Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers takes many angles, however, one that may go overlooked is Kendrick claiming his humanity by taking himself off the pedestal many people place him on. Many Kendrick fans look at the rapper as a type of moral authority in Hip-Hop because of his talent to examine society throughout his music. This all came to a boiling point during the protests of 2020 when the American public demanded to hear from Kendrick, a demand that was ultimately not met. Throughout the album, specifically on ‘Savior’ Kendrick references the situation while attempting to remind listeners that he is not trying to be anyone’s savior. The appeal of relieving himself of the pressures that comes with being looked upon as a savior may be a motivating factor behind Kendrick featuring Kodak Black throughout the album, using the F-word on ‘Auntie Diaries,’ and admitting to cheating on his partner. With these possibly calculated mistakes, Kendrick attempts to reclaim his humanity by displaying instances of imperfection. Kendrick’s attempt to reclaim his status as an imperfect being could also be the start of an artistic rebranding, ultimately freeing him from his current expectations and allowing him to take more artistic risks. The new risks Kendrick Lamar may plan to take could surface in his new artistic projects like the comedy he’s developing for Paramount.
