I don't follow contemporary rap very closely. Is it still mostly materialism and misogyny?

If you're gonna listen to one song on the album, IMO it should be this one:

heart pt. 6 is also excellent

Kendrick is different.

there's still a lot of that in mainstream rap but Kendrick has never been like that, he's more of an empathetic storyteller. not gonna say he's never said anything problematic but I don't recall him bragging about wealth or disrespecting women, in fact he's very much against that sort of thing
