    1)- Fantano himself and the Pitchfork critic that wrote the review of "Barter 6" are off the top of my head the best examples I can give you, but there is more and I can link you. While Anthony didn't give to the record a "decent" score you could see he was trying to hold a lot of his thoughts on that review.

    2)- What the f---? I use "idiot folks" for every person that use the same argument.

    3)- First of all there is a difference between being "Racist" and "Xenophobic" but I was not attempting any kind of offense with my comment. I live in a Third World country, sure, but I am a regular middle class kid that got everything I need, I don't live in horrible conditions like the poor people on Sierra Leona and I got great education. There is nothing about race in my comment.

    i know, you already said you're a logic fan.

    okay though, let's talk about meaghan garvey's review at pitchfork. here's a link: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20529-barter-6/

    can you explain to me where meaghan is insincere in an effort to pander to black audiences?

    You're using culture vulture wrong

    A record label CEO getting rich off Bobby Schmurda is being a culture vulture

    White people broadening their horizons isn't

    This is the type of unbiased s--- that I can't stand

    In Spanish it's Sierra Leona so I confused both names

    you...don't like unbiased criticism?

    even if you meant "biased"--how is it biased? it's meaghan explaining (rightly) that barter 6 is a master class in rapping, in developing and perfecting unconventional flows and cadences, in meshing ad-libs in with writing, and on and on. she's reporting what happens on the record. THIS is the kind of pandering criticism you're talking about? she killed that review.

    She is overrating minimal things using a unnecessary detailed description to justify the high note, I don't agree at all, I never see other rapper even of the same sub-genre where the people were considering so much those type of things

    But for you she "killed that review" so I don't know what to say

    Ok I really am bugged by you calling that biased

    She pointed out he switches flows, and doesn't try to be too artsy or too generic., but in a wordy way. How is that bad wtf

    Impress? Who was talking about impressing somebody?

    Holy f---, I don't know if I am logged in 2 different devices or something but you guys are misunderstanding everything I am saying.

    This is the type of s--- of why I am mad with Fantano. You can agree with this comment or not but the guy is not even trying to have a proper conversation at all.

    how bout that you're a 15 year old Argentinian kid who doesn't know all there is to know about everything yet?

    and that people who are more intelligent, more experienced, more knowledgable about more things, are trying to help you broaden your nauseatingly narrow POV?

    or naw, everyone just h8s u and argentina amirite?

    And your problem is that you care more about how Fantano's reacting, rather than how incredibly WRONG JMa's initial post is

    It's not inconsistent to emphasize different aspects of different projects.

    and if you're one of the 125 idiots that liked JMa's post, that's probably where we should start

    No, I'm telling you for the 500th time that EVERY poster (BigCountry, WPG, Peter Parker etc) that has genuinely tried talk some sense into you on this forum is 10000% right and you're not. It's THAT simple.

    You're 15. You don't live in the States. Even if you did, it wouldnt mean anything as far being well versed about hip hop goes.

    To varying levels, EVERYONE that's told you're wrong about something is coming from a more knowledgable point of view. But you seem to have a god complex at 15 years old lmao

    This is nauseating man. Like, it actually makes me sick that you could discredit how incredibly well written and beautifully articulated Meghan's review is.

    What is she overrating? The flow? The delivery? The bridge on "Halftime?"


    Even when presented with the piece you're supposedly critiquing, you cant even be specific. Do you see how that's just NOT the right way to convince someone you're right?

    Like, WPG linked you the entire piece, and FIRST thing you do is quote an ENITRE paragraph and dismiss it with broad strokes

    BE MORE SPECIFIC.

    My South American Internet only allows me to access a 10% of the Hip Hop material avaliable on the web, sorry

    Seems like I would need to wait 3 years more to have an argument right...

    *sigh* I'm out man, I don't need to discuss more.

    So you are implying that you know everything there is to know, and have the entire genre in context, at 15? because you have internet?

    wow.

    do you see how much of a f---ing annoying c---- you are yet?

    @Young Sinatra

    is a rap album not about, you know, the rap songs? the rapping? the rapping on a rap album seems like a fair arena for praise
