Pitchfork is retarded. I really hate that site.

honestly, if were going by recent material (in the past 3 years), kendrick has Em beat.

Kendrick has EVERYONE beat.

I don't agree with most of the scores they give to the albums. For example, all Eminem albums, Coldplay's, JT's, and albums from artists that I like. And some of their opinions, just like the one revealed on this thread.

MBDTF is 10/10, though

[Kill You]

Pitchfork is the most hipsterish site ever. Remember they rated Yeezus higher than TES.

They called Berzerk a Pop Rap record.

Fuckin WOW.

These guys hate Eminem though, they show it in every single review. This album could be Eminem's best to date and they would still rate it as shit because it's Eminem. They'll give fucking Carter 4 a higher score than Recovery. Their opinions DO NOT matter, Pitchfork is a site filled with angry faggot hipsters.

The ''I love it though'' thing was in Kanye voice lol
I hate that site too
It was a goat joke because they always suck on Kanye dick in his reviews

[smash]

Correct me if im wrong (and I probably am, judging from the comments), but aren't they kinda defending Em'?! It seems like they're basically saying that if you liked Kendrick verse on Control, you should at least respect what Em did on Berzerk.

Eminem is extremely good at rhyming words without ever turning those adept lyrical gymnastics into a relatable narrative.

^ I think they meant Em's first singles

Ahhh gotcha, even so, I'd say Not Afraid was relatable and clear to lots of people, even people who didn't care for the drug part used it as inspiration in other ways.

Let us all take a moment to reflect on how hilariously wrong Pitchfork was.

"it sounds like
they’re just sick of Em’s sh*t."
Yup, veeeery sick.
6 million singles sold sick.
Critically acclaimed album sick.
1.7 million albums sick.
I can't believe I was sort of defending them.

This is what the guy that reviewed MMLP2 said about Hold on we're going home.

"It’s had a rough century, but things were looking up for the institution of marriage this year. Six more states legalized same-sex unions and beyond that, wedding DJs got an infusion of surefire new material—“Blurred Lines”, “Suit & Tie”, “Get Lucky”, amongst others—ubiquitous, charming songs by well-groomed, well-meaning men whose subject matter and rhythms won’t put anyone on the spot. “Hold On, We’re Going Home” also cracked those playlists, but while your grandfather can sing along to it without embarrassing himself and the light-stepping groove allows people to move without necessarily “dancing,” Drake expresses the kind of personal, ceremonial vows you hear at the altar rather than the after-party.

See, Drake’s never had a problem with intimacy, just commitment. Elsewhere on Nothing Was the Same, he makes life very difficult for Courtney from Hooters on Peachtree, Porscha from Treasures, and other women in his past that he hoped would be “the one.” Not the best he ever had, not the girl who can do better. "Hold On, We're Going Home" has him eyeing someone in the present with whom he can envision a future and let go of the past. What happens when they get home is left unsaid. They might make love, they might fall asleep on the couch. But either way, being together means they can be themselves.

That’s a feeling you can’t micromanage or overthink, and “Hold On” is delivered with necessary immediacy, its handful of crucial lyrics latching onto a cyclical melody. It’s a deceptively simple song that drew out instant covers from artists of all stripes—out of love, respect, and surely envy. They won’t be the last, because “Hold On” promises all we can ask for from a pop song (or another person): hot love and emotion, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, in sickness and in health. Endlessly."

I think we all get why he got a 5.4 then
