Why are these music critics turning on Drake now?

[mobbinfms]

Drake is a different type of artist

He's on the level of prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Adele, Beyoncé, ect.

They all get panned by the critics but the streets don't lie.

His albums sell 1 mil plus first week. Kenrick will never do over 300k first week, ever. Plus CACs are getting tired of kendrick and those are the only people who buy his albums.

So he's a pop artist is what you're saying.

Like the Beatles

Nothing and I know these people in real life.

 

[blizzard man]

we should turn on this thread

 

[CrimsonTider]

Knowledge of the area they are critiquing. The ability to think critically. The ability to put an album in context. The ability to write well.

This is all in theory of course.

You know well as I do its all nonsense when it comes to music.

People hear and listen to music for all different types of reason.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

I shoot/creative direct for all the major music and fashion magazines.

The album isn't that good. It deserves the scores its getting.

Turn the 6 upside down, it's a 9

In this case "Turn the 9 upside down, its a 6 now."

Don't know much about the Beatles. Don't fans of white music think some of their albums are the best ever? Wouldn't that separate them from Drake?

What makes a music critic opinion more valid than anyone else?

My thing is when the reviews are high is your stance the same?

Yes, I dont have an agenda. Other than someone who is a music critic is actively scamming the company the work for of money if they are getting paid for this work

An album being rated 100 isn't going to make you like it more if you listened to it and you aren't feeling it.

 

[gho3st]

because the album is a major letdown compared to his first 3

Funny enough it is better than NWTS by a mile
