    uh, no? not in the least. migos were very good, and people loved them because of the couple of singles. migos are still very good, but most people have moved on. stop reaching.

    So what have we learned today, children?

    Making a template off of a singular flow for your entire career = critical darling

    Making a template off of a singular flow for three songs = "lel memelord"-critics

    most critics aren't f---ing with migos anymore. most current rap critics (and more importantly, most editors at outlets with corporate interests) have very little in the way of taste/judgment/vision. lots of them are hypebeasts. but it makes no sense to call the group "critical darlings" when they've been essentially written off and when the majority of publications weren't really engaging with their full-length projects in the first place. you have to pick one side or the other to argue, lol.

    So... Critics don't talk about them therefore they don't like them? I'd imagine a typical critic functions similar to a human being, so following that train of thought (sorry if that's "reaching" still) then they'd still love migos as much as they did, but just not talk about them. That makes them still critical darlings because every critic loves them. You offered up the counterpoint that they're not talked about by critics as if that's the measure of gauging how much critics like something, so I called that behavior out as being hypebeast. Either train of thought is cringe inducing I'm just following those mentalities to their logical endpoints and calling it what it is.

    Well this is a very poor lie, and for the second time this page you've exposed yourself and whatever critics you read as hypebeasts

    man, what? i just said on this page: lots of critics are hypebeasts. i said that. i agree with you. you're not proving a point. you're masturbating. the critics who only write about things when they're hot are terrible at their job and doing a disservice to everyone. that's what i'm saying. you think i disagree with you because you can't read anyone else's post over the sound of you being impressed with yourself.
