Cardi B’s remarkable debut places her, without a doubt, in the pantheon of great rappers. It is both brazen and vulnerable, filled with wild amounts of personality, style, and craft.

What about this album is anything more than decent :deadbanana:

I literally only like one of the new songs :deadbanana: I can't believe people are giving her such acclaim

I don't know, I can't say too much about the quality of the album since I haven't listened to the whole thing and I've kind of been living under a rock for the past couple years, but these days Pitchfork is bigger than ever and I feel like the publication might be making more bold statements on music with their scores that they might traditionally have. 

 

It's a lot more exciting to say: "Cardi B, the hot newcomer has BNM!" than, Cardi B released a very good album!" 

 

I like Stereogum more now for music and reddit also I guess.

It's a good thing that reviews matter little in the music industry :fan: I personally hate the concept of prominent reviewers

Yeah I mostly check Stereogum now, I just wish they did more album reviews than 1/2 a week :'(

I definitely think Cardi is benefitting from some trendy positive bias towards her atm, the album is good/cohesive, the flow is good, the features work well, but the lyrics are not "great" in ANY way

I think reviewers can bring attention to an album or artist you might not be aware of and I love finding new artists to listen to. It's also fun to see what others think about artists you like. 

 

And, Stereogum is great. Too bad they can't put out more material.

Am I the only person here who hasn't listened to the album? :rip:

To be fair, the most important thing with lyrics in Cardi’s album is wordplay, and she does that quite well.. plus she really feels like a big star

 

I agrih that because the media is positive towards her, she’s benefiting from it.. but the album is actually quite a nice debut and it delivered everything it needed to deliver for a Cardi album :michael:

ROUND 27!!

It's 1:40 AM EDT..... Welcome to the twenty-seventh round of Let's Spoon 8! 
Last round, in eleventh place, we had to say goodbye to: Guero :cries:

 

Congratulations to this season's TOP TEN!

Alena | alexanderao | Bloomers | Diarrhoea | Fruity

Henry | Legend E | Navyofbadgals | rl231 | shelven

 

Let's get to today's challenge!

 

ROTATING RANKINGS

 

I asked you all to choose a song. The person who chose each song will remain anonymous. Here is the ALPHABETICAL list by song title: 

Africa - Toto

Bad Girls - M.I.A.

Finesse (Remix) - Bruno Mars & Cardi B

High Horse - Kacey Musgraves

I Want It That Way - The Backstreet Boys
Kiss It Better - Rihanna

Look - Red Velvet

Love Me Harder - Ariana Grande & The Weeknd

Love On The Brain - Rihanna

Rather Be - Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne


Now, what do you do? I want each of you to rank these songs from your FAVORITE to LEAST FAVORITE by Private Messaging me a list of all of them. Please make it obvious which side of the list is the "favorite" side and which side is the "least favorite" side. 

You will have until 5 PM ET to send me these rankings. Then, I will figure out the results! Results will begin to be revealed around 5:15-5:30 PM ET (15.5 hours from this post).

This will be a round-by-round elimination challenge based on the songs listed above. In the first round, the song with the MOST least favorite votes will become the first elimination from this challenge. Then, I will go to the list of the person who submitted that song, and eliminate their next lowest ranked song remaining in the challenge. This will continue again and again, until the final round of elimination, where the person who submitted the higher ranked song on the 3rd place contestant's list will win the first spoon of the round.

You can rank your chosen song, but it shouldn't matter in the grand scheme of things. 
_________________________________________________________________________________________

 

THERE ARE 9 SPOONS UP FOR GRABS. 1 PERSON WILL BE ELIMINATED.

Work quickly, have fun, and good luck!
WARNING: Do NOT troll the thread by posting "SPOON" without my permission.

You may be disqualified. Thank you!
