      Not knocking your take and ironically I just posted on my Instagram-story that Common is Kendrick’s precursor (Happy 17th to Be). Common is one of my top 10 favorite MCs ever. We gotta let it age, but for me this album attacks so much, head on, consistently through the entire album. You see the build up of the affects, to acknowledging, to addressing trauma and damage. I don’t know that any albums have detailed those stages to this extent and to this degree of relevance to issues “we” don’t address and attack as a community. ✊🏾✌🏾

    • @Charles-sq9zv
      @Charles-sq9zv 2 роки тому +3

      I don’t disagree. He seems to have evolved more to poetic verbiage than using entendres, punchlines,etc. Personally, Damn was the album that sort of disappointed me because I wanted lyrical Section 80 KDot and that project seemed to reach for slaps and hits. As far as the mindset, it seems like he is unpacking damage and trauma that hasn’t been addressed for years like many of us have let events from as far back as childhood dictate our adult lives. Earlier in his discography he pushed toward forward movement for “the people” in the struggle from an outward and onward progression. But can we really move forward without addressing the inner trauma, programmed propaganda, and damage that has us stuck in this rut of popular behavior, cliches, and mindsets that keep crippling us? This almost seems like a hold up wait a minute moment, where he is dealing with this stuff before he can move forward with tackling anything else. I just appreciate a heavy hitter tackling these topics on a big stage, in the prime of his career. At this point, with a discography of this caliber, you may not get exactly what you want every time out, but as long as there is substance and it adds value, I am good with it.

    The Album is really for those who are mature enough to listen. We have been so into what sells now that when someone provides something worth substance we tend to push it away. I enjoyed the album. I enjoyed how he choose to tell his stories and bring us into his emotions and thought process. I felt the culture needed this album. He has some bops on the album but what we need is some truths and he gave it all he had. Respect the project for what it is! Job well done! I rather he release content that is of substance and his character than half the crap they pushing out these days.

    Personally, i think Kendrick has a bigger responsibility ( spirituality) than most artists w his music. Yes, catchy music will get them to listen, which he incorporates. However, his purpose is to deliver us a message.. that man is a prophet. We all are, he just has a bigger responsibility.

    This album will eventually be looked at the same way as Marvin Gaye's "What's going on' and Lauryn Hill's "Miseducation of Lauryn Hill." Joe referenced "Mother I Sober" and that is one of the most telling songs and collaborations on the album. The title is interesting. It's gramatically in correct - it should be "Mother I'm Sober" so the "I" or the line / separation between both words is worth thinking about.

    I keep Listening to this Double Album. Every time i listen i hear something different and more nuanced. But I am 50. I am from the era where you buy albums you play them end to end and then figure out your favorites and those go on a tape that you dub from those albums. But you can't do that anymore in this microwave society. Well I can because i still have CD player, record player and tape. So I am used to listening to something to get the whole vibe of someone's work.
    This album to me in my humble opinion was a front row seat into his therapy sessions this is HIS life and what HE went through, there is nothing on here that was preachy to me, if anything he held a mirror up to himself, society and the culture which could not have been easy. There is nothing to party and bullshit to in this world anymore. This is what killing your ego sounds like and stepping up and taking personal responsibility for your actions as it pertains to your career, your life, your wife, your children, your legacy as it pertains to one's mental health and while watching and maneuver through the world around you. I love this work, All of Kendrick Lamar's Projects are different and move me in different ways. I really dug it. Favorite tracks, from Side one is United in Grief (In Chicago, This shit hits different, sounds Very Chicago and If i know the cats in the city who bang these house parties, they are going to do a mix for it, i can feel it. LOL. ) We Cry Together because Toxic Relationships are king right now and that shit needs to be talked about right now more than ever. Purple Hearts, Ghostface showed out on that you can really feel the emotion. Summer Walker's vocals are beautiful and pack a punch.
    Side B stand outs are Crown, Auntee Diaries, Mother I Sober, (as a Portishead fan, shiiiiiittttttt! Big Surprise!) And Mirror.
    But I have not stopped listening to this double rekkid straight up and down since it came out.
    Remember Music is subjective. So everyone one is right weather you like the album or not. In my humble opinion, everyone is not ready to hear or deal with this music, its def going to age well.

    I like 1-18 songs I really cared less for the Aunties Diaries song, other than that I've been letting the album play without skipping a song ever since it came out May 13, 2022. It's refreshing and soothing.

    @11:40 I Definitely Agree With You.. I Feel Like Disc 1 Is The Big Steppers And Disc 2 Is Mr. Morale... Right Now My Top 3 Favorite From Each Disc Are (Rich Spirit, Father Time, Die Hard) & (Count Me Out, Savior, Mirror)

    I don't know any rap songs that goes so much in-depth instead of breadth like Father Time, Auntie Diaries, and Mother I Sober in recent years. This the same reaction towards TPAB where people just want bops like GKMC and DAMN.

      No people didn't react to TPAB the same way as this album because TPAB was an instantly great album from first listen.
