    It’s Amazing. The dialogue of therapy hasn’t been more fluent and clairvoyant in an album in such a long time. It helped me realize my own issues and honestly it makes every other album in this category weaker

    Man y’all crazy. Mr morale is one the best albums of the decade period. I am not even American & I can relate with it. As an african I can tell you most of the experiences he speaks about are universal. We too are going through the same struggles. I can tell you without doubt that his album was a spiritual awakening. Its deeper than you guys think. You have to be in that state, place, mental space to understand it. Its one of the best thing I have heard in a while.

    I don’t listen to much hip-hop. But K Dot knows how to make an “album” that tells a story. Reoccurring themes and melodies. A lost art form in music.
    Not to mention they are bangers.

    'Drumless hiphop'? RZA pioneered the occasional use of light percussion (not drumless) in the 90s. A few notable tracks on Raekwon's Only built for Cuban Links album. Not everyone's cup of tea. Griselda and Roc Marciano do it best.

    I like the album and I'm a fan of Kendrick but unlike most media I'm able to critique him as hard as someone I don't like. The album sounded like when someone walks in at the end of a discussion and starts to make points that had already been talked about in circles. For example, cancel culture had already got to its weakest point so Kendrick challenging it didn't hit the way it would a couple years ago when it was more risky. The LGBT discussion is another that has been played out. Lastly, music is made to be listened to. Kendrick is one of the only rappers that if people don't want to listen to the music we excuse it with how artistic and deep it is. Other artist we'd say that ain't it and trash it. If Kendrick is going to be crowned the leader of the new school I expect him to lead in thought and these discussions not just pop in give a cold take then leave again.

      "Music is made to be listened to", so this isn’t an album full of music and lyrics to listen to and digest? Or do you mean music is only there to be blindly consumed, you just wanna bop your head?
      "Movies are made to be watched", okay I can name a dozen movies that are CLASSICS and revolutionary pieces of art that aren’t made to be watched casually.

And how is the "LGBT discussion" played out? Trans- and homophobia are still important issues in society and especially in HipHop culture. You speak with an agenda if we’re being honest here…

Because if Jack replies then MGK becomes part of the conversation again without any real work and with that he can easily drop a ROCK ALBUM.

      it’s wild to think about how different we can all take things. i slowly started repeating specific songs i liked most until i found myself listening to this entire album more than any of his others. not to get too deep but, lyrically i think i can relate to this album more than others just because i’m a white guy who lives in the suburbs, so even though i absolutely loved every album, and would love to say i felt 100% of his past lyrics, i could never fully relate to a song like blacker the berry lmao.
