Are you fun at parties?
No, but not because I have to run my opinion of art through absurd moral checklists
Weird to use the "not fun at parties" thing as an attack then IMO. It'd be like Chud making fun of Argo's height

If this album was put out by some nobody it wouldn't register. Other than someone maybe laughing at how bad We Cry Together is.

There's all kinds of parties. I don't really go to many all-out ragers these days. But I like socializing

This type of claim is obviously impossible to prove or refute, but in any case I'm not in a position to defend this album -- I've only listened to the first five tracks (and I liked them). I'll give it a full listen over the weekend

The Rolling Stone Music Now podcast about this record is worth a listen. Kendrick's biographer Marcus J. Moore talks about how he hears the record. Some interesting thoughts and insights. It's a good conversation.
