an 8.3 for a record that's been universally praised with zero marketing budget is hardly "sensationalism" but continue to do you.

 

Apr 30, 2015

So universal praise is based solely on hipster blogs and select reviews now.

Alright cool.

 

Apr 30, 2015

i don't f--- with hiphopdx at all, but even THEY gave it a glowing review. and they love middle of the road bs like j cole.

You had to bring Cole into this
Hiphopdx is an indication of universal praise now

Like I said to each his own.

 

Apr 30, 2015

ugh, you dolt. i said universal praise. you said pitchfork was too hipster-y. so i point out a black-owned site that likes decidedly middle-of-the-road rap. you're chasing your tail.

Oh I see why you brought that up now. That makes sense. Still don't see barter 6 getting universal praise but it's whatever.

 

Apr 30, 2015

Just so y'all know pitchfork's score of 8.4 for Barter 6 is higher than the College Dropout, The Black Album, and Get Rich or Die Tryin, which are all classics.

Just let that marinate.

those all came out over ten years ago. none of the editors are the same. and there are like 700 words under each of those numbers. you're complaining like a ten-year-old.

I'm not complaining like a ten year old. We could go round and round forever but this is the standard pitchfork set for themselves.

Barter 6 also has higher scores than Friday Night Lights and So Far Gone (I hope this is recent enough for you) which are both considered classic mixtapes by most and earned both rappers a cult following young thug will most likely never amass.

I'm not saying all pitchfork reviews are trash but when people act like they are so great at reviews it's hilarious to me.

sorry, 15

 

Apr 30, 2015

my only thoughts on young thug and what his "art" stands for



this will likely be too much subtext for @Narsh to fully grasp but I think the message will get across

 

Apr 30, 2015

Wow ur so racist smh

 

Apr 30, 2015

I love you too man

What does how many fans a project gets you have anything to do with its quality?

And you know every pitchfork review isn't written by the same person right?

And last question, have you even heard the project in question?

 

Apr 30, 2015

can you prove that

 

Apr 30, 2015

Not to a r-----, no

 

Apr 30, 2015

These culture vulture White hipsters don't know anything about hip-hop

 

Apr 30, 2015

I'm really supposed to take that review seriously?

 

Apr 30, 2015

That review is about his album, not his appearance
