Honsetly, how the fuck did P4K give Solange the #1 over Frank Ocean? I liked the album, but who the fuck actually thought it was better than Blonde? They even rated it lower in their initial reviews.
Hate to sound like one of those guys, but P4K are a bunch of cucks and gave her AOTY out of pity because Hillary lost the election, and women needed to win the year somehow.

Because black womyn are more oppressed than black gays

Why does it matter what someone else/ a group of people think bruh
Bentley Powell
Solange lol She'd be like the 5th best Disco artist in 1974 but this year shes the goddess of music, yeah, all right. Nah, OP is right to be upset.
Austin Harris
this.
Don't take things so personally OP. So you like Blonde better, who gives a fuck
Andrew Russell
blonde garbage frank ocean garbage le change pitch of my super emotional songs le so artistic heh, more like autistic
Alexander Moore
Imagine being this pathetic
Ryan Reed
This. Like the whole point is just to discover music. I don't think they are claiming to be the objective source of knowledge
Jason Anderson
Suck my shit. You're not suppose to care about opinions because they don't mean anything, but P4K actually has influence with their opinion. If we give the right guys their deserved accolades it makes the music community better as a whole.
Jack Brown
I can never tell whether these threads are bait or theyre made by people who have actual lives and only spend about an hour on Sup Forums sporadically and don't realize they're making the same thread others have been making all day
Jacob Mitchell
>P4K actually has influence with their opinion
Why do you care?
Do they inluence your taste or something?
If you want them to lose their influence, then why did you made a thread about them?
Are you also retarded?
Ethan Sanders
make*
Evan Moore
not him, but if you don't think pitchfork is enormously influential in tastemaking, for better or for worse, you are lying to yourself
Jeremiah Scott
>pitchfork is enormously influential in tastemaking where did I say they aren't?
Brody Jones
I guess you didn't desu

this is actually wrong.

Michael Kelly
it is objectively the correct opinion
Levi Diaz
Why do they matter as just some pleb here
Seriously like are they a group of elite musicians or something? Why are peoples tastes influenced by others do you simply not listen to what you enjoy?
Are there not a lot of awards/groups that give artists critical acclaim? As a pleb I haven't even heard of them. Why are they so special to influence people as opposed to big media award shows that are seen by millions
If you are into music and playing instruments then surely your opinion should be based on your own feelings rather than those of others?

Why should Beyonce get to stomp around like a giant, while the rest of us try not to get smushed under her big feet? What's so great about Beyonce? Hm? Solange is just as cute as Beyonce. Solange is just as smart as Beyonce. People totally like Solange just as much as they like Beyonce. And when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody, huh? Because that's not what music is about. We should totally just *stab* Beyonce!

>black and gay and couldnt win aoty
What must this man need to do to win?
Charles Miller
they are simply able to give artists exposure that they wouldn't get otherwise. Do you really think DIIV would have such a huge following if p4k hadn't given them a BNM? A BNM can do wonders for a young band. They'll sell a lot more concert tickets and albums.
I don't think most people read p4k reviews and accept them as truth. I think people are able to think critically. But I think a lot of people who read p4k see an album that they gave a good score and think "Hmmm, they're saying this is a good album so I might as well check it out" and maybe they'll like it. But either way they get exposure and name recognition that they wouldn't otherwise have.

Cameron Edwards
in a list of 100 you posted 10 or so
pitchfuck thinks 90 percent of the best music this year was produced by women
>objective music review site
FUCKIN LOL!
Aaron Edwards
Radiohead are the grimes of music! Utter plebbery!
Joseph Bennett
women just made better music this year.
Brandon Reyes
90 percent better?
Benjamin Hill
yeah, it was a good year for women. Out of curiosity did you question it when men made 90% better music in previous years?
Nolan Rogers
no, what I meant is those are all artists who've gotten AOTY from p4k. Solange is the first female solo artist to get an AOTY from them.
So when the guy asked, "what must this man need to do to win?" and you said that his problem was that he is a man, I posted you all the men who had gotten AOTY from p4k up until 2016
Bentley Cruz
i am not aware of any such years in fact it has always seemed like there were more famous females involved in music in some way than men
I don't understand how someone could hold the worldview that one gender produced 90% of the best music of that year... its mind boggeling
Most of my favourite albums and songs this year were by men but only because Ive been listening to a lot of rap and stuff and so the small selection of all music seems weighted towards men, thats all it is.

>Honsetly, how the fuck did P4K give Solange the #1 over Frank Ocean?
it's almost 2017 and you are still caring about pitchfork?
let it go. they are irrelevant now.
Jace Roberts
Agreed.
Camden Gutierrez
CHECK THESE NUMBAHSSS SAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!
Josiah Evans
they both got the black check, but only one got the female check
oh wait frank got the gay check, I'm not sure if solange is gay though
Austin Sullivan
(Not true, by the way)
Blake Lopez
underrated
Cameron Brown
Who fucking cares, seriously? Stop making threads about this. Pitchfork doesn't do this for "political" reasons, they do it to make you faggots talk about it 24/7 and increase traffic.
