Kanye West Drags Pitchfork For Giving ‘Pablo’ A 9/10 In Huge Twitter Rant

Either someone’s accidentally reminded Kanye West that Twitter is a good way to reach millions of people without having your thoughts filtered through a media editor, or his PR manager has been asleep for the past week. Because Yeezy has well and truly taken the handbrake off, and is releasing every little thought that crosses his head unto the world, 140 characters at a time.

Following on from that last little burst which saw him casually… y’know… firmly and publicly declare his belief that Bill Cosby is innocent (fucking yikes) Ye was back at it again today, Tweeting consistently over a five hour period on a raft of different thought fragments.
First came the musings on rich-person culture, his claims that he is in hella debt, and his reaching out to other rich people to essentially just hand over money to him.


TBH, Yeezy you don’t really confuse us that often. It’s just that maybe the family can go with furs for a quarter or two, y’know?

From there, Kanye slipped back into the classic Kanye god delusions that he’s become renowned for.


Credit where it’s due, “the self-proclaimed cockiest person in the world” is a perfect sentence.

And, after all, he’s just giving the public what they wanted.


And then Pitchfork dropped their review of The Life of Pablo, which featured a solid score of 9.0 and was labelled under the “Best New Music” moniker. In the eyes of Yeezy, however, this was an unacceptably low score.


Which lead to some a moment of clarity, in which Kanye raised some seriously excellent points about the culture divide between white and black people, and the way the white-back music industry treats black artists.


At this point he apparently switched off the Grammy‘s livestream and briefly turned his attentions over to a replay of the NBA All-Star Game.


Before coming back around to Pablo, which he summarily declared to be criticism-proof.

And finally, after literal hours of online banter, Kanye dropped a little nugget of information that’s bound to have everyone salivating.


The TL;DR version of all this is as follows:

  • He’s rich, but he’s poor.
  • There’s new music coming.
  • Pablo is a masterpiece.
  • Please subscribe to Tidal. Please.
Alright then?

Honestly, monitoring his announcements is a bloody full-time job just by itself.
