Not one bit, probably would have been fired already. But unfortunately, rock fans themselves don't shyt on their artists as they get older like rap/hip hop fans do. See: The Coli.

Inspired by this tweet.

And this thread.
Pitchfork has 44 writers only 4 are black.. UPDATE** T.L.O.P 9/10

Here's a run down of all of the black employees and these publications.
VICE
Employees of the month y'all.
February's Employees of the Month | VICE | United States

NO BLACK PEOPLE!

UPDATE: 4/10/16

NOW I see alot of y'all still talking about Vice, making threads about them noisey ATL, CHIRAQ, Miami, etc documenatries with rappers but look at that and then take a look at these articles and then put two and two together to find out why Vice has no black people on their staff.
Google


A Historical Guide To Hipster Racism

Complex

GQ

TOTAL

great post..

the site has been a great thing, tho.. we have alot more great posters, than sh!tty ones.. just depends on who/what one wants to entertain.. alot of great music, sports, topics.. we cant let the few, overshadow things.. but, i hear what you're sayin, tho..

There is no reason why The Coli couldn't do reviews.
or artist Interviews.
Or have a Youtube channel with News/stories/interviews.

We are sitting on a powerful platform.

Any of us could start a blog or youtube channel.

@1984 I understand where your coming from. But we as people need to get on our Marcus Garvey shyt and start our own
EVEN IF WE START VERY SMALL IT'S STILL A START.

I enjoy and appreciate the dialogue, but then there comes a time for action.

Please send me a pm

then what the fukk is the coli waiting for, lets get this shyt popping...

Please send me a pm

I respect them to but I'd take most white people over that Oreo who looks like Young Thugs father. I use pitchfork a lot, but mostly for other genres. Unless it's to view a hiphop albums reception in relation to other genres. If I'm looking for some opinions on a standalone hiphop album I'd rather check what my friends are saying, people on here except the usual stans/haters, hiphopdx, DEHH, other rappers etc. And if it's a respected hiphop reviewer freelancing for one of the alternative magazines I might check his opinion to, other than that i'll just check the rating as a benchmark. I don't know about the rest though.

What people don't get is that these magazines like Pitchfork, if you have 4 writers of 24, that's 1/6. And I guess that hiphop and RnB is less than 1/6 of the shyt they review. Like 80 % rock/folk and its 100 sub generes, indie pop and its 100 sub genres and electronic music and its 100... Then 20 % hiphop, rnb, jazz, commercial pop, soul etc. So it makes sense, if we're breaking down race of writer to race of musician that's reviewed.

Please send me a pm

that tumblr barely scratched the surface of gavin mcinnes's fukk shyt. also molly crabapple, who's a frequent contributor to vice(and probably a self hating puerto rican but thats another story) doxxed the woman who dug up dylan roof's manifesto, exposing her to retribution from countless white nationalists. vice can eat all the dikks.

i like craig jenkins and kid mero tho
