I don’t think his goal was to create an album full of hits. And I don’t think he spent 5 years working on the album because he also had 2 children in those 5 years. I think this album was made for him and anyone who wanted insight into his life I feel like if he wanted to make an album to appeal to everyone and get a lot of radio play he could have but in my opinion I think he just made an album that he himself wanted to make and it’s not going to be for everybody and throughout the album I think he’s asking you not to compare him to anyone else and telling you that he is not a savior or a god. It seems like you didn’t really listen to the album because you can’t bump it or play it a party it’s artwork not a club disc

Saw the title of this video after listening to the album a few times. Couldn't believe it. Watched the video. Still couldn't believe it. Honestly I've got two theories. One. Hating on popular artists to get clout and attention. Or two. Everything just goes over their head because they're so accustomed to the overproduced garbage that's on the radio. The garbage with no story to tell. No lyrics that hit you someplace personal. I'm not sure what you're looking for. But if drake is your #1 rapper of all time that kind of says it all.

This guy is very close-minded. Seems like he doesn’t like any innovations or any risks taken. He’s only expecting pure rap, the way a rapper would perform in a battle, his capacity of freestyling and or his complex and diverse vocabulary (the more different words are used in a song, the more talented a rapper is according to him). Like he’s stuck in the 90’s. It makes his reviews way too subjective, from a perspective of someone who sticks to the 90’s standards. He isn’t considering the more artistic/ conceptual aspects of hip hop albums, or the influences of other music genres in it. Only « true » hip hop matters. That’s why he doesn’t consider TPAB like one of the best rap albums ever made, or doesn’t consider Kanye or Tyler to be great rappers with great projects, regardless of their delivery, flow or pure old head perspective of ability to rap.

[@troydashow]

This is what happens when you’re inflexible and out of touch with the intended audience. I get that you think Kendrick stans are a great deal comprised of white suburban SJWs who like “edgy” and “progressive” music but there’s something that’s going on in the music industry that you’re missing: the shedding of genres. People got mad at Kanye for 808s. People hated on Tyler for Flower Boy, Igor, Call me… well, all his albums, really. Another Kendrick album that got hated on was Untitled. People said they were too edgy or too R&B, too pop, too jazzy. Why should artists be pigeon-holed into making one sound? Why are black artists more so pushed into rap/r&b and told they can’t deviate from the style we’re used to or their music is “wack”? I ask that before you formulate your opinion on Kendrick or this album look at the heart part 5. The video and the song itself. It’s a masterpiece. Why? Because if you look sincerely at the message, digest it, and rewatch it, and relisten, you’ll be moved to tears. It’s about Black American culture. Which is hip hop. Hip hop is more American than baseball or apple pie or NASCAR. I can’t think of anything more quintessentially American than hip hop, which has in part served as the voice of black culture in America. My point is when you have someone like Kendrick who has done such a SERVICE to the culture via Heart pt 5 or any number of his other anthems that define a portion of culture, an era, a time capsule or a place, you don’t get to call him trash. He’s revered because his artistic creations have been so monumental in THE CULTURE that he speaks of. He says he’s not a savior because he’s not one. If you actually listen it’s not a conflicted message but his struggles living as a flesh and blood imperfect man, with the spirit of God coming out of him (as it does in all of us), striving to be “Christ-like” while being human and flawed. That being said, he made “DAMN”, “Blacker the Berry”, “Good Kid Maad City”, “Levitate”, “DNA”, “XXX”, “Money Trees”, and so much more - so yes if he just recorded an album of him farting it would be weird but he’s still revered to the culture at large. And to consume hip hop - a fruit of the culture - you should respect the culture before you do another “hot take”. Respectfully.

Man, as someone who grew up listening to early 80s-90s rap MCs, your approach to trash talking Kendrick's album comes off as hateful and uniformed about artistic and musical merit. I never cared for Kendrick til this album. I heard the first few tracks on this production, and I think what he's creating is a new sound and texture for the art form. I cannot help but hear your critique as anything more than a collection of complaints. And as a fellow fan of boom bap era rap, I thoroughly disagree with your view and think Kendrick's album deserves another unbiased listen.

Music is an art form, but it’s still music. You still actually need to enjoy the music without having to write a 5 page analysis on what Kendrick meant in a verse. Not only that but plenty of other artists have made meaningful songs without trying to sound this metaphorical. First song that comes to mind is Apparently- J cole.

90s made good music, it's literally called the "golden age" for a reason. That is why people who like that hip-hop will also call out when something just isn't up to par quality wise. We shouldn't encourage going backwards. The fact is that a lot of hip-hop has been trash in comparison in modern times, as with a lot of things people aren't creating as amazing things as they used to, it's probably a lot because of today being more about fast, quantity, it's the society and times, so less quality is a logical outcome. You can see it in a lot of things, like while there are great movies today as well, if you look at in general the average movie isn't very good, while you can go in the 90s and you'll find a lot of good movies were made. HHU isn't strictly 90s btw, so that's false.

And I fell in love with, like, half of it. I still didn't like some of the songs but at least half of them surprisingly grew on me really fast. I then, finally listened to the second disk one more time because i'd gone through the worst part of my life and wanted to listen to the entire album to past the time; and just like that I fell in love with all the other songs. I feel like you just really need to be in a certain mood to comprehend what you're listening to and sometimes that takes multiple listens, but after that it goes from "Wtf is he talking about? Ts is ass." to "Oh shit, I relate to that and see what he means, i'm in love"

"That's shit people deal with on the daily." --- ok cool. do i wanna hear about it 24/7? nope. i'm already inundated with that garbage on twitter, on facebook & on the front page of youtube... i don't care about it. my entertainment is an escape from reality, i don't wanna be reminded of how i'm underprivileged because of my race in my music too. i'm bIack & i'm sick of hearing about race & these identity politics related topics tbh. sh!t gets old... fast. "It's a great album and to say it sucks is insane." --- its alright. by far kendricks worst project to date. he cared more about catering to the woke crowd by speaking on these issues , than actually making the music good. you care more about what he's saying, than how it sounds. at the end of the day, the music still needs to sound good. if i want a message & want to be preached at, i can go to church for that. "If you don't like it, fine, but sucks? Hell nah." --- i don't like it & most other people don't like it either. i knew something was up when critics gave it perfect scores & the general public hates it. that shows the critics are out of touch with the listeners, the people who buy the product. this always happens with "woke" movies & TV... movies like Moonlight, that tackle "woke" topics like LGBT issues or other agendas the media forces down people's throats, these type of things, critics always give perfect scores to. if it has a "woke" message, they'll rate it high... if its just fun entertainment or is fanservice aimed at the fans, the fans will like it but critics will rate it low... this is why i no longer listen to critics. if its woke, they'll always rate it highly. no matter if its actually good or not. thats what this kendrick album is. its the music equivalent of "oscar bait" ken knows it will be highly regarded by critics if it has a woke message or speaks on woke topics" like race, gender identity. so he focuses on pandering to the woke crowd, instead of just making a good project like Good Kid Maad City.

Mr. Morale is actually pretty mediocre. And you can't change my mind. If you try, it will just further expand my idea that we as a society were gaslit to believe Kendrick's return, regardless of whatever it was going to be, was going to be another godly project. In reality, we got a fake deep album with Kendrick trying a bit of everything instead of giving a focused effort on one direction (this is what happens when you stray away from your industry 5 years. You are notoriously out of the loop). It isn't a bad album by any means, but it isn't comparable to TPAB, GKMC, not even to DAMN. In those albums, Kendrick knew what he was doing and sounded confident, like a guy who knows he's king. Even in Family Ties it sounded like he was still the same vicious rapper he'd always been. Mr. Morale sounds like an album that was thrown together in a couple of months with a production that makes it sound all grand, but the essence just isn't there. It feels... forced. I definitely think the pressure to make a Kendrick worthy album must have been crushing, but don't fake it. I would have happily waited for another 5 years if that would have taken for him to be confident in his shit and just do his thing. Not rush the thing and hope that the Kendrick name carries the project. I really hope his next album brings my GOAT back. If not, I might have to give that title to Cole.

I would like to believe that the profanity justification is also just that he's older and used to people saying that around him from when he was growing up, sometimes not in a really hateful way (I think Eminem had an interview where he explained that this was sort of the case for him), but since I know pretty much nothing of HHU's background, other than that he's from somewhere around Europe, I'm really not sure how accurate my belief is.

This song is even more relevant now based on how people are responding to this album.”

[@wesm5683]

Couldn't agree more with this review and all the points you made - someone needs to say it. I've always felt Kendrick has been massively influenced by past greats (by his own admission) to the point he _tries too hard_ to be like some of the deep, legendary characters that he looks up to (in a desperate effort to be one of them himself) because of how they made him feel as a young fan; particularly 2pac. In turn he obviously now wants to be viewed with the same admiration as an artist himself. The religious symbolism and being a vessel for God. The defiant, activistic, truth spreading persona with the profound social commentary, the romanticised urban cult figure awaking the youth to cultural hardship and expanding consciousness etc. It just doesn't come across as particularly impressive or profound in Kendrick's case for me, because it feels too forced, calculated and *theatrical.* like he's portraying the character he wants to be in an effort to be culturally iconic, it's all too OTT and gets so tiring. Also adding a modern pseudo-intellectual twist, dropping new-age buzz words like "consciousness" and "chakras". I can imagine to a younger person who isn't familiar with the shtick he's pushing here, and also who hasn't studied earlier hip hop, these repackaged concepts will come across as ground breaking and enthralling; and importantly they will also appeal to the listeners intellectual ego and make them feel like they are witnessing the works of some kind of enlightened modern street prophet lol With characters like 2pac it still felt raw, down to earth, genuine and you could _feel_ that. Non of his material felt forced, deliberately theatrical or artistically contrived. That's why he could effortlessly bounce from one completely different subject to another, record his vocals and not even play it back and study it; he was 100% just being himself. Furthermore, I find Kendrick's flow simply unlistenable/garbage at times (But I guess I haven't listened to some of those verses long enough to truly understand and grasp the intended artistic beauty of these off-beat anomalies), his voice *whiney* and _flat out annoying,_ his beat choice mediocre/poor, and some of these drawn out song intro's which are under the guise of a poetic urban messenger -- are just try-hard, self-indulgent word salad cringe masqueraded as profound intellectual introspection. Basically it's all too try hard, I can't imagine paying to listen to this stuff.
