Talib Kweli reviews a Pitchfork review of his album

[Love Sosa]

The original Pitchfork review Talib Kweli / 9th Wonder: Indie 500

Gives it a 3.6
pitchfork

 

[AMcV'88]

this should be better than the actual album.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Good for him. The album was okay, but the ethering of pretentious masturbatory Pitchfork reviews is always called for

Talib broke the dude's superficial critique down point by point, especially the Juggaknotz reference which Pitchfork writers constantly do. Reference some obscure irrelevant detail to give credence to their overwrought drivel

He did a great job in pointing out the reviewers factual errors.

 

[Jack Don the G]

Reviewers care more about how they write then what they review.

They look for ways to show their own dikk by looking knowledgeable while writing "clever".

I havnt heard the album but Im glad Talib gave it to them. How can you publish a review with so much factual faults.

 

[boskey]

Glad Kweli did this. The type of shyt they got wrong makes every review of theirs suspect

 

[Deltron]

Ether'd Pitchfork eloquently.

Pitchfork has no business with hip hop

 

[Hannibal Fox]

To drive home how little he knows about what he is actually listening to, Mosi then writes that 9th doesn’t “experiment enough with his beats” as if 9th did every beat on this project, or he was supposed to have. He credits 9th for his work on “Technicolor Easels” and “Understand,” but never mentions that it’s not 9th but Khrysis who did those beats. If the reviewer can’t even be bothered to find out who did what beats, again, how can this review be taken seriously? Isn’t Pitchfork supposed to be the gold standard when it comes to reviews? But this misinformation is acceptable?

Mosi says that “in spite of its flaws” there are two can’t miss moments on INDIE 500. But even in trying to give us props, he shows just how little he was paying attention to this album that he was “reviewing.” He credits MK Asante with a speech given by 9th Wonder at the beginning of the song Bangers. MK and 9th sound nothing alike. He then credits me with a verse from MK Asante. MK and I sound nothing alike. That’s two mistakes on one song. Do your homework, Mosi!

Pitchfork has no business with hip hop

I can't name a single Pitchfork hip hop review that's ever been illuminating. I thought it was well known that their hip hop opinions are cursory and not worth taking seriously.

this should be better than the actual album.

Exactly

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

unfortunately this is exactly what pitchfork wanted, this type of response
Talib and Lupe HATE pitchfork

Last time they did this with Lupe, the author's twitter went from 200k to 900k in less than 2 days... or something like that.

Pitchfork is the "let's say insane stuff that is mad controversial to get these ppl going" type of fukcs

 

[Grizzly]

people need to do this more often

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

or he could ignore critics and make what he wants to make.

Dudes gotta stop legitimizing their haters if they claim to "not care" so much.
