List some stuff that Rolling Stone got WRONG

[jadillac]

I'm not one who puts a ton of stock into Rolling Stone reviews, but they're one of the last remaining album reviewers out there so I read sometimes just for kicks.

But I was looking at some older albums, and they gave this album 2 outta 5 stars.

This album is on the short list of GOAT female R&B albums and one of the greatest R&B albums in general. It sold 8.5 million copies in the USA alone, Billboard #1, had 5 hit singles. These songs weren't fads, and they still get played today on the radio. I can't imagine another Black female singer not named Whitney Houston that was ever bigger.

But here's their summary at the end of the review:

Certainly, Braxton has got chops and spunk ("I ain't down with o.p.p.," she snaps on "Love Affair"). And, yes, there are a handful of songs in which she gets to do the do. But there's not a poet in the house among LaFace's family of writer-producers – no Smokey Robinson, no Linda Creed. And for all its polish, too much of the music on Toni Braxton mistakes melodrama for passion and set pieces for soul. (RS 670)

Not only did they discount her, but they basically called Babyface/LA Reid/Daryl Simmons, garbage.

When you have white people reviewing black art, most of the time it's gonna be wrong. They have no idea what the fukk they're talking about.
