    I enjoy his reviews.

    Agree with some of his takes, disagree with others.

    Either way, he's entertaining.

    the way he talks about rap is insanely blinkered and borders on offensive

    He's okay, sometimes entertaining, sometimes cringy. Don't go out of my way to listen to his stuff but if it pops in my feed on youtube and I'm bored enough I might click.

    I'm not saying he's talentless—he def knows how to make an entertaining video and found a niche—but I think his knowledge of rap is really basic and never informative...for someone who listens to all music he sure puts hip-hop in a box with regard to what it "should" be.

    Also he's the most popular and well-known contemporary music critic by far, gets TOO MUCh credit if anything lol.

    He's so mechanical in his cherry-pick approach to reviewing hip hop. "Some of the songs on here are very non-descript" like bro it's not that f---in deep.

    Thanks I guess? :wow2:

    Generally don't like to sit on the fence too much but I guess it may come across that way in the way I post

    I like him in a sense I like Skip Bayless.

    They're just entertaining and fill a niche. Most of the time I disagree with his rankings and deductions.

    My issues with Needledrop lie within his own reasoning based style of deducting whether music can be good, especially when it comes to rap. If said music doesn't fit into his mold of what is objectively good (Kendrick, Death Grips), then it's merely discarded as otherwise. Feels like that limits his criteria and his refusal to budge only inhibits his range of critique.

    Don't mind him otherwise, I find his blind followers more annoying than anything

    I mean... Crooked I sampled his vocals for his song with Statik Selektah (on Statik KXNG album) but that's the only part I liked about melon head. He seems to be a dweeb.

    He’s pretty accurate when it comes to genres outside of hip hop. For example he doesn’t value technical ability in rap which is a terrible stance to have. He gives passes to certain artists that aren’t as talented as others, then ridicules the talented ones when they do something he doesn’t like, which is the wrong way around.

    Not to mention he’s a cornball. His Twitter is much worse than his YouTube though.
