Peppa Pig’s album has better reviews than Kanye’s latest release

Peppa’s a pig, but is she a GOAT in the making?

Peppa Pig has been on the telly for quite some time now, but she’s fairly new to the music scene.

In 2019, she released her first album, entitled, well, My First Album. This summer saw her release her sophomore album, Peppa’s Adventures: the Album.

Yet her newcomer status in the music industry isn’t stopping her from bypassing established musicians when it comes to critical reviews.

See, famed music outlet Pitchfork actually scored Peppa’s Adventures: the Album higher than Kanye West’s latest album, Donda.

The publication described Peppa’s second record as “a charming and self-assured celebration of family, friendship, and muddy puddles,” giving it a rating of 6.5.

Donda, on the other hand, was scored 6.0, with the review stating: “a significant portion of this album still sounds incomplete, searching for meaning everywhere and coming up impressively short.” Jaysus.

Even the official Peppa Pig account weighed in, writing “Peppa didn’t need to host listening parties in Mercedes-Benz Stadium to get that .5.”

This tweet referenced Kanye’s promotional efforts, which included said listening party at the stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, back in July.

Sadly, the tweet was deleted, but screenshots are forever. The official account did keep a reply up to a fan who referenced the reviews though.

Queen behaviour. Better luck next time, Yeezy.
