how the fuck did Christgau give a rap infused album made by a white man such a good score?

MY NAME IS KIIIIIIIIIID

he gives a ton of albums A- and he's retarded

There used to be a video of a girl in a purple dress stripping to 'Cowboy' that I really liked when I was younger. Alas I googled it and it appears to be gone

Christgau is a wannabe satirist. His critique is just dated cultural commentary from a 60s new yorker, designed to make you perceive him as witty and inteligent. It was never about the music.

Kid Rock is based

How can you not give this an A- or better?

>Then I'ma Kid Rock-it up and down ya' block
>With a bottle of scotch and watch lotsa crotch
>Buy a yacht with a flag sayin' "chillin' the most"
>Then rock that bitch up and down the coast

Christgau gives most hiphop albums these days A-

>>Buy a yacht with a flag sayin' "chillin' the most"

I knew a permastoned dude who wanted a tattoo that said Chillin' the Most, but he was too lazy to ever get it.

Christgau is a terrible reviewer and you should never rely on his scores

Christgau actually has an extremely mature rating system unlike 99.999% of reviewers so he doesn't give scores to keep up appearances. He isn't concerned with preserving a reputation or serving a particular agenda which is why his system is hard for many to swallow. He gives the music the score he believes it deserves. The rest of you should try it some time.

christgau thinks kid rock and skynyrd are satire of redneck machismo or some dumb shit, i have no idea why

>He gives the music the score he believes it deserves
Good for him, but his integrity doesn’t change his shit taste

he rates shit based on image all the time

The worst thing I know about Eminem is the African Americans he chooses to hang with. And at least Dr. Dre serves a commercial function--these ill jockeys are just a two-inch ruler for Marshall Mathers to measure his dick against. In the worst minstrel tradition of ignorant fantasies projected onto a dark-skinned Other, D-12's bum-fuck brutality and dumber-than-Durst humor provide a baseline Eminem can rise above in his sleep, as he promptly does. If you have to hear the backward rapping and "Fight Music," put money back into the community--buy a bootleg. C

Encore [Aftermath, 2004]
Any lingering doubts that puking and diarrhea noises might effectively forestall maturity were allayed by the crinkled noses and pursed lips they've elicited from arbiters of creativity at Billboard and Cokemachine-glow alike. Except to report tediously that he sounds bored and complain ad infinitum that he's obsessed with the love of his life (plus, right, the beats are no good, details later), how else to objectify the cycle of disinterest inevitably inspired by the mainstreaming of 8 Mile? Me, I say good riddance to his rock dreams, so much vainer than his mosh dreams, and note that said noises are hard to listen to, which is a compliment. Funny, catchy, clever, and irreverent past his allotted time, he can't make records this good forever--no one else has. But I also note that the mostly unreviewed three tracks on the bonus disc keep on pushing--"We as Americans" is a high point. That's rare. A

because it was the sickest album of the late 90's, before he became a republican country bumpkin

I like Christgau overall but he's laughably hypocritical regarding metal and rap lyric subject matter.

Maybe this can give you some context.

He's basically a laughable hypocrite in general. I want to make an animated series about him.

Sad thing is Pitchfork only gave it that score because they don’t like his politics

He's a contrarian, that's how
wait, no, I'm thinking of Scruffy

Why should I rate music at all
