A 6.9 for the big day was so they didnt look insane after giving coloring book a 9.1
Gave Coloring Book a 9.1 didnt make top 200 albums of the decade, gave Blonde a 9.0 and gave it best album of the decade
Colouring book deserves all its flowers but yeah how they ranked the top albums over the past decade had no rhyme or reason
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
Fair point. I know plenty of folks my age who have hit their breaking point with him as well. One of my buddies from college who used to defend him to the death completely gave up on him after the MAGA s***. On the one hand I get it, but on the other this is what and who you signed up for.
You think MBDTF is seen as a classic because of pitchfork? This is something a dumb c***would say
I didnt even say that tho, i said right after that it would've been considered great no matter what but to deny the critics had an impact, the fact is they gave it another level of legitimacy that whether u like it or not impacts the way ppl percieve the album even to this day
its why mfs who dont even know rap will go on about how great this album is even though his first 3 are just as good if not better
Why do they matter so much man its a damn publication with random writers you don't know the names of. They just music fans too but get paid and have agendas
Who cares brah. I get it when the scores really high or a 10 because they spent years carving their attention off the fact they barely give certain scores but yall realize yall getting mad at a freelance journalist rn right? Like not even a staff writer

This is beside the point but I feel like we're almost ready to acknowledge that the Fantasy Trilogy (808s-Yeezus) is just as influential and imo as good as the Dropout Trilogy (CD-Grad)
10 years since Yeezus is going to f*** me up emotionally, but that's when I feel like people are going to start to see how f***ing perfect those three albums are
Colouring book deserves all its flowers but yeah how they ranked the top albums over the past decade had no rhyme or reason
Yeah but a 9.1 higher than Blonde 2 points below TPAB was ridiculous and they clearly were going w the hype of Chance seeming like the next big guy then completely abandoned it
Y’all didn’t have a problem with pitchfork until now
Nigga pitchfork has been getting trashed on here for years niggas went at a writer on KTT1 on his page
Why are y'all pretending that Kanye and his fans haven't hated P4K since TLOP?

a lotta users been acting brand new in general since this dropped
Sorry, but we're only listening to black critics on this one

Kanye really got them in shambles like I really think people are just mad he was successful.
This feels like resentment cause he dared to still be big after getting cancelled
Reviews are important, they just have gone out the window when discussing Kanye..since the Trump stuff. To the media he's basically Manson, R. Kelly without any real scandal. He's not going to get great reviews again all around, ever imo.
They sometimes get it right tho

i see kanye fans have turned on p4k now that kanye getting bad reviews
But be so quick to post MBDTF’s score
You’re certainly not posting TochiRTA unironically?
Tochi has interesting opinions on hip-hop
Can't say the same for Pitchfork
The scores only exist to make you read their writeups.
Stop falling for this advanced clickbait u nerds.
..and every other mainstream review publication. They simply cannot grasp the idea of reviewing music as music without bringing in outside bias related to Trump/Manson etc. Simply embarrassing, and I hope people being calling them out for it
This honestly cannot be life lol
