As an music expert from 1672, l am saddened to give this album a mid/10. l strongly advice Kendrick to retire immediately and get a real job as making music is clearly not his thing. I spend months listening to this album in particular and my legal team and me can’t find any good song on it. I am willing to fiII a Iawsuit against Oklama for brain damage l got from listening to this album. I think its safe to say that l need to intervene on this case and caII Kendrick to say that l’m taking over.

Coming from a white guy that grew up in poverty with a broken family, inheriting generational trauma, and currently going through therapy to fix myself and protect my one year old daughter from said trauma, Its one of the most impactful hip hop albums I've listened to. 10/10

As a another white guy coming from your same background of trauma and broken families I can’t tell you how much I feel this. Kendrick is probably my favorite artist from this era of music. This album was cathartic. Especially because like you I’ve been dealing with these issues in therapy. It’s been such a hard couple of years and this album was like a gift to the universe. He spoke truth to all my trauma. 😢❤

While Anthony was frustrated that Kendrick didn't acknowledge his own role in playing into his savior complex on the track "Savior," I'd like to point out that Kendrick did acknowledge this on "Crown" by saying "Heavy is the head that CHOSE to wear the crown." Seems like Kendrick does in fact recognize that he brought this burden upon himself.

I feel like the whole album he subliminally says that he is the saviour and I fkin love it. On the first track he goes “she loves the songs I wrote in the bible” for example. I feel like the whole album is about him being seen as a saviour yet still just a man

When Kendrick came on the hip hop scene, being called the "savior" of hip-hop was a huge award and title that many were fighting for. To be in Kendrick's position were bragging about being a "savior" of hip-hop seems played out is overly extraordinary privilege. How can he play the braggadocious when he's trying to confront the internet's collective conscious?

The ending lyrics into bridge on Mirror hit me like a truck. "Maybe it's time to break it off Run away from the culture to follow my heart I realized, true love's not savin' face But unconditional When will you let me go? I trust you’ll find independence If not, then all is forgiven Sorry I didn't save the world, my friend I was too busy buildin' mine again" I hope Kendrick was able to shed some weight off his shoulders and finds peace doing what is right for him, whatever choice he makes after this album.

seriously I come from generations of abuse sexual assault was in situations he spoke of when he was talking about should he have grabbed a gun and was only five that happened in my childhood. my mom constantly asked and accused people and such that I was assaulted . now I know it is because she was. the pain of being a young boy and not being able to help your momma is a hellish guilt that I have carried as a boy to a man . I did get sexually abused but she didn't help when that happened . my parents both are alcoholics. DAD is sober thankfully . I had to parent my drunk blacked out abusive mom when I was just a teen who had previously had two traumatic brain injuries a year before doing work I should not have but was forced to where a horse stomped on me with he front feet into a wall at-least three times and have permanent brain damage 10 years later. broke my nose and face in sixteen places all the while my mom was screwing her loser boyfriend in another state I somehow halway crawled out went unconscious I wouldn't know but from those that were there and that's after I was lights out said it was minutes. I was drowning in my own blood and my sister miraculously just got back from school. grabbed the people off me who were holding me in a way that would have for sure killed me put my head in the correct position she was only 17 but a literal genius IQ and biologist was a vet tech and knew cpr and was trained as an EMT at 17. when I came back she was dragging me to the car I was blind completely in one eye . Took me to the hospital and I am still here we grew up I was born on that ranch and was horse shoeing when it happened . That is a crumb of my trauma I relate to the album the only thing is I am white ...... but my grandma you could say step but shes grandma is a Black woman from new orleans and is 80 was in the thick of racism jim crow dad and mom having kkk after then cuz grandmas dad was English and great grandma is black . So I will say I know my place but have a unique situation and my bet fiends in life school everything since I moved from Oregon in 2015 we lived in what people would call ghetto or hood an was the minority person as a cracker white boy in school and my jobs until I literally can't work anymore because I am disabled . All the people I liked and did my best to understand and happened to be friends with were black . I wish more white people understood the black struggle because it is legit real and awful . but this album but especially "Mother I Sober" is so reachable and helpful as I go to therapy and learn to be one with the universe and overcome my trauma guilt and shame and my own savior complex I choose. I wish love and healing to all who read this , may peace and love com and break the chains . be free!

Also remember when Noname basically sent shots at J. Cole and Kendrick for not being big leaders in the black lives matter movement. I think the message of this song applies to that situation too. That and Savior. He's an imperfect human just like everybody else, he's nobodies savior and he has his own problems that he is working on, enough to not be able to save the country at the same time.

Kendrick told us pretty directly, he can't save everyone, nor should he. He's saving himself, and his legacy.

@@masterfamclothingco that touches on things like “take off your idols” and also the themes in Savior. One thing I’ve always appreciated was how Vince Staples has constantly said “it’s not about me, it’s about the ______” mentality he has, and many other artists in general not thinking about servicing themselves, necessarily as much as it is the overarching entity music tends to take itself when it develops past a certain point. Take the attachment and even your own biases that you love your favorite artists away, and can you still connect to the music? it’s the same parallel to “take all that designer bullshit off and what do you have?” I feel like a similar sentiment is applied when he says “tell me what would you do for aesthetic” and this isn’t the first time anyone has called it out. Tyler the Creator in Lumberjack, about how people aren’t really on what they say they’re really on, Tyler has always called out that innate need to fit in with the world around us in his interviews and music, and so has Kendrick in a lot of ways but this entire album is a closer look to Kendrick we’re getting People and artists of all kinds have been calling out things out like this for the longest time, but these are some relevant examples with recent music that comes to mind for me

On the ambiguity of “We Cry Together” I think the “this is what the world sounds like” line at the beginning is crucial for framing the entire song. I wouldn’t look for any consistency or actual statement of belief from the artists in their argument because I think they’re just trying to fully embody and act out what the cultural conflict and discourse/division *feels* like to be watching and listening to. The inconsistency and self contraction etc are a part of that. I think it’s interesting that in an album centered around therapy conceptually Kendrick is literally using the therapeutic technique of “diffusion” - which is a method where you externalize beliefs about yourself so that you can let go of your attachment to them. Some methods of diffusion used in therapy literally include repetition and repeating the belief in a “funny voice” something he’s literally doing in Crown. Brilliant album imo. Thanks for the thoughtful review!

Nah I thought Auntie Diaries was amazing, and I am trans, it genuinely led me to shed a tear and my spine shook. Trans-folk who dislike him using the F slur are just ignorant toward what he is tryna say and the art form imo. It's a story of his learning afterall. Not to mention, it isn't necessarily uncommon for kids (e.g. nieces and nephews) to deadname their older family members, esp if they knew them as that when they were born- and there are some transfolk who don't mind it. For myself, my niece calls me uncle, coz I came out before she was born, but I do know people who get called auntie/uncle despite it not aligning with their gender and they are comfortable with it. And not only that but the deadnaming, whilst simultaneously using the 'correct' terms here n there, just shows his confusion further. The emphasis on him saying the F slur 3 times twice, coming back around to his family member saying he can say it as long as he lets a white girl say the N slur, him learning that the terms are equally as awful. Idk how to put it into words tbh, but it's beautiful and I rlly connected with it

The big controversy thing is that he wouldn’t really be able to say the f-slur if society was more accepting. It’s like if a white rapper said the n-word: even if the message is profound it still comes off as sort of not learning why you shouldn’t say it

Father Time brings me to tears pretty consistently. Being raised by a hard father who lived a hard life himself has left deep, formative engravings that I honestly was surprised to see as an evocative theme for myself. Some songs just resonate with you at the right time and they stick with you after that. I think Kenny brought his fans many opportunities for such deep connections on this album.

As an music expert from 1672, l give this album mid/10. l strongly advice Kendrick to retire immediately and get a real job as making music is clearly not his thing. I spend months listening to this album in particular and my legal team and me can’t find any good song on it. I am willing to fiII a Iawsuit against Oklama for brain damage l got from listening to this album. I think its safe to say that l need to intervene on this case and caII kendrick to say that i’m taking over.

This album was very unexpected to me. I never thought Kendrick would go in this direction. I don't know how to explain it, but this made me like him in a more subjective way. It made me look more at myself and what i'm looking for in life. That last song "Mirror", it felt like something i needed to hear, even though i didn't know i was looking for it. It's a weird feeling and i understand if some people don't vibe that much with it, but for those who do, this was a very special gift. I think Kendrick is now my favorite musical artist of all time, along with Bob Dylan.

Personally I was a fan of many of the moments you weren’t a big fan of. Crown for example being so different from anything he has done before, the simple stripped back track feels like it just hammers this mantra over and over again over a really solid piano track, and stands out as one of the more memorable tracks on the second half. Many of these diverse moments add to the inconsistency of Kendrick as a human being, and make this record feel like I get to experience where he is now, and how far he has come.

I agree, I also found Mirror to be a solid closer to the album, with the uplifting tone and declarations made by Kendrick to be refreshing and positive in response to the conclusions he’s reached in Aunties Diaries and Mother I Sober. It has a strong sense of finality and mellowness that does well to reflect Kendrick’s current stage in life, a mortal man as opposed to some kind of savior.

Instructions for the fans that aren't enjoying the review: 1. Watch the review for the first time, not understand melon's review or underlying points but just try to enjoy the visuals. Understand that this review isn't like the others. 2. Watch the review for the second time, not understand the review but this time around you'll acclimate to the video. It won't throw you off and it'll start to grow on you. 3. Watch the review for a third time and this time read the closed captions and try to interpret the meaning behind it. Things will start to make more sense, the light will start to shine through and the message will be more prevalent. Already on the third watch, this time with closed captions on and a notepad. It grows on you, I promise. This will be regarded as one of fantano's best reviews one day.

Every Kendrick album has been a concept album so far. It's one of the reasons why I love the guy's work so much. Section 80: campfire gathering where different people discuss the issues of their generation. GKMC: coming of age story of a teenage Kendrick with skits between songs. TPAB: meditation on what it means to be black in America with the poem running throughout. DAMN: Kendrick pondering about different concepts that humanity has thought about for ages. Mr. Morale: overcoming personal flaws and generational trauma to see the world in a more optimistic light, with the mirrored pattern between the two albums. His ambition from project to project is incredible.

Crown is the best track on this album. It’s about his struggle to maintain being the best. If you are told you are the GOAT for 7 years, including a 5 year hiatus, it puts a lot of pressure on you to maintain that level of greatness. It also teaches the listener that even the best go through turmoil.

This Album is a 9/10 great insight to his world. It's therapeutic and a way to be open minded. Fixing yourself as a human being, Exposing the skeletons in your closet, we have flaws that need to be addressed.

I’m gonna be real with you. This was my first Kendrick album. Only ever listened to a few of his songs before but thought I’d give this one a shot when it came out. Kendrick is now one of my favorite artists by far. Only album I genuinely just don’t care for is Damn. I feel like that album was just full of less creative tracks, less of something to say, and it overall just didn’t sound like Kendrick now that I’ve listened to all his stuff.

The album is growing the more I'm listening. I expected the unexpected going into this. The only information I went off was just watching his interviews during the DAMN. release. Just going off of that he sounded forward thinking in those conversations. So my surprise was just him being transparent/vulnerable throughout the album. Usually Kendrick is speaking from various perspectives. This, he's front and center. He shined on this very well. Disc 1 (favorites): N95**, Die Hard, Father Time, Rich Spirit (got Yay Area vibes) and We Cry Together. Disc 2 (favorites): Mr. Morale, Count Me Out**, Crown, Savior 1&2** and Mirror.

I became a father for the first time a couple weeks before this album came out. While it is not the central theme of the album some of the lyrics regarding fatherhood and responsibility really hit heavy. I want to echo what Melon said: I'm just sheltered white guy with absolutely 0 connection to 'the culture' Kendrick speaks on in The Heart pt. 5 and which is explored on MM&TBS so brutally, Nevertheless the work and art Kendrick has produced means so so much to me. It is no wonder members of the Black community, who can relate so more readily to his deepest cuts, have elevated him as a Savior (especially since TPAB). Despite that burden, I don't think Kendrick would've had it any other way. But it's great to hear him processing the reality of his position in a more positive way than on DAMN. 9.5/10!

Good review overall. It’s so tough to even compare Kendrick to most artists out there, and probably a futile endeavor to even try. It’s very obvious he’s forged an almost entirely new genre of art coming as almost a novel or a movie rather than individual pieces of music out of context from one another. As far as most music goes, it’d be hard to give this any less than a 9/10 among the charts, but the more honest way is to judge it against itself as almost a “mirror” reflecting its own accomplishments and faults. I also love the much more honest and introspective approach we get to the more common themes and cultural trends that often get distilled into dumbed down talking points and clickbait as a form of social performance. I think where Kanye in past works did a really good job at reframing and deconstructing common narratives, Kendrick takes a hard look at those individual elements and how they relate to him on a personal level and how to actually move forward onto the growth and healing aspects. It’s like tearing off an old comfort bandage to remove a deeper infection beneath the surface. It’s painful and opens old wounds, but ultimately allows real healing to begin to take place, with the acknowledgment that it’ll never be like it was before, but something entirely new and hopefully better.

Count me out imo is the most underrated song on the album. As far as sound and instrumentals I feel like surpasses a lot of the other tracks and I can feel the emotional connection between the beat and background vocals to the lyrics. I agree Kendrick may not have had the best vocals but you can definitely hear the emotion and the pain and regret he felt but also the forgiveness he found in himself. To me all of that emotion he put into the song really just made it stand out to me more than any other song.

And I'm so glad I'm not the only one who got legit dizzy when I heard Savior, I was half asleep but could've sworn that I was spinning around in my bed. It was awesome though, I highly recommend.

Before I say anything else, I want to thank you Anthony for giving us a well thought out and intricate review on one of the most dense albums to come out in hip-hop in awhile. I shouldn't have to say that but this commitment to quality is becoming more rare by the day and I'm thankful we have you. Every other review I've read falls flat for a number of different reasons, so thank you for your hard work and honesty. The only point you made I disagreed with was when you said Kendrick's current message contradicts his past comments at the 14:00 mark. A considerable amount of time has passed since Kendrick threatened to pull his music from Spotify, and I think as an artist and individual he should be allowed to change his mind/opinion on certain topics or ideas. You started the "Redux Review" series for the same reason. I think it is only fair to accept that Kendrick's opinions on certain topics have changed as well. But besides that, this is probably the best review I've seen or read about this album. I also don't think this album is perfect but it doesn't have to be. I am just grateful we have a new Kendrick project and a critic who genuinely cares about his craft.

I don't always agree with Fantano's ratings. I def know that his scale is more harsh than the average critic or listener. But at least he has his reasonings for the scores. And usually, while I disagree with the scores, I do agree with most of his logic behind them.

I couldn’t agree more cause this is a very uncomfortable album to begin with but Anthony didn’t get to descriptive to the point where he would look insensitive and dismissive. He also didn’t hold back too much either and found appropriate ways to address Kendricks heavy songs on this album. He trippin on count me out tho

He reacted to that song live on the TND Streams channel and he actually loved it. He compared him to " Kim" From Em and said that most people in the chat would never understand this track because his suscibers never even held a girl 😂😂😂😂 DAMN

It’s so hard to judge a lot of these songs because they’re so personal, but I think people will grow to appreciate the messages more and more as time passes. Even if there aren’t a lot of “club bangers” or songs to play in a car ride, I feel like the album as a whole has so much replay value. I’ve listened to “Worldwide Steppers” five times and still get chills after I hear “Hide your eyes, then pose for the pic,” and I can definitely see that kind of lasting impact in songs like United in Grief, Father Time, Crown, and Mother I Sober

Having listened through a few times, I kept feeling that this album is objectively fantastic, that it's really good music. However, I just didn't really enjoy it for the most part, it didn't have the draw to keep listening for some reason. Probably need a few more listens but super interested if anyone else has had a similar experience.

This album is amazing, but it lacks replayability. I can't see myself putting much in my rotation, but if I ever get in the mood it would be good to come back to for a full playthrough.
