Album proves noone wants to actively engage social issues people just wanna be victims

Kendrick proved himself he doesn't wanna engage in social issues by taking a step back and saying think for yourself lol

yeah people been on Tarantino ass for that lol very common critique on him.

Brian Eno is my favorite example of this

Shambles? I don’t care about the 7.6. I’m just pointing out the facts

It’s always f*** P4K

People who review that quickly are literally just reviewing based on his reputation rather than the actual music. Tbh it’s closer to P4K’s score than the 100 meta score it currently has if we keeping it 💯

Assumed they got an early copy to review?

More thought put into the music

No making a playlist of “bangers”

That’s what they think it is. Mostly just a way for the Drake Stan’s here to justify Drake’s recent lazy approach to music

Brian Eno doesn't know theory????

WLR rated higher as it should be

Glad y’all finally realizing how out of touch this publication.

Pitchfork is run a bunch of corny white hipsters and suburban blacks. The worst to be reviewing hip hop

doubt it he was making art I think?, before getting involved completely in music, his own early music & involvements on bowies albums are him riffing his style

Wow you're right now thet I'm looking into it - you learn something new every day

there’s a interesting doc on his early career, if you’re into that type of stuff

pitchfork gave MBDTF a 10

but they are not your savior

the line about f***ing a white b****

Personally think the score is at least a little too low.
Like if they gave it a 8, I’d agree more, but these specific ass decimal place scores are kinda dumb, even if it’s just an average of everyone’s rating of the album

This album has no politics to engage social issues. It's self help in the time of a failed politic. You cannot remedy social issues on a personal level. Emphasis on "social" and "personal" if you didn't get that.

The organized religion Kendrick turns his back on is closer to a social/political entity than the political quietism, the social libertarianism he retreats to on a familial level. That's regardless of the correct morality.

People are victimized. The album makes that clear. He's addressing trauma, not preventing it. This is therapy not social change. Best case scenario it's detaching people from the stagnating existing order and readying them for something different, centered on the humanity and love here.

The albums really pretentious. Thought they would have loved it

Albums a strong 7.5

The other reviewers shouldve given gkmc those perfct scores.

why you so mad damn

Biggest pitchfork thread since ktt1? Kendrick fans keeping them in business, thought we were off that
