Not op, but I'm fuckin pissed that music reviewers see this as anything more than a shameless moneygrab from women who feel "empowered" by beyonce's "struggle". her biographer even said that if Jay were to cheat on her, she'd just leave him, period. And jay heard every damn line on this record. It's a fictional story and people beefing this up as anything more are delusional.
It seems to me like you're just a racist who thinks all black people are automatically bad by virtue of their race.
And if I had to guess, the only exception in your eyes is probably MC Ride.
Nathaniel Robinson
see: With Beyonce I'm still curious as to why people think safe top 40 music is good, but take the white guilt aspect. Whatever.
The second half of my post though, no excuse for pitchfork to rate high generic ass trap rappers high scores unless they enjoy black dick in their anus
Jace Wood
Wow, way to have racist opinions, user
Sebastian Young
In his defense, he's not saying that beyonce is trap rap, but instead that p4k puts a special emphasis on trap rap. Still seems like a dumb point in this thread tho.
Although p4k is still shit for rating TLOP over u.u. AND AMSP.
Ian Stewart
Trap is the best genre. It's our generation's punk rock.
Michael Howard
i don't remember a single goddamned thing from this album
Henry Ross
Explain to me what part of that, which didn't even mention race, is racist, otherwise you're just a shit troll.
Joseph Richardson
Im looking at metacritics top 25 for 2016 and see literally no trap rap
Adrian Reed
P4k loves trap because trap is big, they get more $$$ for covering it
Lincoln Ortiz
Why do cuckservatives get so triggered by the fact that most of their musicians are terrible? They'll make up any excuse rather than admit that the poor review scores have to do with the sub-standard quality of the music they put out.
Charles Bell
Cause the main form of social aggregation for the average Pitchfork reader has shifted from the mellow indie get together and sip craft beer to let's have a party with shitty alcohol and badly cut drugs, and trap rap is just better suited to that
Or a number of other reasons bordering on the infinite, how the fuck do you think we can explain a complex system like that of music consumption in a fucking mu thread
A thread died for your inane question. Given, it was probably equally retarded so you merely took a bite out of a big pile of shit and filled it again
It's the soft bigotry of low expectations for black rappers, it's exactly why they give otherwise generic artists high scores, and it's fucking horse shit
Elijah Stewart
Because TLOP got 3 points higher of a score than it should have.
Only p4k is total trash, other reviewers are kinda decent. Even then reviews matter way less than content, arguing over reviews is fucking pointless.
Benjamin Ramirez
Tell me that YG is superior to Wilco, cuck.
see: whatever the specific subgenre is, look at pitchfork' reviews for banal rap albums that are otherwise derivative and generic as hell
Liam Ramirez
Yg deserved higher to be honest
Cooper Davis
this, is not about white guilt meme, it just sells, it gives them clicks therefore revenue pitchfork isn't far from rolling stone or nme, they cash-in on the pseudo-underground music, which nowadays is very hip-hop centric
83 on metacritic, 4 star reviews everywhere, Pithchfork gives it a a 6 percentile score.
I guess it didn't have enough I'M A FUCK WHITE BITCH NIGGA raps in it
Anthony Hill
>wahh p4k goes easy on hip hop artists >lets ignore how they btfo Desiigner's new mixtape so I can continue to feel oppressed
Ryan Wilson
based marcel is the only one who got it right with lemonade
Asher Myers
>defending a white guilt circle jerk fest because they called out a meme
epic, simply epic. Back to the cuck shed
Kayden Torres
I'm betting you didn't even listen to YG's new album, which is pretty great, by the way. Just because you don't listen to hip hop doesn't make it any worse than other genres.
Owen Campbell
You know what's the saddest part about your post It's not the incessant buzzword usage It's the fact that you'll denounce p4k as being shit but constantly flock to threads about it, talk about it nonstop, and give the site hits/attention that you yourself argue that it doesn't deserve
Jace Cox
>glorification of gang violence good in 2016 >glorification of gang violence good ever
I rarely post on Sup Forums anymore. Anybody with an IQ above 16 agrees with me, which is why you see a lot of people post about it
Colton Hill
god awful lyrical content over a derivative production
>SO EPIC BECAUSE MY FAV KEKY SAID IT WAS XD
Caleb Hall
DS2 is dope tho
Isaac White
>Using IQ in an internet argument
Is this fucking 2008 I thought we were civilized people
Fucking Christ man believe your retarded beliefs but if you bring up IQ in an argument you essentially confirm your IQ is in the negatives pal
Leo Walker
You're implying that Beyonce is being disingenuous solely based on the fact that she's a strong black woman. I can't believe I even have to explain this to you
Gabriel Bell
Anyone with an IQ above 80 would see the folly in constantly going to and crying about a website instead of just finding a better one and bringing attention to it instead.
I guess some people are too addicted to unwarranted ego trips
Also DS2 is better than Room on Fire
Jason Williams
>thinking lyrical content is the only basis by which you can judge music >judging an album you haven't listened to exclusively by what you've heard about its lyrical content
inb4 the only song you've heard of on the album is FDT
Carson Bell

Easton Howard

it's rap
Jaxon Lewis
As if anyone needed more evidence of the type of mental midgets who waste their time unironically crying about p4k on 2016 Sup Forums
Anthony Jenkins
You're watching cucks perform mental gymnastics to validate their obsession. Watch and laugh
Daniel Martinez
You know, just earlier this afternoon I was ready to denounce /lit/ as a cesspool of discourse - now I believe I've found a worthy opponent. I lnew there was a reason to come here.
How you argue about the make believe scores arbitrarily given to a record instead of actually discussing the actual content of the album - or better yet, avoiding this cancerous discussion as a whole - is captivating. The ghost of Debord is fucking us all in the ass, truly.
Zachary Roberts
The saddest part is that he thinks he's mentally superior for it
Aiden Edwards
Pitchfork has always been a part of this board's culture, kiddo. Kindly fuck off back to wherever it is you came from
Jayden Hall
It's dance-oriented tho Trap is supposed to make you hype Early rap was like that too. Or maybe your redneck tastes have never led you to listen to rapper's delight
Grayson Bell
You're literally making my point for me
Besides, Still Brazy doesn't "glorify" gang violence, it's pretty clearly anti-gang violence. And it focuses more on issues of racism and police brutality.
Xavier Morris
The only people who get sincerely mad about p4k are newfriends who can't into irony or losers who are desperate for an ego boost
Owen Mitchell
>cuckservatives triggered by the fact that black people make better music than white people
Cooper Moore
read You come off as an insecure, immasculated Sup Forums user due to your racist tendencies and the fact that you bring up IQ as a legitimate argument to avoid defending the tenets of your argument, and the fact that your whining about a music website doesn't help
Lucas Cook
Still Brazy isn't trap you fucking idiots, it's g-funk
Jace Moore
>Trap is supposed to make you hype it makes me want to kill myself more than i already do so i guess in some kind of twisted way it makes me hype, considering death is the only thing i look forward to on a daily basis
Gabriel Hughes
>redneck
LOL
also you'd have to be no older than 12 to be impressed with derivative beats
>police brutality
fucking lol. Say Britney Spears doe a song about "police brutality" with her banal lyrics, does that mean she's substantive?
of course not, kill yourself
Brody Thomas
Good shit mang
Luke Phillips
No, I don't think I am. I am as much a victim of the spectacle as you are, only I'm watching a different channel.
And brachydactilia is endemic to incestous populations. Your point?
Elijah Powell
>not liking banal retard garbage makes you a racist
cuck logic, ladies and gentlemen
Nathaniel Martin
Define derivative beats, give examples
Isaac Moore
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT??? MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY STARTED IT. BECAUSE IT MADE PEOPLE TAKE BLACKS SERIOUSLY AS MUSICIANS AGAIN.
Lucas Williams
>banal retard garbage
i-i-if i use enough buzzwords they'll like im right!
Jeremiah Torres
the entire album you pleb. Explain to me how any of the production was innovative
Grayson Lopez
You're using the label wrong dipshit
Austin Bennett
It made g-funk listenable/enjoyable for the first time ever
Leo Moore
>fucking lol. Say Britney Spears doe a song about "police brutality" with her banal lyrics, does that mean she's substantive?
Wtf does that have to do with you not even being aware of what Still Brazy is even about?
You're talking shit about an album you haven't listened to and making the assumption that all rap is "glorifying gang violence" when it in fact does the *opposite* and then when you get called out on your bullshit by someone who actually has listened to the album, you just continue to ignore the fact that you haven't listened to it, and therefore can't have any actual opinion on it, and just turn this into a place to grandstand your political opinions, as if music is automatically bad just because you disagree with the artist's politics!
Shut the fuck up and kill yourself, or try to listen to YG's album, form an opinion about it independently from Sup Forums or stormfront, THEN talk shit about it. I'm fine with people like you criticizing it if you actually know what the fuck you're talking about.
But when you call YG's Still Brazy an album glorifying gang violence, it becomes very clear that you have no idea what you're talking about.
Ryan Green
You think YG is a lyricist
that's reason alone to genuinely kill yourslf upon reading this post.
I think Elliot Smith is a good lyricist, that's what separates me from you.
Camden Bennett
It's really no use user, once they see that a black person made an album they automatically say it's shit, no logic will change their minds.
Caleb Bailey
>g-funk
Whoa, I didn't know this! Now I might listen to it. Is it good? How does it compare to other g-funk?
Nicholas Wright
chill out dude, your shitting bricks over a goddamn Beyonce album
Name a song, you knew what I meant you dip
William Perry
Why do cucks think criticizing a person who happens to be black is a racist?
It's always the needle dicks that would never hangout with black guys irl too
Xavier Sanders
Someone else said that Still Brazy was bad solely because it "glorified gang violence." I never claimed YG was a lyricist, just that his album doesn't glorify gang violence. Try to learn how to read, maybe?
FINALLY someone else with common sense
Carson Myers
you got a superiority complex too, huh
How about you fucking describe what you dislike instead of being a racist fuck and using the vaguest of terms
Believe whatever you want to believe but when your on a MUSIC DISCUSSION BOARD, DISCUSS THE MUSIC
Alexander Hall
Criticizing someone who happens to be black isn't racist.
Criticizing someone BECAUSE they are black is racist.
Carson Cooper
>banal lyrics >banal production >no innovative themes and lyrical content (objective fact) >sonic ideas and sounds that's been done in a superior way from the genres they were influenced by
this sums up nearly every rap album pitchfork sucked off in the past 6 years.
Problematic, considering how relentlessly harsh they were on rock bands
Grayson Garcia
Wow are you retarded Bet this nigga don't even know Jay Dee
Jose Hernandez
way to say the vaguest shit possible
Brandon Collins
Still, vague and non-descriptive.
GIVE EXAMPLEs, NAME SONGS WITHOUT SEARCHING THE TRACKLIST, PROVE YOU ACTUALLY LISTENED TO THE ALBUM
Kevin Nguyen
So what did we all think about Wildflower?
Leo Russell
Honestly you could say the same about every recent rock record too
Brandon Sullivan
Desiigner would like a word with you.
Drake would like a word with you.
Nathan Martinez
Its like a modern day 2001 w/ better rapping. Take that as you will.
Austin Myers
Pretty great, solid 8/109
Aiden Parker
Cool, I'm going to go and listen to it. Enjoy your pointless arguing, guys!
Noah Moore
Godspeed, friend.
Owen Johnson
Is there any way to preview this album besides pirating?
Michael Powell
No, I'm implying that she's dishonest (let's not hide our meaning behind big words to feel smart, mkay?) because of what her biographer, one of the people that knows her best, said about the situation.
Start looking around online and you'll see that this is the case.
For you to even bring race into this just proves that you're itching for a race fight even when there's no need for one. If a white female popstar released the same album under the same circumstances I'd be saying the same thing.
Robert Nguyen
They gave Yankee hotel foxtrot a 10, it's not like their inherently biased against white artists
