All art isn’t entertainment, just a pro-tip 😊

N95
Rich Spirit
Count Me Out (good song ruined by tiktok drums)
Silent Hill
Mr. Morale

Funnily enough these all flopped on TikTok while United in Grief, an actually good song, was an organic hit there

Mr. Morale wasn't mean to be super commercial and Not Like Us proved that Kendrick could easily make more commercial/club joints if he steered his focus to it.

Mr. Morale, much like TPAB, is largely stripped of commercialized songs barring a few tracks like N95 and I.

But the album was still very acclaimed, streamed well, sold well, won many awards, and sparked a high grossing tour. So, it was far from panned or a flop.

S***ty movies are bad art, some of the most ‘entertaining’ movie watching experiences of peoples lives are roasting & laughing at s***ty movies (bad art)

Mr morale wasn’t a disappointment to any mature adult.

Maybe if you only value catchy TikTok music then sure

Can you explain some of the flaws you noticed and why you don’t like it? Genuinely curious

Yall so corny to boil enjoyment of an album down to whether someone is mature or "healed". Yall really no better than "You need a high IQ to like Rick & Morty" ass niggas fr.

But yeah. But still subjectively.

It’s an incredibly nuanced conversation that involves a lot of discussion about art history and entertainment history. A type of discussion that is not apt to do well on this platform.

There really wasnt a coherent statement made w the album imo, the kyrie/kanye-like 5g/vaccine/cancel culture commentary rlly drags down the album even though the songs that were reflections on trauma were great. Feels like bro was critiquing everything without rlly delving into anything meaningful in those moments. Worldwide steppers is a great example of this like what the hell is bro actually tryna say lol

Also musically it had so many lacklustre moments like purple hearts, die hard, the baby keem interlude, silent hill, the prod just wasnt as exciting as kendricks best and the attempts at making poppy songs are like kendricks worst in his discog imo
