Your last sentence me think, perhaps this particular rapping style was done to give this feeling of venting to his therapist? As opposed to say, him spitting bars after bars where it lose the personal feel
probably, especially when you reference videos like Count Me Out & Rich Spirit & the fact that he seems to be talking to a therapist throughout the album
Excellent album. A rare moment in the culture where a black man is super vulnerable and lays it all out there. Very brave.
That 100 rating automatically makes this album "overrated" lol. Its a good album but it has flaws forsure
That’s photoshop.
That’s photoshop.
Should've known it wasn't real,album has much more reasonable 85 metacritic score
Rap album of the decade so far. Rich Spirit, Unified In Grief, Die Hard, Count Me Out, N95, Father Time, Crown, title tracks KTT few years behind just like y’all were w TPAB and DAMN.
not if you go outside
This argument is literally the dumbest one I've ever heard
You think TPAB was played outside
Or any indie album for that matter? Different type of music for different type of settings dumbass
absolutely terrible album that ruined a perfect discography
He's not your savior, stop expecting perfection.
Love when my favorite artists make albums about fatherhood and growing up
That’s why Morale and 4YEO are some of my favorite projects
It says a lot about kendrick that this is his weakest album
This would be most rappers best album

Best take in the thread.

For what it’s worth, a lot black artists in the culture are super vulnerable they just may not be as articulate as Kendrick or people may be tired of their sound. I see people giving him a lot of credit for this, but niggas like Yak/NBA are no different in vulnerability, just they take a different approach to the same traumas.
9/10 album but only because he made a huge mistake putting ‘those two songs’ on it. Remove Auntie Diaries and replace We Cry Together with The Heart V and it’s by a mile the best hip hop album of the decade. Nobody doing it like Kendrick today.
Auntie Diaries is some heat

Album definitely would've been getting some 6s and 7s from critics if it wasn't Kendrick

Great album
Rich Spirit, Silent Hill, Father Time, Savior, and Mr. Morale still get plays today (mostly in the gym)

But it also has multiple perfect scores. Which I don't think would be the case if another artist released this same album
Idk man I’m still conflicted on this album, I loved it on release but it’s slowly fell out of rotation and it doesn’t hit the same on revisits.
Like a lot of it was shocking to hear and that shock wears off when you listen over and over
I still respect the hell out of it because it was the first mainstream rap release to really surprise me in awhile
