Kendrick Lamar's Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers Is TRASH [Review/Rant]

Kendrick Lamar Meet The Grahams & Euphoria - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers Is Mid/Trash (Review/Reaction/Rant), The Heart Part 5 & N95 - Hip-Hop Universe In this review, I share my thoughts on the new Kendrick Lamar album which in my opinion is somewhere between bad & mid, considering the 5-year-long wait & my overall expectations for one of the best rappers of all time. I don't think the album comes close to To Pimp A Butterfly, Good Kid M.A.A.d. City, Damn & Secion 80. Kendrick Lamar fell off. Released as a double album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers is Kendrick Lamar’s fifth and final studio album with Top Dawg Entertainment. TDE founder and CEO Anthony Tiffith teased fans during a May 2020 Instagram Live, saying “Stay patient” and “King Kendrick will return soon.” Tracklist: 1. United in Grief 2. N95 3. Worldwide Steppers 4. D. Hard 5. Father Time 6. Rich (Interlude) 7. Rich Spirit 8. We Cry Together 9. Purple Hearts 10. Count Me Out 11. Crown 12. Silent Hill 13. Savior (Interlude) 14 Savior 15. Auntie Diaries 16. Mr. Morale 17. Mother I Sober 18. Mirror On August 20, 2021, Kendrick teased his return with a new website—oklama.com—explaining that the upcoming project would be his last release with TDE: As I produce my final TDE album, I feel joy to have been a part of such a cultural imprint after 17 years. The Struggles. The Success. And most importantly, the Brotherhood. May the Most High continue to use Top Dawg as a vessel for candid creators. As I continue to pursue my life’s calling. About a week later, on August 27, 2021, his cousin Baby Keem released “family ties,” featuring a guest verse by Kendrick with multiple allusions to the highly-anticipated record. On April 18, 2022, Kendrick shared a statement revealing the project’s release date and title through his website and social media. A week before the release date, an image of Kendrick holding two CDs was shared via oklama.com, driving speculation that Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers would be a double album, which turned out to be accurate. On May 8, 2022, Kendrick surprise-dropped “The Heart Part 5” with an accompanying music video that saw his face morphing into stars like Kanye West and Will Smith. Three days later, Kendrick took to social media to reveal the album’s cover art, shot by Renell Medrano. He didn’t unveil the album’s tracklist until its release, leaving fans hyped up until the final moments before the drop. #hiphopuniverse #hiphoprankings Hip-Hop Countdowns Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNxrdTjgEbxy6F0guJapZy-v9FNzumVT0 ___________________________ Hip-Hop Universe Discord Server: https://discord.gg/hiphopuniverseofficial Official Hip-Hop Universe Merchandise: https://teespring.com/de/stores/hip-hop-universe-shop Outro (prod. by Phat Crispy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7wQYIs30Kw Become a new Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKOlU7SLdtqmOx1w0nyAPtw/join Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hiphopuniverse ___________________________ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiphopuniverseyoutube/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/hiphopuniverse3 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiphopuniverse_official
