No this is his Mr. Morale. Plus MBDTF is a triumphant war cry and this album is a bleak painful therapy session.
I mean in terms of how "grand" it sounds

not gonna lie there's a lot of moments musically that remind me of it.
@shaleirose Fantano gave that s*** an 8 like I said he would. Time to admit you were wrong man.
This dude was able to tie together radio friendly songs, rappity rap cuts, & somber songs all into a cohesive story about perception, reflection, & family.
Give him his mother f***ing flowers while he's doing this s***.
No artist in the mainstream is capable of doing this.
critics gobbled kendrick's nuts on this one but album is solid 
8/10

I like how it took for this album for people to be like, yeah, the only other guy who makes whole worlds like this is Ye.
When legends do legend s***, it really separates the wheat from the chaff
purple hearts is reminiscent of an anderson paak song from 2018-2019. Maybe Cheers with Q-tip? not sure, but I like it a lot. Wouldve loved if ghostface opened the song up
Mirror becoming my favorite track

one of the few artists like ye who was also a legend by their second album. ppl expected sophomore slumps for both of them just cause their debuts were that incredible but they managed to crush those expectations
10+ listens in I just realised this isn’t just a therapy session on Kendrick.
This is a therapy session specifically on BLACK America as a whole.
“I am. All of us”

feels more like SRS to me
Also yall think this is his MBDTF
that doesnt mean ANYTHING
feels more like SRS to me

I hear moments of this in the album too. Not quite as bleak though.
“I am. All of us”
The Kodak presence on the album makes a lot more sense in the context of this quote
Count Me Out is literally speaking to me right now. I knew I needed to prioritize myself during this period in my life but I haven’t acted on it. This time will be different. Thank you Kendrick.
