cacfork

sure

They would never have the guts to pull some s*** like this again and I really miss the Pitchfork that did:

pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/9464-shine-on

yeah idk how i really feel about donda rn, i love it now but i gotta see how i feel later sometimes songs don't hit you until weeks/months later

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO

I understand why they focus hard on Kanye as the art and the artist go almost hand in hand for donda. however, just because Kanye is wack doesn’t mean the album is wack. the reviewers should’ve discussed the music more

lucki makes breakup music for losers so no

the reviewer has nothing to do with the score though that’s the thing this thread is stupid

it’s a collective of opinion it’s not based off whatever the review says that’s just who they let be in charge of the article

I’m not talking specifically about pitchfork but the reviewers in general. Ik what u mean though

I don’t know anyone over like 27 that enjoys Donda and all the editors that decide the score are like 40 so it tracks

In my reviews (video) I will discuss the MUSIC

You think MBDTF is seen as a classic because of pitchfork? This is something a dumb c***would say

Come on now I'm 27 and I feel old as it as

You're right though about their editors. Idk I'd bet anyone who didn't grow up with Kanye (so maybe cutoff in mid-30s rn?) is having a hard time digesting his current persona.

And it’s effected how they’ve reviewed the past 5 solos albums

TBD getting a 6.9 is actually the most reasonable score I’ve ever seen someone give it

This revisionist history

I'ma tell yall like Pitchfork told me, f*** yall niggas im outta here

I think it’s the opposite. I think most people that are old enough to remember watching the All Falls Down video on MTV just don’t enjoy 2021 Kanye

The Big Day > Donda

Real

It's not seen as a classic because of Pitchfork, it's seen as a classic because it's a classic. But a major part of the reason that even the most snobby critics recognize it as such was that Pitchfork gave it a 10 at the peak of their industry clout, the first 10 since Kid A no less I think. Sad but true - they really did have that kind of pull, especially with white people that thumbed their nose up to and including 808s because a black man was behind the art.

im not sure if thats reviewing the actual thriller album or just the anniversary deluxe part

generally in scoring artists' work is compared to their previous work, so the 6.0 is relative to ye's previous albums, one of which received a 10.0
