Hot take: I think the instrumental for Walkin clears every beat on Mr. Morale
Yes
father time?!?!?! HELFUCKINGLO?
Really really solid instrumental, amazing even. Didn’t blow me away like Walkin and Dreamin of the Past though
It’s one thing to not like something but to say some of these beats on this album aren’t good or didn’t blow you away is f***ing ridiculous????
The f*** you pretentious niggas expect?
Demons from the 8th dimension screaming in a triplet hi hat form while cats moan a medley from heaven?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Wait now everyone is s***ting on denzel??
if you switched the names on both he in kendricks last albums everyone would still be saying kendricks album is way superior
Denzel is cool, I still fw Imperial heavily.
For whatever reason the new album hasn't really clicked with me. I like it, it has great production and is right up my alley in terms of genre but it seems kind of low energy and uninspired compared to his very best work. It might be better than Mr. Morale but I'm not sure I like it more.
on holiday in a diff country when he comes to the closest city to me
Damn!!

Lmao I never said any of the beats weren’t good. I said the production is amazing throughout, but it never had any moments where it blew me away like certain beats on other rap albums this year.
What I’m saying is that Kendrick himself is the focal point of this album, not necessarily the production. It serves its purpose, but it’s not as outstanding as some other rap production we’ve heard this year
I want you to know how much ifw u for this bro. been waiting until I got off work to tell you that we see eye to eye fully on this and I've appreciated feeding off of you these past few days
I'm coming to realize that I don't really have an opinion on the album. I have judgments about his messaging and proclamations, like the hip hop in its twilight years point that I made, but asserting myself in the very game he's making a broad point about disavowing feels obsolete given how in depth he's going on here
been a pleasure chopping it up with you too man, I’ll keep an eye for your username for sure. Really appreciate your thoughts too!
I respect that though, about not having an opinion
the more I listen the more I understand that at least one major part of this album is an intensely personal catharsis for Kendrick to even say all of this. Like, at the end of the day, it’s for him more than us lol

I understand completely. I dont think its super great either but i think it has some great moments but he does need to bring back some more energy

That was my knee jerk reaction. I respect your opinion tho

I’m not s***ting on him. He not Kendrick level but he still a great artist.
idk
Walkin is pretty chill and a great beat but i dont find it nearly as interesting or varied as production on this album
kendrick's inflections do add a lot though

My homie played Walkin in the car for me one time in January and the beat was stuck in my head for literal months, I’m not even a huge Denzel fan
damn bro am i gonna die soon or some s***
you got me reading this like it's about to be the fall of rome or something are we going to be ok
Hey man, it’s strange times we live in, but at least we’re alive. People have made through weirder periods in history. Best we can do is be the best we can
