Kendrick Lamar

KENDRICK LAMAR. Après la sortie surprise de la chanson "The Heart Part 5", le nouvel album de Kendrick Lamar est paru ce vendredi 13 mai.

[Mis à jour le 13 mai 2022 à 11h01] Cinq ans que ses admirateurs attendaient : Kendrick Lamar est de retour avec un cinquième album, baptisé Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers et sorti ce vendredi 13 mai. De quoi attiser la curiosité des fans autour de ce nouvel album tant attendu. Face à lui, une femme sur un lit, allaitant un bébé. Le média américain TMZ croit savoir qu'elle serait sa compagne de longue date, Whitney Alford et l'enfant que le rappeur tient serait leur fille de deux ans.

After a long five-year absence, Kendrick Lamar has finally returned. Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers is the kind of dense, complex, contradictory and ...

“Auntie Diaries” is the highlight of an album that finds him fitfully evolving beyond the fears, misogyny, and wanderlusts of his past in favor of a richer, positive “morale” life. Mr. Morale finds him learning to let go of his youthful biases, an evolution not only prompted by his years-long absence from the rap scene (save for a handful of guest shots like Baby Keem’s “Family Ties”) and a global pandemic, but also his desire to be a better father, romantic partner, and citizen of the Black community, all while learning to accept a level of fame that makes fans swarm him whenever he’s seen in public. Mr. Morale listeners are already parsing several Lamar lyrics that seem to embrace “cancel culture,” a concept many would argue doesn’t exist. He reveals that his aunt “is a man” now and his cousin is “Mary Anne now,” but he can’t help but deadname both by calling out their identity before they transitioned. “Guess I’m not as mature as I think/Got some healing to do,” he adds. He admits that he frequently used the word “faggot” when he was younger. It’s Gibbons’s most high-profile musical contribution since Portishead’s final album to date, 2008’s brilliant Third. Until now, she’s only made modest appearances with Jneiro Jarel and MF Doom’s JJ Doom project and British metallers Gonga (the latter an evocative cover of Black Sabbath’s “Black Sabbath”). Coupled with Portishead’s reunion gig during a May 2 Ukraine benefit concert, this month has brought a surprising groundswell of activity from the famously publicity shy singer. However, it’s worth listening to Lamar’s lyrics within the context of the entire album. Some will ask why Lamar is platforming a talented but wayward rapper who has been convicted for sexual assault and has generated numerous controversies since former president Donald Trump pardoned him in January 2021. In the meantime, here are five observations from a long night of deep listening. Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers is the kind of dense, complex, contradictory and thrilling journey into the mind of Pulitzer Kenny we’ve been waiting for. With over 70 minutes of music, there’s plenty here to process, enjoy and debate.

Kendrick Lamar is back with an absolute shoe-in for album of the year 2022 with 18 tracks that are like nothing we've ever heard before.

On opener “United In Grief”, Lamar goes deep on his post-fame spending habits. Which might explain why Kendrick seems to be confused that Kanye deigned to make up with Drake, rather than the other way round… Just when you thought King Kendrick wasn’t paying any attention to the wider rap game, he goes and namechecks the most contentious beef of the past few years.

Dans « Mr Morale & The Big Steppers », le rappeur de Compton s'interroge, entre autres, sur la violence qui persécute les Noirs américains, mais aussi sur ...

Dans ( « Worldwide Steppers », il se souvient du jour où il a couché pour la première fois avec « une chienne blanche », dit-il : « J’ai découvert que son papa était shérif/Il avait arrêté Oncle Perry/Elle a payé pour les péchés de son papa… Puis il raconte que sa mère lui demandait sans cesse si son cousin l’avait « touché ». Ce qui n’était pas le cas. » Il évoque le chanteur R. Kelly, condamné pour viols : « S’il n’avait pas été agressé [sexuellement dans son enfance], la vie l’aurait-elle ainsi desservi ? » » Blessée sans doute par son sexisme, sa femme Whitney lui demande alors s’il a « un problème ». « Je suis peut-être raciste », répond le rappeur, entre confession et forfanterie, avant d’ajouter : « Le fait que les ancêtres me regardent baiser [cette Blanche], c’était comme une vengeance. La vidéo « The Heart Part 5 » porte l’épigraphe : « I Am. All of us » (« Je suis. C’était la première fois qu’un rappeur recevait cette récompense littéraire. Sur la couverture de « Damn », on voyait un homme solitaire.

Kendrick Lamar has released his fifth solo album, "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers."

5. Savior ft. 7. Mr. Morale ft. 3. Silent Hill ft. 5. Father Time ft. 9. Purple Hearts ft. 4. Die Hard ft.

Attendu depuis près de cinq ans, le cinquième album en forme de flux de conscience du rappeur de Compton, “Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers”, se révèle comme ...

Porté par une foi immuable, si ce n’est en Dieu, dans la musique, Kendrick prouve, encore une fois, qu’il n’a pas son pareil pour mettre en sons les méandres de son esprit tortueux : “Chaque fois que je n’ai pu trouver Dieu, je pouvais toujours me retrouver dans une chanson.” Une certaine idée du dépouillement idéale pour capturer ce passage de l’autre côté du miroir (18 morceaux pour 18 séances chez le psy) brillant d’ambivalence : un travail de guérison, un work in progress au cœur de ses insécurités figé dans le mouvement. Au “Tu as besoin de parler à quelqu’un puisque tu parles à tout le monde” (sous-entendu “Tu es responsable de la manière dont tu t’adresses à ton public”) assené par sa femme en début d’album (Father Time), Kendrick répond, habilement, moins par ses certitudes que par les cheminements de pensée qui y conduisent. Malgré la couronne d’épines qui orne la tête de Kendrick Lamar sur la pochette de l’album (“Lourde est la tête de celui qui choisit de porter la couronne”, entonne-t-il sur le refrain de Crown), Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers est le disque d’un artiste trop imparfait pour assumer son rôle de sauveur : “Vrai n**** n’a pas besoin de thérapie, de quoi tu putain de parles”, intime-t-il à sa femme sur Father Time (grand moment du disque avec Sampha qui renverse les daddy issues), avant de se rétracter (“Kendrick te l’a fait croire, mais il est n’est pas ton sauveur”) sur Savior. S’il avait déjà fait de DAMN. un album résolument personnel – alors qu’au lendemain de l’élection de Donald Trump, le public s’attendait à une saillie politique de la teneur de son To Pimp A Butterfly –, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers creuse un peu plus le sillon de l’introspection (et tout ce qu’elle contient de contradictions et d’hypocrisie) à la manière du 808s & Heartbreak de Kanye West. Impudique jusqu’à la moelle, ce nouveau double album du natif de Compton prend sa source dans les insécurités de son auteur : ses tromperies, la religion, ses séances de thérapie, son enfance et l’implacabilité des violences systémiques (racisme, transphobie, homophobie, violences sexuelles…). Annoncé lapidairement par voie de communiqué – à la manière de la sortie de retraite de la légende Michael Jordan –, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers ne s’est dévoilé en amont que par sa pochette messianique et, comme à l’accoutumée, un nouvel ajout à la série des morceaux The Heart, qui ne figure pas sur le disque mais traduit toujours l’essence de l’album à venir.

After a five-year hiatus, the Pulitzer winner returns with an exhilarating hip-hop feast that ties personal pain to collective trauma – and lets no one off ...

Tellingly, the next track begins with Tolle: “Let’s say bad things were done to you when you were a child, and you develop a sense of self that is based on the bad things that happened to you…” Mother I Sober offers a devastating series of verses that draw together slavery and sexual abuse, and deal unflinchingly with a sexual assault experienced by his mother and an episode in which a young Lamar, being questioned by his family, denied that a cousin had abused him. Elsewhere, the track turns its ire not merely on white people glomming on to the Black Lives Matter movement (“one protest for you, 365 for me”), but the black community and indeed himself. One interlude features a string quartet and 74-year-old German self-help author Eckhart Tolle discussing the perils of a victim mentality alongside Lamar’s cousin, rapper Baby Keem, whose concerns are more earthy: “White panties and minimal condoms”. On Worldwide Steppers, Lamar’s words rattle out at such a pace that they threaten to race ahead of the backing track, a muffled, dense, relentless loop of Nigerian afro-rock band the Funkees that suddenly switches to a burst of laidback 70s soul and back again. Its opening tracks don’t so much play as teem, cutting frantically from one style to another – staccato piano chords and backwards drums; a frantic, jazzy loop with a bass drum that recalls a racing heartbeat; a mass of sampled voices; thick 80s-film-soundtrack synth and trap beats.

Kendrick Lamar's new album “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers” includes the song “Auntie Issues,” which addresses trans acceptance.

She was booed and Lamar gently but sternly lectured her onstage — and apparently has come to think twice about what he said at the time. She was booed and Lamar gently but sternly lectured her onstage — and apparently has come to think twice about what he said at the time. One of Kendrick Lamar’s great strengths as a rapper is his ability to acknowledge and criticize his own biases and prejudices and not place himself above the people he’s singling out.

Le très attendu cinquième album du rappeur californien, «Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers», est remarquablement pluriel, cohérent et incisif.

On a bravura album, the Pulitzer-winner sheds egotism, incorporates many voices and opens his private world.

Après cinq ans d'attente, le rappeur californien Kendrick Lamar, devenu l'une des bandes-son du mouvement Black Lives Matter, a livré un nouvel album ...

De quoi faire spéculer sur la naissance de son deuxième enfant, selon certains médias. Ce titre se termine par la voix d’une femme, fière que son enfant ait «brisé une malédiction générationnelle». Le premier titre, United in Grief («Unis dans la peine»), s’ouvre sur une chorale qui chante I hope you find some peace of mind in this lifetime («J’espère que tu trouveras un peu de paix intérieure dans ta vie»).

Grosse surprise, le nom de Kyrie Irving est cité dans le nouvel album de Kendrick Lamar, et pas forcément dans des termes élogieux.

Kendrick Lamar aussi a été circonspect par cette approche anti-vaccin. Et avec K.Dot, il n’y a pas que la musicalité qui compte, il y a aussi les paroles. Décidément, après l’énorme coup de pression de son GM Sean Marks au sujet de sa prolongation de contrat, le meneur des Nets passe une sale fin de semaine…

The rapper on Friday dropped his latest album, "Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers." It's his first studio album in five years since 2017's "Damn.".

Lamar dropped a new music video on Sunday for a song titled “The Heart Part 5." In a later verse, Lamar elaborates: "Demetrius is Mary-Ann now. Lamar is known as a virtuoso who constantly pushes musical and artistic boundaries with his projects. Lamar's new song “The Heart Part 5” is not on the album Variety called the song a "powerful, genre-shifting statement on transphobia."

The penultimate track from Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers quietly unpacks the rippling effects of family trauma, with an assist from Portishead's Beth ...

It’s a window into the source of Lamar’s insecurities and faults, both in his relationships and his self-worth. “My mother’s mother followed me for years in her afterlife/Starin’ at me on back of some buses, I wake up at night,” Lamar murmurs over a piano playing a simple yet somber progression. Through each of his releases, he’s gone to great lengths to paint scenes of his childhood and teenage years, conveying how the chaos of growing up in Compton informed every decision he’s ever made.

The rapper Kendrick Lamar released what some fans are calling a "barrier-breaking song" about accepting his transgender relatives.

He stopped her after a few verses, because the woman, who was white, sang the N-word along with him. But the fan added that there are "better ways" to convey that message. "In what universe is deadnaming and misgendering remotely acceptable?" He later raps that standing up for his cousin brought his family together. / The laws of the land or the heart, what’s greater?'" But he goes on to describe how when his relative picked him up from school, his friends "stare."

The song is insightful in ways, but Kendrick Lamar’s choice of language drew the ire of many. While Kendrick Lamar is unafraid to tackle difficult topics on his projects “Auntie Diaries” has established itself as one of the most controversial. “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” is no exception with its most prominent songs being of that nature. As of now there’s been no public animosity between Kendrick and the label or any of his labelmates, but excluding them in his final project is a curious decision. Regardless Kendrick Lamar’s album had so many people rushing to it that it gridlocked his page on Spotify and Apple Music. He’s at the point of reverence where his peers, fans and tastemakers speak of him as if he’s from another planet.

Kendrick Lamar is being showered with praise for his latest single "Auntie Diaries", in which he shares his support for the trans community.

kendrick isn’t being homophobic at all, he’s speaking on his ignorance and struggles with accepting his trans auntie. We are not about to "cancel" Kendrick over Auntie Diaries. The most powerful man in hip-hop wrote a whole song supporting trans rights and acknowledging the homophobia he participated in. Yo “Auntie Diaries” could be some REAL barrier-breaking stuff in hip-hop.

Summer Walker et Ghostface Killah sur Purple Hearts. Son cousin Baby Keem un peu partout, mais plus spécifiquement sur la saisissante Savior. Beth Gibbons, l’âme de Portishead, sur la poignante Mother I Sober, un des sommets de l’album, sur lequel le rappeur semble faire allusion à la présence controversée, sur la chanson Silent Hill, du rappeur Kodak Black, condamné (entre autres) pour agression sexuelle. « My auntie is a man now / I think I’m old enough to understand now », dit-il sur ce sublime texte qui traite autant de la tolérance à l’endroit des membres de la communauté LGBTQ que du pouvoir des mots servant à blesser, parfois les gais, parfois aussi les Noirs. Lorsque Lamar lève le ton et que les violons s’unissent dans le dernier tiers, c’est frissons garantis, interrompus par une des plus foudroyantes punchlines de l’histoire du rap. Nommer, comprendre, apprendre, corriger : le fil conducteur des dix-huit chansons de Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. Et au bout de l’écoute, de l’espoir ; à la toute fin de Mother I Sober, une mère parle ainsi à son enfant : « You did it, I’m proud of you. Lamar prend un ton conciliant, il parle plus qu’il ne rappe ; derrière lui, de vagues sonorités de violons passent subrepticement pour ne pas nous distraire de ce que le rappeur nous raconte : l’histoire de sa tante devenue un homme et d’un Demetrius (personnage cité sur son premier album) devenu Mary-Ann, et de l’influence que ces personnes ont eue sur lui. Mais outre les formules chocs, retenons avant tout la dimension confessionnelle de ses textes, Lamar se servant de son propre parcours pour comprendre le monde qui l’entoure. « I come from a generation of home invasions and I got daddy issues, that’s on me / Everything them four walls had taught me, made habits bury deep », confie-t-il sur Father Time, au milieu du premier disque. C’est aussi sur le second volet de l’album que l’on découvre les passages les plus touchants.

Lamar just announced a world tour to support the album, beginning Still others said that, flawed as the song is, it was meaningful to hear a rapper of Lamar's caliber -- he's the only rapper "My auntie became a man and I took pride in it," Lamar says on the new track, saying he "grew accustomed" to his uncle's transition as a young person.

On the heels of his fifth studio album, rapper Kendrick Lamar announced the Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers Tour, a 65-date world tour with Baby Keem.

Lamar has said he’s starting a new company, pgLang, with former TDE executive Dave Free. Tickets for his new tour go on sale to the general public May 20 on Lamar’s website, Oklama. The first tickets for the U.S. shows will be made available to Cash App customers through an exclusive ticket presale that begins May 19 for new and existing Cash App Cash Card holders. The Compton-bred artist will be joined by his cousin and “Family Ties” rapper Baby Keem at all the shows, while Tanna Leone, who is also featured on “Mr. Morale,” will be joining Lamar on select dates, according to promoter Live Nation. Lamar has scheduled seven shows in California in late August and early September. The “Humble” and “All the Stars” emcee will play the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on Aug. 30, the Oakland Arena in Oakland on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, Viejas Arena in San Diego on Sept. 6, the Honda Center in Anaheim on Sept. 7 and the Crypto.com Arena in downtown L.A. on Sept. 14 and 15. The 14-time Grammy winner announced the sprawling, global arena tour on Friday, which will extend from North America to Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The 65-date Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers Tour kicks off at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City on July 19 and wraps at the Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand, on Dec. 16. Kendrick Lamar will be taking his just-released and long-awaited fifth studio album, “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers,” on tour, including several stops in his native California.

Le rappeur américain n'avait pas sorti d'album depuis cinq ans. Introspectif et dense, son nouvel opus revient sur ses blessures d'enfance, ...

Même s’il n’habite plus à Compton, dans le sud de Los Angeles, Kendrick Lamar n’en finit plus de décrire les traumatismes de son enfance. La pochette rappelle dans sa mise en scène celle de 2012 : un polaroïd pris à Compton, avec les tontons qui posent leurs armes sur la table de la cuisine et le petit Kendrick assis sur leurs genoux. Le rappeur américain publiait le 9 mai, cinq jours avant son très attendu cinquième album, un titre censé annoncer et donner le ton de Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, son premier disque depuis qu’il a obtenu en 2017 le prestigieux Prix Pulitzer pour DAMN. The Heart Part 5 accompagné d’un clip vidéo où est utilisée la technologie du « deep fake » qui lui permet de prendre le visage d’icônes de la communauté noire (O. J.

Hot on the heels of releasing his anticipated new album "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers," Kendrick Lamar announced his Nashville return.

The North American leg of a tour supporting the album kicks off July 13 in Oklahoma City, running through Sept. 15, when it wraps in Los Angeles. Lamar returns to Bridgestone Arena nearly five years after headlining the venue in support of his Pulitzer Prize-winning 2017 album "DAMN." Hot on the heels of releasing his anticipated new album "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers," world-class rapper Kendrick Lamar announced Friday that he'll perform July 31 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

Hip-hop buffs and critics are itching to decipher Kendrick Lamar's next era when new album 'Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers' is released at midnight.

In his single "The Heart Part 5," he eulogizes himself, sending a last message to his loved ones in the final verse. "And to the killer that sped up my demise, I forgive you, just know your soul's in question." Lamar writes from an otherworldly place, hinting toward completion and separation from the rest of the world as a heavenly body. The first song, "Blood," ends with Lamar being shot. I’ve prayed for you all," Lamar wrote on his Oklama website. " 'Section .80' was more about the people, my debut album will be more about me. Many verses explore how being born in the '80s affected the life journey of his peers. The Compton-born rapper's fifth studio album (out Friday) has been mostly under wraps, with cover art released a little more than 24 hours ahead of the release ( which hints that he might be a father of two now) and no advance streams offered to journalists. "We will live forever, believe that. All right?" As I continue to pursue my life’s calling." "I feel joy to have been a part of such a cultural imprint," Lamar posted on his website in August, referencing Top Dawg and using the Oklama pseudonym.

The 34-year-old rapper is set to release his fifth studio album on Friday — his first release in half a decade. It's one of the most highly-anticipated ...

In 2018, Lamar acted as the executive producer for the “Black Panther” soundtrack, and appeared on half a dozen tracks. “The gloved hand on the right is taken from the infamous picture of O.J. Simpson in his 1995 murder trial, and the hand with a Band-Aid on it is Kobe’s after he won his fifth championship. The Struggles. The Success. And most importantly, the Brotherhood. May the Most High continue to use Top Dawg as a vessel for candid creators. “TPAB,” which won the Grammy for the Best Rap Album, is an incredibly ambitious and musically progressive album, one that incorporated elements of jazz, funk and electronic music. Last Sunday, Lamar dropped “The Heart Part 5” – the fifth instalment in a series of singles the rapper typically shares ahead of each new album release. For example, Kendrick takes 15 seconds to inhale and exhale in the middle of the song, which is the number of seconds required to check one’s heart rate. His fourth studio album, “DAMN,” was Lamar’s biggest commercial success. He also cuts the drums for Nipsey and Kobe, symbolizing the stoppage of a human heart beat.” It contained a blurry fax-like message, addressed “from the desk of oklama,” announcing Lamar’s forthcoming album would be released on May 13. In the song’s video — which opens with an esoteric statement: “I am. To the audience, we see what appears to be a gun, partially hidden in his pants. In the background is his fiancé Whitney Alford, cradling a newborn baby.

Since his 2017 album, “DAMN.,” the California rapper has won seven Grammys and the Pulitzer Prize for music. “Mr. Morale,” his fifth LP, is expected to make ...

To some extent, those may also serve as clues for the next stage of Lamar’s career. Even after Lamar’s extended absence, “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers” is expected to make a sizable opening-week splash on the Billboard albums chart. “DAMN.” was cited in 2018 as “a virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African-American life.” Lamar embraced the accolade, appearing in concert with a “Pulitzer Kenny” banner behind him. “Mr. Morale,” his fifth LP, is expected to make a big splash on the charts. The visual artist Lina Iris Viktor sued, saying her work was used without permission in the track’s video; the lawsuit was settled in late 2018. His 2017 album, “DAMN.,” won five Grammy Awards, though it lost album of the year to Bruno Mars’s “24K Magic.” (The rapper has 14 total Grammy wins.) Lamar, who grew up in Compton, Calif., and has made that area’s culture and struggles a central part of his music, also became the first rapper to receive the Pulitzer Prize for music.

Kendrick Lamar's new album, “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.” It's his first in five years. It follows “The Heart Pt. 5,” which he released earlier this week ...

While Rihanna is unfortunately not featured on the album, Lamar collaborated with several artists for the first time like Blxst, Amanda Reifer, Sampha, Taylour Paige, Summer Walker, Ghostface Killah, Kodak Black, Sam Dew, Tanna Leone, and Beth Gibbons. Baby Keem is the only person on the double album that has worked with him as a feature previously on “family ties” and “range brothers.” Lamar also samples Florence Welch in “We Cry Together,” giving her writing credit on the track and mixing her vocals with Paige. One song not on the album is “The Heart Pt. 5,” which K.Dot released earlier this week as the first taste of his Mr. Morale era, with one big step for man: a deepfake-filled video. For now, the new Kendrick album you’ve waited over five years for is here. Kendrick Lamar released his first album in over five years, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. As Lamar previously teased on his website, oklama.com, Mr. Morale is a double album with eighteen tracks.

The 18-track album features an eclectic mix of guests, including Ghostface Killah, Portishead's Beth Gibbons, Kodak Black, Summer Walker and Sampha.

Days before the release, Lamar posted its cover art, featuring fiancée Whitney Alford and him holding their two children, with Lamar in a bejeweled crown of thorns. Last month, Lamar also made a Coachella cameo with his cousin, Baby Keem, to perform their track “Family Ties,” which won a Grammy earlier this year. Lamar previously announced on his cryptic website, Oklama, that he will be starting a new company, pgLang, with former TDE executive Dave Free. Lamar works with several favorite producers such as Sounwave and Boi-1da on “Mr. Morale,” but the three-man team of Beach Noise — Matt Schaeffer, Johnny Kosich and Jake Kosich — are the breakout producers on this LP. They’re all over Baby Keem’s “The Melodic Blue” and produced “The Heart Part 5,” and their work is the centerpiece of new Lamar tracks such as “ United in Grief,” the brooding “ Silent Hill” and “ Auntie Diaries.” Expect them to enter the production A-List with this LP. Kendrick Lamar’s new album “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers” is both a return to form and the end of an era. The LP, Lamar’s fifth studio album, is his first new record after winning a Pulitzer Prize for 2017’s “Damn.” (though he gave nearly an album’s worth of work to the “Black Panther” soundtrack). It comes four months after Lamar performed at the Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood alongside his mentor Dr. Dre in a Compton-themed set.

Dans son cinquième album, il ne devrait pas se défiler. Le pseudonyme "Oklama" sous lequel il a lancé l'album et qui apparaît en ouverture du clip de The Heart Part 5 en atteste. 'Oklama' est donc une façon de s'adresser à sa communauté ('écoute, mon peuple'). S'il voulait échapper à son rôle de porte-parole, il ne se présenterait pas comme ça." Je suis parti d'une idée simple, de l'envie de me cultiver et de m'améliorer constamment, comme le faisait Malcolm", explique-t-il à Vice. Mais c'est surtout au travers de l'une de ses chansons, Alright, tirée de To Pimp a Butterfly, qui sert d'hymne aux manifestants, qu'il est le plus présent. "Ce sont les manifestants qui lui ont donné cette ampleur, détaille Elsa Grassy. Elle s'appuie sur un clip qui communiquait déjà un message politique, car on y voit par exemple l'arrestation musclée d'un Afro-Américain par la police. "Les rappeurs sont reconnus en tant qu'auteurs, pas seulement pour le groove ou le flow, mais aussi pour le sens des paroles, leur poids politique et social. C'est le roi là-bas." Denis Rouvre, le photographe français qui a réalisé la couverture de son troisième album, To Pimp a Butterfly, raconte à franceinfo une anecdote symbolique du poids du rappeur dans sa ville natale : "Un dimanche à 6 heures du matin, j'étais en train de m'installer avec mon matériel quand la police est arrivée. On m'a dit que je n'avais pas les autorisations. Ce troisième opus, imprégné de jazz et d'un discours très politique, enfonce le clou : des critiques conquis, un public acquis à sa cause et cinq Grammys pour couronner le tout, avec des hits comme King Kunta ou I. Il fait face à un groupe dissipé. "J'ai un peu galéré à garder le contrôle, mais je ne me suis pas senti de faire le chef, raconte-t-il. C'était sa manière de rendre hommage à son quartier et ses potes." Très tôt, ce dernier a voulu le protéger, en l'empêchant de prendre part à toutes leurs activités. Ses potes lui ont dit : 'Regarde ce que tu peux faire avec un micro, tu as des choses plus grandes à accomplir'. En cela, il est un 'good kid' dans une 'mad city'", résume l'auteur auprès de franceinfo. Kendrick Lamar ne réhabilite pas seulement l'image de la ville avec sa musique, il participe concrètement à rendre la vie des habitants meilleure, notamment celle des jeunes. "Je n'ai compris qu'au moment de la sortie du disque, en l'écoutant, que c'était une cover très politique.

KENDRICK LAMAR. Après la sortie surprise de la chanson "The Heart Part 5", le nouvel album de Kendrick Lamar doit paraître ce vendredi.

Kendrick Lamar utilise chacune de ces figures pour dénoncer la violence et le fait de la banaliser, mais s'interroge aussi sur sa responsabilité en tant que rappeur dans la société. Face à lui, une femme sur un lit, allaitant un bébé. Le média américain TMZ croit savoir qu'elle serait sa compagne de longue date, Whitney Alford et l'enfant que le rappeur tient serait leur fille de deux ans. De quoi attiser la curiosité des fans autour de ce nouvel album tant attendu.

Ca n'a échappé à personne Kendrick Lamar, attendu comme jamais, a fait son grand retour dans le rap game. King Kunta prévoit la sortie ce 13 mai 2022, ...

Alors que le nouvel album de Kendrick Lamar sortira cette nuit, à 00h01 précisément, le rappeur a dévoilé la pochette qui illustrera son projet.

D’ailleurs, dans son nouveau single, Kendrick Lamar fait une référence à ses enfants, et à sa femme. Et lorsqu’il le fait, c’est généralement pour dévoiler un nouveau projet. Kendrick Lamar semble toujours aussi bien soigner la sortie de ses opus.

Cinq ans après DAMN., qui lui a valu un prix Pulitzer, Kendrick Lamar est de retour avec un album double de 18 chansons, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.

Malgré le propos très dense, il y a moyen de hocher la tête, taper du pied et peut-être même danser en écoutant MM & TBS. N95 est un banga, comme on dit. Le tempo fait des montagnes russes d’une chanson à l’autre, c’est peut-être aussi ce qui fait qu’on écoute 18 chansons et qu’il n’y a pas de temps morts. À la fin de la première écoute, je ressens un mélange de tristesse, de pitié, de colère, de profonde compassion. Marissa : Le côté funky et jazzy de To Pimp a Butterfly n’y est pas autant. À mon avis, la présence de Kodak Black ne signifie pas que Kendrick appuie ses actions, mais j’ai l’impression qu’il veut s’assurer que sa réalité soit exprimée et légitimée. Je crois qu’il préfère faire savoir que « son peuple » existe plutôt que de le défendre. La répétition de « I can’t please everybody », dans la chanson Crown, résume bien ce que j’avance. Ne serait-ce que parce qu’il y a une musicalité qui tombe toujours dans le mille, c’est toujours agréable à l’oreille, selon moi. Il dit dans la première chanson qu’il est allé en thérapie et l’album semble être le prolongement de l’introspection qu’il a faite. C’est un exemple de flow qui s’adapte. Il parle de l’évolution de sa réflexion par rapport à une tante devenue un homme, à un cousin devenu sa cousine. Marissa : Une autre qui m’a donné des frissons et pas forcément dans le bon sens, c’est Worldwide Steppers. Ses paroles m’ont donné envie de mettre l’album sur pause, pour reprendre mon souffle. Kendrick le fait, il le chuchote. Marissa : Je dirais Savior. La chanson commence avec une voix qui dit « Kendrick made you think about it, but he’s not your savior ». En se confiant de manière si crue, il montre qu’il ne veut pas être perçu comme le messie, comme un sauveur. Il y a aussi la géniale Auntie Diaries, où il fait un lien entre la communauté noire et la communauté queer.

Lamar's long-awaited follow-up to Damn., and his final album for TDE, has arrived at last.

Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers follows his Pulitzer Prize–winning 2017 full-length Damn. At long last, Kendrick Lamar has released his new album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, his final album for Top Dawg Entertainment. Lamar officially announced the record last month with a link to his Oklama website, which revealed the LP title and release date. Listen to Kendrick Lamar’s new album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers below.

After a five-year wait, Kendrick Lamar dropped the double album, "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers," a musical odyssey that stays true to his intensity.

“Mother I Sober”: For almost seven minutes, Lamar rolls through a list of heartbreaking grievances and vivid descriptions of the generations of women who have affected him in some way. As Lamar intones “I choose me, I’m sorry,” with a shrug in his voice, it’s apparent that he’s not apologizing, but, rather, continuing his journey to look at his reflection without remorse. “This the kind of (expletive) that couples do?” wonders Lamar. Paige’s script, meanwhile, includes the verbal grenade, “You’re the reason R. Kelly can’t recognize that he’s abusive.” Lamar also alludes to his lengthy absence between new releases: “Writer’s block for two years, nothin’ moved me/Asked God to speak through me, that’s what you’re hearing now.” “Count Me Out”: The first song on the “Mr. Morale” section of the album finds Lamar grappling with the contradictions in his head (“I care too much, wanna share too much/ In my head too much, I shut down too”) and nodding to the pandemic while also remaining reflective (“Masks on the babies, mask on an opp/ Wear masks in the neighborhood stores when you shop/ But a mask won’t hide who you are inside”). But Lamar, 34, never cedes the spotlight – as he shouldn’t – on what will rightfully be considered his musical opus.

Cinq ans après le succès de son précédent opus, "DAMN", le rappeur originaire de Compton dévoile ce vendredi 13 mai son nouvel album "Mr Morale & the Big ...

"Ce qui fait entre autres la renommée de Kendrick Lamar c’est qu’il n’hésite pas à se montrer vulnérable et à avouer ses faiblesses. Comme seul avant-goût de l’album, Kendrick Lamar a dévoilé le 9 mai le clip de The Heart Part 5. Pas de doute, on est bien en phase de promotion d’un album de Kendrick Lamar", plaisante Nicolas Rogès. Pour marquer un tournant dans sa carrière, Kendrick Lamar change de pseudonyme. Comme l’explique l’auteur et journaliste spécialisé, cette propension à s’inscrire à contre-courant de ce qui se fait sur la scène musicale américaine est devenue un fil rouge dans la carrière du rappeur. À ce moment-là, il s’est vite rendu compte que ces récits ne le représentaient pas vraiment", note Nicolas Rogès.

Kendrick Lamar montre avec "Mr Morale & The Big Steppers" qu'il reste le maître absolu du hip-hop.

Sur We Cry Together, il s’en donne ainsi à cœur joie avec la comédienne Taylor Paige. Kendrick lui donne du " fuck you bitch " et du " pussy ". Elle lui répond par " Fuck you nigger " et " your mama is a bitch ". Les radios vont être contentes. On l’entend ainsi marié à des sons électro sur N95 et sur l’excellent Wordlwide sur lequel Kendrick Lamar refait en mode introspectif le parcours de sa vie. Le premier renvoyait à un communiqué succinct de deux lignes annonçant la sortie de son nouvel album “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” ce vendredi 13 mai sur son label TPE (Top Dawg Entertainment). Le second conduisait à une photo où on votait sa main tenir deux CD intitulés “Master Copy”, laissant supposer une grosse matière accumulée depuis son album “DAMN” et le soundtrack du film Black Panther en 2018. Sur le premier album, qui séduit par sa diversité, Kendrick Lamar décline toute sa palette vocale car l’homme sait chanter, minauder (la ballade Purple Hearts avec les featurings de la chanteuse rap/r&b d’Atlanta Summer Walker et Ghostface Killah du Wu-Tang Clan) et aussi se montrer vindicatif. Premier artiste musical à avoir reçu le prix Pulitzer (pour son album “ Damn” en 2017), Kendrick Lamar est aussi passé maître dans l’art de la concision en manière de communication. L’amour, la perte et le chagrin ont perturbé ma zone de confort.

Kendrick Lamar has revealed the artwork for his highly anticipated album, "Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers," which is scheduled for release Friday.

Lamar recently released his first new single in five years, "The Heart Part 5," along with a video of himself using technology A woman who appears to be his fiancée Whitney Alford is also seen in the image, holding an infant. Last month, Lamar teased the new album on social media, posting a document posted to his "oklama" website, revealing that it would be released on Friday.

Kendrick Lamar a dévoilé son nouvel album, "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers", et les réactions sont dithyrambiques.

De la tracklist aux collaborations, en passant par la couverture de l’album, il avait tout gardé secret de Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers jusqu’à ce vendredi. Connu pour sa prose et des textes forts dans lesquels il a pris l’habitude de dénoncer sans détour la condition des personnes noires aux États-Unis, le musicien de 34 ans a toujours cultivé le mystère autour de sa musique.
