OP a genius, finally we can contain the arguing to one thread
i am making it easier for the mods to regulate
Edit : i was supposed make this when we had drake allegations thread couple nights ago but i was banned from posting any new threads at that time
His reviews are pretty obviously influenced by his need to pander to his audience or build controversy for more views. Not really useful as a critic
“troublemaker”
