The Comfortability of Being Great (Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers 2023 Review)
I told y’all, give me around a year & I’ll tell you what I thought about his newest album. Well…here we go. Kendrick Lamar, one of the greatest rappers of all time won another Grammy, again. This dude grinds on his albums. They’re always complex, have something new to say, & touch on relevant & important issues. But did it deserve a Grammy & was it even great in the first place? I would be remiss to not mention the sales. 35,000 in the US. For some artists this would be big but for one of the biggest rap artists on the planet this doesn’t look too good. It’s not an indicator that ‘Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers’ was bad, it’s just saying that people weren’t rocking with it too much besides the die hard Kung Fu Kenny fans of course. When you compare this to his last 3 studio albums for instance, all three went platinum including DAMN & Good Kid, Madd City which both went 3 times platinum. So what was it about this album that people weren’t as receptive to? N95,
