remember when "armchair cracker" Ian Cohen SAVAGED childish gambino's debut album CAMP for pitchfork, giving it a 1.6 out of 10?

pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16074-camp

he called it "hashtag rap's tombstone" and called bullshit about Glover's assertion that he was the "the only black guy at a sufjan concert"

10 years on, was Cohen right about this album or was he too harsh?

LMFAOOO TRASHBINO CAMP 1.6 STANLEYS IN SHAMBOLICS

“the only black guy at a sufjan concert"

"R&B hooks so garish and impersonal they make Lupe Fiasco's Lasers sound dignified."

Classic album.

Too high

the man has never made good music

Okay it’s childish gamblino homegirl drop it like the NASDAQ
Move white girls like there’s coke up my ASSCRACK

Lmao

Didn’t know Ian had this in him lmao. Garbage album, pitchfork slam pieces are so funny

Blatantly false

B****fork isn’t wrong about this one

ima b 4real its offf a bit u know n not in a good way its like he tracin kinda type s***... the best 1s be like blatantly takin from super cool songs from b4... ie redbone jus id rather be wit u

He was too lenient

agree

he’s slightly better than kid cudi

When he's trying to be playful, his voice hitches in a pubescent squeak, and when he "goes in," he's still delivering one room-clearing punchline after another with the earnestness of the most confused Rhymesayers guy ever

Absolutely COOKED

F***ing pathetic how music media outlets will write borderline hit pieces like this and then use his name for clicks years later when he becomes a household name. They did the same thing with Mac with that Blue Slide Park review. F*** Pitchfork and everyone who loves them.

Its his only truly bad album

lol yeah 'tracing' is a good way to put it, the rapping s*** stands on its own as bad - everything since is like a child trying and failing to trace and colour in a picture of a a decade long past

i woulda given that s*** a 0.0

Nobody is shutting down any of these dumb millionare celebrities. Stop using the language of the oppressed to defend bad art.

nothing is changing the fact that mac miller and chilldish gambino were two of the worst active rappers at one point

I mean it f***ing sucked
