Valentineand that’s why you can’t take hiphop discussions too seriously because 9/10 this is the average listener you are going back and forth with on a “hiphop” website like this
play that man some Tame Impala I bet he start breaking down chord progressions or play his some Tyler all of a sudden they tapped into black dance music influences
Long story short, these “journalists” are just prisoner of the moment fans following the trends in their writing as to not piss of too many users yet maintain whatever the popular algorithm is about the music they are discussing
“Cole getting real love in the streets? pffff who gives a f***, you see how many views “Cole is soft” gets versus feeding his stans? (who realistically will engage even more with honest writing lololol). f*** him, album mid. 5/10”
Crazy how they only act like that when it comes to black music

The Joe Budden Pod pretty much had the same complaints

Facts and I fw GNX s*** was tough, Dot always delivers but come on now that s*** ain’t 30 points better than every other rap album s*** is ridiculous and disrespectful to the genre
Kendrick is NOT the only nigga that makes great rap music. The way the critics tokenize him is crazy, they used to do the same s*** with Ye

Idk though. GNX was a surprise drop and didn’t have any published reviews until days later and that album was praised by pretty much everyone the day it released

Think it's the score more than anything. People see a 5 and tend to lose their s***. I think the album is at least a 7.5 personally but P4K's rating system never made sense to me tbh

Preme55_Kbots got the most s*** to say dawg honestly feel like Kendrick fans are the new Eminem fans. They dont even appreciate the art forreal theyre just d***riding the most popular mainstream lyrical miracle dude
Fr. Calling a J. Cole album boring is like calling a Nas album boring or like calling To Pimp a Butterfly boring or calling Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers boring or Drogas Wave boring.
It’s like calling Oppenheimer boring lol.
Just say you’re not into rap with lots of words and substance and that you care more about vibes and beats than dialogue.

From what I huurrred I Love Her Again interpretation was way off or at least didn't seem to grasp what the song was about (not that the reviewer has to like it but I'm jussayin)

GNX is better and was a much easier listen, we can’t be bitter because a double album isn’t getting the same praise

It was one sentence of the entire review lmao. Yeah he misinterpreted it but it’s literally a throwaway line in the review. His general sentiment is what most other outlets are saying about the album
