Still don’t know how to rank this in Kendrick’s albums son lmao it’s weird cuz it’s so heavy, but then I find myself humming melodies from these songs in my head.

And I’m revisiting tracks from this album a lot.

Like it’s so funny that an album covering cheating, fractured father / son relationships, domestic disputes, a mothers sexual abuse, trying to relate to trans family members and such can still have songs stuck in my head.

This is fr an interesting addition to this mans discography, and like y’all said it’s an interesting character arc.

Hov, Kanye, OutKast, and Kendrick all have some pretty interesting characters in their discographies man.

Hovs and Kendrick’s kinda remind me of each other cuz they both seem to be about being brought down to earth in a way.

The man that made the cocky, god complex and misogynistic Blueprint 1 is a far cry from the dude that made the human and vulnerable 4:44.
Similar to how the young man who embarked on his heroes journey on Section 80 is the same one tearing himself open and bleeding for the world to see on MM & BS.

This is gonna sound weird but Mr Morale reminds me of a superhero story where they deconstruct the concept of a superhero and how difficult it would be to actually try to abide by those rules.

I’m sorry for the long post I’m still collecting my thoughts after sitting with this album some more

Some people are so entrenched in consumerism that they tie their identity to it in a way. So when you criticize something or someone they stan, it’s almost like a personal attack on them.

I’ve said it before but it’s like when you criticize a Marvel movie on Twitter or complain about how Marvel / Disney occupy an absurd amount of theater space mfs will start flame wars in your mentions.

Like I like Drake bro but why y’all gotta go so hard when another rapper has a high level of success?

“You don’t go outside”
“Drake sold more so he’s better”

Come on man

Haven’t visited the critic thread but I’m assuming it’s just a place for Drake stans to talk s***?

least favorite track is definitely Silent Hill rn but I still dig it...just wish Kendrick had done a little more with his verse...Kodak does a pretty good job but I prefer his interlude earlier on the album to his verse on this personally...I do like the production quite a bit

Does it actually sound "squashed" to you? I thought they did an impressive job tbh

Its mad how music you miss out on if streaming numbers is the only metric you go by, in a music forum no less! Do you really love the music or are you just doing free pr for your favorite artists?

Yeah, not unlike most Hip-Hop nowadays but in comparison with all the music I usually be listening to, it's indeed squashed. I think it would benefit so much from a bit more open and clear sound

I hate the whole outside argument cuz I’ve seen folks play music that KTT swears ain’t being played.

I remember being at a crazy party with models and s*** and the DJ dropped Hell Of A Life by Kanye

I compared em on speakers and there wasn't that much of a difference really, certain things would sound a little clearer but it made it a little bit weirder in general. I binned it
