Where to start with it? I am not a huge hip hop fan, but I really like Kendrick. The hip hop I am into is generally more "danceable" and generally older, but as I say Kendrick seems to be different.
Overall it's a great album.. just 1 I'm not sure I want to listen to last thing on a Sunday at Glastonbury. Starts off great with the opening 2 tunes. I am ok until we cry together, which I found funny tbh. Then musically it tails off for me. Crown, Silent Hill & Savior - lyrically are great, but are hardly party tunes for a Sunday.
Auntie Diaries is genuinely surprising. Again this isnt something to go out and stomp to, but it's a genuinely thought provoking tune.
Mr Morale is more upbeat, before Mother I Sober is another chin stroker.
Overall I'd say it isnt my thing musically, but there is a lot to unpack lyrically & I really enjoyed it overall. The man's a genius.
N95, Auntie Diaries & Mr Morale are the standout tracks IMO.
Still not clearer on who I'll see next month. I enjoyed the album, but it's no banger-fest.
