Rick Ross - Mastermind ethered AGAIN by another review, this time by Needle Drop

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

that's the problem with a lot of hipster hip-hop fans. they take this shyt WAY too seriously sometimes and always over analyze shyt and don't just ENJOY the music for the entertainment that it is.

THANK YOU

The Migos are one of the HOTTEST acts out right now and i LOVE their shyt.

But looking at fantano, a guy with a masters pursuing a professional degree can't appreciate it.

fukk that loser.

U know damn well this boy ain't got no business reviewing no damn Ross album. He really ain't got no business reviewing ANY street music. That's like Boosie reviewing a Celine Dion album. Just because u have an opinion doesn't make u qualified to review this music

I'm saying

nikkas are defending THIS guy?

Let me ask you this: Take country music for example, the white folks who live, die, eat, sleep and breath country music. The white folks who live on farms, wear wranglers, go to rodeos, line dance at country western bars. The white folks who live on ranches, ride horses, cowboys, drive pick up trucks with American flags/ confederate flags and listen and support MFs like Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks or Clint black, do you think those white folks would lend any credibilty if Sway, Charlemagne, Angela Yee, Envy, Vibe Magazine, Ebro, or any other black music critic or black reviewer of music?

Do u think that white fans of country music/bluegrass would waste a minute of their time to pay attention to the opinion of any of the black people i named? HELL NO THEY WOULDNT. They would laugh at the mere idea of one of those black people who dont come from or live that country shyt like they do. Angela Yee, Charlamage, Sway etc dont live that culture, they didnt grow up with that shyt, they are essentially outsiders, just like this white boy that gave this review. There is no way in hell that I would listen to this white dudes opinion on hip hop. Whether it be good or bad. his voice holds no weight with me.

But we have MFs in this thread runnin to this cats defense, when white folks who listen to country music, heavy metal, acid rock WOULD NEVER take a black persons review of the genre of music serious. Like i said, dude is disconnected like a MF. His opinion of rap doesnt mean shyt to me

This is who people are defending bruh:

This is his girl:

I think he shows decent understanding of it in this review of Oxymoron, though.



I think it's worth mentioning that Mastermind is a pretty divisive album. Some people think it's Ross' best album ever, some people were extremely disappointed with it. It isn't a project that's universally praised like Teflon Don or Rich Forever. I think Fantano's opinion is just one of many of those that are circulating.

Fantano is using Ross' credibility against him where in SchoolBoy's he succumbs to that TDE hype about how 'real" they are as a benefit.

I see right through this clown

I disagree with his assesment of God Forgives I Don't being all about the triumph and party life of the drug dealer..

I mean did he even listen to the words of Ashamed, Hold Me Back and Triple Beam Dreams?


He even called Andre's verse on Sixteen "underwhelming" and dismissed it with no further commentary..

I don't think dude isn't good at dissecting Black art because he's white.. It's because he's lazy, arrogant and out of touch...

But if you like your rap albums to be broken down by Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons then I'm sure he has some redeeming qualities..

When I listen to Fantano's review he has very little criticism about Ross sonically.. It's usually about content...

Besides...It takes a lifetime to become well studied in ONE form of music..How does this guy become an expert on everything from Bad Brains, to Taylor Swift to Chief Keef?



The trained ear that can recognize good metal isn't necessarily the same that can recognize good hip hop.. Hip hop itself has so many different sub genres that its difficult to even consider yourself an expert on "good hip hop"...Thats vague...Because Suave House isn't attempting to do the same thing as Marley Marl...So you can't attack it with the same sensibilities...

Hip hop is largely subjective. But there are certain objective factors you can look at. So it is possible to judge both Suave House and Marley Marl.

This post right here sums up why hiphop has lost its edge...lack of objectivity

Schoolboy Q & TDE in general are popular among hipsters though. You go to a Kendrick or SBQ concert there's going to be a lot of hipster (& white) people. SBQ & Ross don't appeal to the same demographic. SBQ is a more street Asap Rocky or Kendrick but he's not in that lane where he could do songs with Young Scooter & Guwop.

I'm not basing my opinion on one review. I've peeped his stuff for 2 years at least. I'm at the stage where I can predict what he won't like based on name alone. It's not that he doesn't like Mastermind. Its' not that he doesn't like Rick Ross (he doesn't fwiw). He doesn't like music that aims to appeal to the streets and black women.

Same thing with those Dead End Hip Hop guys. They shouldn't bother reviewing commercial hip hop or street based hip-hop. They won't like it.

At this stage, very few people can talk knowledgeably on all hip-hop. It's too diverse. And if you can talk knowledgeably on all hip-hop, even fewer will be able to do the same for indie music & dance music etc.

I've been to predominantly indie festivals. I've been to Coachella/hipster festivals. I've been to big and small hip hop shows. I' ve been to hip hop club shows. Jazz shows. If there's a person to can knowledgeably talk on all of the above. it's not Needle Drop.

Is making songs for girls no longer frowned upon? You mention Fantano not liking music made for women as if that's a bad thing?

Also, are we saying that there aren't some basic fundamentals that we can use to judge all hip hop? Is there no objectivity with what makes a good emcee anymore? Does that all go out the window if women like the music?

 

[mobbinfms]

bottom line is i hold no value on this dudes opinion of hip hop. he is in no position to tell me whats good or not. but some of yall can feel free to defend this nerds opinion

That's cool. But so far you seem to be basing that stance on very superficial reasons.

 

[mobbinfms]

my opinion on mafia movies is somewhat worthless compared to the people who actually grew up in that shyt.

That's a carefully crafted response that means nothing.
