and THIS is why I really dont mind the Bobbi Althoff shyt (lord help me if I regret this in a week/month/year) because theres relatively SO LITTLE these "journalists" provide while hiding their insider glazing as "the culture" and "journalism"Look at that hard hitting hip hop journalism, folks. Can't get this type of informative, culturally important content from outsiders.
Might as well let the streamers have it if this is going to be the standard of "reporting" in music

Like...I like Ray Daniels...but I *HATE* this discourse around "culture"...cause at this point it's just this ambiguous gate-keeping measure devoid of real standards. And Ray is a respected voice as an insider A&R which is more than 90% of these content makers.
