Disco 229 - Semana 22 - De 1 a 8 de junho de 2022 - Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & Big Steppers

"Sympathy
(Paul Lawrence Dunbar)

I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
   When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;  
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,  
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
   When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,  
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals—
I know what the caged bird feels!

I know why the caged bird beats his wing
   Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;  
For he must fly back to his perch and cling  
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
   And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars  
And they pulse again with a keener sting—
I know why he beats his wing!

I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
   When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
   But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,  
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—
I know why the caged bird sings!"

Após quase 78 dias, maio chegou ao final. Para comemorarmos, temos uma indicação do Panda Polar Preto.

Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers is the fifth studio album by American rapper Kendrick Lamar, released on May 13, 2022, by PGLang, Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE), Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records. After four albums with the label, the double album serves as Lamar's final project with TDE, of which he was one of the flagship artists.

The album features narration by Whitney Alford and Eckhart Tolle, and guest appearances from Blxst, Amanda Reifer, Sampha, Taylour Paige, Summer Walker, Ghostface Killah, Baby Keem, Kodak Black, Sam Dew, Tanna Leone, and Beth Gibbons of Portishead. Lamar reunited with frequent collaborators Sounwave, J. Lbs, DJ Dahi, and Bekon for the majority of the album's production.

Upon release, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers was met with widespread acclaim from critics, who praised Lamar's lyricism and the album's scope, although a few found it inconsistent. The album has so far spawned two singles; the European release "N95" and the North American release "Silent Hill". It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, becoming Lamar's fourth US number-one album.


A lista não tá zerada, mas tá minguada. Tem indicações, mas são sempre os mesmos indicando. Se vc não recomenda nada há muito tempo, manda que eu te passo na frente na fila! Indicações pelo telegram, whatsapp ou twitter (@radiolatorresmo). Façam-se ouvir!

Ora, mas vejam que belezinha é esse disco. Eu não sou muito fã de Hip Hop gringo, mas esse é um disco q dá pra gente sentir a densidade e a tensão mesmo q não entenda as letras... E quando pega pra ver o que elas dizem... Uau! Um dos melhores q ouvi esse ano.

8.2 em 10

Isso é como uma sessão de terapia. Trauma geracional, inseguranças, ansiedade pandêmica, discussão de casais, egoísmo, autocontrole, luto, responsabilidades, familia... é uma jornada na intimidade da vida de alguém. Ótimo trabalho.
