more people who only listen to the Boosies, Webbies, Gates, trap/drill etc listen to something like they did GKMC. It would be like if the deep south started bumping Danny Brown.

 

[Cᵣₐₛₕ&ₜₕₑCₒᵤₚ]

Album is very good and I'm personally still listening to it.​

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Anybody mind recommending me their favorite songs from this album? I was a kdot fan until recent years and couldn't get into this. I didn't really like damn either.

This definitely came and went tho, as much as i don't want to say it. Of course there are still people that listen to it, but it's probably a 50/50 situation and i know Kendrick can do better than that. Gkmc and TPAB were still being talked about and played a lot longer than for how long this been out. Some of those songs would also pop up in my YouTube music shuffle queue.

Coming from someone that actually likes the album:

N95
Father Time
Rich Spirit
Purple Hearts
Savior

I also really like "Worldwide Steppers," "Die Hard" and "Count Me Out." Personally, I still don't understand what it is about this album that gets under people's skin. "N95" would be considered a banger if someone else made it, especially with how great it sounds live. "Purple Hearts" goes into another gear after Summer Walker starts singing on it, and it still sounds like it could make a great single. And "Savior" is Kendrick straight up rejecting the image people placed on him, while criticizing those who are scared to say what's on their mind.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

That’s a great song! The only one on the entire album that has any reply value & radio value! As you see he has a tremendous CAC fanbase a bunch of trendy hipsters..

Every single rap concert in an arena looks the same, black folk are not paying for concerts where nosebleeds start at $60+ per ticket. You only see super black crowds at clubs and small (and or low budget) venues.

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Haters said that about GKMC

Before Mr. Morale came out, there were people here talking about DAMN not being a good project and being at it winning a Pulitzer.

 

[DaveyDave]

if you don’t like Kendrick then why do you care about his new album and how well it did or what it sounds like. I care SWEET fukk ALL about Drakes albums or how many sales he has, I literally could not care any less about the latest Drake album. I don’t check for it when it drops, I don’t care if it gets 3 billion streams a day, why would I? Drake is just an example but there’s plenty more.

 

[boogers]

i thought it was absolute garbage and ive never felt the need to compare it to even more mediocre music (see: above, Drake) to try to justify it. it sucked. period.

kendrick has been out of touch. did everyone miss that black panther track he did? kendrick aint shyt. he had a spark when he started and now hes hot garbage. just worse and worse every record. maybe he'll get ja rule on the next one.
