feels philosophical, nihilistic, and conceptual with a shade of sonic complexity to me

worldwide steppers beat had me like this

If this doesnt sell more than DAMN. first week this a complete flop too then

need someone to edit the Blacker the Berry over the We Cry Together instrumental

Lmao! Now say what you about the album but the cover is amazing.

Nah my opinion hasn’t changed on it with any further listen

This album and Denzel Curry’s last album go over a lot of the same themes. Pretty interesting. They both are great in their own ways.

It’s not yawn fm?

when the vox came in

yea it was unbearable in here

Well come back when it does

Bad take

Happy 15 hour and 50 minute anniversary to Mr. Morale!

hm gimmie another one

the beat building on united in grief>>>

yes, and it looks awful as an album cover

We Cry Together shouldn’t be this hilarious

For Sale vibes on this

I’m still in disbelief.

This album was well worth the wait.

Bro there’s a part in Savior that sounds like Brownstains beat wise @Mitchell i know I’m not crazy

But I like how this album somewhat touches on the issues men face nowadays, the movement shall begin

u mean the podcast that broadcasted racial slurs geared towards darkskinned black women?

IMO its a combination of many concurrent factors. Legitimate breakthroughs in human behavioral science + a resurgence in parapsychological/pseudo-occult/border science adjacent beliefs (commonly seen in post-war colonial societies like 50s Germany or late 60s America) + a generation with greater access to history and more open to non-Western schools of medicine, psychology and philosophy

Kendrick weirdly enough encapsulates so much of this current vogue on the album, which is at odds with how it presents itself as a rebuke to conventional current ideals. He makes repeat references to a Jungian collective unconscious, laces the album with soundbites from Ekhart Tolle talking about f***in energy fields, and generally seems to buy into the concept of a mass "seelische Schmerzen" or soul sickness that effects seemingly every aspect of our lives from culture to relationships to media consumption to general health. He also makes reference to and connects "generational curses" both local and international with the s***abuse & forced inbreeding stuff at the end of the album, probably the most popular/common way to conceptualize trauma right nown

How well he does that is up to interpretation but I do think it's interesting that he feels this is at odds with current American culture and not pretty much in line with it

Windrick

Amazing work

I just wonder, dudes who like Fresh and Fit and cheerlead them online, how do you interact with your mothers, sisters, grandmothers, daughters, etc. Do you tell them they ain't s*** to their face or do you just think it silently?
