With the release of "Why Lawd" a lot of people have been coming out of the woodwork to say that this is one of their favourite/most played albums ever, and I don't really get it. By no means is it bad, but Anderson Paak has better projects with better instrumentals and vocal performances; this just feels a bit uninteresting compared to his other works.

Would be higher, but he took Kali Uchis from me :/

"Hear ye, Hear ye. I summon the Based God."

JID's ability to go from a somber track to a radio hit on this project is stunning to see. He is able to be so versatile while still making the project feel so connected.

Call them Fishmans bc they making me wet fr!

Trip-Hop is fantastic when done right, and while this record does have some dips in quality, it is still a great listen.

Got me in my pretentious bag, and I'm fucking loving it!!!

Moreso than any of his other albums, Mr Morale gets better with each listen. Kendrick is by far the most personal he has ever been to date, and it results in some of the most cutting and powerful tracks of his career. He took so many risks with this project that could've led to complete career suicide and executed each one of them intelligently, with purpose and understanding. The way he is able to talk about these very prevalent topics while also recognising that he is a hypocrite and might ... read more

The guitar and vocals play off each-other so well on this project, not a dull moment.

Conneticut getting devoured by mid is fitting 😭🙏

Just because an 8/10 album influenced a lot of shit that ended up being 9/10s or 10/10s, does NOT mean it is also automatically a 10!!!

First time listening to Charli, the production and instrumentals are fantastic and the album overall is an enjoyable listen, however her voice is just off-putting to me, and the distortion on it doesn’t help. I also feel that she could’ve been a bit less direct with some of the themes of the tracks, there are multiple occasions where it kinda feels like she’s just making a statement rather than weaving it into the music.

Great to have new rappers who take heavy inspiration from both Beastie Boys and Run The Jewels, the energy is fantastic.

uh-oh, I just björked it all over the place 😅

The instrumentals are talking to me again 🫤

There never has been, and maybe never will be, a hip-hop group that is as large, and contains the same concentration of talent that Wu-Tang Clan did.

The instrumentals really stand out here, they remind me of those random instruments you’d find in an elementary school’s music classroom cupboard. Nobody knew what they were for or how to play them, there were never any lessons based around them, they just sat there. The Glow Part 2 is one of those instruments being discovered in a dusty box somewhere and a group of people deciding to do something with them, even though they don’t know what the instruments’ original ... read more

Which one is Stal?

Is it a common thing for The Beatles to just have one random song that's just a complete tonal shift? Because why is there a track about a serial killer 😭???
