They cover the pop rap to try and show that they're diverse or as if they're saying that they don't only like "white people music". <br /><br />If they actually cared about rap music, they'd be looking into the underground stuff, the independent stuff instead of taking a lazy cursory glance at the scene. <br /><br />I appreciate their opinions on indie rock, folk, noise, dance-punk, etc, because they do look into the stuff that wouldn't be played on mainstream radio. It just has never translated into their coverage of rap and hip hop.<br /><br />Again, don't want this to read like just another "Pitchfork and their readers suck" diatribe because I'll be the last to make one, but I find their coverage of rap specifically to flawed at best and disingenuous at worst.<br /><br />(Of course, the whole idea of ranking the top 500 of anything is silly to me. I'd honestly prefer a top 10 with a nice hefty writeup for each pick.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307566844751295402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-63045242677286946402009-08-21T14:36:24.964-04:002009-08-21T14:36:24.964-04:00I don't get it...how is that a cop out pick?
