Idolator just sent out the following tweet:

With the dedication of Kobe Bryant, Kanye West is making new music as poetic as the writing of Maya Angelou. http://bit.ly/7Zw8ug

I don’t know why that irks me, but it does. Kanye west is making music as poetic as the writing of Maya Angelou and with the dedication of Kobe Bryant? How much is he paying Buzznet to write this to restore his self shitted on image?

I guess “Ass that swallows up a g-string, and up top two bee stings ” is quite Angelou-esque ( I know that was before this was written).

Just In: Idolator relaunch sucks

Filed in stuff we already knew; Digital Music News writes that the Idolator relaunch has faced tough criticism and anger amongst the sites previously angelic audience.

Quote sayeth the News:

Pop fanatics and longtime readers were hardly welcoming. Instead of embracing the modest redesign and added multimedia elements, the pop intelligentsia seemed unimpressed and dismissive. “Mainstream, cliche, commercialized garbage,” one commenter dismissed. “So much for my favorite music blog,” another complained.

So What Really Happened to Idolator

Idolator

So what really happened at Idolator? If you’ve been to the site since the sudden departure of Maura (awesome) Johnston, you’ll notice tons and tons of comments upset about the change in format.
Idolator has been a site that has had a great record of unfiltered opinions, but now it just seems like a shill site. Did the majors crack down? Was there a top level commandment that there no longer could be a public lashing of the stupidity of labels?
Let us know if you know anything…
