It’s just crazy how positive and receptive everyone was being towards Kanye after the first two listening parties, but then everyone wants to flip the script and pretend that everything we’ve seen and heard in the last month has been garbage because they saw DaBaby and Manson in Chicago

Like it’s actually mind boggling

and this is why, despite all the hate he gets, I still like Fantano. At a minimum, while he talks about controversy and outside album stuff, he usually just reviews and gives his honest opinion on the music

How did he dox him?

Jail: 0
Spirit Alive: 0
Lord I Need You: 0

Just remembered Pitchfork gave the Big Day a 6.9

But thats exactly what theyre doing lol. Theyre addressing the points PF made: like the 4 paragraph explanation of rape man bad, homophobia man bad

Do you know what doxing is lol

He’s a public journalist. This is his Twitter.

Wow that review and score is going to age horribly.

Pitchfork is so f***ing washed

Enough said. They should delete their f***ing website

If the big day is a 6.9/10, DONDA is a 200/10

Aye I don’t care about pitchfork at all but the reviewer actually a cool nigga. Shoutout bruh

Ikr music outlets were actually praising Kanye’s stunts in the beginning

Holy s***

“somehow worse than Pablo event” literally a beloved and legendary moment in hip hop that people cherish wtf is wrong with this critic

Peppa Pig's album harder than both

“Why the hell you hatin so damn hard?

Someone must pay you”

Yeah pitchfork pays this bozo

69 is good

The score is what staff writers gave ÷ the number of said writers

Lol ain’t no writer gonna be in that room like “ imma give it a 10” because they will feel judged

Its not a 10, a fan would rate at 9, if we are being technically critical it drops to 8, if youre a hater it goes down to 7-6.

I know it’s not a 10 my point is due to controversy that system doesn’t work well

Concept gives a reason for songs to be on the album even if they are not mastepieces. Conceptual album you should listen from beginning to the end to taste the whole palette, but if album doesn't have a concept then nothing changes of you stop on a third track etc.
I feel like when Kanye took those Donda moments off the album it lost some score from me as it lost some of its' character.
Also nowadays most of the rappers that people are talking about don't just dump a new portion of songs, as it seems like a bad taste, instead they try to link it to some theme, or to tell some story. Drake even distinguished More Life when he called it a playlist, so people won't consider it a part of his album run.
Even Damon Albarn from Gorillaz aknowledge it in some interview saying that Humanz is a playlist of songs which they created having fun in studio and not some connected together piece of work.

Due to the multifaceted aspect of artists seem as authers, they'll review their actions packed together, their critic darlings are indie acts who kiss their ass

It's not how it works
Chance is the Rapper and from Kanye people literally expect to change their whole perception of rap with every release.

Cardi B praise was a bigger let down?
