OFFICIAL and accurate 2015 BNM Tally: 43
The most wonderful time of the night, every night, right now. Here it is, the nightly P4K thread. Time to get comfy.
>Tonight's Top Stories
-Unheard Jeff Buckley cash-grab pan when?
-This thread hypes and supports Arca, Freddie Gibbs, Ty Dolla $ign, Sunn 0))), and Lil Bub.
>p4k
>>60347440
I googled weeaboo alert to mock you, but I think I found the most cancerous image Ive ever seen
Nothing like weeaboos pretending they arent weaboos
best thread on 4chan.
I hope we get reviews for Iglooghost or DJ Paypal. Chinese Nu Yr was one of the funnest EPs of the year and Sold Out was just a really progressive, enjoyable footwork release. Much better than Off That Loud imo, fingers crossed for an 8.0.
Daily reminder that Kendrick was robbed
the rest of this year is going to be so boring
I've got a one page final paper proposal due tomorrow morning for a class and I have noooooo clue what the fuck I'm going to write it on.
Don't procrastinate, kids. Now I'm going to continue to procrastinate.
>>60347734
How can you possibly manage with all that stress?
Go do it now man. It's gonna kill you in the morning.
>>60347765
"manage" is not at all the word I would use. you're right though, I'm going to try and brainstorm now
hello im new here and i have one question
>p4k
>patrician
Is this some kind of joke around here ?
>>60347734
1000 word essay on Aristotelian and Kantian moral worth due tomorrow.
Better procrastinate for another hour.
>>60347812
welcome my new friend. it is not a joke. thanks for the question.
>>60347829
Holy fuck that's even worse.
Are you starting from scratch?
>>60347539
Nothing more weeaboo than referring to yourself as an otaku.
>>60347812
These threads are meant to be ironic, but at the same time /mu/ is heavily influenced by Pitchfork's opinions whether they admit it or not.
>>60347855
Yep. Haven't even finished the readings for them. But 1000 words isn't too bad.
>>60347887
Well yeah you're right though. I looked at one of my past essays and 1000 words in size 10 font is only 2-2.25 pages. Not too bad
So one of the suggested topics to write about for this proposal is:
>Explore a fan community, their symbols, and their practices in order to determine how they construct meaning
I... I shouldn't... should I?
>>60347857
>>60347998
Do it
This thread will give you all you need
>>60347998
do it GCG I beg you. Seems easily bullshitable too
>>60347998
Honestly yeah. I think being here so long would give you the ability to write about it pretty well.
>how they construct meaning
lol though.
Daily reminder that +@ was robbed
I've ultimately decided not to write about /mu/, but /mu/-core favorite Kanye West.
The question is, do I analyze Kanye's effect on the genre of hip-hop (ending gangster rap's domination of the genre, paving the way for a softer, emotional sound with 808s and a harsher sound with Yeezus) or the fandom surrounding Kanye (KanyeToThe, hiphopheads, etc.)?
>>60348461
fandom...desu senpai
>>60348461
No, Kanye's effect. Allows you to analyze his albums and talk about his sound and style which can be explicated powerfully provided you know them and are a good writer. I think it'd make for a much more interesting proposal
>>60348568
Sorry, forgot to add that, like you said, you could discuss the impact that Kanye's music has had on the hip-hop genre, which would give more depth and purpose to your argument.
>tfw Grimes was our last chance for another 9.0+ this year.
;_;
>>60348722
There are always surprise drops to save us
Why doesn't pitchfork like Blur anymore?
>>60348722
Dont forget Chronatics
>>60348847
*chromatics
>>60348722
>>60348762
>tfw burial surprise dropped rival dealer in 2013 and pitchfork surprised us with a 9.0 for the last review of 2013
prolly p4k at its most based. don't forget we've got pope francis and supposedly massive attack dropping this year as well.
>>60348881
>we've got pope francis
if that papal post-rock album gets BNM, let alone even acknowledgement and a score from p4k, i'll write erotic fan fiction about rick ross and a pear and post it here.
>>60348968
I'd love to see Ian Cohen himself write the review for Pope Francis
>>60348722
Death Grips maybe, Kanye maybe
Both probably won't be released tho
>>60348864
Like it will actually come out in 2015. However, when it does come out I could see it getting a 9+ based on the songs that have been released so far.
TSK-A TSK-A TSK for the win baby
Another 10 BNR for ATCQ, meh
NIGHTLY RUNDOWN
A Tribe Called Quest 10 BNR
Cool Uncle 7.5
Tim Hecker 7.6
Jeff Lynne's ELO 6.3
Escort 6.8
The GOAT rap group's third best album getting a 10, let's gooooo
>>60349446
Where is that 6.8 guy when you need him?
who the heck is kris ex?
ewww, they're letting Kris Ex write reviews now?
ATCQ are openly homophobic but still got a 10 because it's okay for blacks to be bigots in the eyes of lelbrals
>>60347420
Has P4k ever declared any mainstream canon album to be overrated? I mean for fuck's sake, there's no reason to be an edgy contrarian, but it'd be good if they didn't just drone on the established consensus 100% of the time.
Not deserving of a 10
Shit senpai y'all didn't mention there was new Tim Hecker? Link???
>>60348461
Tupac ended gangster rap
>>60349574
They gave a not-so-kind review to Thriller a few years back.
>>60349487
By that logic they would have panned Ariel Pink's last album since was bashing feminism every chance he got
>>60349774
He got an 8.8 BTFO
>>60349448
I consider LET and MN hip hop classics, but this album? I mean... it's pretty good.
Hypothetically... if they were to review Low End and Midnight, those would have to be 10 too, right? Would ATCQ be the first group to have three 10/10 albums? In succession even
>>60349460
>>60349433
thanks for the shoutout yall. was at a girlpool/ alex g /eskimeaux show and missed it but thanks for the memory~~~
alex g was pretty shit :/
>>60350380
doesn't surprise me, i can't get into his music no matter how hard i try
>>60349574
Their original Pet Spinds was review was just "it was ok for its time I GUESS" 7.5
>>60350531
Pet Sounds* obviously
has a memerap reissue ever gotten anything less than 10.0?
BEACH HOUSE = AOTY
>>60349578
this
>>60349446
the new Jeff Lynne is surprisingly enjoyable, 6.3 is reasonable, I guess
>>60351280
I'm glad P4k acknowledged him at all, they tend to overlook comeback records by older artists (i.e. this year: The Pretty Things, The Zombies, Keith Richards, David Gilmour etc.)
Has p4k ever even reviewed a Type III, IV or V record?
>>60347539
>annoys the crap out of everyone
how do people deal with sounding like this?
Have a great day and a lovely weekend, p4k patricians <3
>>60351312
what does a type 0, I, II, III, IV or V record mean?
shitter musically the lower?
