pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.)

haha--i want to read now what did u give a 3 to?

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/11149-lark-on-my-go-kart/

No lie: The beat on Lark On My Go-Kart is the only reason the Asher album got a #1.5 instead of a #1 from me.

fucking loved that review xp

nice louis logic ref

asher roth is not the basement?

OK I'm taking a gander at their "Best New Singles" list and I think it's great that they have singles reviews again, and it's also great that they let you download/stream the song so you can hear it for yourself, but man these songs are all SO ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AWFUL!! This "Hang around baby baby we'll bake a cake for you" song is right up there with "Do the Helen Keller" on my worst songs of the year list, and they give it a nine out of ten!! I do like the Kobe Bryant rap song, though.

mr. snrub being a fan of the lil wayne kobe bryant rap is yet another twist in the mythology of this oddly dull character

that said i agree abt the vooodoo city song, if i may challops shit is totally bland indie-bait

asher roth is not the basement?

just imagine

actually real talk i think its more bland than offensive so yeah a 3 was fair

Yeah Asher is more lame than unlistenable

Asher's pretty awful, guys. I'd put him right up there with Crazy Town and Kottonmouth Kings and Bad Ronald for rap-related douchebaggery

crazy town 'butterfly' >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.....asher roth!!

if i was w pfork when it dropped, i would give butterfly an '8'

i watched that attack attack video tonight and that's a hell of a lot closer to the basement than asher

i would even put brokencyde above asher.

pretty much the only rap things worse than Asher is like MC Lars or Totally Michael

i would DEF put "attack attack" over asher

would much rather watch attack attack than asher. maybe its kind of car wreck-y, but its at least engaging

i would even put mickey avalon over asher probably

shd i try to review attack attack??

YES

might be too much like an internet meme review ...

was at to post:

i think all the attack attack baiting is trying to force a meme. It's just boring metalcore with a dumb dance bridge

guys i've been thinking abt it and can't find the silver lining on attack attack. it's too emo to be campy, even the trance breakdown.

whiney it felt worse than that, what can i say

no i genuinely like watching attack attack. its a pretty weird frankenstein monster of a song. if i actually reviewed metal & went thru a 'popism' phase instead of reviewing rap having gone thru a 'popism' phase i might go for it

feel much more adept @ reviewing crazytown

its a pretty weird frankenstein monster of a song

in all seriousness i admire your positive spin on "these guys are so lazy and awful they can't be bothered/don't know how to write a fucking transition between two parts."

no reason they should have to per se

I am feeling Attack Attack's adderalle'd 'fuck a transition' spin...

'adderall'

mc chris is worth than asher

woulda thoughtby now you guys woulda maybe downgraded from asher alert code red to at least code orange after his first week numbers came in and his 2nd single flopped -- i mean i think we can chill now and dedicate our energies to hating on other 'xxl freshmen' that still have career prospects

i have my scope on ace hood

i like ace hood

i thought AH had promise when that first single dropped but album was real boring and he'd just, like, bite a jeezy flow really transparently for an entire song, and his new singles are crap. better than most bloggo thundercat rappers still, but that ain't sayin much.

i genuinely like drake as a guy whose not great at singing or rapping but has a good enough pop mind to make songs that can occasionally be great - his shit is pretty sonically interesting too and his lloyd/my mans trey collabos are much better than his wayne and jeezy ones

drake seems OK -- it's funny how he seems to have real diehard stans moreso than any other of these new rappers who really think he's the god mc and act like he must've ghostwritten every good wayne verse

yeah it really is weird because "best i ever had" definitely strikes me as a song that your average dude would warm up to because his chick digs it. his rapping is so mediocre too which makes it even more puzzling. loving drake just became this thing out of nowhere from actual rappers, to biz people to blog people on down just out of nowhere, but i guess i'm happy there's one of those dudes that doesn't make me lurch constantly

it came out of nowhere, and like i said, it really came out of nowhere

tbh i don't trust any opinions/endorsements from 'actual rappers' -- usually the only sincere things they say about other rappers are deluded 'i'm better than method man' type shit

you say that all the time and i think you're completely otm but i think with drake it seemed a bit more genuine but maybs im being swindled

was about to refer to nah right as drakestan central but this is pretty funny:

Not to judge drake to heavily… but in “best i ever had”

Know you got a roommate
Call me when its no one there
Put the key under the mat
And you know I’ll be over there
(Yup) I’ll be over there
Shawty, I’ll be over there
I’ll be hitting all the spots that u ain’t even know was there

really? you couldn’t think of a word that rhymes with “THERE?”

hahaha

he has a dope line in that song - "double cup love, you're the one i lean on"

almost makes up for "lesbiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanest"

And you know I’ll be over there
(Yup) I’ll be over there
Shawty, I’ll be over there

i mean, tbf, that's not there for rhyming purposes, and i like it because it slyly changes the meaning of 'there' from 'your house' to 'your pussy.'

fucking dying over here

theres a new drakestan central
