Do you guys actually read music reviews? Music (and pretty much every other form of media) is such a highly personal and subjective medium that I often question the merit of review outlets.

I don't read reviews of anything. I'll hit up think pieces or bs editorials every now and then though.

on the daily. reviews matter for a few reasons
1) people like to know what the temperature is
2) finding out about shit i never wouldve checked out on my own
3) and this one is purely from a business point, reviews can provide validation when the market doesn't.

this is just focused on music reviews, but you can pretty much apply these across the board.

w/ music reviews (at least the big publications. P4K i know for sure. thats why people fuck w/ them) while one person writes the review, the actual score/grade is decided upon by committee.
when it's just one person giving that score (PopMatters for example because I know one of their reviewers), i don't take it nearly as seriously.
 
The only reviews I read regularly were Ebert's, and Big Ghostface's for entertainment. Reaction/impressions from friends and the internet (i.e. GAF) are much more important to me.

Only for stuff I haven't heard. Pretty much what DominoKid said.

I don't care at all what friends or fans say though. Like how Danny Brown said he would rather impress critics than fans or whatever. I totally got what he meant.


Christgau and Ebert are/were the best.


I would probably trade my soul to write like Christgau.

I read them to see other people's interpretations and takes on things but I could care less about a score. Kinda like the Needledrop talk in the Kanye thread, I watch his reviews to see his take on stuff but the scoring system is pointless to me. A "10" to me may be a "1" to someone else depending on subject matter or what's going on in my life that I can relate to.
 
^yeah I flat out disagree w/ the way TheNeedleDrop guy judges music, but i enjoy seeing what he has to say.



go back to nashville Miley.
Miley can get implants in her ass too. Seriously that fake ass booty.

Fake asses are about as bad as no ass IMO.

Edit: LOL at this part of the video from pharrell - "I luh dat shit I just don't want no part of it I'm calling the feds im telling you now" http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=TcxEe0ECPvM#t=158s
 
Not particularly taken by this but it's a good chance to post up a link to member Khris P Kream's solo album from last year, Yes.

yo fuck krhris aka octopus Jones.

the first track on yes, casino royale bangs hard as fuck but dude is a dick.
 
I like Danny Brown's features more than his solo work. Yeezus > XXX.
Easily. Danny Brown becomes a whole other beast on features.

30 is one of my favourite songs from him though, but otherwise most of his solo tracks fall below his features in my ranking of songs I like from him.
 
What the hell really? Oh but you're a Cole guy right? Makes sense nvm.

I dunno it was so different then what I was listening to at the time I knew it was fucking dope on first listen but I knew it would take me a couple more listens for me to truly appreciate it. Fantanio's thought's on it in his review were on point for me at least.
