The naysayers are usually yt people who can't relate to that black trauma, album is non inclusive, jarring, beautiful and always worth a listen. Kendrick outdid himself because after a 5 hear wait, he made a very brave decision to go left field. It's not flawless, but it is the best of its class, that mature album thang, a classic once you understand the concept of its world.

Remember listening to mirror in a dark place in my life, incessantly replaying it, I find that each song captures a specific moment. Can never relate to auntie diaries doe

it’s subpar music bro, s*** doesn’t sound good

Album grew on me fr

I will say the ‘hype’ tracks are arguably better than the introspective ones

This still in rotation

Can’t believe it’s been 2 years

Ppl just wanted to see Kendrick

I love this album, def a comfort album for me

MR MORALE GIVE ME HIGH FIVE

TWO TIME CENTER CODEFENDENT JUDGING MY LIFE

BACKPEDALER WHAT THEY SAY YOU DO THE CHA CHA

you know album wasn’t it when the anniversary thread only has 3 pages in 2 hours

Transformation I must had one thousand lives and like three thousand wives

You should know that I’m slightly off, fighting demons that been outside

Better known as myself I’m a demigod

Every thought is creative sometimes I’m afraid of my open mind

Prefer this over DAMN

United In Grief.

Listened to it while doing self care + running errands and I swear it just hits better when you've lived more between listens

Still Kendrick's first miss imo Some amazing songs on it though. Prayer should've been on it, We Cry Together and possibly Mr Morale should've been cut

It explores a lot of real topics a lot of us downplay or don't want to face, I hate to sound pretentious but it really is an album meant for hurt people wanting to heal and do better.

People look for the wrong things in this album but will get it eventually

just found this chune

gonna be playing at my sets all summa

IMO some of his best writing and songs are on this album.

Not sure I can say classic yet, though it took me some time to say DAMN. was a classic too

Great album though, these have been some of the most challenging years of my life thus far and some of these songs gave me real game and got me through.

“Anytime I couldn’t find God, I still could find myself in a song”

happy anniversary Mr morale

I GOT DADDY ISSUES AND THAT'S ON ME

Hello….CRACKERS

Mr Morale, Die Hard & Purple Hearts have never left rotation
