    Extrapolating this train of thought further—

    A 6/10 is mathematically also the same as a 60/100, or 60%. i.e., the lowest possible passing grade: D-

    A 3/10 is just a 30%: which is close to what you get when writing your name correctly on the exam and circling in random answers into the scantron. There’s enough redeeming songs as to where C6 isn’t that. It could be argued down to a 5. Maybe even a 4 if you’re really trying to pick it apart and believe that 10s don’t exist. But giving anything a 30% seems overtly critical imo.

    I think people who give 1 to 10 scores are of two minds, there's people like you who use it like the school grading system, and others who go by the metric of not a pass or fail system but 1/2: Terrible, 3/4: bad to ehh, 5/6: okay/fine, 7/8: good/great, 9/10: amazing/perfect.

    It seems like ring rust applies to music too. Wayne used to drop music at an insane pace but on Carter 6 his inactivity shows. He just doesn't have the same ability to make great songs anymore.

    At least C6 is intellectually insulting in a funny way

    I get why people correlate media ratings to grades cuz it's an easy point of ref most people have but it's never really made sense to me. Grades in school are a literal percentage that correlates to how many questions you got correct and/or how well you followed the assignment and/or how well you applied whatever you're learning in the class. To me a letter grade is an entirely different thing, like I've never viewed a rating out of 10 for media as a 1:1 comparison for that cuz a piece of media isn't trying to pass a class, there's no rigid guidelines with regard to what it has to be to be good. It makes anything below a 6 to be the same and then what's even the point of having those ratings? That's part of why i like a 5 star rating cuz it distances it from letter grades + the notion that a 6/10 is bad cuz a 3/5 "looks" better. Its funny how arbitrary this stuff is but how many diff views people have on it lol

    also for the record im not someone who thinks an album needs to be perfect to be a 10, cuz there's no such thing as a perfect piece of art, everything has flaws even if they're minor. I think critics should be slightly more generous with handing out 10s (but not overly so)

    Big agree with all of this, some of my favorites albums, movies etc have flaws but that doesn't stop them from being 10s in the slightest.

    Isn’t this the difference between an album being a 10 to you versus being a critical 10 (attempting to grade it based on a more unbiased performance)? Maybe there’s 2 categories of grading scales.

    You can definitely do two scores cause there's s--- I don't personally like but can recognize its well made for its intention. But every score or rating is subjective so I don't put much energy into acknowledging the "critical" aspect unless it's apparent how high quality something is aside from my personal bias.

    I was talking about either/or but more specifically critically I guess. looking for a perfect piece of art is a fool's errand, like I definitely think people should be thoughtful and somewhat reserved about giving out perfect scores but I don't think they need to be once a decade rarities like p4k either

    Prob an unpopular opinion but I genuinely like peanuts to an elephant over most songs on the album and I say this as someone who absolutely hates Lin Manuel Miranda, it's one of the few songs with production that's interesting in any way but I get why it's not everyone's speed. Not the first time weezy's rapped over animal noises either.
