One album, two takes: Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers - Kendrick Lamar’s latest album drops down the charts and moves up our reviewers’ legendary list
. He speaks honestly about his infidelities with white women and how, when his high-school love and fiancé Whitney Alford questions him, issues of sex addiction and his possible racism come up as intertwined. . He speaks about how, since his mother died, he has focused on work and although this makes him able to afford a good life for his children, it doesn’t make him a present father. is what got the Twitter thumb revolutionaries in a frenzy.
Lamar is an intelligent, introspective and observant man. He is not going to appease the anti-woke movement to keep up with top-five lists. Sure, he did not break any first-week sales records but I reckon he’s okay with it. Slow poison.— with the most interesting ending since Eminem’s— is the biggest drop in Billboard Hot 100 history, going from number 16 to 81 in its second week.
But before we get into the rapper’s last album with Top Dog Entertainment — the only Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper — I’d like to take a detour and talk aboutIn 2002 a not-so-stylised Ms Lauryn Hill walked onto the MTV Unplugged stage and cried her way through most of her set. The die-hards loved it, but I didn’t get it. I much preferred my Lauryn when she was in a toxic relationship with a married man so I could jam to.
This time I get it. I’ve had enough demons to know that our decisions, childhood trauma and our generational history matters, especially as black people. There is something profound about listening to Lamar bare it all on this album. He’s a guy from the ’hood who has reached the heights he only dreamt about when he wroteLamar is saying, “I’ve got more money, fame and more clout than you could imagine but I’m an emotional mess of black trauma, toxic masculinity and misguided intentions.
