    You want this to be true so badly lol.

    It actually happens and not just to Kendrick. It happens to artists critics don't like. That's why they're able to turn in reviews so quick for albums they didn't listen to beforehand.

    Critics were always going to bash Donda. Didn't matter how good the album was. Kanye's shenanigans trumped the music and their minds were made up long before the album was released to the public. You can easily tell in the reviews where the critics use half the review to criticize the personal choices of the artist and their perception in the media over the last 6-12 months instead of actually reviewing the music they release.

    Pitchfork does this the most.

    Beyoncè can drop the worst music of her career and they'll give her a good review simply because it's Beyoncè and that's how they feel about her at this stage in her life and career.

    I remember that review leak s*** was disgusting

    I think it was Independent or some other publication lmao. They quickly deleted it and apologized but it was very eye-opening.

    Hey man you shouldnt give these critics too much attention . You making a whole conspiracy theory about s*** thats not even that important

    It's not a conspiracy theory, dude. It actually happens lol. And I don't care about critics. Anyone with real sense knows that the people who consume your music are the real guage of it's standing, not pasty white dudes who don't know s*** about music. I'm just saying.

    I have friends that write reviews professionally and I can guarantee you they have never wrote a review for an album they didn't listen to. You're using an extreme to define the norm.

    95 percent of album reviews don't operate like that.

    And in the end it doesn't matter because plenty classic albums have gotten horrible reviews. Lol.

    Resplendent moments – like a second’s burst of sunshine through dark storm clouds – are so rare that by the time you emerge on the other side, they’re all but forgotten. ... But by involving Manson, West has made this impossible. Donda leaves a sour taste that no number of good beats, gospel choirs or church organs will cleanse. Zero stars.

    Zero stars.

    Everybody stood up and clapped after they read this.

    it still baffles me that she ruined Donda´s critic score because she still got some internalized self-hatred for being a manson fan for 3 months before that

    Pitchfork writers going to have a stroke when Kendrick combines the alien voice with sone piano and live instrumentation

    i can see the salivating in their reviews now

    “Kendrick rains hellfire with vicious bars directed toward the current administration and the United States as a whole - all while maintaining the feeling of comfort & composure over warm, heavy Thundercat bass and, despite his issues outside of the studio, beautiful Dr Dre instrumentation.”
