this is such bullshit.

The first goal of entertainment is to entertain. I dont care about the intent of various art projects. If it’s a creative piece, fine. Dont ask people to listen to it then.

There really wasnt a coherent statement made w the album imo, the kyrie/kanye-like 5g/vaccine/cancel culture commentary rlly drags down the album even though the songs that were reflections on trauma were great. Feels like bro was critiquing everything without rlly delving into anything meaningful in those moments. Worldwide steppers is a great example of this like what the hell is bro actually tryna say lol

Also musically it had so many lacklustre moments like purple hearts, die hard, the baby keem interlude, silent hill, the prod just wasnt as exciting as kendricks best and the attempts at making poppy songs are like kendricks worst in his discog imo

N95
Rich Spirit
Count Me Out (good song ruined by tiktok drums)
Silent Hill
Mr. Morale

Funnily enough these all flopped on TikTok while United in Grief, an actually good song, was an organic hit there

Definitely, people were clowning the album when it dropped, especially on here. Complete 180 at this point

He was still on a record breaking tour for Mr Morale last year and on major gigs like headlining Glastonbury. any time Kendrick returns after a break with a single/feat has always been an exciting moment, this is just to a larger extent cus came out the gate with two #1 hits in 6 weeks and won a major battle

Yall so corny to boil enjoyment of an album down to whether someone is mature or "healed". Yall really no better than "You need a high IQ to like Rick & Morty" ass niggas fr.

Legitimately one of the stupidest things I've ever read

I don’t think he was necessarily trying to make a statement with the album like past albums. The interludes let me know that this album is supposed to play like Kendrick just venting out all his thoughts to his therapist and attempting to understand why he did what he did with the help of Whitney and the therapist and himself accepting his traumas.

So track 14 ruined the album for you? That’s fair lmao. And idk I really enjoyed the beats and sound direction he decided to take on here, it was refreshing to what I’ve grown used to, much like damn. I guess I just don’t hear the “pop approach” everyone keeps referring to, but I’m sure it exists if you noticed it.

Purple Hearts and the Keem interlude:duckhah: we just gonna have to agree to disagree on that one

Mr Morale was dope as f*** to me genuinely

But I do think the next album will definitely be better, I don’t think Mr Morale was a super inclusive album like it was for a certain type of person while I think this album probably will have more wide appeal

Yeah i can get that reading of the album, to me was just still disappointing musically but yeah thats obv subjective to ur taste, personally i dont see it w baby keem so a lot of those moments didnt resonate with me

Also i fw saviour, its one of my fav songs on there cause theres a clear message
