DESU, a pitchfork 7 is just a lazy number they attach to an album when the don't wanna think too hard. HNDRXX is beyond FUTURE in about every single way quality wise, but even that doesn't deserve above a 7. FUTURE should've gotten a 4, but Pitchfork didn't feel like thinking that day, or any day. It's why critical reviews, especially numbered reviews, should NEVER be taken seriously. Numbers are for products, not pieces of art.

Dis you even listen to the album

here's a generic uninspired album by an otherwise great rock band.
They harshly gave it a 5.9, perhaps appropriately so.
There's fucking memes out there that show critics giving rock albums great reviews, and Pitchfork notoriously giving it a harsh review or a subpar review.
Yet with rappers - black rappers in particular when you consider they're harsh on Eminem - they refuse to rate them in a Pitchfork style of doing so.
of course all Pithfork reviews aren't written by a same guy, sure.
But when you consider that the theme throughout their rock reviews is a theme of harshly judging them, you get the idea that they're told to not hold back in reviewing.
Yet with specifically black rappers (As we know Eminem's reviews are harshly judged) they notably don't do this.

>future >generic ass rapper
Only Desiigner sounds like him. Future is in his own niche he carved out.
these are just four rock reviews in the past few days, all 7's. They gave Drake's Views a 6, Rick Ross' recent album a 6.9. What's your point? it is't anything to do with race, it's just pure laziness lol.

Everybody knows his bloody p4k scores are inflated, you dorks, but you can deny that he's innovated his own very influential sound >says the "mature" "cultured" 20 year old on his way back from the coffee shop

Pitchfork review: This new hip hop album has a unique distinction that sets it apart from its contemporary rivals: its bleak texture and aural vibe give it an ethereal quality that vastly supercedes expectations and creates an almost viral atmosphere of sheer gloom (with unexpected tinges of bright poppy glamor!). The lyricism evokes a simplistic torment, painting a vivid image of an emotionally starved beaurocrat thrashing about in a stinking pit of his own creation. Fantastic! All in all this is shaping up to be an aoty; I give Kodak Black's "cum licker swan song" an 8.5/10.
(Composition, chord progressions and time signature are all absent from being mentioned in this review, shockingly)

Wow, you sure got me! I certainly wasn't making a joke. Nope, my intention was to trick you!

>Composition, chord progressions and time signature aren't mentioned in pitchfork reviews expecting that much from a company owned by conde nast is on you
Gavin Peterson
>when the review doesn't mention time signature, BPM, or the software the beats were produced in
EPIC FAIL, Pitchfork, EPIC FAIL INDEED!

i guess its popularity is just a fluke....right
Parker Ramirez
this is the best future release especially out of the ds2, evol, etc era. most consistent production
Mask Off has some of the nicest production I've heard. The rest of the album trash though, and Future is sooo boring, one of the rare artists who really needs features to succeed.
