“Kendrick Lamar could have hibernated for five years after dropping ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’, a record that will soon be mandatory listening in hip-hop’s vast syllabus.

“Kendrick best album in my opinion.Insane album, storytelling, writing, production, features, everything is top notch on this album. Has so many classic songs on the album too with easily the best song and performance from Kendrick coming from “Sing About Me I’m Dying Of Thirst” Top songs on the album are: ‘Sherane a.k.a Master Splinters Daughter’ ‘Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe’ ‘The Art Of Peer Pressure’ ‘Money Trees’ ft Jay Rock ‘Poetic Justice’ ft Drake ‘m.A.A.d city’ ft MC Eiht ‘Swimming Pools (Drank)’ ‘Sing About Me, I’m Dying Of Thirst’”

“Tried to think of reasons to rate this lower than a 10 but I can’t. Such an amazing, introspective piece of work by Kendrick after returning from a 4 year long hiatus. This tackles his self doubt, relationships, fatherhood and insecurities, whilst still sounding amazing and some of the rapping is really great as well. Top songs off the album for me are ‘N95’ ‘Die Hard’ ft Blxst & Amanda Reifer ‘Father Time’ ft Sampha ‘Rich Spirit’ ‘Purple Hearts’ ft Summer Walker & Ghostface Killah ‘Count Me Out’ ‘Mirror’”
