You lowkey have to be smart as f*** to think of “alphet”

I don‘t defend s*** If an album is fire it‘s fire I don‘t try to do mental gymnastics do discredit s*** I don‘t fw if it‘s not my cup of tea then that‘s it end of the story

im just saying idk about rosenberg and ebro doing a vz but f*** it

my favorite way of misspelling a word is na10

It’s not mental gymnastics it’s nuance

Mr Morale isn’t an awful or invalid work by any means. And I’m not making some s*** up to discredit it. But he promoted it as a double album so I was personally disappointed when it wasn’t one

you will do na10 mcgregor voice

French doesn’t have a single solo hit song, and none of his hits are even hits because of him

Ain’t Worried Bout Nothin was a big hit

WE JUST TALKING HITS NOTHING ELSE BY THE WAY 🙏🏿

I think Americana‘s point about an double album not being defined by it‘s length is fair but I guess let‘s agree to disagree

My fault, he has ONE solo hit

French has some bangers man I don‘t like his music but don‘t try to eradicate his whole career lmao. Kendrick definitely miles ahead tho even iNrEaLLiFe

Imagine if The White Album was shorter than Sgt Pepper the whole history of the double album would say Americana is wrong.

I challenged that point and asked for examples of other artists who have double albums that are shorter than their single albums. Still waiting on the evidence that this is a thing.

in the era of physical media it did

I agree that technically the same thinking shouldn’t apply in 2022 but Kendrick and Dave Free knew exactly what they were doing with the promotional material for that album and acting like it was a double disc

It‘s the new age man people don‘t give af about strict rules Daytona was an album with 7 songs not an EP. X dropped 17 it’s an 22 minute album. Kendrick made 2 discs with different concepts or approaches and that‘s why he called it an double album I think looking too deep in it is meh

See: speakerboxx/ the love below

Real. And even in that sense that yes discs aren’t as defined by length as they used to be in the physical era, doesn’t it still logically follow that a double album should be longer than a single album?

@xxxkiraxxx id also be more forgiving if the two discs actually had different concepts and approaches, but really that aspect of the project could’ve been defined much more clearly and the two “sides” much more distinct if it was going to be such a crucial part of the presentation

There’s still step noises on the morale disc and the content and tone don’t shift convincingly enough for me to give it a pass

The whole double album thing was a crock of s*** no matter how you slice it.

And which Outkast album is longer than that?

Also are you implying that morale and the big steppers are two distinct projects in the same sense that speakerboxx and the love below are? Cause if so, wow.

it’s a double album in a different way, it’s two solo albums

so length is irrelevant even if there was a Kast album longer than Speakerboxx/ Love Below’s runtime

I mean it‘s 4 times as long as Daytona which counts as one album

If I was Kendrick I would’ve just done a collab album with Keem and get features from some other rappers like Kodak, Travis, Vince, Paak, make some bangers with no
real concept that could go on your top spotify playlists / radio and then drop that a few months later as the Big Steppers album.

the fans and conspiracy theorists that love to write Kendrick Lamar dissertations would have eaten that s*** up

Cc @tomonthekeys

I’m saying that the conditions of packaging and presentation lend themselves to creative ideas

The idea of packaging two solo albums and dividing the group of outlast through the medium of the double disc is presented by the physical concept

The same occurred for MMBS, and it isn’t less valid because it’s a shorter album

Ur just mad af cuz ur a hater

would you prefer a 7 track version of mr morale or a 19 track version of Daytona?

love both albums fr just genuinely curious
