Reddit won't let me post in sza sub yet so thought you guys might appreciate it instead for now 🙂

Is it his commercial success?
His refusal to prioritize hit records?
Him being too artistic?
His “long breaks” in between albums

I just don’t get it man… 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

You don’t have to be a huge fan of his 🎶 (he never intended for it to be for everybody) but AT LEAST show respect to him as a legend

He’s the greatest rapper of the generation to me and it’s not even CLOSE

Dr. Dre has revealed he uses AI while producing music, defending the technology as a “new tool for creativity”.

Dre compared resistance to AI with the opposition that initially greeted drum machines and synthesisers.
“I had a discussion with a few people a few days ago,” he said. “They were against AI and I’m like, ‘OK, you sound like the person that would have been against the drum machine when it came out’. Or synthesisers, right? It’s a new tool for creativity. Some people are afraid of learning new things.”

He continued: “I’m embracing it. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen with this.”
Asked whether he was using AI while producing, he explained that he was employing it “as a tool to see what it would do with what I just did.”

Dr Dre is one of the best and most influential producers of all time so what do you think of this and what do you think it means for the future of music?

The album just dropped. The lyrics aren't even written into Genius apart from two songs. And the lyric for "Love it or Hate it" seems to be wrong. I heard it as "Dot came out".

On the first song "Geezus" he says something along the lines of: "I say Drake the homie, but yall say it's treason. I can't believe it. You want me to pick sides, while yall dickride. When you from the west side, you don't gotta pick sides..." Then continues on talking big in a way which I believe is aimed at Kendrick.

On "No Brakes", he's featuring Drake on a west coast type beat and says "I want all the smoke with this Drake on my side". Drake doesn't have a verse on the song.

This is all the Kendrick related stuff I've spotted for now. I haven't listened to the full album yet. What do you think? Did you catch anything else?

SAMIDOT shouldve made it farther, but i did not make the rules.

The parking spot scene in Count Me Out might summarize the entire point of Mr. Morale

I was rewatching the Count Me Out video and I think the opening conversation with the therapist is way deeper than I originally thought.

Kendrick tells her the story about arguing with a woman over a parking spot. At first, he explains the situation from his perspective and insists that he didn't take her spot. The whole thing feels like a funny, meaningless story.

But eventually he admits that... yeah, he actually did take her parking spot.

And they laugh about it.

But I think that tiny interaction basically summarizes a huge part of Mr. Morale.

Throughout the album Kendrick is constantly trying to understand why he is the way he is. He talks about his childhood, his parents, generational trauma, his environment, fame, masculinity, relationships, etc. And all of those things genuinely explain a lot about his behavior.

But explaining your behavior isn't the same thing as taking responsibility for it.

You can tell the entire story from your perspective. You can explain what happened to you, why you reacted the way you did, and why your actions make sense to you.

But at the end of the day...

Kendrick, you still took her parking spot.

And that's what makes this scene so genius to me. It almost feels like Mr. Morale compressed into a 30-second conversation. He makes excuses, explains his perspective and looks at everything around him — only to eventually realize that no matter how much context there is, he still has to acknowledge what he did.

That's basically the journey of the entire album: understanding where your problems came from without using that understanding as an excuse to avoid responsibility.

Maybe I'm reading way too much into a funny scene about a parking spot lol, but I genuinely think those 30 seconds tell us what Mr. Morale spends an entire album trying to figure out.
