Boy do the haters get busy on this 16-year-old. But scrutinize the "superman" matter (look it up) and you'll see that even if he thought he was sneaking something outlandishly filthy onto a pop record, his fans thought he was inventing a dance that involved flying, thus furthering the presumption of innocence so crucial to his cute. Unlike his crunk forebears, he's not into pimping or dealing or even strip clubs--"Booty Meat" is as explicit as his carnality gets, and not only is he looking not touching, he's hoping an amateur will "turn around just like a pro." He's still boy enough to worry about those F's, and the most winning of his many winning songs was written to, and on, his Sidekick 3. There are enough sonic strokes here to keep the wrong bizzer in ringtone rappers for a year. But Soulja Boy's spiritual secret is that with less subcultural support than, say, Be Your Own Pet, he's reached the top of his world on a few tips from ex-partner Young Kwon and the loyalty of human sidekick Arab. You can hear how tickled he is about it.

Christgau is a single-genre-liking hack
>writes the most pointless, vague reviews that are usually less than 3 sentences long
>reviews things after only listening to them once
>bias towards shitty pop/rap
>has a rating system that makes no sense
Robert Christgau is the original RYMer.

Noisey finally gave him a writing position? It's only fair, since he invented the poptimist mindset that Vice made their name out of.
>>61285827
Christgau treats pop as disposable but enjoyable, so he's kind to it. Poptimism is a contrived 'movement' spawned by retarded think pieces that ascribe more meaning to vapid pop that Christgau ever did

the reason most people don't like Christgau is because of the contradiction between his approach to criticism writing and his attitude towards music. He likes rock, pop, hip hop and african music for what it is, he just happens to write intelligently about all of it.
