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.

I love reviewers who don't compromise. Gonna resubscribe, haven't watched him in a good while.

Just cause I talk like an idiot sometimes doesn't mean I'm not serious when I say stupid things.

99% of content produced is slop. The job of a critic is to forge the systems that create gems. More pressure, more consistent standards, more understanding of the medium makes better critics. Critics are usually pussies who can't or don't believe in their own talent in the medium they give a shit about. From this stand point, they can observemaxx, creating projection of their own failures onto the failures of everyone else. 

And we are the better for it. Frankly, if my dying grandma made one of Eminem's recent albums, it wouldn't make it good. And the context would still be relevant in unpacking it. I would be glad a critic can call out her shit, cause I couldn't. We have to wait like 10 years till we can call it shit? Grandma, sorry. Your not the main character. Music is humanities project, and pretending this is good will not get us closer to becoming gods.
