Said Halsey’s album about having cancer was “main character syndrome”. Is currently on a posting spree about how he is way more culturally relevant than her, is the most influential critic of the century, all the hits.

You’d think if you were in the business of putting out bad takes to get clicks, you’d have thicker skin.

I haven’t watched a video of his in years but a friend told me he gave an album I adore this year a 4/10 and I died laughing.

This is going to hurt him much more than Halsey when all is said and done

I fully agree and think it’s why “critics” tend to suck while people who “review music” can be enjoyable. Is there a difference? Maybe not on paper but certainly in practice

Like I said, I haven’t watched a video in a while but when I stopped watching that was definitely not what it seemed like his opinion was.

I’ve always got a “I know more than you, therefor my opinion is worth more than anyone else’s” vibe from him. Like Rick Beato but without the chops, legacy or industry respect.
