It's just that Pitchfork is not a reliable source of info anymore.

>>74409218
where's a better place to find accurate reviews? I'm mostly into folk, pop-folk, and technopop.

>>74409176
>but I noticed a trend of them giving "Best New Album" awards almost exclusively to black rappers.
this isn't true retard

fuck off to /pol/

>>74409176
Pitchfork has had a questionable reputation since the mid 00s sorry to break it to you.

Anyone who solely relied on just one publication is dumb anyway

My guess is that pitchfork now is more oriented to review rap than any other genre, so you should look them if you are into this
Otherwise change site

WOW 3 RAP ALBUMS AND REST IS INDIE SHIT
OMG BLACK PPL T00K OVER

>>74409264
Yep. Pitchfork pushed bland indie rock garbage last decade because that's what got it readers and status. Now they push bland hip-hop garbage because it keeps them relevant to mainstream music culture and still appear as a tastemaker.
Any big publication is necessarily motivated primarily by profits.

WOW GUYS ONE HIP HOP ALBUM DAMN BLACK PPL REALLY T00K OVER
I GUESS IM GOING TO IGNROE THE REST OF THE INDIE SHIT

>>74409246
reviews for music are kinda archaic. besides pirating, nowadays it's so easy to find long/full previews of albums. if you don't care enough to find that then you probably shouldn't listen to the album

>bland indie rock

that's kind of what I'm into unfortunately

>>74409359

also, I never said that this was a bad thing, just that pitchfork obviously doesn't emphasize the type of music I like anymore... you are projecting way too much

>almost exclusively to black rappers

5 rap albums out of 24 is "almost exclusively"?

it's a pretty poor number for the biggest genre in america

>>74409403
to be honest I didn't look at that list, I was just scrolling through all of the reviews until about mid-June and saw 4 out of the last 5 were rap albums

>>74409359
>3 albums
>actually 6
what did you mean by this?

>>74409438

no im just fact checking the bs you sprouted in the op. talk shit get rekt
its still majority shitty ass indie music that they praise.

>>74409455
solange is a black rapper?
nvm racist like yourself think every black person is a rapper i bet.

>>74409488
ok 5 then. Still 2 more than 3

>>74409438
>i didnt actually check i just scrolled for 3 seconds and immediately started talking out of my ass

seems about right

>>74409340
i fucking hate this stuck up and pretentious way of thinking
"you don't deserve music unless you work hard to find it"
being elitist about the way you search for music won't fix your inferiority complex

>>74409509
sampha is r&b
paak is r&b also.

>>74409526
>paak
>r&b
>implying

>>74409372
Really if you know you have specific genre tastes, just filter the RYM charts by genre. Of course you're still getting results from a specific demographic but I can't think of anything better.
>>74409438
I can't even blame that guy for getting mad, people push the cuckfork narrative so hard here so it's probably pretty frustrating to see that all the time if you have obvious evidence to the contrary.

>>74409309
There's 6 albums made by black people in your screenshot, senpai.

hip-hop is extremely popular right now, I felt like last year we had a much more diverse set of high-quality releases.

Yes, OP, P4K inflates black scores to an embarrassing degree, to the point they are a complete joke now and I disregard any black artist they write about
