Lol.

[Kill You]

Wow they gave a rap album a good score, that's rare. Usually it has to be Lil Wayne or indie rock music to get a decent score. Their Eminem album reviews are terrible.

[LIL_B]

Lol.

everything eminemz makes is so badass

[Kill You]

Definition of biased as fuck. Recovery is not a 2.8 lol I don't care if you like it or not. It's certainly more than a 2.8.

[CrashBand]

MMLP is actually well-rated by pitchfork for a Hip-Hop album.

[Solace]

That's fuckin' sweet. The 2.8 for Recovery is terrible.

MMLP is actually well-rated by pitchfork for a Hip-Hop album.

I can't find it on their site. Link? I can find TES which they rated 9.1 though.

The review is really fucked up though...

[CrashBand]

I think I got mixed up, tbh.

But yeah, they don't give it a proper review and there isn't MMLP & SSLP.

What's Eminem got to do with this fam?

I'm a Kanye fan, but just... Lol @ Yeezus being 9.5.

Also, Slant and Pitchfork are ridiculous with Eminem, many reviews clearly written by gay men or people who never understood that Em (still) is not homophobic. Even to this day I see comments from critics like "it's good but the homophobia still persists" as if it's his real thoughts which he can't help but put on the album... and I've seen some insanely negative reviews of Em shit but those sorts of mags and it's SO OBVIOUS that it's because they think he's a homophobe, as that's the main gut of the article and they have sand in their vagina. Such retards.

But regardless, just lol @ Yeezus being a near-perfect album.

Near perfect should mean every aspect not just the production. The production is inventive and cohesive, no doubt... and I totally understand Kanye's aim to make an abrasive, minamlist, provocative, sparse and dark piece of work, and I'm all for that... but there's just no excuse for the half-ass laziness of his lyrics here. And I'm not talking about the rhyming... they're just so generic, there's the odd good line but beyond "New Slaves"... it's just the same repetitive babble about racism and pussy, done really badly. And again, I totally get that he's interjecting himself as more of a collective presence on the album rather than an overbearing rapper or true performer there - the album is cerebral and meant to be a whole experience of sound and provocation - but the provocation is too stupid in spots, the social commentary too paper thin... the ideas are just not good, and many are very lazy. The only truly stellar aspect is the music, but to give an album a 9.5 rating aka almost couldn't get ANY better with such lazy and nonsensical ideas and lyircs... meh.

Each to their own. I mildly enjoy the album and I love provocation and fucking with people's minds and it's what I've been yearning for, but Yeezus is just mostly stupid, and 'what could have been' for me. I don't think history will favour it as a near perfect album. That's just the now.

These kind of mags also seem to understand Kanye's very simplistic and broad provocation, but when it's done properly like on MMLP... they take it literally / can't separate it and view it through an artistic lense, because it's done too well. MMLP is a what you call a provocative masterpiece.

MMLP is a near perfect atombic bomb of head-fuckery...

Yeezus... is just a musically engaging album with silly lyrics and lazy wannabe provocation.

Interesting... this album is beyond great & a stone cold classic considering all the reviews I've seen so far. The thing is a lot of Kanye's own fans don't really think that way which is gonna most likely show when the sales come along.

ohhhhh

Lol at Pitchfork being never wrong. The fact that Recovery got SUCH a low score while Yeezus and even fucking Carter 5 got high scores. Fuck that. Yeezus is good, maybe even great, but it's NOT 9.5.

[Trimss]

Of course it's not. Lance is fucking around.

It shouldn't be more than an 8, which is already dope.

[LIL_B]

What a sad day for music.

My long time friend Revo.. how can i say you this... Our lifes all depends on Pitchfork's rating.
