I think the topics being this gutting make it seem like he opened up waaay more

when he's been telling us alot that about himself and his familymembers (this album he chose different stories/familymembers to present to us)

he rapped about his lil sister being a teen mom for example

and alot of the bars about not being perfect was adressed on TPAB and DAMN

Im not sure but I think he also spoke on infidelity or hinted towards it on previous records

I think the theme of the album is that the big steppers are people who step up to actually confront our issues in society and that the tapdancing all over the album is to represent how people and culture tapdance around hot button topics but never seem to really want to actually fix any of it, only using them at this point to virtue signal or grandstand/get likes etc. And I think a lot of it has to do with s***crime and s***equality as well and how we treat each other over it when it comes to image, be it homosexuality or being seen as weak because of molestation or what have you, so people mask it and hide it deep down and project their feelings onto others in toxic ways and the cycle continues instead of actually addressing it and attempting to openly speak about it in a way that is helpful.
especially now with how you may get your character assassinated or discredited for voicing your opinion or stating your own personal views or how you really feel about it, even if it is wrong or misguided.

edit: want to point out as the album goes on, the tapdancing gets shorter and shorter, and kendrick begins to open up more and more on these issues as well as his own until we get to the end of the album where he talks about a lot of deeply personal experiences as well as revealing who or what Mr Morale is.

by definition;

so taken literally, Mr Morale is freeing his mind and leading by example in being what everyone wants him to be, but doing it his own way because he has the confidence that it will actually help change things, because he has respect and loyalty of the industry and his fans and faith that it will help shape the future.

Morale is high because he had the confidence to go against the norm and say what he has to say, how he wants to say it, and he is finally freeing his own conscience as well as being conscious
enough to be aware of his surroundings that he is able to speak on things he has buried deep down and by finally doing so has broken a "generational curse"

yeah and it also shows how plastic and non-human like he became in the process, and I dont think he doesn't think ab that from time to time

I think Fantano's DAMN review he brought up that Kendrick does kinda revolve around the same subject matter on all his albums just in different ways. As most artists do. (unless you ye)

but nah he never touched on infidelity on his other albums. He never even said Whitney's name before this album lol.

He’s a rich, isolated guy. He doesn’t talk to people who aren’t worshipping him or expecting professional opportunities. And he already wrote tracks about not being a savior. Right, we know! He wrote tracks about this in TPAB and DAMN; at some point, he’s just whining in the void about this. If he had just talked to his uncle, btw, he would have known that not misgendering him on an album track is pretty, pretty obvious.
