It’s my least favorite Dot album by far, but I respect it, it’s clearly had an influence and Father Time and Mother I Sober are generational classics
I had a cool first listen experience outside a balcony overlooking the beach
I don’t really revisit this album like I do his others however
I have a certain mood that I revisit it for
Like when I wanna hear music but nothing that's shallow or when I'm alone in my thoughts tryna process something
Perfect vibe for that
tbh there’s a difference between just the experience as a kid in compton to talking about all the darkest secrets in your life and family
Yeah but given how introspective he’s been his entire career, it makes sense we’d get an album with this level of vulnerability.

For sure I may blow the dust off and give it a spin this week
It's funny how the transition from Morale to GNX has mostly the same points brought up comparison wise as the transition from TPAB to DAMN. Like the exact same word for word lmao. And it'll be the same thing between the next 2 albums unless Kendrick breaks the accessable -> less accessable formula he been doing since GKMC
You think?
I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like TPAB. The production is INCREDIBLE and if you grew up with parents who liked funk, a lot of it was right at home
I dig how raw and personal Morale is conceptually. It’s a step down from his other albums production and song-wise imo and that wasn’t true for TPAB at all
you cant deny anything. generic messaging, meandering production & uninspired lyrics. mad to think it took 5 years
lol

I'm speaking strictly on the transition between the albums. I see a lot of "GNX is cool but it lacked the substance of morale" and "Kendrick sold out to go mainstream" type comments and that's exactly what people said about DAMN. at the time it dropped.
not really because i knew of his reputation before the album dropped. he just mixes up new age philosophy and eastern philosophy in a beige mush for 40 year old office workers to buy in the millions
it’s helping people reconnect with themselves and they family/children so
idk what you on about lol

Oh well this is ridiculous
Imagine hearing the lyrics on Damn (or GNX) and thinking Kendrick was watering down the message at all
People hear good beats and well made songs and call it ‘going mainstream’ or ‘selling out’

even if bro is a fraud and a charlatan as long as you got something out of it then good
personally i never heard of dude before the album and it was definitely therapeutic never cared to look into who he was. didn't matter to me

i just about the power of now
heard about him on the album
listened to his podcast, heard people’s personal stories and his advice
didn’t realize people were spending time hating
that’s the internet tho
im never really overtly emotional when responding to art but i remember shedding tears to auntie diaries and mirror
why is it bait you generally don’t overshare with the whole world your own therapy sessions. i wouldn’t share my doctors appointments results with a plumber
comparing sharing vulnerable stories and lessons about your life and experiences through a concept narrative album to sharing positive negative test results with a plumber lol
I’m doing u grace by just dismissing this as bait cuz it’s so so so dumb lol
