Salutes to this man. I’ve never understood the hate for him, especially around these parts. In a world where rap criticism is being overrun by white hipsters that don’t know anything about the culture, Alphonse stands as a voice of reason. Never seen many bad takes from him and he’s funny asf. It’s time we give him his flowers.
Post your favorite reviews and Alphonse moments
I don’t like black hipsters either so no
No
he's grown on me ngl
real life idc what niggas think of his opinions, i still think he’s valuable regardless because he puts a lotta shine on niggas that might not have gotten that look from anywhere else past the city/region they come from
like the platforning of DMV artists for exampls, aint nobody else getting Paco Panama on pitchfork bro
KTT feuding with Pitchfork writers is deep lindy but in this case I’m rocking with Alphonse’s just because he’s the only one still popping

Facts, great list. Love how he digs to find quality, interesting, underground rap when so many people have seemingly written the genre off in the past couple years just due to lackluster mainstream releases. Even if you don’t agree with him his love of the game and the effort he puts into trying to put people onto new stuff is a breath of fresh air and needed now more than ever
