My issue isn't necessarily the politics, but I do think it's suspicious how they throw out great scores for generic, vapid, and shallow pop-rap. The breaking point for me was seeing that they gave that new Future album a 7.8.

2011 was perfect
2012 was fine
2013 and on was iffy
2015+ was the tipping point

Your website is not perfect if you give a 10 to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

In my opinion pitchfork was already hit and miss by 2012, but yes the conde nast acquisition is not going to help.

That's when they posted this hot piece of racist garbage.

No. That was bullshit too. I'm saying that the 7.8 rating was the breaking point. I've never taken their opinion seriously, I've just been using them to know what new albums are coming out. But at this point, I can't take supporting them.

XXX by Danny Brown. Even if you disagree with me, it doesn't matter. MBDTF isn't a fucking 10.

omg were they really complaining about the lack of black people in indie music?

>>71410544
Gee I wonder why, could it be that indie music is gay!

>>71410446
>>71410544
no that article isn't bad she just worded it wrong.
shes talking about how she as an poc enjoys indie music but always feels bit weirded out when shes the only poc at indie shows.

i mean put yourself in her shoes. imagine going to some rap concert and its 99% black and you're the only white person. you would feel uncomfortable also
