Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (May 13th, 2022) Album • Page 26

I won’t be able to listen until after work but some interesting takes in here

 

I mean that's a weird point of comparison, haha. It's not a banger and it's not going to like hype people up, but it's a pretty traditional pop song compared to most of his catalog.

 

Second half is more experiential and deeper, first half is mostly easier to listen to for me but second half has grown on me heavy ever since listen 2

 

Kind of relieved to see so many others agreeing that the first half of this is super weak. Very much just going through the motions, pretty bland and forgettable. Second half is much better

 

it's a good album but I'm not sure it's quite for me

 

On first listen I enjoyed this quite a bit, "Auntie Diaries" and "Mother I Sober" were highlights

 

Hit play on this and WOW. it’s hitting.

 

Remember hearing a very LQ leak of this and being like ??????

 

Dig he opener

 

think Count Me Out and N95 are my favorites so far

 

Crown really clicking with me on this playthrough. The piano is beautiful.

 

Kinda get Prince vibes on it

 

Working Disc 2 right now, but I really enjoyed Disc 1 outside of feeling pretty uncomfortable during We Cry Together. I typically gravitate towards his more "unstructured" stuff, so the opener has hit me the hardest so far.

 

Definitely had to skip past “We Cry Together” had this shit on outside in the garage lol.

 

Y’all weren’t kidding about we cry together. This is not very good lmfao

 

I nearly put this on my speaker at work for the first listen before I decided to listen at home

...this was a good choice lol, We Cry Together in the workplace would have been a bad time

 

“do you wanna see a dead body (get fired*)?”

 

We Cry Together is an amazing track. Not something I’d want to play publicly tho lol

yeah this is a great album

 

how is it not good? genuinely interested because i havent seen really anyone say they don't like it

 

I love “We Cry Together”. I was just saying I didn’t want my neighbors walking their dogs and kids to hear it. It’s a better version of “Stan”.

 

I think it sounds awful. I don't think any of it works

 

Also, man, there’s no reason for Kodak to be on here. Anything else aside, his verse just kinda sucks

 

We Cry Together is the track produced by The Alchemist, so I can't imagine it being bad musically at least.

 

I think overall this album is an 8 (maybe a 9 on further listens) which means for any other artist it would be a 10

 

Prod is fire it’s just… lyrically unappealing because it’s 2 people mostly swearing at each other. 50% of the track is the n-word and the b-word.
