That's the point right there. I seriously doubt that anyone cares about your posts history. You're not in court, fam. I'm really not concerned with your issues with "Jay stans" and all that, or how you feel about some album.

All I'm saying is, let people express how they feel about something, without coming in the thread all upset. You're takin' this way too seriously. We're on a forum stating opinions. I don't need to do a post background check on you. You're buggin'. WTF? LOL!!

Just be chill.

:laugh: you the one making statements saying "you hate Jay-Z" and what not, but I'm the supposed mad one on here, all I did was prove facts that pitchfork gave most of the albums they reviewed of his positive reviews except for 3, then you and a few others got mad and defensive over it, if you don't like pitchfork, no need to write long posts dissing them. I like the KC album and felt it is his most underrated in his catalogue, but you won't see me :cape: over a reviewer shyttin on it.

ya'll really have a hard time separating the messenger from the message. ignore the fact that it comes from pitchfork and actually READ it

the review was pretty much on point and pretty much echoed the same sentiments of a lot of coli posters.

I haven't trusted reviews of hip hop albums since Source kept shytting on Em.


How Yeezus gets anything higher than a neg 7 is ridiculous.

Man fukk Cac-Fork. Haven't any of you learned that yet? Whether it's a good review or bad review they don't know WHAT THEIR fukkING TALKING ABOUT when it comes to Hip Hop. I don't know why this review was even linked here

assuming that you actually read the review, what did the writer say that was so outlandish?

so pitchfork have Life IS Good a better rating that MCHG? well at least they starting to make sense. this album the more i listen the more i am sorting out what is good and what i dont like. i think the frank ocean is my least favorite on there. dude has a deprssing vibe to his music. gets me down.

i think the undeniable songs are

Picasso
Fkwitmeuknowigotit
Part 2

these are the songs i unconsciously enjoy when i hear them. i am sure i could make a case for a few others but i dont really have the heart for it. they aint wack or anything, just not undeniable.

wheras "life is good" has so many enjoyable moments.

A lot of these reviews are bringing up how relatable this album is. There's probably a small percentage of Jay fans who could relate to any of his albums, with Blueprint probably being most relatable.

Why even mention Yeezus? It's two different artists. Sure they made an album together two years ago, but they clearly aren't on the same page here.

You're hilarious. Nobody even responded to what you posted about Hov's albums. I doubt anyone cared. LOL!! So how did anyone get "mad or defensive"? You pretty much went ignored. Now I might be wrong, but I don't think anyone even spoke on what you said. Cats had their own talk goin' on, before you came in with the typical angry "Jay stans do this and that" shyt.

Some people just don't like Pitchfork. That's all. So now all of a sudden dudes can't say that? This some new rule that popped up this weekend, that we can't say we don't like certain sites? That's all that was written. So I don't see why you'd have an issue with that.

I remember when that was goin' down. That was probably some of the most unprofessional "journalism" I'd ever seen. I stopped coppin' The Source around that time. They had lost it. Dudes pretty much said, "we don't like you personally, so your albums will get low scores no matter how they sound".

Then cats said that Interscope bought into XXL. And right after that, I remember they had like 5-6 Aftermath artist covers. LOL!!

I went ignored but got quoted on here by another poster and got a few daps on here, my original post was bringing up how contradicting a lot of fans are, I even brought up the Nas grammy situation so I don't know why you go with this only Jay stans gimmick, I don't like pitchfork either but when cats use review sites to bring up how good their fav artists is, but turn around and shyt on review sites when their same fav artists get shytted on is hypocritical. My posts go way over your head, I brought up facts in my posts and you ignore it.

Who in here said Jay was their favorite artist? Where'd that come from?

I just saw cats sayin' they didn't like Pitchfork.

So they don't like the Miley lyric. Clever but comes off kind of cheesy, fair enough. :ehh:

But meanwhile you have Kanye spitting pathetic lines like "I got a bad reputation / Start a fight club, Brad reputation" and that shyt is worth 9.5? :heh:

Pitchfork been a joke.

I don't feel how 50% of this and other reviews talk about his money and the promo/Samsung.
Excluding that, the review was a good read. How the hell they have it 5.8 and WTT 8.5 is interesting.

The review is well written and make's some good points. But as usual the mongoloids just look at the score and scream "CAC" and arbitrarily bring up other reviews.

The score was too low though. It's at least a 7/10
