Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers (Review)
Been a long time Kendrick fan and was excited to finally give this a listen. This album has depth. Lyrically Kendrick is great on this. From an artistic perspective this album is also quite dense. It often feels like listening in on a therapy sessions. Unfortunately, I think the album fell short when compared to the rest of his discography. I’d consider this to be his worst release to date as I don't feel like there is a ton of replay value. A lot of the songs are just plain hard to listen to and require a skip. The beats, and artistic nature of a lot of the songs just don't lend that well to something you want to hear on your playlist.
With that said, my favourite songs are:
- "N95"
- This is the undisputed banger on the album.
- "Silent Hill"
- This beat is clean
- “Purple Hearts”
- Love seeing Ghostface make an appearance on the album. Ghostdini vibes with this one.
Curious of other peoples thoughts?
Verdict: (5/10)
