A disgustingly perfect album...complex, refined, and at the same time melodic...my god, the sax! more

Piero Scaruffi | DeRank™: 10,73

90% of what he writes is superficial, sometimes pure nonsense, purely provocative, and always written with an arrogance and condescension that is disgusting. Nonetheless, in the remaining 10%, he introduces high-level cult music that most people aren't even vaguely aware of. But in any case, he remains an unacceptable character, creator of true monsters (his various "followers" who copy-paste his rankings) and, as a critic, entirely blameworthy in his approach and principles. Evaluating music with high school-esque numbers is pure degradation of this art (despite his claim to provide pseudo-objective ratings based on importance and historical influence). The real issue, more than anything, lies with those who take him too seriously. more

Rick Famuyiwa — Dope | DeRank™: 0,00

There are some contents in this movie that pay homage to the cinema of Spike Lee. The main characters are actually three guys who are high school seniors and are described as geeks. They live in a neighborhood of Inglewood, California, called 'The Bottoms', where crime is frequent and you could easily get in trouble when you're not doing the right thing. One of them, Malcolm, wants to be admitted to Harvard University, and he has qualities, but they seem not to be enough for a black man to go to that university. Involved unwillingly in drug trafficking because of his inexperience, he simultaneously needs to get out of this situation and figure out his admission to Harvard. Produced by Forest Whitaker and premiered at Sundance Film Festival. more

A furious yet refined free jazz, ideal for capturing the decay and paranoia of the African American community: this is The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady. more

Eli Paperboy Reed — My Way Home | DeRank™: 0,00

Eli Paperboy Reed consecrates himself as one of the best retro-soul-blues revivalists with his latest album released via Yep Records on June 10. After parting ways with Warner Brothers due to artistic and promotional disagreements with the label, he returned to an independent one where he has much more room in every possible sense. Possibly also a spiritual experience and a figurative comeback. An album of guitar-driven and bluesy soul in which you can hear echoes of Sam Cooke or Curtis Mayfield. It does include a cover of the traditional masterpiece 'Cut Ya Down.' Reed's voice is powerful and dominates the music, and in some moments, it just explodes! 'The Strangest Thing', the title track, and 'Tomorrow's Not Promised' showcase the incredible vocal quality of this artist who grew up in Mississippi and was immersed in the juke joint culture of the Deep South. more

Hated by those who can’t accept that their favorite groups are questioned. Setting aside a few missteps, he has always been consistent in all his reviews. They should build a monument in his honor simply because his site is one of the largest and most complete music databases out there. Thanks to him, I’ve come to know incredible music that I would have never discovered otherwise. more
