dude over there coping because he knows he’s cherry-picking numbers, i love to see it

Right half the people that be reviewing and criticizing s*** don’t even know the slang, ether too old/washed or not apart of the culture

In either case they should be the last people whose opinions count but for some reason it’s the opposite.

Lemme go check a nigga's metacritic score so I can see whether or not Ima like this rapper album

👌

5/10 album

not even mid, that’s below average if we’re doing a traditional grading curve

crazy

Why you quoting me I thought you was gon let me enjoy my 5/10 album lol

im just mirroring you so you understand how much of a cuck you are, cherry picking sales numbers while ignoring critics

so fascinating that sales that have absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the music count, but niggas giving out their takes as journalists don’t count and it has to directly do with the actual quality of the music itself

sanctioned cuckoldry

What songs are bad bro

yeah and KTT foreigners and suburbanites knowing the slang or “being part of the culture” when they genuinely think niggas like Future and Travis have 3-5 classics in their discography count

give it a break, buddy

the critics gave it a 5/10, ask them

y’all wanted to talk numbers, let’s talk about them right now

You know how crazy it is to let anything inform your opinions on forms of entertainment?

Victory Lap one of my favorite albums of all time. I have no idea what it's metacritic score, his first week sales, I don't know or care to know lol Those things inform discussion and push discussion along, but niggas actually use those things to support their opinions on music, that's CRAZy to me

My favorite movies of all time ain't ever won an Oscar. Who gives a f*** bro hahaha

I don’t think a single drake album has the critical reception it deserves. He’s like the opposite of Kendrick who’s the critic darling.

This point they just review him as a character they hate 💀

Real measure of drake music is real life , outside and somewhat sales seeing how much people are replaying his s*** in real. I don’t even love FATD as an album yet but it’s so extreme and exaggerated with drake compared to any other artist
life

i agree, so let’s not disingenuously focus on sales and charts to inflate our favorite artists on here

do we have a deal?

You funny as s*** bro ion know who you directing this heat towards but it definitely ain’t me I’ma just assume you letting off some steam

you just sat here and discredited all of these journalists and critics as “too old” “not part of the culture” etc. as if the people on this site can even articulate their thoughts on music past “mid” or “classic”

like y’all are crazy as hell on here dawg lmao

at least these journalists can put together a couple of paragraphs actually talking about the music

there’s like 5 users max on here that can even do that, their opinions weigh more than most of this site that’s for sure

I’m asking YOU. You yourself said it’s 5/10 a few post ago. If that’s your opinion stand on it. If it’s really a 5/10 for you it should be easy for you to identify at least 12 terrible songs, that’s simple arithmetic

that’s not how grading albums work, this isn’t sports nigga

My nigga

You told me you wasn't reading my s*** now you are

What are you doing lol

And I have never said critical reception shouldn't be a topic of discussion. Just like sales. It's all a part of the music business, all a part of the industry.

You cannot in one breathe say critical reception matters, but sales don't. ESPECIALLY for mega artists with huge fanbases.

All of it is data points. EYE have never used sales, critical receptions, to inform my opinion on whether I like one's music or film or not. Kalan Frfr's 222 was in my top 5 albums for 2022, Absolutely have no idea what his first week #'s are.

”And I have never said critical reception shouldn't be a topic of discussion. Just like sales. It's all a part of the music business, all a part of the industry.”

alright no problem here then

Megacritic only panders to Kendrick since he made that song about his transformer aunt.

that must explain why Section 80 is pretty well acclaimed too

Because they’re rating it as a body of work, which Kendrick makes really well. Drake isn’t really an album artist and hasn’t been for a while tbh.

Victory Lap love Young Nigga -> Dedication -> Blue Laces 2 -> Hustle & Motivate
