For those of you who saw Tune-Yards’ whokill win the critics’ poll and went “ugggggghhhhh,” what is it that you don’t like about the album (or the artist)? I’m honestly not trolling here, I promise! I love the album (it was my #1), but I understand that her election as President Of Music doesn’t come with a mandate or anything. She’s still sold less than 50k, her victory was perhaps aided by vote-splitting because of the Internet’s Horn Of Plenty, and so on. But for those who hate whokill and/or Tune-Yards, what is it? Not a lot of bad stuff has been written about whokill this year. Is it:

• Her “feral and/or primal” aesthetic?
• Her unique singing voice?
• Her use of loop pedals and/or ukeleles? 
• Her political edge and/or feminism?
• Her appropriation of au courant West African musical signifiers and/or the use of “gangsta”?
• Her pre-emptive recognition of such appropriation, which she embeds into the music itself?
• UGGGGGGH INDIE?
• The fact that she doesn’t represent “2011 music” as well as _____________?
• EDIT: Her UnCoNvEnTiOnAl UsE oF OrThOgRaPhY? (thanks to Tom)
