now pull up the definition for critique

Who gives them that power tho? Cus they don’t really matter like that

Tyler Perry a billionaire off his success in film and every single one of them outside of 1 or 2 is panned to death. If the fans don’t care then critics will always become irrelevant

Tons of albums sell well without much critic love. Labels don’t care about critics that much if they’re making money. It comes down to the fans who parade them around like they matter

why are you always so callous, goo

thats not the really definition that is used when we talk about "criticism" in the context of art discussion though

an act of criticizing

Time is the new currency

I'm here to help KTT posters give a f*** about what actually matters to them, free them out of putting themselves in shambles over bullshit

"a detailed a***ysis and assessment of something, especially a literary, philosophical, or political theory."

i guess my point is... maybe it should be?

Bruh they the same word they just used differently in sentences. It's like saying autistic and autism arent the same thing

i dont think so because that it implies its entirely negative. music reviews/journalists etc. obviously talk a lot about things they like in the music too, its not just listing the faults

It's entertainment. If you make some art and put it out, niggas can say whatever they want about that s***. That's the whole point of putting it out, let alone being a whole music star.

we definitely use them interchangeably

but i'm not convinced they are the same word after finding both of those definitions

in the merriam webster dictionary

i'm into semantics

Mac Miller's downfall lead him to go and befriend better artists/rappers like TDE and Earl so he could learn from them, and then he leveled up artistically and got the critical acclaim he wanted

Life doesn't come without obstacles, you can't shelter people from getting criticized

Niggas can only judge the art you make available for them to judge

You can't get mad at somebody for saying that s*** is trash when you'd be happy if they said it was lit.

And if you choose to, you're gonna deal with the consequences

the way i always looked at it was the verb criticize = used along with the definition of disapproving of someonething's faults

and the verb critique = used along with the definition of judging somethings merits and faults

seems like those are the connotations anyway

My definitions came straight from merriam lol.
