Music Critics, C/D?

Opening p/:

"Trigger warning: If you or someone you love is a fuckboy, do yourself a favor and steer clear of Run the Jewels 2. You will not like what you hear. Here’s a brief, but nearly complete list of people who are exempt, as handed down by El-P and Killer Mike on RTJ2: Malcolm X, UGK (Pimp C posthumously given the Lifetime Achievement Award), MJG, the Weathermen (both the hip-hop and militant factions), Gangsta Boo, Scarface (that's Brad Jordan, Al Pacino's is noticeably absent here), Zack De La Rocha, Biggie, 2Pac, Nas (ca. 1993 and also 2014, as this is being released on his Mass Appeal imprint). That’s really about it.

Otherwise, when El-P sneers, "You want a whore in a white dress/ I want a wife with a thong"...

Are people aspiring to this? This was one of pitchfork's records of the year. It's got this bad. So It's dead.

I was about a hundred feet away when this happened.

And you couldn't spend five seconds to find and throw a rock?

Raccoon didn't go that year.

ian cohen is literally one of the worst, there's no denying that

for many reasons, his reviews actually being pretty low on the power rankings of things that make him lame (& i dont often like his reviews even when i like the albums being reviewed)

tell me more

must i? nuki already posted the vid

don't let my request stop you

music writing is as relevant as its ever been now that almost all music is easily accessible to everyone

katherine where did you see this tumblr complaint? curious.

that might've been a bit strong but there's some complaining about "tumblr-brained" writers on his ask.fm (and probably twitter, but I'm not going to go through a year's worth of that). enough instances that it doesn't seem like a one-off thing

(obviously that sort of statement is red meat to a large chunk of the people who read him -- a fair amount of the questions are things like "How come people like Meredith Graves sit around waiting for a dooche like mark k to doing something doochey to cry about male violence in music when every single day rappers and rnb singers produce more vile content that flood 2dbz? Why do tumblr sjws keep mum when black artists spew nonsense? guilt")

hipster racism! that old hoss. gotta love it. *backflips into lake of fire*

that isn't him, that's one of the people asking questions

oh i know, just a general statement.

If you or someone you love is a fuckboy

ugh i thought ppl were done w/ this shit

Scarface (that's Brad Jordan, Al Pacino's is noticeably absent here)

this is so dumb
