this should be reposted at the top of each page. hell, pitchfork should add it as a disclaimer in all their reviews. niggas rush to the dramatics over the score and s*** on the review before they've even read it. wild lol

I respect the review,we need more reviewers to go against the grain,everyone doesn’t hear the same thing. At the same time tho,P4K will turn around and give a flavor of the month trap rapper BNM and just come up with reasons why it’s musical genius.

So,I just think P4K is mad Kendrick kinda deceived them,it wasn’t the album they were looking for. Kendrick is suppose to be a left wing darling and he betrayed that image with this one. Score has a lot of politics behind it.

Pitchfork is a joke

Guess that means I'm deleting the album now

Yes that was sarcasm, for all you slow people out there

conformation bias

33 pages

This recent album had those goombahs from The Guardian news throwing out a 5/5 just TWO hours after the album came out. Like WTF

you dont need reviewers to "go against the grain"

that's not honest

that's just appealing to the contrary

why would anyone listen to someone who makes content just to be a devil's advocate

to feel deceived by a work is to imply there were expectations. dude barely put out a single nor a tracklist. the expectations were entirely imaginary. to blame kendrick for that is to deny culpability

They gave UU an 8.6 and this a 7.6. Lol.

what situation does a p4k review get a positive response from KTT,

They get early review copies

Y’all know this s***

Cmon now

definitely plenty of hackery afoot

but was there ever confirmation of review copies or did we all hear this at the same time?

Great album, but I can see how people can dislike it as well.

My only gripe with Kendrick is he can curate an album from top to bottom, but outside of that, you damn near have to listen to the album from start to finish to thoroughly enjoy, which isn’t a bad thing at all, but outside of like 3-4 tracks, you have to listen to the whole album damn near

No confirmation of review copies. The way this was staggered to be a global release, Id like to think there weren't any but I could be wrong

Doesn’t always have to be trap but,they’ve given rap albums similar or higher scores then MMATBS and when you listen to it,you never see what they see lol. I will say that,when they give a 9 or higher,it’s usually legit

Biggest confirmation of review copies being sent out is typically something leaking, and nothing from this did

Cause UU is better maybe.

Nigga stfu lmfaoo

Are early review copies still a thing? I thought back in the day they got the album way before and wrote a review to get fans hyped about the project before it even released
