What is this? Affirmative action in music?
Proof that music reviews are simply about what is socially acceptable and trending and not what is actually good.
Yeah and p4k is the only reason thise artists get talked about here. If thy shilled different musicians, you wouldn't see those here.
Literally fucking retards on this board.
Does this take into account the progression of popular music towards hip-hop aka (usually) black artists?
white people just don't make good music anymore, anon
get with the times

website has to create a scene because music is dead.

Pitchfork and Fantano literally run this board

>people of color don't actually make good music
I'm not going to lie. It probably DOES have something to do with the social justice and poptimism trends from the last few years. Not that there's that much good other music though.

Yeah, P4K made a quite blatant change in 2010 starting with Kanye West's purchased 10.0 to make black pop music (meme rap/R&B) an "essential" genre.
Beyonce has done the same, their reviews are basically press releases with scores attached to them

>What does it mean for Beyoncé to drop a new surprise album on the world within days of a giant like Prince leaving us? It's a welcome reminder that giants still walk among us. She lives up to every inch of that superhero status on Lemonade. Like the professional heartbreaker she sings about in "6 Inch," she murdered everybody and the world was her witness.
Major labels purchase review/news cycle coverage, etc. from websites (The rollout of Beyonce's "OMG HERES EVERYTHING U NEED TO KNOW ABOUT EACH SONG ON LEMONADE!!!"), is quite sad.
/mu/ got brainwashed completely. If you are to diss Kanye West they carlthecuck ya with a "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!"
I think your arguments would have credence if you guys actually listened to good music, but you don't
N-no anon, blacks going from representing 8% of their lists to over 50% is j-just a coincidence!
Are you also upset that people running first place in mario kart never get the blue shell?
p4k rules!

Don't take the bait
>>64399634
makes no sense in this context, winning a race is objective, reviewing tasteless nig nog music and rating it high because of white guilt is an option

Well duh, the only proof that music is actually any good is that whether there are people still listening to that music in 20 years or so.

My main problem with poptimism is that modern pop music is legitimately terrible. I don't know why anyone would listen to it when it's so easy to access so much other music.

>reviewing tasteless nig nog music
as opposed to the tasteful whiny beta indie music?
>>64397871
>>64397935
I think you meant black people
>>64399793
Yes, at the very least, whiny indie musicians are trying to express themselves/convey a feeling as opposed to muh dick muh hoez muh drugz

I just pointed out that they have always liked "black music"
Are you giving me buzzwords because I don't fit in your hugbox, faggot?
>>64399886
not real
>>64397871
Let's face it: the golden age of pitchfork/white indie occurred between early 00s to 2010. Now everything is gone.
