Song of the year everybody
Most embarrassing list of all time. It's time for us to kill Pitchfork. no more p4k threads, no more score predictions. the entire list is the most clickbait white-guilt jew loving kekold shit ever.
If you care about the rankings of a song on some irrelevant music website you are a loser
what a fucking joke of a list
D'angelo and Thugger are the only ones who deserve to be on that top 10
>picking literally the most forgettable song
I forgot that was even on TPAB
Not even one of the 5 best songs on the album tbqh senpai
this is my soty tbqh

>>61022698
The weird thing is, The Blacker the berry is much better than Alright And King kunta, but the latter two are in the top 5. What the fuck
Am I the only one think alright is one of the worst song on tpab
Drake, Chance, The guy that wants to spit on graves...it's happening, meme rap is being taken over by the black bourgeoisie and the cultural marxists are falling for it. Stop upper middle class black men from making rap music now.
>>61022788
It's because blacklivesmatter people chanted Alright at rallies, literally that's the only reason
>>61022725
totally agreed. p4k has turned from irritating hipster website to poptimist pander-to-the-masses bullshit. it fucking hurt to read that list; it's like it came out of buzzfeed.
I'm surprised Alright ended up being the hit song. Pharrell's contribution was minimal, and I'm sure most plebs don't even know he's featured.
King Kunta was an interesting pick, to say the least.
I honestly thought that Wesley's Theory was going to be the big hit.
Good goy
>>61022698
>>61022698
2015 was the most forgettable mainstream year, best /mu/core year.
Yes, p4k is mainstream.
Carles said it was so.
damn birdman was so close to having a top 5 soty on pfork
Depreston
Lift Me Up
Really Love
those are the only not shit songs in the top 10
kill p4k
I dont like rap music that much mu. I remember when Pitchfork used to cater to the indie rock and Kanye that I listened to all my life. Now they are trying to convince me that hotline bling is a good song and i feel like everyone in the world thinks it is except me. Am I autistic? Why aren't my tastes being validated by this blog?
I don't understand why Alright of all songs is the one people are rallying behind. It's so fucking boring and the hook is just boilerplate Pharrell. Not even in the top 10 best songs on that album
>>61022698
>One of the worst songs on the album
>Song of the year
Tame Impala's Eventually should be in the top ten, not Let It Happen
Also 'Alright' isn't the best track off the album, but it is one of the most culturally relevant tracks. I stand by it being no.1.
>>61023006
>and the hook is just boilerplate Pharrell
well, the world has eaten that up since get lucky
Don't forget to include Hotline Bling was #2
Pitchfork is horrible
>>61022698
literally #BlackLivesMatter XD the song
>Dimed Out in #84
>>61022813
I hated it
yeah
the mid section of the album is the weakest
>>61022865
>Wesley's Theory
That's probably my favorite on the album, or maybe These Walls
P4K's SOTY list
1) Kendrick Lamar - "Alright"
2) Drake - "Hotline Bling"
3) Jamie xx - “I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times)” [ft. Young Thug and Popcaan]
4) Kendrick Lamar - “King Kunta”
5) Tame Impala - “Let It Happen”
6) Young Thug - “Constantly Hating” [ft. Birdman]
7) Grimes - “Flesh Without Blood”
8) D'Angelo - “Really Love”
9) Courtney Barnett - “Depreston”
10) Vince Staples - “Lift Me Up”
11) Sufjan Stevens - “Should Have Known Better”
12) The Weeknd - "Can’t Feel My Face”
13) Rihanna - “Bitch Better Have My Money”
14) Miguel - “Coffee”
15) Adele - "Hello"
16) Donnie Trumpet & the Social Experiment - “Sunday Candy”
17) Grimes - “REALiTi”
18) Jamie xx - “Gosh”
19) Vince Staples - “Norf Norf”
20) Fetty Wap - “Trap Queen”
Well it's official, we can no longer judge even pop on its musical merits, nope it is now scored on "relevance" only
>>61023078
absolute cringe
>"But after Lamar’s dirge comes the chorus: "We gon be alright," an ebulliently simple five-syllable refrain, a future-tense assertion of delivery to a better, more peaceful place."
lmao
>>61023046
can't believe Hotline Bling was anywhere on that list, let alone #2 :/
>>61023078
There is literally not one good song on this list not even one
This ranking is basically "look how special my music taste is!!! Please follow my tumblr blog!"
>tfw when you actually thought this was the best song on the album, and was in your top 5.
Pitchfork felt obligated to put it at number 1 so they could justify making TPAB number 1. At least they're not Rolling Stone.
>>61022698
In my humble opinion, Kendrick could make a song titled "I am a dirty nigger and I eat the ass", and it would still get acclaim.
>>61023078
It's full of browns and women
>>61023078
WHO THE FUCK WROTE THIS UP??
MEAGHAN GARVEY?!?!?
How is Ch-Ching at 82? That song is straight fire.
>>61023063
Are you me?
I don't know why /mu/ hates on album so much (besides being contrarian and making fun of memetano), but I thought people would like it more. GK, MC is a good album, but nearly every song is shit you'd hear on the radio. Every fucking normie loves that album and /mu/ does too. Then Kendrick drops this, with songs directed towards a more "serious" listening, and /mu/ memes it to death.
I'll never get this board. I mean this isn't my favorite 2015 album, but it is up there.
>>61023078

>>61023103
I don't even care about the songs on there but how does that list even imply "being special"?
>>61023135
because /mu/ doesn't like being reminded white privilege exists.
>>61023156
It doesn't. That's what he's saying is the problem.
>>61023148
god i love that song so much, great taste my friend. that album as a whole is underrated
>>61023168
hey tsk could you explain the tylo be chillin meme
>>61023135
>this post right here that I'm replying to
Seriously so many people I know don't like it because it's not an entire album of Backseat Freestyle. It's good shit family.
You know they get paid to praise these "artists" right?

this is already accepted dude tbqh
>>61022698
photo of the kek that wrote the blurb about Alright at #1 and brought you great lines such as:
>The world, and America in particular, and for minorities specifically, has experienced a veritable buffet of social garbage.
>"Alright" spoke to black Americans oppressed and murdered, these days so frequently by those on the government payroll and sworn to protect. "We hate popo," Lamar raps, "wanna kill us dead in the streets for sure." It’s a basic sentiment that in this country has become undeniably truer day after day.
>"We gon be alright," an ebulliently simple five-syllable refrain, a future-tense assertion of delivery to a better, more peaceful place. In more than one instance, the song’s chorus was chanted at Black Lives Matter protests. It has soundtracked a movement.
>since the song was released, there’s been the murder of Freddie Gray, the suicide of Sandra Bland, the recent police cover up in Chicago, the shootings in San Bernardino, in Colorado, massacres in Beirut and Paris. Things, may in fact, be getting worse. Will we be alright? Who knows. But we’ll at least be together.

DALE
Sad that p4k started giving Ought the silent treatment this year. Beautiful Blue Sky is a true SOTY contender.
>>61023165
However coined the term "privilege" did a disservice to their cause. I can sympathize with the message, but it sounds very accusatory/alarming. People rationalize this as: "Oh, no one's life isn't easy. Just because I'm white you think I have it easy!?" It would have been more proper to simply say that while everyone leads different lives, white people get treated better.
>>61023207
I know what you mean. I had several friends that didn't play the album until late 2013/early 2014 because they thought it was pretentious rap.
Wesley's Theory is probably my favorite song, and it is really the only song to play at a social gathering. Every other song on the record lacks the energy or mass-appeal GKMC had.
Almost everyone I know told me that gave the album a try, but couldn't really bear it. Not "wild" enough and shit.

Pitchfork's been sucking Drake's dick for years now.
>>61023078
this is what political correctness and white guilt looks like
RIP what little margin of non-shit p4k was
>>61023136
that's actually one of the more agreeable tracks on there
the "I don’t see the light I saw in you before" line is ice fucking cold
>>61023334
is that anthony fantano?
>>61023338
They are a mass media company who bought pitchfork, they also own multiple other media websites including vanity fair, vogue, wired, GQ, and The New Yorker
And you people take their opinions seriously.
lmao at all the surprised posters here. and all the "white guilt" dorks too. please punch yourself in the face
>>61023046
>>61023102
I don't even think its that bad of a song but its so immensely overplayed that I don't get how anyone could sincerely say its almost the best song of the year
>sincerely
>>61023289
>suicide of Sandra Bland
Why the fuck does this keep getting brought up in discussions of police brutality? She had a history of depression and suicide attempts, the only wrongdoing is the cops failed to put her on suicide watch and check in regularly.

Who are they even kidding about being a real music publication anymore, let alone one for "indie" music? Bitch Better Have My Money is shit white girls sing when they're drunk, not one of the 20 best songs of the entire year

King Kunta and Mortal Man (not including the pseudo-intellectual Pac interview) desu senpai
GKMC is a better album by far, not sure why these normies love "mah social responsibility" bullshit
>>61023387
I love these memewords
How can you honestly believe that hotline bling is NOT song of the year?
>no Arca tracks at all
fuck this
Why do whiny bitches care so much about pitchfork and who they name as their top anything.
Get your head out of your ass p4k been dead for quite some time.
>>61023555
Yeah i used to think people were just being contrarian when they started praising GKMC after TPAB's release. But I gave GK a listen the other night, and it just felt a lot more fun and less "pandering". I'd probably consider them equal though
>>61023562
yes theyre meme words but theyre spawned after the meme itself lacks all self awareness
>everything in top 30 is either nig rap, Grimes song, Tame Impala song or Jamie xx song
>>61023590
This
>>61023555
King Kunta is the worst song on the album
Delete this thread
>>61023400
Don't forget they own leddit
>>61022698
Holy fucking lol.
I mean it's a decent song and if they wanna pick that as song of the year I don't give a fuck. But that writing... so fucking cringey.
Well this finally seals it. I'm done with p4k. Never visiting the site ever again.
>>61023078
>c.uck the list
Has based Scaruffi released his best albums of the year?
>>61023334
this looks so much like my highschool english teacher for sophomore year
come to think of it, he was a huge marxist liberal faggot, and i'm pretty sure he used 4chan. at least, that's the vibe i got from him. pretentious hipster like a lot of /mu/. also put a quote from american psycho on a test, couldn't help but think of 4chan.
mr g, if you're out there, fuck you.
>>61022698
I just read through the entire list. AMA.
>>61022698
I know their song lists have always included top 40 garbage but this is bad
they even mentioned patrick talking shit about kendrick in their text for dimed out

>>61022698
It's alright
Pitchfork actually used to be ok, now its completely keked.
Its over
>>61024470
It was never ok, it was just bad in a different way.
>>61022757
nope, D'angelo was 2014
>>61024407
Is Everything Everything becoming a thing now? That's cool. I was on that shit in 2012 when everyone hated them and they were awesome. No Reptiles is a bad song though.
Where do i go instead of p4k or tmt
>>61022698
wow. this list is straight garbage. Holy shit what a pandering mess. pretty fucking embarrassing honestly.
>>61023165
It's not necessarily white privilege as much as it's majority privilege. It exists in literally every nation no matter the colour. The most prevalent skin colour, hell ethnicity since colour isn't the only difference (the Irish up until the 80s were still racially profiled around the west, are still profiled in cases in England) will have inherent, subconscious bias towards their own. It's a biological thing.

How the fuck do people hate Alright?
It has the best beat of any of the tracks, has a nice progression, and Kendrick's performance is arguably the best of his entire career.
Complain on the other picks all you like but Alright is fucking golden.
>>61023078
This is why you can never like p4k
>>61024495
album came out after p4k made last year's list
>>61026176
Objectively inferior to Blacker the Berry, but it has #blacklivesmatter tier lyrics so white guilt keks eat that shit up
I hope RA fires andrew ryce and patric fallon soon. They literally hate techno music.
>>61026273
The funny thing about it is that P4k gave it a 9.4 vs all the 9.3's from this year.
so I've been thinking that this has been part of a master ruse all along
>>61026283
Nah, the beat on BTB is too janky, along with his flow. It has the lyrical profundity but has none of the soul and streamline that Alright has.
>>61023078
Literally lol

>>61026283

The only good song on TPAB is Wesley's Theory.
>>61026396
Wesley's Theory is literally the worst track.
Shitty effects on the instruments along with the CHEESY vocal contributions from Dre and that scratchy voiced guy at the end.
Kendrick's performance is totally unremarkable.
Hook is janky as fuck with the triplet flow.
>>61024116
Actually yeah he did the other day
Tho the only three albums he's rated all year were Nicholas jaar's pomegranates, TPTB, and the ark work. Jaar was the only one to get a 7 and it's literally the only album on his best of rock list

Why do ancotards think their garbage is worth praising? It's quite clear that not even Pitchfork likes them anymore while still praising their bonafide darlings Deerhunter, Sufjan and Grizzly Bear. They are absolute garbage.
Mr. Pitch Fork comes to your house and tells you that they're allowing you an Op-Ed on your 10 tracks of 2015.
What are they, family?

>>61023225
I feel so comfy for Rivers when I hear this new stuff, nice to know he is back in a good place
Drake is better than Kendrick Lamar.
The only reason they're prising this To Pimp A Butterfly is obviousely because the critic bait subject matter: racial tension, ~le black lives matter. The majority of the journalists are Social justice knights, so they're prising it.
This is a politically correct world, Deal with it.
>>61022698
Pretty deserved if we're being honest
I mean seriously, it's a really great song. Just listen to that drumming. It's so fucking groovie and sophisticated. I don't see a reason to think it's a bad song not deserving of a respectable place in this list.
>>61022827
This. I knew this was gonna be number 1 for that reason alone. I don't necessarily disagree with the choice, but i do think p4k need to rethink the way they frame their lists. Is this a 'best songs of 2015' list or a 'most important songs of 2015' list? Who even fucking knows anymore.
I think the only reason I love this list so much is because it's hilarious to see /mu/ getting so triggered and ranting about kucks and sjws

>someone isn't racist so they must be "politically correct"!
Also why are you even in this thread complaining about p4k's choices if you don't read p4k at all?
>>61026176
>Implying the /pol/ retards have even heard the album
>>61022788
i didn't really like that song too much, it seemed like mostly just a lot of kendrick being really angry with little substance
I KNOW WHEN DAT HUHLINE BLUHN

This is fair. P4k is no longer a reliable source for recommendations in my opinion, so I'm not influenced either way, but it's become more and more permissible to make mediocre music so long as it's relevant, stylish, etc. More to the point, this is a list of the most popular music from this year.
They realized at some point that they could reach a wider audience by focusing almost solely on the lowest common denominator--top 40 radio pop--because there's the best chance possible that the reader can relate and have a stake in the list. It's completely a marketing tactic. That being said, it scares me that this could represent what the world values in art.

Top 40 appearing on year end lists isn't some thing exclusive to p4k or any other blog/publication (Carly Rae's album is the best example of this) and it has nothing to do with marketing. It's just a result of the way music is presented to the public and the culture of music consumption being completely different from what it was even ten years ago. The indie sphere and the pop sphere have been slowly blurring together for some time now, and the revitalized poptimism we're seeing is just a result of that.

half assed, bandwagoning remix makes the list..
I know the songs list always has more pop than you'd expect, but damn this is mostly pop.
The thing about Pitchfork's scoring and rankings is that, in the past, it's always been based on what's "in the zeitgeist" of its core readership, ie urban hipsters in places like Brooklyn, Austin, Chicago, "cool" kids. This is how it was always one step ahead of the larger population, by looking at who the "influencers" are listening to and judging things based on that. While poptimism is certainly in right now, it's not to THIS extent. In fact punk and DIY stuff has had much more of an upswing this year and last year with that demographic than pop or hip-hop. If they keep going at this rate they'll lose their core demo in a few years and be forced to write solely about pop to get clicks from the larger populace... you know, like Rolling Stone.

>implying I was the person you were responding to
You're just not having a good stretch today man, you might as well pack up the shitposting and go home.
>>61029320
it's a meme u dip
scrolling through the list and not seeing any artist that isnt from the anglosphere.
why does pitchfork hate the rest of the world?
>>61029420
>my shitposts are better than your shitposts
>>61029277
Yep, you're right. In 2012 you couldn't avoid hearing "Somebody That I used to Know" or "Video Games" on the radio and it struck me as the line between top 40 and indie being completely scrubbed
>>61029469
I wasn't shitposting though, I just thought it was funny that someone reacting negatively to a /pol/-tier post somehow means they "worship black people."
i really could not care less about song lists but holy shit, this is a whole other level for Pitchfork Poptimism
>>61022698
It's a very good song desu don't see the big deal.

What music site do you guys read for reviews?
I mainly just go on RYM and Sputnikmusic.
>>61029537
I actually didn't read the thread before coming in, I just saw your post on the front page so I replied to it, the other guy's post was indeed pretty bad too. But responding to a shitpost with another shitpost isn't a good way to try and promote quality posts on the board anyway.
>>61029564
I actually like AllMusic. They don't have a political stake or aren't marketing on the level of p4k, and they cover a lot.

Well gee maybe if people didn't post the "race bait memery" in the first place posts like mine wouldn't exist.

>>61029823
Where did I imply that, I clearly admitted earlier (>>61029590) that the other guy's post was shit too
>>61029865
>implying all these implications
>can't even keep track of them
>Because Pitchfork is like your basic hipster.
>See, they want to sound like they know everything about music, so they'll criticize the really big indie bands that are really popular, they try and go for bands that no one's ever heard of and say they're amazing, and of course, so they don't seem like they're close-minded, they'll take the most popular bands in pop and rap and say their albums are great too.

the only thing wrong with this list is that there isn't enough rap on it
not p4k's fault rappers are blowing everyone out right now
>>61029913
C'mon man, I know this might just be some Mongolian cartography community but it does really pain me to see the state of this site these days. Yeah, 4chan was always bad and whatnot, but I've wasted eight years of my life here at this point and even back in 2010 it wasn't this bad. I know it's not my secret clubhouse or anything and I don't care how many people are here but there was a time when people at least would put thought into their shitposts to make them funny instead of regurgitating the same tired memes over and over again. Maybe I'm just taking things too seriously because I used to have genuinely good discussions with people of differing opinions but I don't see why we can't have that back.

I've only heard 4 of these. The Weeknd one is always playing in every Uber I get after midnight. Do I live under a rock?
