Super Freaky Girl is one of Nicki Minajs best songs and also one of the best songs of 2022. Love the sampling on it.

I find the "Hound Dog" sample in Doja Cat's "Vegas" to be too repetitive (similarly to "RITMO" by the Black Eyed Peas), and it makes me enjoy the song far less than I would have without that sample.

I agree here, I don’t hate it and think it’s ok but it’s my least favorite of the 6 Doja Cat songs that will make the year end this year.

Rihanna is massively overrated. She's not a great musical auteur like Beyonce. I have no idea why people hold their breath waiting for her to drop. Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder.

I enjoy Unholy a lot, and is already one of my favorites from Sam Smith.

Hold Me Closer > Cold Heart I was very anti HMC at first, but it's grown on me. The piano outro at the end kinda seals the deal, I noticed Elton also inspired LNX to do a piano outro at the end of his new song Star Walkin, after giving another one of his songs the same treatment last year. If pretty piano outros is a new trend I'm 100% here for it

I prefer Beyonce's music circa 2003-2011 to 2013- present. Not that she hasn't had some absolute gems since- I did enjoy my first listen of Renaissance- but the hyperbole in some of the album reviews sets up such high expectations, and it turns me off a bit. Taylor Swift is also starting to fall in this same category for me as well.

So, I got dragged for this in the discord this afternoon, so I might as well just say it here as well.
I fucking hate Toxic by Britney Spears. That song gets on my nerves so much. One of Britney's absolute worst.

Oh, I have definitely gone through that. I have two younger sisters. It didn't ruin the song for me tho.

One of my least favorite trends in pop music that has persisted for at least a couple years now is when the intro of a song contains the chorus sung through a filter.
It’s such a tacky move, as if producers, songwriters, music execs, etc. are such cowards that they think people won’t listen to a song if the hook doesn’t show up right at the beginning. And if those people really truly think that, they need to go back to the drawing board and come up with something more original, or at least more organic to the song they’re writing.
(As an aside, I should note that the worst recent example of this phenomenon has got to be Hold Me Closer - the original Tiny Dancer is famous for its chorus not occurring until well over 2 minutes into the song, while the rework puts it right there in the intro. Terrible decision, IMO)

I don't know if this is unpopular but Made You Look is terrible and Meghan Trainor's music as a whole does nothing for me.

Music criticism is an endangered art form, and we need more brutally honest critics representing their personal tastes and expertise through writing -- and sites like Stereogum and Pitchfork are important bastions of the medium, even if they sometimes give your faves low scores.

I'd argue that sites giving low scores is fine and should be accepted. The problem with Pitchfork is that they're review writing style is just bad. If you can justify a low rating then you're a good critic, but more often than not, there's a lot of misinterpretation that causes writers to give low scores

I love both songs, but "Rumors" is better than "About Damn Time."
