Why are these music critics turning on Drake now?

i asked him to tell me how high sales makes an album good and he calls me a cac 
Likely because he pushes sonic boundaries which is something critics seem to eat up. Gripes with Ye in the last few years have been from hip-hop fans not the critics.
And a critic should be able to take that into account. Ultimately, I'm interested in what knowledgeable people think.
Problem is, there aren't any credible hip hop critics at this point
I'm only interested in what my ears hear

Exactly. Throwing "music critics" out the window, the consensus is that this album is a dropoff from what people have been used to from Drake lately.... the overwhelming response is "we've heard better from Drake." Why is that so hard for you to accept? You speak of critics shaping the narrative yet you've been doing a yeoman's work trying to shape the narrative of the consensus' response to the album yourself. How is what you're doing any different?
That's obviously not true though.I'm only interested in what my ears hear
Unless you've never:
- Read a music magazine
- Read liner notes
- Googled anything about an artist or song/album
- Had a conversation with someone about music
But that's not what you said
Not to mention the obvious, that if you truly only cared about what your ears think, you never would have clicked on, much less posted in a thread about what critics think.

Now if you're making the point that you're interested in what other's think and their reasoning like any intellectually curious person would, but ultimately you value your judgment over that of a critic

I pay attention to what other people think, but I always listen to music first. If I like something (and Views is a good example), bad reviews aren't going to change my mind on it. If something is garbage, good reviews aren't going to make me like it either. That's all I'm saying
No such thing as consensus

Because Kendrick is the media darling and has no personality, he makes safe music that cac critics eat up
Its a great album though

critics...To me I stopped caring when I saw critics fail to give an album like Thriller 100/100, even in hindsight. Then you start realizing their opinions on music aren't what they should be held up to. Like most people, critics' rating scales are either biased, propaganda or have no consistent system.
When it comes to music, what makes their word better than yours or anybody else's?

So much nonsense in this post.
-Cacs getting tired of Kendrick?
How...if anything "cacs are tired" of Taylor Swift being as how much she has been in the media the past damn year and a half. Kendrick name isn't even out there like that for people to get tired of.
Stop making up shyt just to shyt on Kendrick...take notes from @SirBiatch
Drake on a level as Mike and Prince?
