It comes from a place of mental health problems for sure
Yeah.
Did you also become a little worried about Kendrick?
Ngl...this s*** is a raw stream of consciousness like the Yeezus rants
Random, but anyone else feel like Dre kinda ethered Kendrick on the recipe
Kendrick deffo wrote his verse. That being said, Dre has one of the best and smoothest voices in rap. Him & Meth top 2
Yāall always says this with ppl that are reciting Kendrick verses š
Bruh I genuinely didnāt know Kendrick wrote that
Iām sensitive, I feel everything I feel everybody, one man standing on two words heal everybody -oklama
Interesting takes. Keep talking
Someone else asked me yesterday about it in here:
Kendrick often brings up being a Gemini and having two sides. I think this album is the illustration of that.
On the first side of the album, Kendrick is more bragadocious. He is more ignorant, and seems to want you to know he knows everything and doesnāt need any help figuring this s*** out. If anything, he has some stuff he can teach us. He is guarded, and above it all on the first half.
In the second half, he realizes maybe he isnāt the all knowing, and has a lot to learn. He becomes more vulnerable, and opens up more about who he is and what he has become in an apparent attempt to forgive himself and move forward. He has hope and belief in himself to grow, despite distractions or negativity.
I think Kodak and Keem personify these two sides of him on their interludes. We all have a dark side, but I also believe we all want to be good people and strive to. Kendrick is no diff. We all see him as this Jesus like figure, but he is just another man like you or I, with the same struggles. That is the cover art.
Thereās a lot more going on, but thatās the easiest way I can put it without writing a novel.

probably cause Kendrick wrote the verse
I do f*** with Kendrick but this album is kinda depressed as f***.
I almost didn't feel anything good listening to this but it's definitely a good project.
It's just like theres a dark aura surrounding the project.
I think itās a positive framing of these events by looking at it from an understanding perspective thatās been helped by going to therapy and talking through these events
Very heavy stuff but feels hopeful at the same time, especially with the last track
rich spirit top 3
real 1
We know heās been delving into the idea of Ego and s*** so i got some thoughts based off the album title (other than what ive seen online)
We know he likes using juxtaposed themes firstly. I think Mr Morale (when you break down the term) is gonna be about him looking into himself and his successes, questioning/basing his own well being off his self satisfaction and how others perceive him. It will tackle the depth of ego fragility
Big Steppers is his more braggadocio side. Flexing his atypical ego. Will be more commercially viable naturally, maybe some g-funk influences
And yeah hopefully a double album. As you can tell ive not really delved further into this but its what ive gotten from this beyond what ive seen online (big steppers being a reference to reggae influence etc)
Said i would bump this just to see how accurate it was
Kinda wish i delved further into this before release, but i never wouldāve predicted what we got. Such is the beauty of this mans artistry
Goddamn Kendrick got me tearing up before I drive to work
thank God for vizine. Cover up my tears & my high
I absolutely adore Auntie Dairies, everything about it
Incredible track
Yeah.

I know he been struggling with it for some time tho, so it wasnt a surprise. On TPAB it also became very apparent he had dealt with depression. Its very sad tho yeah. He seems to struggle a lot with himself, but so do many people. Health stays the most important thing in life
I think Count Me Out is now my favorite
One of the most well-layered songs on the album.

Don't know if you saw the dad from Turning the tables, but he cried on that track cause of his brother
Their reaction overall not really that interesting cause they don't really catch bars, but it was beautiful to see how much music can do to someone

i was literally gonna make a comment on this song just now
when i woke up this morning, it clicked for me that this is probably the most effective use of using a slur to convey a meaningful message since Bob Dylan's Hurricane...so damn near 50 years
