Silent Hill hook and Kendrick verse are kinda mid not gonna lie

He barely said s*** on that song

@BigPapi

niggas really hate kendrick now

I was a Kendrick stan. This album killed it for me. I am seriously dissapointed and its both the music and the message of "nah i am out. I am not gonna be y'all savoir. I am just out here cheating on my wife and stuff" Cool that he got his s*** off but maybe make it musically more compelling ffs.
The album has some amazing songs but the whole project ain't it.

It’s not bad, and I wouldn’t say it’s dated, it might not be the most modern or futuristic production but it’s still very good

I agree for a few hooks, like die hard and purple hearts (i don’t feel those songs)

but the album is amazing my man

and who else raps on worldwide steppers beat ?

also united in grief has crazy good production

His name is Gon Freecss

Quelle Chris did WWS first iirc

That beat is par for the course in the underground today

True that s*** was the worst on Mr. Morale. Kendrick went on autopilot to accommodate Kodak and that was the wrong creative choice imo

Cap

Best production of any rap album this year easily.

32 pages of what? how is this s*** still going?

Yeah it really bugged me that we got any “autopilot Kenny” vibes on there after such a long wait. I expected him to be able to balance his strengths and message with a sound like that better if he was gonna go for it. He had time to perfect his version of that style

There’s some lyrics I like on Die Hard and Purple Hearts but I similarly kind of almost felt like we were getting soundtrack Kenny/feature Kenny type vibes on the verses

Classic bait post

Who am I baiting

All I had to read was autopilot kenny
U trying to invent a new name for him thats hilarious

@op explain How the production sounds dated?

if that message is all you got from the album you fr missed the point

32 pages for this is wild

Savior >>>>>>>>>>

I also would be interested in op explaining more, dated isn’t the word I would use

Most of the beats are great but there a few that don’t hit/feel kind of cheap for a Kendrick album

Those drums on Purple Hearts are not it at all. Father Time vocal samples are cool but the beat itself is kind of bland/could’ve been on a mixtape in 2011 vibes. Pharrell kind of s*** the bed on the title track. But outside those 3 the production is great

Hooks, idk

Still a great song though. Has a Kendrick touch that can’t be replicated by others the same way.

Absolutely. I’m just sayin tho the beat itself isn’t super groundbreaking but I love how he did it

Rap album of the year

Clearly enough of us like MM&TBS to argue about it for 32 pages so ultimately OP is wrong about it being a bad album. If it was truly forgettable, we would have forgotten it.

32 pages I like the album idgaf what y’all think, but of all complaints to have imagine putting on United In Grief and thinking “ah yeah this sounds dated”
