I don't know if your old ass reads reviews, the correlation between sales and ratings is plausible. I read reviews because I listen to approximately one new album per day and it's 99% indie. It's pretty hard to search for new artists all day and I'd rather have a reviewer I trust tell me about the album before I waste 2 hours on it.
What you think about War Machine 3 by TefPoe?

My girl was playing it the other day and all I heard was some raspy cigarette voice crooning. I like Work though.

he didn't have to say anything at all...i don't know why y'all act like it's so impossible for people to like something...
Didnt say people can't enjoy it

But artist do this all the time exaggerate how much they like another artist album especially one that is in Rihannas position(mainstream spot)

stop being a stan. it's not becoming of you.

I'm not a stan. I like the album, so I'm giving it free promo. It's that simple. It's one of the best she's made. Not that typical pop sht.


It's pretty good. It's the first album of hers that I've listened to from beginning to end.

Me too. That's why I keep making threads about it trying to get others to buy it or at least listen to it.

She has many albums that are better than this one

Like?
Going by Meta it's

Rated R - 75
Anti - 73
Good girl gone bad - 72

61-67
Loud
Talk that Talk
Unapologetic
Yeah, Crimson never knows what he's talking about. The only album of hers that people can say was better than this is rated r, really. He must only like her "turn up" songs. Terrible taste.

i swear if Quest would've said he hated it, the comments would be vastly different in here


Right! They would agree with it even though they've never even listened to it. Some would say "It's rihanna, what did you expect" & Some of the males would come in here talking about "queen bey" .
Why Questlove why?! :why:


B/c it was a good album and he likes it.
:philjacksonlol:


My nikka talking about a Rihanna album like it's some sort of intricate piece of art or some shyt.

It's just Rihanna, my nikka.

:dead:

This album was not "just rihanna" it wasn't the typical Pop , hit single turn up music rihanna. The album was/ is art, which is why he likes it and praised it as such. & so do others. You would know this if you listened to it though.

My girl was playing it the other day and all I heard was some raspy cigarette voice crooning. I like Work though.

LOL. She must have been listening to Love on the Brain or HIgher. If you listhen to the lyrics, Rih was drunk off of whisky in the song (not really) Higher, so it wasn't supposed to sound pretty. "This whisky got me feeling pretty" lol

People who are saying Anti is trash don't know good music when they hear it today. I'm not a Rihanna fan at all and I don't listen to her outside of her hits and a few cuts I've heard here and there over the years. She's always been solid enough to keep the surface level of my attention entertainment and music wise. Overall, even though I can't say I've listened to her other projects in depth, I've heard enough to hear a leap of growth you don't really hear in artists creatively at all. It's so forward it's almost shocking and it makes you want to cheer her on because you see someone that took their time. People were rushing it and she wasn't rushing it for a reason. She wanted to make a statement and she did. Even all the weeks and months leading up to the release, I could care less about Anti. In fact, I couldn't understand why people kept asking for it.....I didn't think it was anything special for people to even be sweating it like that. Honestly, It's good. You can be a Hip Hop fan and still appreciate this without it somehow taking a hit at your masculinity or credibility. Being a Hip Hop head in every sense of the word is being musically inclined. There are so many elements of music....rhythm, harmony, tone...everything all into one. You have to have a good ear....and if you are a hip hop head, you also know hip hop heads are eclectic and we have a lot of deep weird funky tastes that nobody would guess. This is not a discussion about the validity of your taste in music, but it is a statement about how an artist has captured mine unexpectedly. I think many others feel the same.

Pretty much. Questlove is a c00n/cac. :camby:

God forbid he has an opinion that differs from coli group think.

Never trust reviewers. Especially on music I'm sophisticated about.

How about your ears? :what:
How the fukk should I filter out wack shyt by listening to every album in the world or find new music with my "own ears" have you cats never heard of the concept of time? :mindblown::mindblown::mindblown::mindblown::mindblown::mindblown::mindblown::mindblown::mindblown:



Filtering out = NOT listening to it.
I don't even understand what you are talking about.

"Let me download these 300 albums and spend about 600 hours on them to find the nice ones, perhaps quit my job too".
