I could stand for Kendrick to make some music with a little joy man…listening to everything since GKMC is basically like the audio form of doom scrolling

yeah but i feel like you can attribute some of your affinity to that very moment

how did you listen to this album?

I'd love to have data to back this up but I have a good feeling that the split of people that love this album and those that think this is mid is HIGHLY based on their age

baby keem probably had some of his best rapping on this interlude
very clean

he wish he was somebody anybody but himself

I would have loved Cee-lo on one of those hooks

Need more of this Kendrick. There are few moments on this with some light at the end of tunnel and listenable song structure and they are so refreshing and excellent

keep fatso off this no f***s blassic/midpack

Same way I listen to all new albums, in my room with my over ear headphones.

But it wasn’t that specific moment that made Walkin stick with me because 1) we were just driving to Target or something it wasn’t like anything special, and 2) the first time I heard Dreamin of the Past I had the same reaction and my first listen was the same scenario as Mr. Morale’s

a lot of his music is angry and introspective but there's plenty of music on tpab that's uplifting

this album is quite literally meant to be cathartic i don't know exactly how much fun is supposed to be represented lol

this album feels like kendrick said "fuck this rap s***"

Album feels refreshing and cleansing

Agreed but life is balance. If he takes this too a better more joyful place i will be rrally happy for him but i feel like he is on the edge of becoming the bitter, cynical arthouse genius poet

yeah family ties feels like a huge swerve lol

though the verse felt like something very damn-era

S*** maybe im just in a weird space personally because this feels dark and cynical to me

gimme my keys bro

Slept on it in my first spin and it’s hitting on relistens

he's pretty different each album so who knows?

tpab > gkmc > mmbs > damn

Alright I can confidently say this his best album

Way more consistent than anything he ever dropped

Also has his most powerful song to date Mother I sober

I’m 5 listens in and I do think I’m confident in saying this is my least favorite Kendrick album

this one feels different

Like this ain’t a era we in like his previous albums. this really him

Shut the f*** up when you hear LOVE talking
