After a few more listens I’ve come to really love the new album, it’s fascinating in ways that his other projects weren’t. I think its greatest sin is that it just isn’t nearly as good as his last few masterpieces.

Also it has some really sneaky earworms that I find very fun.

As with Kanye, I'm rating Kendrick's features by my evaluation of his performances, not of the songs as a whole. For instance, I like Tints far more than Control but Kendrick's bit in the latter track made everyone take notice (or at least all the rappers he called out):

1 | King Kunta | 2PAB | 2015
2 | Alright | 2PAB | 2015
3 | Money Trees | gkmc | 2012
4 | The Heart Part IV | Single | 2017
5 | SZA and Kendrick Lamar - All the Stars | Single/Black Panther OST | 2018
6 | Mother I Sober | Mr. Morale | 2022
7 | 03 - 05.28.2013 | untitled unmastered | 2016
8 | These Walls | 2PAB | 2015
9 | Backseat Freestyle | gkmc | 2012
10 | Ronald Reagan Era | Section.80 | 2011
11 | We Cry Together | Mr. Morale
12 | The Blacker the Berry | 2PAB | 2015
13 | good kid | gkmc | 2012
14 | Ab Soul's Outro | Section.80 | 2011
15 | Pusha T feat.... | Nosetalgia | My Name Is My Name | 2013
16 | Wesley's Theory | 2PAB | 2015
17 | 05 - 09.21.2014 | untitled unmastered | 2016
18 | DUCKWORTH. | DAMN. | 2017
19 | Complexion (A Zulu Love) | 2PAB | 2015
20 | Compton | gkmc | 2012
21 | Institutionalized | 2PAB | 2015
22 | A.D.H.D. | Section.80 | 2011

I'm not gonna lie, I do think that Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers have songs with the potential to be Kendrick's best ever, but indeed the album on the whole is just so ever slightly less good than his others. I don't see people talking about "Mirror" very often as a highlight from it, but it's easily my favorite track on the album.

1 King Kunta
2 Money Trees
3 Mirror
4 Swimming Pools (Drank)
5 Humble
6 Backseat Freestyle
7 Alright
8 Mother I Sober
9 Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe
10 The Blacker the Berry
11 Rich Spirit
12 DNA
13 I
14 The Heart Part 5
15 We Cry Together
16 Wesley's Theory
17 Duckworth
18 These Walls
19 Auntie Diaries
20 United in Grief
21 N95
22 U
23 The Art of Peer Pressure
24 Sherane a.k.a Master Splinter's Daughter

Because of low list turnout, I'll extend this to the 7th. If anyone wants to participate, that'd be amazing, if not, that's find too!
