Great review. Every line was spot on

Informative too. He's always talking about the genre as a historical narrative. He's laid out what he thinks makes hip-hop good or bad pretty clearly. He's a purist dusthead who racializes everything, but I respect his transparency and lack of patience for mid.

Pitchfork really gave Kanye’s album the devil number to really diss

imagine caring about post-conde nast pitchfork

They’re just a platform for big labels to push albums with bought reviews

Who cares?

Pitchfork of old are dead, just read the MBDTF review and then read this review. I'd argue Kanye was more hated back just before MBDTF and yet the Donda review seems 10x more spiteful. How many times they gunna bring up he has features like Manson and Dababy?

what’s with this big day praise ive been seeing lately that s*** is ASS

You know one reason donda might be getting a lower score from critics:

I imagine it wouldn’t be fun to listen to this album repeatedly as work

I’m enjoying listening to it while running, working, cooking, etc. - but if I had to listen to a 2 hour album repeatedly for a small amount of money while doing nothing else, I might be less generous with it

I bet money on this happening. Cultural magazines now are basically organization that exist to maintain the hegemony and if something goes against that it’s ripe for criticism for them. It’s just blatant. It’s all marketing themselves as being on the right side of history to keep up a good brand image.

Lol

They fell off since

I thought everyone alive agreed it was ass, and I’m a Chance fan

Pretty much derailed his career as hip hops golden boy

I misunderstood op I thought you were saying his score should of been higher too

Some of u guys care way too much about this stuff.

Tbh you cant be too surprised if critics react to you doing deliberately provocative stuff like the manson appearances lol. Like I'm actually annoyed at kanye more for that cos I think he was easy heading to mild critical redemption with this album before then

yall gonna make a thread about every entity that trashes donda bruh?

just enjoy the album

you right you right

They are cucks for still reviewing his music

Y’all do this dance with p4k where it’s f*** em if it’s a bad review but headlined on threads when its BNM. Which one is it?

Called it

ye fanatics in shambles

I know he’s done it now but this s*** still funny

Marilyn Manson and DaBaby are actually ON the album tho and this was completely on KanYe. So I don't see how its "outside bias" if people point that out and are rubbed the wrong way by it.

Also, everyone on this earth is bias. Which makes you comparing Donda to Big Day even funnier, because I rarely saw yall actually reviewing that album based on it's music. Most of you just already didn't like Chance and shat on him, which is why you saw more MEMES of that album than actual criticism.
