I think you, like a lot of other people, are misunderstanding why music/film/tv/art critics are important. If a review is from a respected entity in music, like The Source used to be, or a respected person, then it holds current music up to a standard that helps maintain the quality of the art. You can disagree with the review, but a good review helps place things in the proper context and helps you appreciate the music. I get that it’s just art and it’s subjective, but a lot of good music gets lost in the mix when we only go based on the charts and popular opinion. Look how things have gotten in the post Source/XXL relevance days.Off topic but, why do we ever care about a review from anyone besides ourselves? I mean, maybe an expert giving a review of something in a particular field that he has great expertise in can be useful, but even with that it's still just his/her individual opinion, pretty much. We give random ass people with platforms way too much power when it comes to what we end up liking or not liking, believing or not believing, championing or not championing, etc... Ish is crazy. That sheeple ish is real,
All these dudes in this clip seem moist and corny, lol, why should you care what these random dudes think about hip hop? Think about it.

And if your opinion consistently runs counter to qualified, credible critics, then you need to get your ears checked.

Who said I’m not going to like what I like? And let’s not discuss wasting time...on a hip hop message board.
nikka just like what you want to like and move on with your life
WTF you wasting time tryna keep up with what "credible critics" got to say about shyt
It's a human trait breh.

I don’t look at reviews to validate my opinion or as a way to decide what to think. I look at reviews for new music I haven’t heard before. I use it as a recommendation for what to listen to and see if I like. It can be a good way to find music I wouldn’t have heard otherwise.
