Whereas Reynolds would usually dismiss Rap's labyrinthine complex stories of life in AmeriKKKa as "some same old shit about bling and hoes" he tolerates for the thrill of the Mantronix/Bomb Squad/Dr. Dre/Timbaland/Mannie Fresh/Neptunes/Lil' Jon/DJ Mustard production backing it, his Life Of Pablo review finally makes it explicitly clear that he's always viewed the black voices in rap music as an undesirable sub-human nuisance he'd hate to share airspace with, let alone swap bodies with on some Castor Troy shit:
Moral of this story? As far as ex-Melody Maker scribes called Simon go, even Pricey has less #problematic views about ethnic minorities than Grimey Simey™.

Uh oh.
Really can't believe that quote comes from an album review in The Wire and not a Britain First post on Facebook.
Two years ago Simon asked if Schoolboy Q naming a song after "Hoover Street" had anything to do with the 'Hoover Bass' from 90s techno records.
Mind you he's living outside of Los Angeles if memory serves right, so that says it all.
reynolds shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion until after he's stood in a room full of ppl all shouting I JUST BLEACHED MY ASSHOLE
can't believe he literally wrote "these people" twice and not one editor was like say bruv
This dude always struck me as a Clapton and Ive only read a handful of his shit.
Also just dawned on me Pastor Troy is a takeoff of teh gawd Castor Troy
man im slow as shit thats took me lets say ten years plus at least
Also feel like theres a massive undercurrent of racism or at the v least classism in half this current #wave of skin deep woke music journalists
Reynolds just more old school overt like yr granda who hasnt learned any of the language wary slight of hand yet
White ppl, the cheek that has you calling their student newspaper The Gospel of Hip Hop or w e the sources slogan was, 1988- prsent
Does Reynolds follow any ethnic ppl on Twitter?
Joe Muggs sneak edited the review when Derek was busy
If Muggs edited that review, it was to throw Reynolds under the bus.
The Muggs/Reynolds Nemesis relationship is almost Soderbergian enough to make that last comment perfectly fair.
You still read magazines? yall some bitches.
