Kanyefags BTFO
Redditors ready to commit suicide
That Guardian review is literally "the album is good but he's a knob in real life so it's bad".
???
>critics
NO IT'S NOT FAIR KANYE IS A GENIUS AND THE BIGGEST ROCKSTAR ON THE PLANET
>reading reviews
lmao
just click on the album and use your ears
the album is okay btw
>>62546392
yeah, welcome to modern music journalism
Every kanyefag before the release
>Yeah I agree, Pitchfork will give TLOP a 10 and the haters will be proven wrong. Critics are going to give this at least 9+
Every kanyefag after the release
>who even cares about critics r-right g-guys?
didn't The Guardian give MBDTF a 2/5?
Jesus Christ, why do you faggots need validation from critics to enjoy music? I don't even like Kanye but I can see that his fans are delusional to all hell
a) The UK doesn't actually get Kanye
b) Reviewing an album less than 24 hours after it's released.
>>62546866
>b) Reviewing an album less than 24 hours after it's released.
This. How is it possible?
>>62546866
>b) Reviewing an album less than 24 hours after it's released.
Yes i mean, by the 24th listen I still can't understand the theme of the album you know, you need at least 50 listens before it starts clicking.
R-right?
>one is guardian
>one is from before the album even came out
Try again Fandango
Kanye is dogshit.
Those reviews were written months ago, mainstream press is a joke etc
they're just finding narratives
>>62546961
they get the albums beforehand retard
>>62546945
Keep believing it's about the number of times you listen to it, you're really proving him wrong.
>>62546647
This
Ye drones on suicide watch
>>62547003
the album that was just finished less than 36 hours ago?
It really doesn't matter what critics say, TLOP isn't gonna need the extra to sell well. What's more interesting is how other artists are gonna respond to it. Yeezy controls the discourse of popular music.
>>62547003
they reviewed his livestream

>>62546540
Literally everyone else worships Kanye's music idiot
>>62546288
The Guardian gave MBDTF a 2/5
TLOP better than MBDTF confirmed?
3/5 is pretty much what I would give it, but that Guardian review is fucking awful. Posted like 10-ish hours after release, bases half of his opinion on Kanye being a "thundering plonker" (Brits really do sound like that greentext), tries to act like it sounds anything like TPAB, etc.
>>62546288
Ha Ha Who Even Reads Reviews Nigga Like Just Listen To The Album
>>62546288
>Telegraph
>Guardian
I'll just wait for Metacritic
jews did this
The White Album was also poorly received when it first came out. These reviews are more of a commentary on the poor quality of music journalism than on the quality of the music.
the telegraph one came out like a couple hours after the premeir. He hasnt actually heard the album.
Yes, he published a review for an album he only heard on a shit recording and incomplete
>>62548627
Funny you should say that. TLOP is the modern equivalent of the white album. A misunderstood masterpiece years ahead of its time.
why is /mu/ so susceptible to hype?
>>62546288
>thundering plonker
look I'm from the UK but this is just a badly chosen phrase
>>62548722
boredom
>>62546647
>hurrr 4chan is one person
I saw people claiming both, but ever since the Cosby tweet and even more since the Taylor lyric went public memers have overwhelmingly been saying "INCOMING 2/10 FROM PITCHFORK"
It's british people. They hate rap and have terrible taste culturally. What do you expect? name one british rapper who doesn't suck and has released an album this decade? You can't
>>62546647
Nobody said this you stupid schmuck
>>62546766
Yes they did
its honestly one of my favorite ye albums, dont give a shit what anyone says.
>>62546766
holy shit they actually did
>>62547826
He's commenting on the fact that the critics gave a bad rating to the person, not the music.
Ad hominem, arguably.
A fascinating public persona is not synonymous with fascinating musical output, and while West's attention-seeking behaviour may be grotesquely compelling, the manchild himself is not. He fancies himself a tortured artist, but his mixture of ego and self-loathing could not be more of a cliche. He thinks he's an aesthete, but his taste (porn stars, luxe signifiers of high/white society) is mundane. Moreover, his talents have severely deteriorated since his days as rap's golden boy producer. This album offers beats that retread past glories, and an emotional palette narrowed to a range roughly as wide as West's navel. His way with words is now at exactly the level one would expect from that crushingly obvious title. West flags up his own self-satisfied, laboured jokes in an increasingly nasal flow: he whinges, we cringe. A ludicrous roster of guests serves only to show off his contact book – or, in the case of Nicki Minaj's stunning cameo on Monster, completely upstage him. Sadly, it seems West couldn't get Taylor Swift to join him on Runaway's toast to the "douchebags" and the "assholes", a move that would have slightly redeemed this uninteresting echo chamber that maintains the steady downwards trajectory of West's albums.
>>62547137
which was a far inferior version of the album
I expect a lot of panning but one of spins writers gave it a 10/10.
Idiot
>>62546647
>Because you need critics to affirm your opinions.
are you that insecure?
>>62546945
It's about his position in life rn he's winning in life look at the guest features on an interlude and in 30 hours he gets calls from ppl to make deals he payed 300k to get his laptop back in real friends he talks about how much more successful he is compared to Ray j he signed a rapper just to use his song in pt2 that's like one side of the album the other side is the religious side how when hes with his mom none of this stuff with matter
>>62548699
laughed
Honestly all the good songs were the ones he put on soundcloud before the album even came out. (except facts fuck that song)
>>62546288
more like FLOP amirite xD

Album sucks dick.....wasted beats, great beats at that. The Sub par lyricism mixed with the horrendous auto-tuned singing is really hard on the ears. Get off this egomaniac s ballsac, please. Much of his singing and lyrics are laughable....how can you take this shit serious.
Like, those reviews have valid criticisms
>>62546766
>The Guardian is one person
A great review from the daily beast
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/02/12/the-life-of-pablo-kanye-west-s-moody-star-studded-ode-to-fatherhood-in-the-face-of-fame.html
music journalism isn't dead!!
>>62546392
The Guardian is daily mail tier, just ignore it.
>>62550743
Quit dickriding. The album was crap.
>>62550746
no it's not
>>62550852
It's a left wing daily mail, and that is a fact. The decent UK papers are FInancial Tmes, Indepedant and The Economist lad
The Guardian has the worst web design I've seen all year
>>62550664
>I personally dislike autotune singing and I expect great lyricism from Kanye, therefore this album is bad
Wew lad
>>62550836
I'm doing no such thing
>>62546524
lol, it is funny isn't it :)
>>62549864
they're afraid to say it
>>62550664
>lyrics are laughable
true, Kanye IS pretty funny
>>62550249
famous
>>62546766
And then they acknowledged their fuck up and gave it #2 of 2010.
Oops.

Barely a month after? Jesus Christ that's pathetic, why does anyone take them seriously?
>>62550249
>grandpa opinion
>>62551355
it's a newspaper, different writers aren't expected to agree at all
>>62551034
The auto-tuned singing is objectively crap, so are the lyrics. You can't honestly tell me that these aspects of the music sound good, or are aesthetically pleasing,
Where can i listen to his album without buying it?
>>62551355
In reading further, the top 40 list for The Guardian is averaged out ratings of all of their writers. So there's literally multiple ties on their fucking list.
http://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/dec/17/albums-of-2010-top-40
Clearly the entire views of the writing staff are not reflected in their actual ratings.
The way they operate is entirely trash.

>You can't honestly tell me
Bitch I can and will
I thought the moment I saw the guardian writer referencing TPAB that it was gonna head in a bad direction but the reviews seem fine to me. They give credit songs that deserve it, though the guardian writer didn't find FML appealing which I find weird. He also glosses over Pt.2 like it doesn't even exist even though I think that song is incredible. 3/5 or 4/5 Seem like fair scores dependent on your personal enjoyment though.
>>62551661
I wish pt 2 was longer and I also didn't like FML
>>62546647
the only people saying P4K was gonna give Kanye a 10 were saying that the album was gonna be shit but it was gonna get a 10 because le white guilt maymay
>>62551785
I really enjoy the slow build up on FML and the way it leads into Real Friends I think is exceptional. Which other songs did you like?
>$20.00 to stream
>$240.00 a year to listen to Ye Ye
Please keep jacking off to thoughts about your black bull Ye cumming inside your gf while listening to Black Skinhead on repeat.
>>62551661
>He also glosses over Pt.2 like it doesn't even exist even though I think that song is incredible.
>>62551785

to be honest it's basically desiigners song and beat with a kanye verse
>>62551989

I wonder what kind of person types stuff like this
>>62551989
I know you're obsessed with black cock anon, but please, control yourself. We're not all into your gross fetishes.

I don't see how this detracts from it being good at all
>2016
>not riding kanyes dick
You some kinda faggot or something?
>>62552105
it doesn't, but its not his
Both these websites gave a low score to MBDTF too though
>>62552039
>to be honest it's basically desiigners song and beat with a kanye verse
Except the part of the song that came from Panda was 40 seconds of the 2:10 long song.
>>62546866
>a) The UK doesn't actually get Kanye
b-b-b-but im the UK
>>62552282
no, listen to what kanye is spitting over you dumbfuck
>>62552497
damn you got me senpai
>>62552546
I think he's just really out of it in terms of technology, seems like he put a lot of time into tidal and that random video game he made but doesn't understand why people don't care.
>>62551252
>then they acknowledged their fuck up
More like they backtracked on their correct decision and decided to fuck up.
>>62550949
>Insults the guardian
>Recommends the Independent
Wew lad
>>62552546
Fix wolves? What does it mean?
>>62552631
Make it the original version but have Frank at the end I hope
>>62552631
Delete it from the album I hope
>>62546766
>>62547774
ahahahhahaha
>>62551252
>And then they acknowledged their fuck up and gave it #2 of 2010.
No, they saw more reputable sites and magazines hailing it as a great album and they had to do the same otherwise they would look like the worthless buzzfeed hacks they are.

>>62552594
He's just one of the artists that releases music on tidal. Jew-Z's company owns it. It's the worst music streaming service I've ever seen.
Are any of you guys going to keep your subscriptions?

Why would I care about their opinion on hip hop? LMAO
>>62552659
Probably gonna release it as a Good Friday track next week
>>62552688
Chill man
>>62552788
I wouldn't put it past him to actually put it on the album since it doesn't get released until next week
>>62552764
I mean it's just an attempt to outjew spotify, it'll collapse within a year and everyone will forget.
>>62550852
Because you say so.
Yes it is. Because I say so.
This is a Guardian tier argument

It's clear you're talking shit. The sad thing is Americans or other non-Brits will read that and assume the Indy (its online version at least) is any better than a university paper, which it is not.
