July 2020 Rules Update + Feedback Thread

Posted: 12 Jul 2020 12:05 PM PDT

It's been almost a year since the last Feedback/Update thread. We intend to do these threads more regularly to both receive your input and to provide timely updates to the rules.

We've seen many of your complaints about activity stagnating and we take them seriously. Over the past two months (especially within recent weeks), we've loosened enforcement on rules that require our discretion for enforcement. If people have suggestions on additional specific things that can be done or would like to discuss specific post removals. We are happy to address these. While not prohibited, vague suggestions like "stop removing posts" are not particularly helpful.

Here are some updates we're implementing:

Weekly threads

Moronic Mondays and Rap Buy Weekly have been discontinued. The Daily Discussion does the function of Moronic Monday and most of the comments didn't follow the rules in the first place and Rap Buy Weekly always received very limited engagement and has been replaced by Hype Thursday.

Hype Thursday is moving to Tuesday (and becoming Hype Tuesday) and Throwback Writeup is moving to Thursday to coincide with [THROWBACK THURSDAY].

Thursday, Fridays and Satudays

Song posts on Thursday post either be [THROWBACK THURSDAY], [HYPE], or [FRESH]. This is meant to give increased spotlight to the content coming out on release heavy days and avoid [FRESH] posts getting get drown out by tagless song posts (ex: that Kendrick we've all heard song that happens to have not been posted in a year).

Saturday are dedicated to [FIRST IMPRESSIONS] posts. Tagless song posts are prohibited as well as to promote discussion of a wider range of releases and of songs from releases of the prior day.

Reminder:

  • [HYPE] is for artists that have not gotten 50 upvotes previously on the subreddit
  • [THROWBACK THURSDAY] is for songs older than 10 years. This is meant to be for lesser known songs but there's no explicit rule there

Repost Upvote Threshold

The 30 votes upvote limit has been a rule for a long time, considering the growth of the sub, this has been increased to 45.

Listicles

We have decided to allow listicles if they're not ranking things (generally geared towards discovery – ex:P&P: Best New Artists of the Month (January) and The Best Beat Tapes on Bandcamp: June 2020). Album of the Year lists will remain consolidated in one thread at the end of the year.

Sticking album discussion posts

Album discussion posts feature some of the best discussions on this subreddit! in order to promote these posts, recently we have decided to sticky them for a limited time, in order to allow them to build steam and then unsticky them when they can stand on their own. We also recommend posting 1 yr, 5 yr, 10 yr, etc. later threads. Here's 2019 releases, 2015, 2010, you get the point)

Best of /r/makinghiphop

We are working with the moderators of /r/makinghiphop to make this a continuing thread.

User run threads

Someone suggested a weekly Rumor/Speculation thread with a weekly roundup of what's been going on and a platform for speculation that prior was restricted to the Daily Discussion, they never got back to us but I'm sure there's some KTT-esque user that follows the minutiae of all that stuff. If anybody is interested, express interest in this thread.

If anybody would like to propose a thread they would like to run

[NOW ON STREAMING]

There was not a tag for an non-[FRESH] release that haven't been on streaming services before being added to them, we are adding the [NOW ON STREAMING] tag to represent this.

Monthly RIAA Certifications thread

This was a great compliment to the Weekly Billboard and First Week Sales thread. These threads are back.

Smooth Sundays

This is now an official thread!

Reminder on Discussion Threads

They're allowed if they're not in the "Done To Death" section. Please post them!

Sincerely,

the mods

[DISCUSSION] Big K.R.I.T. - K.R.I.T. Iz Here (One Year Later)

Posted: 12 Jul 2020 05:31 AM PDT

K.R.I.T. iz Here is the fourth studio album by American rapper Big K.R.I.T., released on July 12, 2019, by BMG Rights Management and Multi Alumni. It follows the release of his 2017 album 4eva Is a Mighty Long Time, and is a sequel to his 2010 mixtape K.R.I.T. Wuz Here. It featured guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Saweetie, Rico Love, Yella Beezy, J. Cole and Baby Rose, among others.

Critical reception

Evan Rytlewski of Pitchfork described Big K.R.I.T. as "almost incapable of making a song that's anything less than perfectly fine", continuing: "K.R.I.T. Iz Here might have been better off if K.R.I.T. had availed himself of a few swings and misses". Writing on HipHopDX, Daniel Spielberger labelled the album as "neither a career-defining album nor a complete flop", also commenting "K.R.I.T. is on auto-pilot".
