Do black people even review hip hop anymore? Or have we strictly delegated that role to outsiders?

Well when you have radio stations interviewing a rapper and being like "Naw man I never even heard of you until you walked in" It seems like that's the case.
With that being said fukk this Hipster fakkit.

LOL at the skype line. I semi enjoyed the Ross album today driving around. Like i semi enjoy all the 4 previous Ross albums. They're usually good for 5 spins each before cd shelf purgatory.

Jeezy bodied Ross on that duet too.

I disagree , he got mostly good reviews off the album and it the Mastermind is very postitive, go thru the thread.

I'm not just talking about the album, I'm just talking in general, but if you aint listening to hip hop like that dont review the shyt........same shyt nipsey say.


Just look at this fukking dude man.......Hip Hop album reviews from this guy.

I never really got into that people invading our culture shyt but got damn what happened to the source xxl even fukking rap pages, at least I knew they was hip hop



Clearly this dude aint listening to street rap everyday

Average on Metacritic is 68. Hiphopdx gave it a 3/5. XXL gave it an XL, but that was XXL for beats and M for both lyrics and originality. 5.8 on Pitchfork, 6.5 on Rap Reviews. I can't actually find a review from The Source.

Personally the albums about a 7 for me, but it's not the new classic or the new LAD that everyone in that Coli thread was saying.

didn't listen to the album but the stuff he's criticizing it for kinda sounds like Action Bronson's Rare Chandeliers (over the top imagery of luxury crime tales and comedy) which he actually reviewed and seemed to have liked.

That's because he goes into an album already knowing if he's going to like it based on the artist.

Needle Drop does great reviews most of the time. He's honestly one of the few really critical ears left out there who isn't just giving an artist a good/great score just because the artist has sold well a few times. And whether I agree with his reviews or not, I always walk away from them with two things: knowing that he took a definite stance with how he feels about the album, and that he explained his stance clearly. And I think he covers rap pretty well. Him being white has nothing to do with it.

All that said, this review was beneath him. If he didn't want to review it, he should've just not made the video. Don't make a video and act like you're above reviewing it if you're just going to clown; the album has gotten some decent reviews, and there are people who take his music, and him as a reviewer, seriously enough to warrant either a real review or nothing at all.

breh u cant be serious posting a review of a ross album with this dude as the screenshot

 

[Diondon]

This the bullshyt I be talking about. Are you serious with this shyt OP?

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

seems like he had his mind made up before he listened to the album

the Dead End Hip-Hop guys give the most thorough and honest reviews imo

Stfu goofy ass nikka

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

Btw this album is trash the last one was better

 

[Why-Fi]

3 minutes is a long time to spend on something you can't be bothered to care about...

 

[Ronnie Lott]

this has nothing to do with that shyt, mastermind is a bad album (quality wise) from a critical point of view.


everything about this album is bad...

Thats just your opinion tho.
