Thank you for your response.

How did you find this site?

Have you been a longtime lurker or did you create an account just to address the backlash?

Alphonse gave the right score but ultimately the written review is so awful to the point where I question the angle/perspective Alphonse listened to the album from.

Tbh, it's not the same reviewer

But this guy - alphonse pierre, apparently gave Honestly Nevermind the same score (which is crazy to me bc ts was not good).

Look, I get it. Not everyone is going to agree with my take, and that’s part of the job. When I review an album, I’m not writing to confirm your bias or cater to fandoms—I’m giving you my honest perspective, backed by years of listening to and studying music. That’s the gig.

Kendrick is undeniably one of the most important artists of our time, but not everything he drops is above critique. GNX is ambitious, no doubt, but ambition doesn’t automatically equal greatness. My review wasn’t about tearing him down; it was about engaging with the music critically. If that didn’t line up with your feelings about the album, cool—we’re allowed to disagree.

But let’s be real: the energy some of y’all bring to these threads makes it clear you don’t want reviews; you want validation. That’s not what I’m here for. Let the music speak for itself, and if you think I’m off the mark, fine—but at least try to engage with the points instead of coming with pitchforks. Respectfully.

After a few days with it, I'd give it the same or maybe a 7. His weakest IMO.
The beef affected his mindset so much that he gets annoying after half the album.
I don't need 8 tracks about how you strangled a GOAT and you are the best ever, give me more of Luther or The Heart pt 6 or Gloria.
Same thing that happened with Views after the Meek beef.
People gonna eat it up tho.

You got Dodger Blue, Reincarnated, GNX, and Man at the Garden as well that have nothing to do with the beef. Two tracks that are with/for his West Coast homies that's just them rapping on some cool s***. A heavy reflective track, and a storytelling track.

"I don't need eight tracks about how you strangled a goat and you are the best ever"

Nigga just talking lol the nigga put out Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers where for most of the album he's s***ting on himself. God forbid he decides to drop an album after that where he's talking s*** and flexing.

I’m not questioning your credentials but the fact that you’re posting comments like this on KTT says a lot. You sound like most KTT members who spend their time trolling on the forum.

Just looking at your profile makes me instantly dismiss the idea of reading any review you write and I don’t mean that as an insult.

I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold

I don’t know anyone with decades of experience in this field working for a reputable publication like Pitchfork, who would post these kinds of comments ("wrong") on KTT.

Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if you had another account just for trolling. There’s no professionalism here at all lol.

People dedicate entire careers to album reviews and they definitely aren’t hanging out on KTT posting responses like this.

Pitchfork really hiring anyone now, huh?

It’d be one thing to say you don’t like the album, but why say s*** that don’t make sense?

Reincarnated “more technically impressive than substantively” and made out of reaction to Taylor Made, whole time mf talking about his actual real past life regression experience he had around Mr. Morale using the best pac-esque flow I ever heard next to 03 em

The west coast sound of the album “doesn’t sound genuine” ??? explain what genuine is my dawg. I could hear g perico all over this album

and then the same Savior Complex nonsense that nobody can actually explain what the f*** they mean by it. alphonse a FD Signifier ass music critic. Fake deep platitudes and s*** that don’t make any type of sense
