RTJ is one of those groups that is better than either of its components individually

Unrelated melon gave scaring the hoes a light 9. And a 9 track eXquire album produced by solely by Peggy is now my dream collab.

Yeah rtj is great but also there is some real disrespect for both of these musicians absolutely solid body of work. RTJ is good because both of these rappers were already good

sometimes I'll be listening to an album on Spotify and it'll end and the algorithm will put on a song that makes me go, "what is this goofy poo poo it just put on" and nine times out of ten it's RTJ

They had some typical, hilarious Pitchfork quotes in it. Pitchfork is such a pretentious, hipster joke of a review medium that I still pay attention to it just so I can have a laugh at the weird poo poo they say. Who writes "In colloquial parlance" with a straight face? I mean, come on.

This got kind of passed over because of the RTJ talk, but it's really good. Both song and video. Not a huge fan of Tyler, but I respect his talent and this might be one of my favorites of his.

ShowTime posted:I think Pitchfork gave it a 7.1. They had some typical, hilarious Pitchfork quotes in it. Pitchfork has never really rocked with Jpeg so a 7 is very normal from them. As to how they write, I mean its pitchfork. Most of the time I'm not even sure who they are writing for when I would believe I'm one of their main demographics but like they are and have always been an enigma.

Anyone watching Wu-Tang: An American Saga? Last episode of the third & final season is coming next week, so it's a good time to binge! Good entertainment IMO.

Not to mention stuff like them going back into their old reviews and rescoring albums without consulting with the author of the original reviews lol not to mention going back and down ranking their own albums to be less "indie" such as saying that Interpol's Turn on the Bright Lights is now just ok which is so hard trying to rebrand they've gone right around to being stupid again.

Having the staff decide on a score and then assigning a writer to review to that score is also way loving dumber than just having the writer go solely off their own opinion imo.

Pitchfork is now the modern Rolling Stone down to the safe scoring. 8.4s for anything with buzz behind it. 8.0 for any good album that's not trendy. 7.7-7.9 for any album where there's buzz behind it and bad. Automata 10 Pack fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Mar 30, 2023 |

abraham linksys posted:my understanding is that its the opposite of this, the writer writes a review and then the editors assign a score based on the review It’s a bit more complex. The editors come up with a general range (i.e. is it bad, good, pretty good, or great). The writer writes a review based on this general opinion, and then the editorial team puts on a final score with consideration of the written review. There’s some back and forward between the writer and the editors to ensure the writer doesn’t get totally sidelined by a score they aren’t expecting. So it’s a collaboration but ultimately the editorial team has final say. It’s to provide a consistent voice for the publication so people have a frame of understanding for the score, but there is definitely weird side effects.

marhsal mathers lp is a bigoted gross exploitation of white male rage that would never see the light of day today nor should it have ever been released in the first place. gross 9.4
