Oct 9, 2023·editedAccording to critics and people who get paid to talk about music he been trash since Views so why is he arguably bigger than ever? You would think if people really thought an artist was bad they would just stop listening to them and they would flop. Happens all the time. If his music is as bad as people try to make it out to be why are they listening?
You can’t get carried this far off Stans and casuals alone somebody is lying here lol
S*** is really fascinating, I be tryna understand the psychology of this s*** because I be dead ass perplexed by people’s reception to his music
He’ll have a 40 on metacritic and simultaneously occupy the top 25 spots on the Hot 100
Like how tf is that possible lol
Oct 9, 2023It's just popular to bash his album and it's been that way since takecare.
Oct 9, 2023·1 replyHoly s***, this some hot garbage, but I can't stop listening
Oct 9, 2023I go out and people are out discussing how bad it is
Heard 1 guy say today “I can’t stop spinning it and fathom how bad this s*** is. All he has to do is make another IFYRTITL “ etc

We have to acknowledge there's simply a disparity between avid music enthusiasts and casual listeners

critics judge albums as a whole, while the hot 100 shows how much each song is played individually that week. those two metrics got nothing to do with each other. not sure why you're confused.

But how could an album where all 23 of its tracks is being played more than every other song in the country be a “bad album as a whole”?
S*** is contradictory asf
And I could see if this was the first time but again this has more or less been the case since Views
If the music was REALLY bad and people didn’t like it they would have long since given up on his music would they not?
It’s not like we HAVE to tap in everytime he drops just because he’s him lol. People are listening to this man by choice and consistently streaming him to the top yet saying he’s ass. S*** is a cultural head scratcher

I don’t think people fully grasp how wild this s*** is lmao
Like imagine an album in the 80s occupying ALL TOP 25 SPOTS on the hot 100 simultaneously lmao s*** would be like Thriller on crack, people would’ve lost their s*** if that happened and it would still be being talked about by old heads now

Fast and Furious never took themselves too seriously yet people do, it’s mind boggling
Oct 9, 2023Streaming farms sadly I still haven’t heard the album and none of my 58 cousins have either (I have a large family)

People that enjoy his music aren't as vocal as the people that hate on it (That goes for any artist really)

Also why aren’t critics and media personalities held accountable for being out of touch with the marketplace ?
Them constantly screaming “THIS IS BAD” and the numbers saying the opposite is like a weather man being wrong about the weather every day and not getting fired lol
