JbreezyondeckI donāt think Iāve ever read a critic review in full in my life and that definitely wonāt change. Too much $$$ and politics involved, then you have people taking it as gospel without coming to their own opinion first
I actually used to bruh
Not because I couldnāt form my own opinion but because it was kinda fun
Just like when I watch sportscasters and their takes on s***, seeing someone with a professional platform sharing the same opinion you have of your fav artist new music or how an athlete performed just adds an additional layer of entertainment lol. Same s*** with video games and movies. I always peep reviews.
Seeing critical acclaim for albums like MBDTF, and GKMC for example and reading all the great things critics had to say was just a good vibe.
Rap critics are terrible now tho, they are all dweebs with s*** taste. The s*** they like doesnāt reflect the views of the people in the slightest. Most of the time their takes stand in direct opposition to public opinion. S*** aināt used to be like that.
I still look at them out of habit but Iām always disappointed so I really need to give it up lol

They obviously donāt get it and never will. Whatever it is they think Drake SHOULD be doing heās never going to do and the things that he IS doing that everybody loves always goes right over their heads.
I remember back in the Hov, Ye era reviews were kinda accurate. When the streets loved a Jay-Z album it usually got critical acclaim. When the streets felt like a Jay-Z album wasnāt it the critics usually followed suit. The critics of that era actually felt like they represented the culture at least to some extent.
Now critics are whiny, entitled, condescending, contrarian pricks who are impossible to please unless you are on their token rap artist list.
They care way more about stroking their own egos and getting views/clicks than they care about actual music, at least when it comes to rap.
Preach

I think people have to examine what they use reviews for.
Which publications do you usually frequent for music reviews, if any? Or a better question might be which ones do you usually take issue with when you come across them? Is it the usual suspects - Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NY Times, Guardian, etc.? This would make sense since they're considered reputable, trusted sources historically. And they're the most amplified voices...which yeah, is annoying when a review isn't necessarily in good favor.
But writing is an occupation that's taken pretty seriously, and should hold a lot of integrity. Now, integrity has a bunch of definitions these days so who the f*** knows where to start. But at the very least, writers should be given the license to express their own thoughts. I've seen in both of your posts that you take issue with the critics not reflecting how the people or the culture feels about the work. That's not really their job, in fact it might be the exact antithesis of what their role is.
The good thing about that is, there's not only Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NY Times, Guardian, etc. Theres a ton. Anyone, everyone is writing. Reviewing. Making video breakdowns. It's a wild time. And to bring it back here as an example, though Pitchfork may have given this a 6.4 it's not the end all be all. There are favorable reviews out there, and there are not.
