Speaking of Pitchfork, HEY NR:
Pitchfork gave the new Ferg album a surprisingly good review, and basically said "Severian is wrong, it's good, shut up Severian." So I'll keep listening, and see if I can't see the error of my ways.
They also refer to Ferg as the "artsier" and "more overbearing" Kanye to A$AP Rocky's Jay-Z, which somehow completely baffles me. Not only do I think Ferg is actually a bit more traditional than Rocky (more of a technician, less of a dreary dreamer, more of a rapper, less of a rockstar and fashion icon) but I think the comparison in general is kind f whack. I'd compare them to Q-Tip and Phife or Ghostface and Rae before comparing them to "The Throne" (that's how Drake credits them on that song I haven't heard yet because louder said it was so shitty, and because it has that awful "Chaining Tatum" line... Ugh!).
Anyway. These are my thoughts for the day so far.
