    Makes some good points, but clearly Yelawolf is just not an artist that the sort of writers who get published on Pitchfork will like. I've said this before -- there's a bias by the kind of rap tastemakers who fit a certain bill, and they aren't going to have their fantasies for what rap should be get disrupted

    Idk what the uproar is.. like pitchfork or any other "critic" matters to the music YOU like.. f--- them or anyone else, I know it stings sometimes that a "critic" gives a low score, to an album, film, or game you love...but they shouldn't matter, to how YOU FEEL..again, f---'em.

    Wrong, i listen to a big amount of artists and i hate 80% of shady releases (Welcome to our house is the biggest waste of time and one of the most embarrasing/disappointing album i ever eard) and i still enjoy Love Story. 8/10 album IMO

    Yelawolfs music tends to age well, I honestly still come back to his earlier projects at least once a week.That's just my opinion off course.

    I thought the Pitchfork Shady XV review captured it even better:

    Mathers' great talent—his 180-degree ear for how everything can be made to rhyme with everything else, how chains of these rhyming lines can be erected into dizzying towers—has officially devolved into a tic. His verses denature all sense of pronunciation and meter and natural speech rhythm; you could probably read this review as one long Eminem verse.

    ...because he has no other ideas, and nothing further to say, and is painfully aware of it: "There's no more emotion for me to pull from/ Just a bunch of playful songs that I make for fun/ So, to the break of dawn, here I go, recycling the same old song," he says. The frankness of the message is remarkable: We're stuck with him, an aging white man with nothing left to say gripping the biggest bullhorn in hip-hop.
