Bullshyt

And how is it embarrassing that he responds to a reviewer who obviously didn't do his homework :comeon:
How is that bullshyt?
All 10/10 albums are albums that brought something completely fresh to the game.

And the review is him reviewing his own album from his own perspective, the reviewer is reviewing it from the music he's listening to and how it sounds to him. Every rapper can criticize reviewers, because it's pretty obvious that the rarely think reviews are better than what they think about their own music.

And he really caught feelings about the thing with it being a compilation, dude just said that it sounds more like a compilation than a concise album. Compilations always get lower reviews since there's no "album" to review, just like an EP.

Don't get me wrong. There have been some excellent Pitchfork reviews over the years where they capture the nuances and emotions the music evokes perfectly, but because they try to review every album and hold themselves to a high intellectual standard, it seems like we get too many lazy-but extremely verbose-reviews. Sometimes the reviews read as editorials or critique of the artist with little to no mention of the music. Doesn't help when the reviewer sounds like a prissy a$$hole....and is offbase. This Talib review isn't the best example of that, but I'm glad he called them on their bullshyt. More people should
