>caring about meme critics
Shig.

he's right you know

"The D+ instead of D- is because Pete Townshend likes it."

Why the fuck did he give it a D+?

I genuinely want to understand his point of view

Mmmuh pretentious art rock. It's not greasy punk from the streets of New York.

What a tit

Who?

Apparently the album that pioneered Progressive Rock is 'ersatz'... However that works

The anti-Scaruffi. He glorifies awful shit instead of pretentious shit.

TBF, he was writing that review in 1969 without the benefit of hindsight. IIRC he did later up the rating to a B or C.

One is pretentious look-how-good-we-are band,and the other is a person who gave all of himself to the album and with his help rap music has progressed forward.

I'm more interested in why soulja boi got an A-

>people here still think soulja boy is bad when all rappers that have blown up in the last 5 years owe their careers to him

when will the "soulja boy sucks" meme end?

The best I can figure out is that Xgau had some flashback to his childhood and assumed Soulja Boy was the 2000s Frankie Lymon. Other than that, I can't begin to guess.

when will this "soulja boy sucks is a meme" meme end?

Or maybe the guy was just a little smarter than Sup Forums gives him credit for and realized that SB was the start of something big and not a cheap fad.

Xgau was always kind of pro-hip hop since the beginning in the 80s. He was instrumental in helping draw attention to it.

that's nice

You mean, a bit like In the Court of the Crimson King?

He's absolutely right.

This is the same guy that was pivotal in turning the Beatles the undisputed institution of popular music they're today. Draw your own conclusions.

>it's real

Who the fuck is this cunt and where does he live? I've fucking murder him.

scaruffi molest 15 girl on record... watch the streets homie

Reminder that your favorite album got a lower score from him than Aqua's "Aquarium".

Robert Christgau was the only trustful music reviewer, because he hated pretentiousness in progrock. Bands like Yes, King Crimson got the reviews they deserved.

Christgau is a retard with zero taste that made his career catering to dadrockers.

prove it

it actually didn't.

off yourself

>unironically liking progressive rock

Just admit Christgau is the master patrician

>not liking progressive rock
kys

>liking music

>liking punk music with the same 2 chords over and over again because it's "critically acclaimed" and "iconic"

christgau > scaruffi

Only degenerates enjoy progrock. I have never met a person who enjoyed progrock and didn't use substances to alter the state of consciousness. Normies enjoy different styles of music and musicians enjoy classical music.

>degenerates
dank one homie XD

>Duuuude, let's go listen to close to the edge and fly through the space xDDD
This is how you sound like

dank one homie XD

>degenerates
you mad?

No, I'm smoking a joint right now.

A-

I like prog and I don't even drink
It's a cool genre

This is what cuckolding looks like

>Boy do the haters get busy on this 16-year-old. But scrutinize the "superman" matter (look it up) and you'll see that even if he thought he was sneaking something outlandishly filthy onto a pop record, his fans thought he was inventing a dance that involved flying, thus furthering the presumption of innocence so crucial to his cute. Unlike his crunk forebears, he's not into pimping or dealing or even strip clubs--"Booty Meat" is as explicit as his carnality gets, and not only is he looking not touching, he's hoping an amateur will "turn around just like a pro." He's still boy enough to worry about those F's, and the most winning of his many winning songs was written to, and on, his Sidekick 3. There are enough sonic strokes here to keep the wrong bizzer in ringtone rappers for a year. But Soulja Boy's spiritual secret is that with less subcultural support than, say, Be Your Own Pet, he's reached the top of his world on a few tips from ex-partner Young Kwon and the loyalty of human sidekick Arab. You can hear how tickled he is about it. A-

what?

Christgau only likes M.I.A. and The New York Dolls.

>muh MIA and Sleater-Kinney

In all seriousness though, he is pretty based sometimes

>Sleater-Kinney
can't be considered christgau-core until you get that rare A+ m8.

Christgau literally gives no fucks! He's based as all hell. He is also like 70 years old, give him a break if prog seemed too much in the light of the pretentions of hippies and if he can't really distinguish between good and bad hip-hop at his age.
