First Reaction to Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (2022) Part 1 |
|
The Heart Part 5 set extremely high expectations, but once you get settled into this project, it's a great continuation of Kendrick's growth as an artist, and a Mortal Man.
Edit (score updated): Damn was a strong experience, but I can’t say I really loved any individual moments outside of the record that much. This album however is a display of Kendrick’s most vulnerable sides, as ugly as that can be, and it leaves about as much of an impression as his classics. This album is a grower, and I think it will be respected more the further time passes Part 2 will come very soon MY TV REACTION CHANNEL: https://youtube.com/channel/UCJ9AFB3thzz2nPJqJGhNjjA -TikTok (NEW): https://www.tiktok.com/@therealbradtaste?lang=en -Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/bradtaste - Twitter: https://twitter.com/BradTaste - Follow me on AOTY: https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/bradtastemusic/ - Discord: https://discord.gg/utVG9KR6as - Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BradTaste Tracklist for Part 1: Intro - 0:00 1.
