2 years later the culture now understands Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers
nah yall just fell for kendricks proaganda lol. album is mid. his flow are mid. he tries to hard to be "deep".
@@trsitiannieblaOVhoe
@trsitianniebla kendrick isn't trying to be deep. He's just speaking what he's learned. Idc if you thought it was hard or not, but he's actually trying to affect change for the better in his music.
@@em.dot.2 i understand eveyrthing he said on that album i just thought alot of the flows were boring
@@em.dot.2 i think its partially him trying to affect change and partially a narcissistic need to be "deeper" and "different" from the masses.
which is why i thought it was boring. it was very self engrnadizing. but hey tbh maybe im just projecting ngl
Kills me when listeners say kendrick is preachy when he’s literally just speaking on his own experiences. he’s never telling the listeners what they need to do.
Man’s literally telling everyone “I am not your saviour”
"Preachy"??? People can be a bit annoying.
Exactly how tf is he peachy
My exact thoughts, though I recognise people who draw ignorant conclusions listen from a limited perspective. You can share a message but you can’t force somebody to hear it if they aren’t tuned in.
💯💯💯
Drake is a new car , Kendrick is a new home. Only 1 appreciates over time.
That’s a great analogy
🔥
what a great analogy
That’s your opinion. Drakes albums age like wine.
@@jasperwhat5033 prison toilet wine
Kdot : I’m not your savior .
People : oh my God he want to preach us
Honestly that comes from the 90s when you’re kicking knowledge your preaching in the hood 💯
Literally!
😊😊😊😊
I’m not this hip hop Christ y’all say I am…but I’m gonna dress like Christ with a crown of thorns with blood dripping while I perform on stage .That’s that hypocritical bs!!
😂😂ppl need time they are slow
This album has aged very well. Listening to it two years later and it hits differently.
Mother I sober had me in tears man. This album is an emotional trip. It’s not for quick consumption. It’s not a playlist. It’s really art. Some people are soooo numb to experience/feel music these days.
Yooo, I cried on that track too man…..it was a roller coaster track.
Guys just wanna bop and keep it moving unfortunately
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
It's the nature of a true artist
I cry everything when I hear it. Played the album for my father and he balled when “Mother I sober” played. I was like ok it’s not just me!😭
Love seeing proof that everybody didnt just love Kendrick and hate drake lol. As a kendrick fan its alot of new fans claiming they always rooted for him💀
💯💯💯 Shit pisses me off. All them times we as Dot fans argued when people said Kdot was boring and a poetry rapper, now those same people saying they've been there since section 80 😂
Exactly!!!!
@@MrOhioPlayerthey ant been there since section 80 all these band wagon dudes kill me
No Kendrick album sounds the same. I can appreciate that
never know what you getting good or bad 🤷🏾♂️
nobody can say that!! no rapper
@@vibe4roy U know what u getting with a rapper like Drake 🤣🤣 same ole shit tho
@@vibe4roy i hear ppl say they kdot fans but calling this album trash🤣😂🤦🏾♂️
@@deshundillard1337 its not trash its just different & ppl want what they want from kendrick but he chose to make the music HE wants to hear/release
Stop playing with me b4 i turn you to a song hit SO much different now LOL
This album is growing. And growing and growing.
And it will always be there. Holding relevance.
Mature , well rounded , content heavy , story telling , this album was needed for the culture ..Classic in my opinion
Thank you.
Same. It’s Kendrick’s 4th classic album. This album will age BEAUTIFULLY.
This album is going to be crucial for the culture to grow and improve, instead of being stagnant with death and pharmaceuticals
One can only hope
a state of the culture (no pun) true, is it gonna do anything to/for it? in that sense idk. that'd be cool, I hope so, but idk.
Yes I think artist will take their music & craft serious & this is a therapeutic album , hopefully this will take a turn for artist to make better content
Even if it’s not all of us, it will grab some of us,. Jay said, “it’s crazy how one verse could fuck up the game”……so the odds in my optimistic opinion, is……it’s gonna change shit. Maybe not now, but it will. Jus waiting on time, I think this nudges us silently to better times.
@Certified Big Dog just like you apparently
Drake: you can digest his albums with one listen and it loses value over time.
Kendrick: you have to listen two or three times and it gains value over time.
Entertainment vs Artistry-that simple.
A difference between accomplishments and astonishments
1000%%!!!
You got this the other way around
💯💯💯💯
Factz...
I remember listening to To Pimp a Butterfly and didn't like it on the first listen. My boy told me to give it a fair listen. After listening to it again while doing some computer work, I called my boy and apologized. I told him this was the greatest hiphop album in my life.
🤣 🤣 🤣 “I called my boy and apologized and told him it’s the greatest hip hop album in my life”
Lmao 🤣 do you corny mofos even read the shit you type???? You people are nuts.
People that didn't like Wesley's Theory on first listen gross me out. If you don't like funk, stay the hell away from me.
I'm with you on that 100!

Never let Ish talk about music again
ISH BEEN A HATER.
It's crazy seeing it
Didnt say a word for a whole 12 mins 💀💀
Crazy
He only said like 5 words lmao
Yhoooo..! Everyone is chipping in about something positive and he’s just sitting there STRAIGHT hating! This man must’ve been hired to hate on Kendrick every chance he gets
I see the criticism of this album and I am reminded of Jay-Z “dumb down for my audience”. Thinking is not in vogue these days. This is an incredible work of art. And like any good piece of art, you can derive new ingredients and messages every time you consume it. Ordered the double LP vinyl version today, first time that I have purchased hip-hop on wax since the 90’s.
So whats your actual opinion on the album like the content in it
@@MFBOOM100 alot of the people who like this new album are LGBT that's why they love this album so much because it's pushing LGBT propaganda.
Sounds like you’re saying Kendrick is only for “smart” people… 🥴 That seems like a reach, tbh. (Btw, apologies if I’m misunderstanding you.) Not to sound like a jerk, but I got Kant, Sartre, Durkheim, Nietzsche, and a bunch of others on my bookshelf. 🤷🏾♂️ I don’t think it’s a question of people being scared to think deeply or being shallow, imo. Music is largely based on feeling, no?
@@ManessahIsrael No LGBT don’t like that he uses the f word multiple times
@@Kickinthescience Here's what the LGBT is really saying:Kendrick Lamar's 'Auntie Diaries' Is a Powerful Trans Support Song - Variety
May 13, 2022 - Kendrick Lamar's new album “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers” includes the song “Auntie Diaries,” which addresses trans acceptance
Two years later and I love this album more and more. The album is timeless and aging beautifully.
People keep talking about replayability and how the album isn't really something to bump all the time and I'm confused. I've listened to this shit probably 50 times over since release, and he's got some real bangers on this album despite what all the novices and haters say. Absolute classic, magnum opus, this man deserves an actual crown at this point! 👑
Nick the moron says it has replay ability so it must be true.
Most people aren’t not running this shit back. Maybe a track or two.
“Absolute classic” 🤣 Kendrick could’ve farted on the album and you would’ve been fan boying.
@@mgggg78897 but he didn’t fart so what’s your point?
@@mgggg78897 I mean, I'm not a fan of section 80, Butterfly is not my favorite either, so I wouldn't say I'm fanboying over everything he does.
I will say I struggle with mental health issues, Father Time is 100% my experience with my dad who left my family for another family, and I have a lot of trauma from shit that rings true on this album. It's a brilliant piece of art. Maybe not the best hip hop album for some, but a great example of why he has a Pulitzer and rappers like J Cole don't.
Also, secret track 19 on the album is called Fart and is just him farting for 5 minutes and that shit is still better than anything White Drake (Harlow) has put out in his entire career. 💯
@@mgggg78897 Where is the evidence to back this up? The overwhelming majority of hip hop fans recognize that he's great at what he does even if they don't like all of his work.
Y'all disrespecting pimp a butterfly too much😂😂
Right!
its the greatest hiphop album of all time.
@@WilliamDailyReacts nah, it's on of, then you gotta think about, watch the throne, college drop out, 444, Tupac makaveli
The greatest hip hop album ever since me against the world!
I think Joe in particular is too intimidated by it because he realises there is no way in hell he could ever back in his rapping days have made something that profound. Stick to Pump it Up lmao
I just listened to it, i was too fearful of listening it, sat on it since drop. I listened with headphones, my eyes closed and laid back. Im commenting this because i don't know this feeling im feeling, im uneasy, the word to describe my experience doesn't come to mind. Im left speechless. Kendrick is a 1 out of 7 billion artist. What we're witnessing right now is a blessing, his poems and artistry will get taught in schools to the next generations. Thank you Kendrick Lamar.
I completely understand this comment/feeling.
I too was fearful...you hit it right on the head ;articulated this well. Now im just worried for his safety 🥴as all of ours
I still haven't listened
His music is being taught in schools now
I agree.
This album reminds me of a younger Jay-Z’s 4:44 but from a black man in his 30’s. This was not for entertainment, it’s for nourishment. All truths, real deep. Nothing was surface level. It’s a sit to yourself and open your mind.
I said the same thing.
Exactly my thoughts
Nah, 4:44 doesn't compare to what KDOT is doing on this album. 4:44 was an benign attempt of a popular rapper trying to capitalize on the conscious rap culture. KDOT is giving you a Masterclass on black culture.
@@dragonsofeden I don’t think venting in your music and giving game on the world and how to succeed counts as trying to capitalize off of something
@@blkrr1349 especially since it took him five years.
I didn't listen to rap anymore until I heard about this beef... At first I was absolutely fascinated and in awe of his lyrics and suddenly I found myself doing music therapy in such a profound and effective way! It's really amazing! God bless Kendrick!
You can tell the whole time Joe just thought this record was pure genius... blew him away.
2years of Ish unable to speak positively of Kendrick. His hate towards him needs prayer and deliverance.. he literally irritates me!
United in Grief, Savior, mirror, rich spirit, world wide steppers, n95, crown, we cry together, the heart and mother I be sober...... basically the whole album with these specifically on repeat!!!!
"No replay value"
N95
Worldwide Steppers*
Die Hard
Rich Spirit
Fathertime
Purple Hearts
Count Me Out

Mr Morale*
Mirror
If you can't find replay value those records im sorry for you.
My favorite song on that shit is worldwide steppers that shit is crazy
JaRule got no business being mentioned in this conversation 🤦🏾♂️🤣
Yeah, this Album is A Classic... I stand with Joe in the sentiment that He Left Earth on this one.
Mr. Morale = All that he wishes to be (Morale/Conscience)
Big Steppers = Why he wasn't, and doing what it takes to be who you want to become (Steps)
You have to have a certain level of intellect to appreciate Kendrick Lamar! This album was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This album has a ton of replay value. It's amazing with four songs dominating top ten already. Purple hearts, Rich Spirit, Father Time sitting ready to take over radio as well. Masterpiece.
That Father Time talked to my soul I never thought I might have needed to talk to someone until I listened to that song for like a hour straight🤣🤣🤣
I cant wait to listen on a one sitting. My fav album by him was tpab, so i hope its similar like they said
Wouldn’t say dominating, next week he’ll have one to0 10 song at most

Ish didn't say anything at all for more than 15 minutes? 😂😂
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.
True..guys nowadays want to act like they live their lives in clubs Monday to Sunday-bumping to bangers.Bangers come and go and they forget your ass.Kendeick produces records that when he disappears for 5 years,his return makes our dopamine rise like it's on steroids.Thats why he is relevant for years.
"The Album is really for those who are mature enough to listen" is probably the best sentence i've heard to describe this album.
Real talk
Facts well said
You’ve got bars. I agree. Well said & have a lovely day
I see why Ish is the biggest Drake glazer nah
This one of the most meaningful albums to the “real” culture since the Public Enemy era. I think this is going to age as a masterpiece and will hopefully cause rap content to pivot from this follow the leader, celebrate toxicity movement, a bit.
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. ✊🏾✌🏾
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.
Maybe if you’ve only heard like ten albums since public enemy.
Lets hope so. Hearing quotes like "Kendrick is preachy" or is "too healthy" makes me think that we may have not moved the needle much though.
@@MrASAPAB Major albums made from 90-2015ish have had to play the label games and place mainstream filler on them to appeal to the masses. Every cut on this album directly addresses an issue that black males have had to deal with in this era, no popular filler here. My catalog of hip hop is very extensive, but if you can list 20 albums since the PE era that touch issues this direct, without filler (reaches for singles) I’d love to debate.
This album is to mature. You really have to listen to it and have went through a lot of shiz that he went through or experienced through others. I love TPAB so this album I said it sounds like all his albums combined. This album is therapeutic especially with black ppl dealing with family issues and not expressing enough.
Yo I noticed that as well, the type of projects that grow on you overtime.
Exactly
I understand everything in this album and hated his delivery of his message but I understand it I went threw alot of shit he talked about we cry together, auntie diaries purple hearts etc

This whole project is something to be digested, regurgitated, and consumed again. Then wash, rinse & repeat. Its so much to unpack on this masterpiece & Im here for it until eternity. This project is timeless…

@@ManessahIsrael We love Kendrick cuz he’s real and speaks from life experience, but then wen he does just that. He’s pushing propaganda.
“Hip hop froze “ best description of that moment
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.
Sometimes art isn't meant to be liked or enjoyed. An artist's intent is to solicit contemplation and reactions, not all of them happy.
Idgaf what ppl think about the album, it got alot bad reviews, to later (after marinating for a few years) ppl changed their opinions. From a personal experience that album hit me hard. I was going thru some personal issues that on first listen i broke down in tears. I felt the tracks deep and emotionally. To me, that was a more mature Kendrick, same way i took in Eminem's revival, i saw growth.
I tried to listen to this when it first came out and felt myself getting emotional on the damn highway… never played it again until last night and whew!!! Yeah….
"Auntie Diaries is nuts". Buddy didn't even catch his own pun. 💀

Or the ride. This is the type of album you play in the background while cleaning your house.
I was expecting Joe to break the album down and go through each song and have a deep analysis… the conversation was dry with a really powerful of piece of material to expound on
This was recorded like a day or two after the album came out. If you expected someone to give this album a deep analysis that quickly, you are one weird individual.
Probably needs to sit on it some more. It’s pretty deep album
@@Largentina. I’m weird for wanting these Niggas to have concise opinions? They couldn’t even keep the conversation flowing

My first listen blew my mind... I didn't read lyrics. I plugged my pods and closed my eyes. Damn I couldn't believe my ears. Its like I was there when it was recorded and effects, panning of every instrument/vocals was perfect. On my 2nd listen, I shed a tear.

Mother I sober makes you cry 😢
I agree with Parks take and I luv the album...🔥💯🔥
Kendrick got folks reading
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 love the album. I played it a lot and will always play it. Best album i heard in a long long time… and tbh Kendrick will do what Kendrick do regardless of what people say
Phenomenal album. Still digesting it but still must say To Pimp A Butterfly is his best album still. Replay value is debatable but it’s an incredible body of work
Same TPAB is his best work but the replay on MMATBS is very low imo
Agree 100% tpab is still his magnum opus but this comes close
side 2 is absolutely flawless. and i’m sayin this as a die hard cole fan. the whole album goes. but side 2, wow.
Yeah, i knew my ears werent lying to me. That final disc really flowed better than the first, but since this whole thing is a therapy session then it makes sense that the "breakthrough" would flow better because of new found clarity.

💪🏼🤯 Word!
Am i the only one revisiting kendrick lamar reviews cause u know the new album looming
HE MADE AN ALBUM FOR HIMSELF AND ANYBODY ELSE WHO FACED SIMILAR SITUATIONS IN LIFE.
The best kind of art
Hearing a black man say I don’t fuck with to pimp a butterfly is crazy
Kdot next album gonna be biblical.
Ish is a certified hater boy
One of the biggest problems with consumption of art - music and otherwise - today is that we mostly listen to review, rate and rank but rarely to just enjoy, get something out of it and vibe.
Kendrick album was about the meaning and the lyrical value not about hits or catchy records and I think Kendrick hit his mark with that from a creative standpoint I think he did it and I think that’s all Kendrick really values and definitely him as and artist the quality not the sales
the picture threw us off but the albums arent separate as morale and steppers, hes Mr.Morale & we are the big steppers steppin around the things hes talking about on the album.
the first one is for mr.morale and the 2nd one is for the big steppers, its a mirror to show themselves to themselves
Astute observation, if I do say so myself.
Alot of this album is OVER some people's heads because it is, mature, highly cognitive, analytical, and insightful beyond the surface crap content we hear in today's rap music. Some people will come back to this album in a future phase of they're personal development and realize how great this album is.
this happened to me as a teenager. I hated the majority of Nas' I am and nostradamus albums but when I heard them over 30, blew my mind...
"ghetto prisoners", "some of us have angels" just to name a few songs - absolute masterpieces
To pimp a butterfly had alright and if these walls can talk. King kunta was a hit as well. Kendrick always had a few hits on each project.
"Alright" was the biggest song of that year, impact wise
ppl forget that
The point is none of the songs on this album are to the quality of those songs, yeah there are a couple "bangers" on this album but from a production wise and tye way he rides the beats on this album...they fall under what we know kendrick to be capable of, that is what people are saying, the heart pt5 is the kendrick we know, N95? It's a good song but it's eh overall when it comes to KENDRICK LAMAR
Depends what you mean by hit. Those songs were nowhere near the top of any charts.
Some men don’t like to take accountability for their actions. Which is why it’s getting such a stale review. I bet if he was bashing/blaming women and disregarding his contributions to the toxicity they would LOVE the album. Kendrick is unintentionally exposing people imo. We never hear a RAP album with men taking accountability. I want this to be a Lemonade type movie so bad.
Boy you damn LGBT people love this album because it's pushing the LGBT agenda and feminist garbage,what's funny is he called you fake feminist OUT on this album however but...you didn't hear that now did you lol 😂
When will you women take accountability?Aren't you women talking about how you can have all the sex in the world and you should be allowed to kill babies?Is that taking accountability?
If thats what its doing, i doubt its unintentional with kendrick.

Im still listening to this album everyday. Just went to the concert here in seattle it was amazing this album is fire.
KENDRICKS ALBUM WAS AMAAAAAZING
Nope,this is Kendrick Lamar's sellout moment because he sold out to the LGBT community on this album which is why ALOT of you LGBT people like this album.

Kendrick Lamar's 'Auntie Diaries' Is a Powerful Trans Support Song - Variety
May 13, 2022 - Kendrick Lamar's new album “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers” includes the song “Auntie Diaries,” which addresses trans acceptance
@@ManessahIsrael spamming the comments.
Mr Morale & the big steppers is a masterpiece the longer the more it will age like wine it’s so raw & therapeutic I love auntie diaries it’s gets me everytime Purple Hearts is just tremendous I can’t forget count me out , N95 , silent hill it’s just gets better & better plus die hard I just truly appreciate the honesty & just great lyrics with story telling including jazz with poetry it’s just so much in this album
To Pimp A Butterfly was crazy ! But it came after GkMC , which is honestly one of the best hip hop albums of the last decade . It’s honestly up there with the likes of illmatic, reasonable doubt , ready to die . Its everything you would want from a freshman album . Then he switched the whole script with to Pimp a Butterfly
No lie I hated on this album on the first listen. Then I gave it a second chance and I was replaying joints I skipped. Your mind gotta be open and sharp for this one.
Pause 😂 😂
Pause
Ayo... pause.
Ayoooooooo
bro whaaaaat
This album is a Masterpiece & an instant Classic !
instant Classic makes no sense
Album just came out how tf is it a classic
Jeezzzz STOP throwing that word out like that. Albums aren’t even referred to as instant classics while still being digested u almost always hear it as “it was instantly a classic” then they say talk about the reception nd how it was received nd so on nd so forth. Calling something Timeless why still fresh is dumb
@@Imeanwellshit People call albums instant classics all the time
@@tony4534 u missed the point. Term doesn’t even make sense.
I think Kendrick switch the bottom to the top because in Egyptian times, they read and write, they start from the bottom of the page
Took me three full listens to digest the album. It’s great, if you like Kendrick, you’ll like it, if you don’t, you won’t.
