pimpinI’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?
Wow, you wrote a whole essay just to say you don’t read my reviews. Thanks for the dedication. For the record, I don’t have a troll account… yet. But honestly, who needs "professionalism" when I can just post here and see what the real culture heads think?
Pitchfork isn’t hiring "just anyone" though. They hired me. Stay mad
Nov 26, 2024ice coldLook, 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.
An opinion about the music is one thing but to keep on making baseless assumptions and mental gymnastics to link the album's content to the beef just to diminish it is another
You really pressed play on reincarnated and your first thought was yup maybe Kendrick made that one just to spite Drake over Taylor Made?

........so just anyone lol

This is exactly what I'm talking about...
You definitely not qualified to write reviews for Pitchfork which has significant influence and can shape the opinions of many but you’ve shown you’re completely unprofessional.
"don't have a troll account...yet"
I can’t take your reviews seriously after seeing how you act on KTT lol.
Social media has ruined professionalism fr 10 years ago, no legit publication would let their writers post stuff like this.
It’s hard to take you seriously when you’re posting comments like "stay mad".
You making their brand look bad and what's up with the Goku banner? Yeah, you ain’t serious.

Respectfully..... Your review is absolute dogshit and you reek of self importance. Coming into a forum to DOUBLE DOWN on your s*** review is hilarious. Your reasonings are paper thin and you really shouldn't have been given the task to review this album for a major publication, You don't have the credentials for it, Your review is 90% b****ing about the ARTIST 5% projection of insecurity and another 5% of hipster self masturbation (Oh my god Kendrick should have had THESE producers on the album) nigga you ain't Kendrick, You don't even make music nigga,
EVERYBODY HAS "YEARS spent listening to and studying music" WHAT makes you special? nothing bro except for the fact you have no actual skills other than being able to write 1000 words and say absolutely NOTHING of substance other than expose your s*** taste and palette for art.
"Coming on the heels of the beef, though, the regionality of the album seems more like an elaborate gotcha to Drake rather than a musical pivot sparked out of passion"
Who thinks like that? You really think Kendrick from compton, LA, california, west coast his whole career made a west coast inspired album because of some stupid beef with Drake? and then you have the audacity to imply that this album isn't passionately made?
Log off of twitter, take whatever liberal arts bullshit college writing degree that your parents money paid for and shove it up your ass bro, respectfully though.
Nov 26, 2024Alphonse the edgy cornball of reviewers.
Perfect reviewer for a wrack of a site like post-Conde Nast Pitchfork.
We should have gave them zero attention since at least 5 years, the legacy of OG pitchfork is the only reason people check them out.

JonzTbh, 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).
The reviewer doesn’t give the score lmao

this not even your worst aggression I still remember that u wrote the review where they gave utopia a 5.7 I'm holding that grudge forever
- Nov 26, 2024mvp
this is a hating ass review lol
Called reincarnated unlistenable and likens Kendrick's regionality as "a gotcha to spite Drake"...as if Kendrick hasn't had two damn projects draped on LA and G-Funk influences and sounds already.
Yeah man. Kendrick is only leaning into his West Coast musical roots just to spite Drake...he's never done that GKMC, Section.80, To Pimp a Butterfly, Untitled Unmastered, or the Black Panther soundtrack. Nah...only doing it as a further dig at Drake.

I hated the review but u doing too much ngl
Nope I'm not...
The guy who wrote the review is doing way too much posting and trolling on KTT while supposedly writing reviews for a publication like Pitchfork.
Forget the GNX review and Kendrick for a second do you think this is professional? Ten years ago, no reputable publication would’ve hired someone like this lol.
Btw the same thing is happening with the MS Media and politics where the bar’s so low now that anyone can get in and it’s ruining credibility. Most articles now are just emotional takes not even based on facts.
