Mr Morale solidified my status as a by-gone rap fan. If a new Kendrick album ain’t hittin for me i dont really think theres much left for me.
I didn’t like Damn either

It's GKMC by far with damn being a close second. Damn, if rumors are true, is the weirdest kinda diss album and if the rumors aren't true, it's an example of his range. GKMC, if we're really looking back, is such a fukking whatever album in terms of the discography. I love backseat freestyle but it shouldn't be at the top of your list. Money Trees shouldn't if it's the prime and earliest but lost prominent example of him getting out rapped by label talent. It isn't trash but it's just so fukking average outside of a few songs. Untitled, Unmastered is better while still hitting the same.
Section.80 should never ever be on here. If we count this as a debut like Cole's album or so far gone, you'll immediately see why these nikkas became the top 3.
People saying Mr. Morale are fukking tripping. Same with the people that voted TPaB. It had me wondering why the fukk are yall Kendrick fans really?
That, Section.80, and TPaB having the most votes while GKMC has none is fukking insane to me. Section.80 is easily better than GKMC. Just easily. TPaB is one of the best albums ever made and dropped at the perfect time, only making it more powerful in retrospect. Mr. Morale has everything in Damn, but actually done in the style you would hope from Kendrick, and not some weird "aye Drake, imma try to make songs like you but 'better'"
Idk, I'm not trusting soul that genuinely believed mr morale is worst then GKMC or Damn.

Every track even no make up. It’s probably his best album rapping wise honestly. While GKMC is his most cohesive

Good answer
It's the perfect personification of Kendrick. It's the album that immediately let you know this man is a star, and a unique one.
They all dope...but i vote damn

To get even deeper, like bro said above, it's Kendrick a good lyrical height. It's him taking a surface level concept and going deeper; it's experimenting with entirely different ideas for records like doing no makeup (her vice) and delivering a sequel same album with tammy's song (her evils).
The concept of what he tryna achieve with GKMC works way better off this album imo
Spot on!
Everybody ears are different but Kendrick rapping on section 80 and a lot of those GKMC leaks right after are his best rapping
What I think gravitates more people to GKMC is that it’s more polished and has songs made specifically for mainstream appeal

I haven't taken time to listen back to his older shyt back O.D or whatever - but I remember him being really really inspired by Wayne and it's almost in a totally different way with a pure lyrical rapper.
I've always found that interesting. I think what he does in GKMC, he does way way better on Damn. It's still a lot of the chorus catching but with a lot more confidence all throughout the songwriting.
And then I feel like he honed that even more into a a distinct mainstream sound, like what cole been trying to do for years. All the singles off Mr Morale have hit way harder to me than the damn. ones. A song like Love isn't Kendrick's bag, at all. I fukk with the song but it's interesting to see such a distinct difference between the two big nikkas rn

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
Thank you for coming in with a more interesting take than "Mr. Morale sucks."
GKMC doesn't have a lot of replay value to me outside of a couple tracks ("Sing About Me," "Good Kid," "bytch, Don't Kill My Vibe"). It's not a bad album, and it's the reason Kendrick became a star in the first place so I understand how important it is. But it's never moved me like that. I don't feel that
feeling that I do with TPAB, DAMN, and even Mr. Morale.Regarding Mr. Morale, I still don't hear what everyone else is hearing. Kendrick has never made the same album, so I doubt his next one will be anywhere similar to this one, at least sonically. I don't see how songs like "N95," "Father Time," "Rich Spirit," and "Savior" indicate that Kendrick has changed or he's going too left.

Looking at all his albums, it seems like GKMC is his most accessible.
Imma keep it 100 with you, bro, I a actually hate sign about me. It's weird because it's a lyrically great song but it does nothing for me. It fits amazingly though. Another plus to sequencing
And if those are the songs are the example of Kendrick going too far left, imma assume those critics would hate Danny brown x jpegmafia - you're scaring the hoes
Mr morale just hits so well. I love the way it flows from beginning to end. The music videos are only helping. I feel like it's a combination of what everybody liked from a lot of Kendrick albums - the subject matter just has everybody shook

Bro, I'm like the anti-Kendrick on this board but you gotta give GKMC its props...its legit good and has the impact to match.
Even if 2012 had better albums
