I’m still wondering who got that title

Maybe lil baby?

They keep taking away their best reviewers. Craig SJ was a very good critic for them and he's moved on to be a writer for Vulture now.

Definitely Lil Baby. He's way ahead of everyone else in his class.

Did yall see who wrote the article... We need to make a review thread to at this point.

dam

well maybe if it was good it would have gotten a better score

but its pitchfork so idk

Good writers are expensive and when you’re pitchfork them brand sells not the reviews

Stereogum in their renaissance in 2011-2013 were the only ones to actually have better write ups and then they got poached like crazy.

That's true, plus many of their writers are guest critics aka "freelance"/jobless writers looking for something stable so the moment they can land a position at any publication, they're gone.

The way he’s been smoking legends is insane, even 3 stacks wanna work with him

His next album better be a classic

This a whole damn hit piece

What’s hilarious yet surreal is that the moment Jack marketed himself as the new face of this culture and the one to lead the next generation is when he got disapproved collectively

One thing about a music career, especially as a rapper, is that moments are VERY important. If you miss your moment, it's damn near impossible to get back the momentum/boost you would have gotten had you delivered. I believe that's something Big Sean is still paying for today. After following up a decent debut album in Finally Famous (2011) with Detroit (2012), he dropped the ball with the abomination that was Hall of Fame (2013) and even though he bounced back and dropped his best effort yet with Dark Sky Paradise (2015), there are people who gave up on him as soon as Hall of Fame happened. Dark Sky Paradise is still his best-performing album but that misstep is what kept him from being seen as one of the leaders of his generation today. It's quite sad when you think about it.

I have no doubt about it being incredible. It's one of my most anticipated albums of the year.

Yer you can’t force that s***. It will never work.

He deserves it

Y’all gotta understand playing it safe doesn’t make you exempt from criticism never compromise who you are in order to please the masses people are gonna come around eventually

Exactly most writers aren’t employed by a publications and are contracted for articles and reviews and then they get paid per impression etc so they chase viral quotes.

It’s partially pitchforks fault cause they popularised the meme review with the monkey peeing and the Gambino review but yeah the writing in music criticism has fallen off cause the journalists are more accessible now.

if the people don't f*** with you, it's DOA

2.9 too low tho

You’re a good poster bro @thegreatdivine
