Benny The Butcher Says Fans Need To Start Enjoying The Music Without Critiquing Everything

[submarine1]

This is where I get a bit confused.

Doesn't playing the album actually show that they've listened to it all the way through to base their opinions?

I guess I need to know what specific type of channels you're speaking on for context because listening to albums before criticizing it actually sounds better than what @SirBiatch (aka TochiRTA) used to do where he would just ramble on about an artist or album on his channel without breaking anything down and use outright false or exaggerated narratives just to seem like some hip hop head.

Cynical or positive, I enjoy people who can actually break down the songs or show signs that they actually listened to the project.

And maybe I didnt articulate myself nicely.
I'm talking about how the negative detailed critique gets more traction than the positive detailed critique as if the negative version has more validity.
it doesn't - it just has more hot takes and shock value.
Like I think there are more people who will skew their critique towards the negative only because it generates more clicks which is their ultimate goal so in that scenario clicks are more valuable than conveying an honest perspective.
Fox News has turned this into a business model - hot takes and alternative facts.

Since when have the fans not critiqued music? WTF?

This is a part of being a fan, saying what you feel about sh*t. This includes the music you didn't like. No barbershop or street corner in this country would be complete without dudes sitting or standing around talking about the music they like and don’t like. Music is all about floating opinions and debating. It's what brings us online to do it with strangers. We want to talk music and express how we feel about it. There has never been an era in music, especially Hip Hop, where this wasn't done. It's how we hold artists accountable. Expecting people not to do that is goofy.

My brother in Christ...that's kinda the topic though.

I feel like people who think that every other critic was wilding on Drake hasn't actually watched actual music reviews on his latest album and are just going off of Drake's narrative pushed on IG.

I watched some reviews as I do for many albums. And I'm telling you that most of the reviews were mild af and ranked the album higher than I would've. DEHH's criticism was mild. Joe Budden praised it more than he criticized it. Needledrop gave it a strong 5 which isn't bad at all. The Collegian called it average. FD Signifier claimed it was better than he expected it to be.

Drake really brainwashed people into thinking that every critic was hating on it and grabbing pitchforks(no pun intended) when that actually wasn't the case at all. Hell, CLB and Scorpion got way more hate than this album now that I think about it. Drake just spazzed out over a cherrypicked video of Budden's review and played the victim.

OKAY once again i am saying I picked his name at random becuz he seemed like a good candidate.
I literally said "lets say" as in "theoretically"

I don't know how Drake's current album is being pumped/hated on what I'm saying is I know he is a polarizing figure so I know the pump/hate is going to be there
and NO not like pump/hate for Griselda becuz Drake is WAY bigger therefore more people will be talking about the latter.
but for sake of the conversation we can switch out Drake and put in Benny if mentioning Drake is taking this in some kind of misdirection.

[L. Deezy]

Every Pusha T album nikkas on here talkin bout "wHy hE sTiLl RaPpiNg bOuT cOke"

Just shut the fukk up

I agree with this %

 

[JuvenileHell]

Shut up Benny

 

[CrushedGroove]

I get what he saying. If I don't like something, I just don't listen to it. I ain't bout to go out my way to sh*t on it.

Afu-Ra - Worldwind Thru Cities was well produced. And that's all I gotta say about it.

 

[CourtesyFlush]

Bro lost me when he became MAGA. Can't enjoy his shyt the same anymore

The bigots comin nikka!

 

[Standing on business]

This applies in all aspects of entertainment. The way there’s hundreds of channels breaking down every second of music, tv shows, movies, sports, I see why people don’t really enjoy shot anymore.

I mean now that you say that...
Maybe some of these unheard of rappers should pay for negative reviews.
With the logic of any publicity being good publicity it couldn't hurt to have a podcast or media personality crap on your project.
Most people would stay for the jokes but a few would listen and might be like "this aint that bad".

Kind of like how certain people want to sit up front at comedy shows on some "please roast me" sh1t.

NoJumper had payola lol

It'd be cool if a podcast just did that for free

 

[Low End Derrick]

Benjamin should focus on creating the best music he can, and not preempt any potential critiques, because thats just feminine behavior.

The problem was NoJumper is too laced with street politics where n1kkas always wanna "see" somebody after the show in the streets.
These folks would have to be in a secure facility becuz in theory everybody is gonna get sh1t on even if its a light sh1tting.
Imagine having a quintet of hosts

at least 3 black
at least 2 female
at least 1 over 40 not more than 2
at least 1 under 25 not more than 2
at least 1 white/hispanic not more than 2
at least 1 from west coast not more than 2
at least 1 from east coast not more than 2
at least 1 from down south not more than 2
at least 1 with jail record
at least 1 with college degree
at least 2 with kids
at least 2 from the suburbs
at least 1 from the country
at least 1 from the trenches
at least 1 who is 1st or 2nd gen American (they can speak another language)
at least 2 with actual music skills (instrument, vocal or production)
all with good comedic chops and general enthusiasm for hiphop culture


each week they pick 10 "rap" albums that just came out and take a light to heavy sh1t on them.
light sh1t would eventually mean the album actually aint that bad.

hmmmmm

I would watch this.
Imagine if this existed when that NewAge JerkBoy, Big Bear or that Slam Dunkin Hoes album came out.
The album cover and imagery critique alone would be hilarious!

Ayo @Black Trash! thank you for the inspiration !

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

of course him and his crew that consistently put out garbage 90% of people don't wanna hear at all would say some shyt like this
