It's not a mess. Critics don't want the gospel/hip hop messaging.

Good point.

You made me think about how Da Baby mentioned how the media doesnt care when rappers talk about killing and destroying the black community.

Maybe Kanye felt that and added him off that

I never saw this hate coming

Do you have this stance whenever they call Eminem a genius?

Oh, Eminem is definitely not a genius.

I don't think it's that much of a calculated conspiracy.

Conspiracy? No, but this turn on a project that's sonically similar to Yeezus and TLOP, both of which were received positively. The difference is the subject matter.

Feels like this is gonna be one of them albums critics shyt on but in 10-20 years look back on and say it's an underrated masterpiece.

These critics always playing catch up.

Nah, 10-20 year this dud is gonna be long forgotten.

No one is going to look at this and rank it amongst the likes of MBDTF or CD. Ye was forgettable, dude is 0 for the last 2. Hang it up yeezy.

He was "rapping" and it wasn't heavy like JIK and Donda were. People need to get past the fact that MBDTF Kanye is gone.

95% of the "critics" reviewing hip hop at places like Pitchfork, etc. are cacs. Anyone who takes these reviews with any grain of salt needs to keep that in mind.

It's not conspiracy, but there is a cultural bias.

Why do people care about reviews anyway? Because some people don’t fukk with Kanye, they’ll use these poor reviews to support their case. However, when an album like TPAB by Kendrick has the highest rating of all time, people hate on that and call it overrated (even though I personally thought it was a great album). I never cared about some white suburban person’s opinion of anything involving hip hop culture.
