Id put some of the brehs on here's opinions over most hip-hop critics. Too much politics and agendas

discussion threads here are 100x better than any article written in any publication

some people (trolls) here have "agendas" but the back and forth mitigates that

 

[Sauce Dab]

Whichever ones Young Metro trusts
But nobody listens to critics. Music is all opinion based

 

[MrPentatonic]

Me or my friends.

Most critics are white or old so we really ain't into the same ish

[Big Mel]

Bol, Fantano & big ghost though they all have weaknesses I'd address.

 

[King Ming]

the mighty Hands Of Zeus aka Galaxy Knuckles aka Thor Molecules the great aka Phantom Raviolis aka Shampoo Bracelets the panty melter aka Broccoli Bundles aka Lamborghini Saxophones aka the illustrious Cocaine Biceps n the legendary Acrobatic Chromosomes hisself otherwise known as the world famous Big Ghost namsayin

 

[Zebruh]

None at all really. I listen for me really.

 

[Cynic]

I trust no-one....but give greater weight to those who have actual experience

for example.....

an actual mainstream artist who has recorded and successfully sold music and toured

F*ck all these armchair analysts

 

[SunZoo]

fukk a critic.

I'll listen to other artists that know what goes into crafting rhymes/albums whathave you...and even then that only gets them so far because they are still people with different tastes and opinions that I may not jive with.

The "Where's My 40 Acres" podcast.

 

[y que]

fantano is good for indie rock but his rap reviews are ass

his stan shyt with death grips garbage is stupid as fukk

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

i do find some peoples break downs of music interesting

fantano - worst ever
big ghost - i'll give him a pass but some people still think thats realy ghostface
deadendhiphop - more balanced than fantano but their reviews come out extra late

i cant trust nobody

 

[stealthbomber]

i cant trust nobody

i disagree with fantano a lot, but his break downs are the best

dehh goes pretty deep but they hardly put anything out anymore

since when did people really think it was ghost?

if you haven't, check out sandurz beat breakdowns





recently its been a lot of kanye which im not mad at but his older videos are my favorite
