Didn’t even bother reviewing monster. Once he started heating in the streets again they reviewed beast mode and onwards. But people really tossed him to the sidelines after honest. Bruh dropped a classic while everyone was sleeping. Legendary
Yes sir, was interesting period
i loved honest (the song), i won, and move that dope off honest. it had some s*** on there
I remember this vid from ktt1 days classic
Future wasn’t slept on tho Pitchfork was just out of touch per usual
people were definitely kind of over him before his legendary run

Ehhhhh he was the underdog after Honest flopped mildly, still had some good street singles. I’d say “over him” is just a bit of a stretch. Rap culture is very unforgiving and Monster wouldn’t have popped the way it did if Honest was as irredeemable as it’s made out to be
Sometimes hard to believe i been listening to this nigga since 2010
Somehow always feels fresh and relevant
Can’t believe we really had a nerd era where suburban nerds checked on pitchfork lol
Even till this day some dweebs still care about critics

maybe a little harsh you right but nobody was really checking for him

Also lotta other acts was coming up or steaming hot
He even had a ft back then with Kanye iirc
Was a transition from that backpack/conscious/real rap into the trap dominating era that started in 2015, which he was undoubtedly the face of
So maybe this switch from the blogs to the social media(Vine) being the "judges" of the music also helped this alot(Fetty Wap, RHQ, OG Maco...)

Knew you must be from old ktt talking about pitchfork funny how relevant they used to be
Honest deserves way more respect than it gets
Sucks when people ignore something great just because it’s more accessible than usual
