Album has pretty much no bars. I don't mean IG caption quotables, but like clever wordplay. 4:44 is pretty much the same subject matter and concept, but Jay was still able to show off his skills as a rapper. This is missing from Mr Morale
I don't feel like Kendrick really took responsibility for the cheating. At first he deflects with humor, at the end his mother's sexual abuse and slavery is the reason behind him cheating on his wife
The messaging is just a mess. He doesn't want to be heralded as a savior, but he's wearing a crown of thorns on the cover and in performances after
Noname was 100% right, Cole and Kendrick both look dumb in how they chose to respond to her
Some of the songs just isn't enjoyable music. I have no desire to ever listen to We Cry Together, Aunties Diaries or Mother I Sober
No bars? Nigga listen to the album again, he's rapping rapping on multiple songs. Especially on side A. Also, how can you not see the link between familial trauama and how people act out to deal with it as a result of that? Not justifying him cheating but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see that connection. Besides that, there's various studies that show the residual impact of slavery on black people. And brother, if you can't inerpret the crown as being clearly satirical, then i can't help you
Yeah I still revisit sometimes. It’s one of the better produced albums in a while and there are a lot of details to listen for
Not enough people talk about how everytime Sam Dew opens his mouth it sounds like heaven’s gates are opening
Sometimes but It's my least replayed album by him
S80, GKMC, TPAB, & DAMN has higher replay value despite having a shorter track list

Auntie Diaries is very enjoyable music, probably the best beat to come out in the last 5 years
The messaging is messy but that just makes it feel real and true to today tbh, it’s messy topics
We Cry Together is trash but the others have good music underneath the heavy content
Also who listens to Kendrick for bars, that’s never been his thing. This album is arguably even more insightful than 444 though as far as the topics
How is Armand Hammer the artist that AI tagged this with 🤔
The AI know they're big steppers
Nope
You should. It’s a lot better today than it was a year ago. It’s the only album in the 2020s so far that feels like the artist actually tried

You’re pretending that albums like DMIZ and KD series doesn’t exist

Respect to the legends Nas and Lupe but the production/music on those isn’t up to par. There’s not nearly as much meat on the bone as far as musical layers, album structure, etc
Similar respect to all the underground artists with cool little projects over loops
I know people say Morale isn’t replayable because of We Cry Together and the f word song but I find it way more interesting to go back to than the Nas or Lupe projects, which are bland musically and don’t feel nearly as fleshed out, not as much to chew on
DMIZ sounds like it was made in 3 days. Kings Disease is just a bunch of songs. You can tell every detail of Morale was labored over and thought out and the music and production was worked on more than just “ok here’s a beat, rap on it” repeat
