>Tonight's Top Stories
-This thread stands with Kesha eternally
-I suck at updating the top stories
-This thread hypes and supports DIIV, BadBadNotGood, the Julie Ruin, Wreck and Reference, and Frank Ocean.
-/p4k/ forever
whats even coming out this week and soon after? is it that time of the year for a BNM drought?
Daily reminder that Kendrick was robbed
>>66319192
Clams Casino, Gucci Mane and Nao are coming out in the next few weeks and they all got BNTs so maybe them idk
DEAR TOMMY WHEN
>New 10 when?
>New kanye album when?
>>66319192
Arca mixtape review maybe?
>>66319890
pitchfork will never give out another 10 ever
>>66318795
This thread stands with Michael Gira, Freddie Gibbs, Afrika Bambaataa, Heathcliff Berru, Leslie Rasmussen, Gustavo Guerra & Dr. Luke -- and rejects the rape culture hysteria of Meagan Garvey, Amber Coffman, Bethany Cosentino, Larkin Grimm, Ke$ha, et al.
>obligatory "What's everyone listening to?" post.
How many more fucking 8.5s are they gonna give out this year?
>>66320397
FYI 9 of the 29 BNMs this year have been 8.5s
>>66320233
pic related
>>66320397
they have about ~30 more BNMs to handout, so around 18, 19.
8.6 is my favorite BNM score, but you rarely see that one
is it because it doesn't look that good, typographically speaking? or doesn't sound as good when said aloud, aesthetically, in the rhythm and music of the syllables? Ayt poynt sicks.
>>66320549
I think 8.7 is my favorite, its such a cock tease, because you know 8.8 is what you wanted
>>66320018
bullshit, when Kendrick or Frank release some monster project that causes every other publication to jizz, they'll do it
Or maybe they'll try a Source Tages & Codes again
>>66320439
this album is gr8 but imo most of the remixes >>>>

what current artists have that same massive amount of critical and commercial influence, or that potential, like Radiohead at the turn of the century or Kanye six years ago? generation defining acts.
Kendrick is the only one I can think of. maybe Taylor Swift on the commercial side if she can find some really innovative sound (doubtful). Beyonce is likely spent after s/t and Lemonade imo to produce another "Important" album
>>66321025
someone said this in another thread but if tpab couldn't get a 10 then i really don't know what can. maybe kendrick's next album, but i dunno...
>>66320549
8.9 is also rare, but has a lot of personality to it. Probably my favorite. 9.3 obviously overstayed it's welcome last year but I still have a soft spot for it
>>66321179
>>66320549
have there been many 9.4s? i can only think of ys off the top of my head.
>>66321025
Agreed on Beyoncé, but I thought the same thing after s/t. She didn't top it imo, but I didn't think she would stay so consistent
In a few years we could see a Joanna Newsom 10.0 (or even a Fiona Apple) but who knows how much longer P4k will even stay relevant
>having favorite numbers
Literally the most autistic thing imaginable
>>66321217
I dunno, I love both of those musicians but I think they might have hit peak relevance. Maybe Joanna disappear and then come back full avant Scott Walker style and get a 10 or something - but like you said, P4K will prob be a bit of a non-entity by that time.
Honestly I'm surprised they haven't embraced Holter a bit more. IMO they've lowballed every one of her releases esp LCS.
>>66321025
>Beyonce is likely spent after s/t and Lemonade imo to produce another "Important" album
if she really wanted it, i'm sure she could lock herself away with a guitar and a piano and get to writing--oh wait. nm.

BADBADNOTGOOD bnm incoming

Róisín Murphy 7.8 by Benjamin Scheim
AraabMuzik 6.1 by Kathy Iandoli
GOGGS 7.4 by Zoe Camp
Roy Wood$ 6.0 by Jay Balfour
Not saying Miseducation of Lauryn Hill should get a 10, but the amount of older albums they review in reissues that get a 10 makes her not getting a 10 pretty funny.
>>66321548
ia, prob should have gotten a ten just for cultural influence really. do u think her recent controversies may have hampered the score?
>>66321548
they don't really seem interested in handing out 10s for the Sunday classic
Only Hounds of Love got one
>>66321211
Black Messiah
