Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (May 13th, 2022) Album • Page 39

you nailed it

 

This album prompted me to run through his discography, which I haven't done in forever. Forgot about some of the loosies I absolutely love. "Cartoons & Cereal" is still one of my favorite songs of his. "I Hate You" is so good too with that Sigur Rós sample.

 

Kendrick Lamar’s Anxiety Era

I really recommend this

 

The more time spent with this, I just really commend Kendrick's ability to be completely vulnerable in every single track, even with really challenging topics.

 

I haven't given this enough proper, full listens in one sitting because I've been so busy, but man, all of my initial feelings of being underwhelmed are certainly gone. This is pretty damn special, and revelatory for the genre.

 

shut the fuck up when you hear love talking

 

I think this is second only to TPAB in his discography for me.

 

listen to this everyday. i really love the second half.

 

Good album

 

Mr. Morale beat been in my head a while

 

Rinsed this for the second time on my morning run and it's good but I don't know if I think it's great. It's kinda giving musical theatre.

 

Def not a running album smh

 

Any album is a running album if you just believe

 

I ran to this on my second listen and loved it ha

 

I already posted this, but worth repeating: it’s an oddly great album to bike to.

 

My current biking playlist goes back and forth from heavier music to hip hop, been doing a lot of early Jay z then like, Flatliners, Wilhelm scram, etc. Next up is rotating on the Kendrick albums, so that's good to hear!

 

You know what I hate? The joy you get when the beat for Silent Hill starts and then you remember Kodak is on it. UUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHH.

 

Seems like Thundercat did bass on Mother I Sober based off his IG story of him in the studio playing and recording to it

 

Pretty damning evidence

 

I've sat with this long enough to feel pretty strongly that it is a great album. It's not flawless -- there are some songs and moments I could do without -- but it's really, really good.

 

I've made it through this album one time

 

Agreed....listening over time and with the lyrics in front of me definitely gives an added edge...and while there may be some skippable moments still one of my tops of the year for sure

 

I think as other posters have pointed out I think it helps a lot to listen to this as two separate albums

 

if an album requires you to think of it differently than the album is actually presented, that’s on the artist not the listener
