    y’all doing wayyyy too much for searching that dudes Twitter

    maybe just stop desperately thirsting for someone to validate your opinion and getting mad if they dont

    if you like this album then enjoy it
    You don’t need pitchfork to tell you you’re right for liking it

    I thought him saying the listening parties were worse than the Ye party was the most insane thing I've ever read - I had to do the Advanced Twitter Search to see if he has any long-standing hatred for Kanye.

    And I was right.

    So it makes sense why he would say the dumbest s*** I've read in a review.

    It’s hard to be that vulnerable especially with clips of your mom and know people gonna trash your dead mom . There was people saying f*** Kanye and his mom ( not niche accounts ) like verifiers

    of course, but when talking solely about the music, that track + more vocals with donda would've improved the albums execution of its themes imo

    Kanye is great at A&R, and that’s part of the frustration here. We already know he can corral some of the best artists around on a charcuterie board’s worth of beats, even if Drake, Kenny Beats, and West’s own protege Travis Scott have since better wielded this mantle.

    This part stupid as hell

    Travis sure that’s a valid argument
    But Drake??? When has Drake been about pulling in a ton of guests and taking a backseat to A&R
    Same with Kenny - dude does projects with artists but afaik he’s never made a Kenny beats album w a ton of guests

    lol y’all wyling it wouldn’t have made a super drastic difference. The album wasn’t like “ she got to be on every song “ it was partially about grief and letting go of the image of her that was once a dream but now haunts him

    The sad thing is you might be right. I still think they would find something to hate him for if he didn't have those two on it. Like he stalled the release date multiple times or just not liking him at all.

    The fact that these ‘critics’ don’t recognise the irony of no longer reviewing music based on music - it’s an unironically dystopian concept

    I know more people IRL who watch Fantano's reviews or certain react channels than I know people who check the latest P4k/other generic critic review (being 0). The truth is that written music journalism is on its way out and has been since the mid 2010's. Dying niche-level journalism that peaked in the late 00s/early 10s

    i dont even like Fantano but maybe i should put some more respect on his name tbh since it seems like he actually focuses on the musical content in his reviews

    That being said, R.I.P. cokemachineglow and Tiny Mix Tapes, two lower exposure sites that always stayed true to reviewing the music

    Literally two minutes after suggesting it's weird that I took 30 seconds to see if a music critic had a prior bias towards Kanye

    Yeah the amount of times I've disagreed with a score is absurd, but ultimately, he does talk about the music and only seems to sometimes wash over the personal side of things (maybe to setup the review or for context for certain themes)
