I remember this well. That sparked quite a debate about welcoming new members vs. burying good threads n junk. That was fun.

This is physically impossible. I believe the rest though.

Roc Marciano doesn't need your praise. He'll continue to go about his day regardless. This is a man who treats Lamborghinis like bumper cars. He lights the chronic with the flame from a comet. He pisses on the city from his skyscraper. He's got a Rolls Royce driver named Coleman. His jewellery is handmade. His tears are champagne. He rolls doobies in his jacuzzi (after movies). And he does it all in a hushed voice with an immaculate flow over haunting, drum-starved beats that immediately place you into Roc's world - a world where mobsters who rock alligator shoes live just blocks from the streets they grew up hustling on. Anybody who says he's just a '90s throwback/Mobb Deep rip-off is missing the point. This is a man who treats his art like art should be treated. There's not a line out of place, not a beat that doesn't completely suit his entire aesthetic. He is the single most captivating rapper alive right now. He watches the city while he's fucking. He's such a glutton.

What is it with BEA? Is it really that good of a site? Why is it ranked #1 on the all-time sites list? Is it because Pitchfork gave it a 10.1? It's pretentious and conservative. So overrated. People meed to sotp following hype and Pitchfork.

How about I just start all these threads:

What is it with The Beach Boys?
What is it with The Strokes?
What is it with Oasis?
What is it with Nirvana?
What is it with Wilco?
What is it with Merriweather Post Pavillion?
What is it with A Rush of Blood to the Head?
What is it with Boxer?
What is it with Pink Floyd?
What is it with Bon Iver’s second album?
What is it with Blur?
What is it with Trout Mask Replica?
What is it with In the Court of the Crimson King?

More like, what is it with suddenly going ga-ga with a number rating from a magazine and why should that automatically be an indicator to either over-hype an album or immediately dislike it just because it becomes highly regarded?

The thing is the only argument I have is that I personally don't care for these albums/bands, but a lot of people do and why should I just try to start a whole topic simply calling them "overrated"? That's the beauty of art: we all interpret something different and we can all agree to disagree about what can be considered a "masterpiece" in each particular field. And it seems like these threads aren't really interested in having a discussion about the actual work these musicians have done but about why or why not should these bands have any praise or artistic merit given to them, which never gets us anywhere. It just seems like an endless circle that just pushes us back intellectually and brews needless animosity towards each other...

I understand the hate for [insert band here] - whilst I admit [obvious fault] they are the most [unimaginative praise] of the [music genre] movement.

You have to appreciate that.

What is it about Roc Marciano? I just don't understand why he's so loved by lethalnezzle. He's overrated. How is Reloaded at 86 on our 2012 chart?

What is it about [insert band name here]? I just don't understand why they're so loved/hate (delete as applicable) by fans/journalists/this site's users/everybody. They're overrated/underrated. They're too conservative/weird. How is [insert album title here] at [insert # here] on our overall/year-specific chart? It's not as though music is subjective. This definitely needed its' own thread.
