Since they were the leading publications on music, which has been for awhile. Even strictly Hip Hop magazines don't have much good hip hop to give press to, in their world. But i know such a rugged individualist as yourself won't care a lick about them either.

Look at hip-hop now as opposed to say; 2008?
It's in a much better shape now, it doesn't matter to me about album of the year lists or any of that pretentious sh/t.
It's about music I like. And I like 2012 hip-hop.

2008 was when Wayne was still pretty good, so the mainstream still had that hope. I think we've just numbed our expectations since the mainstream had its recession or whatever. Now when something alright comes along that's slightly different, we say, wowzers.
