      This dude is too honest and intellectually deep for Pitchfork which seems to me often does seek the acceptance of mass tastes or industry giants and sacred cows in order to stay profitable or even to make more money. But lets not even suggest the idea of him going to Rolling Stone which lately is just plain idiotic and demagogic as their 500 best albums ever list showed. Even Fantano´s review of this same album to me seemed rather shallow when compared to this review which went as deep and global as showing us how this kind of corporate musical bullshit shows defects of capitalism itself as a socio-economic system in the way it squanders talent and resources for the whims of a few super rich idiots. His mention of the Jeff Bezos stupid antics trying to go to space was really interesting. It even got me thinking that society should perhaps think of a system of resource or profit redistribution for artists who actually do care to make good art or music and do actually deliver that and so we could take some of what jerks like Drake are able to count on and actually give to those real artists in order for them to deliver us more masterpieces to beautify our lives as well as for them to actually be able to earn a decent living and be more financially secure.

    Okay, wow. WOW. I watched the Donda review first, and while watching it I was wondering why you kept using pronouns instead of saying Kanye's name before the static came in. And oh my God, it is crazy how one script can fit for two albums so seamlessly. I'm also not into either Kanye or Drake, I can't stand either of them as people, but I find the feud interesting because, you're right, Kanye and Drake really ARE two sides of the same coin, even with their different musical styles. So I'm just munching my popcorn as the craziness goes down without even giving either album the time of day. I'll be waiting to tune into Spotify if Pusha T puts out a surprise album to cockblock Drake on the Billboard Charts at least a little. I know it won't happen, but I'm still wishing it since Pusha is the only rapper involved in that beef that I respect.

    You know, at least the album cover relates to the album itself in one thing: the fact that it's cheap and lazily produced. (In case you don't get it, the album cover was "created" by infamous artist Damien Hurst. Hurst is someone that's infamous for doing rather basic shit for art and having it sell for millions upon millions of dollars, to the point of almost being a billionaire himself for his shit! Basically, Hurst scammed Drake's rich, stupid ass with that album cover of his. At least with Donda's completely black album cover, you can act like it's reflecting how Kanye West feels without his mother being around in his life anymore.)

    The thing is, this would work, but you didn't review anything here, because if you actually tried to do that this could not work at all, since the albums are so extremely different under almost every point.
    Plus there are clear errors since CLB has a lot more disses and diss tracks than Donda but you wrote as if they were both full of them.
    You just talked about stuff that is around the albums, how rich they are and about how great they used to be for 3/4 of the "review", this could work with so many albums, not only this two.
    Well I guess at the start you said that you didn't want to do the review and, well, you didn't.
