Line Out - Comments on Pitchfork on Blue Scholars' Bayani http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/06/pitchfork_on_blue_scholars_bayani Today Pitchfork posted their review of Blue Scholars' Bayani. They give it a respectable 6.8. Is this the first time Seattle hip hop's scored an album review on the site? Well, no. But it's still a pretty big deal....

for the site, i'd say this is a very balanced assessment, BTW easily the most positive review so far of "the new rawkus." notice the reviewer talked not at all about the label's history or reputation, but focused on the music and it's connection to seattle. that's got to make the scholars happy.

anybody else find it weird that pitchfork- who loves LITA- doesn't seem to have the saturday knights on its radar?

It's only a grade.
Isn't music criticism passe or to be ignored anyway?
