Props to p4k for finally giving some fair reviews for once, first Lemonade and now SNOOZE. lets be honest, views was shit.
Holy kek, mate. Black music btfo
>>64516904
Fucking finally. I'm tired of Pitchfork praising shitty black artists. Hopefully a turn for the better
Drake is forever a pleb
THIS IS BECAUSE OF CONDE
CONDE IS MAKING THEM HAVE INTEGRITY AND COMMON SENSE
GUYS THIS IS AMAZING
>>64516904
Eh, they gave 808's a 7.6
It'll grow on people
>>64517083
YALL FINISHED OR YALL DONE?
>>64517053
they gave lemonade an 8.5 BNM last week, let's not get ahead of ourselves here
>>64517129
8.5 is fucking LOW though
they gave self-titled an 8.8 newfag
>>64517129
Lemonade was a good album
>>64517089
Unlike 808's this won't be an album for inspiration for most
>>64517089
Explain how this album is anything like fucking 808's you complete fucking idiot
>>64517140
self-titled deserved it, and who are you calling a newfag
>>64517198
'no'
>>64517267
>self-titled deserved it
answers the second half of your post nigger faggot
>>64517140
but most other mainstream critics were like giving it perfect scores and shit. 8.5 is a good score but nothing really special.
TELL ME VVHAT U THINK
and when you see the 23s on my feet you know I'm tryna be the best
and I'm balling out in the 4th quater like I was possessed
tryna lead the wave of young niggas like I'm ceasar so you see me beat my chest
and we wilding out on these monkey bars I'm spitting like we in the jungle
I'm running through the competiion Like i'm lacy I'm dropping no fumbles

>>64517083
yall finished or yall done?
Sorry, but that's about the highest semi-reasonable score you can give to a super boring/bloated album by a trendy artist. The fact that the review refers to Take Care as a masterpiece (revisionist classic by fanboys) tips you off how kind they're being to such a mediocre project.
>>64517083
is yall finished or is yall done
>9
>Feel No Ways
>Controlla
>One Dance
Great tracks rest of the album is solid
>>64517339
how is that "revisionist?" Everyone loved Take Care when it came out.
>>64517339
>revisionist classic
yep, they literally put it as the top 2011 album in their decade-so-far list when it was originally #8 or something
>>64517354
It has a 78 on Metacritic. Not quite a "masterpiece" when publications like Guardian absolutely panned it.
>>64516999
>I'm tired of Pitchfork praising shitty black artists.
don't protest too much now
>>64517304
Joos is a cute. CUTE!
>seriously discussing p4k in 2016
You faggots are the problem.
>6.8
Fuck's sake, this shit's a 5 AT BEST
>>64517089
and both are garbage
also
>taking p4k seriously
>>64517280
fucking edgy mang please stop no more hurt
>>64517083
yall finished or yall done?
>>64517140
Does your entire music library consist of p4k 8.8+ albums?
>>64516904
TLOP AOTY
try again Drake
>>64516904
TURNED THE OP UPSIDE DOWN, HE'S A FAGGOT NOW
>>64517083
yall finished or yall done?
>>64517083
yall finished or yall done?
>>64517083
fuck off with this xdsorandum thread derailing/rule violating spam
>>64517083
yall finished or yall done?
Can we all agree aside from the album being pretty mediocre that there were a few really high points on the album but they got overshadowed by the monotony.
Read somewhere that the 2 albums thing is real and the second is named "From the 6" which has more of a IYRTITL and WATTBA feel
>>64520157
yall finished or yall done?
>unironically liking Drake
what the actual fuck
Word. can't believe WATTBA got 7.0, less than the watered down other future projects.. and NWTS needed at least a 9.
but this isn't fair, it should have been 5.8.
Pitchfork not reference specific music from an album is so annoying. In the essay that is the VIEWS review here are the only direct mentions/opinions of the music specifically:
>groaning paranoia on tracks like “9,” where he laments, “Life is always on, man, I never get a break from it/Doesn’t matter where I go, I can never get away from it.”
>Drake’s fascination with the city’s Caribbean enclaves take root in the effervescent rhythms of songs like “With You,” “One Dance,” and “Too Good”—all of them featuring welcomed guest vocals that break up the monotony and also allow Drake to get out of his own brain for a second.
>Rihanna co-stars on “Too Good,” finally offering a counterpoint to Drake’s constant disappointment with the opposite sex
>“Childs Play” finds 40 putting his spin on New Orleans bounce, bringing out Drake’s more playful side
>“Feel No Ways” is another sad story, but its beat—which zips up Malcolm McClaren’s 1983 hip-hop experiment “World’s Famous”—harkens back to Drake’s masterpiece, Take Care
>“Weston Road Flows” is another throwback
it reads like a review of the hype and build up to the album rather than the music itself. Theres more interview quotes than lyric quotes
>>64520660
ayyy
HES REALLY THE 6 GOD
>>64517339
Always subtract 2 points from hip hop scores.
>>64516904
still 1.8 points high
>>64517346
Keep the Family Close?
Hype?
Fire and Desire?
Childs Play?
You trolling? Album was GOAT
>>64520660
I'm so fucking upset. I really wanted to like the album and was waiting on a positive Pitchfork review to get me there. Then this fucking shit happens. Thank God I have TLOP to keep me going.
>P-Pitchfork never gives black artists bad scores, guys!
>gives a bad score to the biggest black artist in the fucking world right now
get fucked /pol/tards
>>64522283
reckon he actually sat up there?
>>64520660
LOL
>>64516904
>pitchfork
>beyonce
>drake
>in the same post
kill yourself op
>>64522517
if you don't see their obvious agenda, you're fucking retarded.
Lol came here looking for some Drake threads and realize everyone on this board is a fucking faggot! And I came here from /fit/! That's really hard to do!
Views was good
Views > NWTS, Take Care, IYRTITL
>>64522594
im from /fit/ also and views was shit brah
go suck on jeff seids cock moar u faggot
>>64522586
what is their 'agenda' and what does it practically do for them? blacks are a tiny minority of the population, it seems retarded from a business standpoint to pander to them
i like pitchfork and check it out every week or so but i'm still mad that they gave that awful beach house album an 8.4
>>64522608
they're not pandering to blacks. it's for white kids who wanna pander to blacks
hip hop makes money from mainly white people. p4k is cashing in on that since indie fans never pay anymore.
Top 5, Top 5, Top 5:
Feel No Ways
Still Here
Controlla
One Dance
Childs Play
>>64522607
Vegan Gains pls go
>>64522628
>hip hop makes money from mainly white people
you can't seriously believe this
>>64522775
But that's literally true you retard
You think a multimillion industry popped up with only 14% of the population?
>>64516904
6.8 is far too generous for this album, nevertheless, i was sure p4k was going to continue their form of hip hop can do no wrong and give it a 9 or something
>>64522608
it shows how open-minded and progressive they are, instead of conceited hipster faggots, which is their reputation. it is 100% for their image. they blatantly rate hip-hop/r&b albums with bias anymore. anything that is made by white male(s) is immediately fighting from a disadvantage for a good rating.
i don't even hate p4k but they know their crowd; liberals. (i could give a fuck about politics as well.)
>>64517354
take care is by no means a masterpiece. there are some unbelievably shit songs on it.
>>64522567
of course not, i wish someone would do some scale analysis and see how tall drake is according to this image. i think hes about 7 feet tall, it looks absolutely ridiculous
>>64520660
UPSIDE DOWN ITS A 9 NOW
>>64520660
>He knew
Pitchfork is so predictable, I hate reviewers like them.
>>64522925
HOW CAN HE COME UP WITH A LINE LIKE THAT??????
VIEWS IS LITERALLY THE NEW ILLMATIC OMG
There is no universe where this deserved a worse score than IYRTITL
>>64516904 (OP)
>Turn the 6.9 upside down it's a 9.8 now
People expected IYRTITL 2, they got something sonically fresh and different. This album is probably his best and will be recognized as a pop classic in a few years. Some lyrics are weak, I must admit it, but there's something sincere in this weakness.
I'm also waiting for that Kanye/Drake mixtape. It's coming out this mouth, apparently.
>>64522817
>14% of the population?
lmao you are so uneducated
>>64517245
Kanye fanboys are so hostile
>>64523613
black people literally make up 14% of the population. he's right, dumbass.
>>64516904
am i the only one who actually likes this album
like its a solid 7
>>64523129
IYRTITL is a great album with interesting, sparse production and clever lines. This is just NWTS with a few dancehall tracks.
>>64523148
>they got something sonically fresh and different
How is it that different to all his albums before If Youre Reading This?
I have never heard a single Drake song before. I had seen the Cellphone music video dozens of times on the internet (without sound), and I though the video, while weird and abstract, might be worth watching for the music as well.
As soon as I heard the song I regretted it, WHY does Drank sing with such a gutteral gravel sound? Before I heard the song I was expecting a smooth R&B voice, and I was sorely disappointed.
>>64523148
>It's coming out this month, apparently.
what
>>64522914
IIRC he's ~12ft in that cover.
>>64523677
they make up 30%
>>64516999
They would've given it a higher rating if he wasn't a dirty half-blood
pan of the year
>>64522628
>>64522862
you /pol/ idiots are seriously retarded.
the reason that you see more hip hop and black artists getting praised on p4k in recent years is because they started hiring more black people. there's no conspiracy.
>not giving it a 6.6
can you even fucking imagine the memes. they were literally .2 off what difference does it make. they fucking didnt do it on purpose
>>64523712
IYRTITL is Drake at his most obnoxious. The trappy production on there was executed like shit.
"NWTS with dancehall tracks" is a good thing.
>>64524037
>>64523712
Also
>listening to Drake for the lyrics
You're kidding, right?
>>64517198
it was poptimist trash
They only gave him this score because he's half white
