A year or two I was browsing the Pitchfork "best songs of the 10's" and was rather confused that "This is America" wasn't on it. A long running feud explains it.

But eh, they're allowed to have "bad" opinions. Every critic I've remotely followed has strongly disagreed with me at times.

It's not that they didn't like Childish Gambino (I don't either), but rather that the idea that Pitchfork had long since sold its soul for access was already floating out there in the air years before the Conde buyout.

On the other hand, "If you buy only one hip-hop album this year, I’m guessing it’ll be Camp." is a sick burn.
