FANTANO 10

>>127058521 (OP)
so it's confirmed shit

Rather listen to Daytona or it's almost dry

>>127058521 (OP)
Had a feeling this would happen, I'll take this over brat I guess

>>127058521 (OP)
meh i guess

>>127058521 (OP)
He literally did this because he hates Drake so much. His credibility in complete shambles now

>>127058521 (OP)
its good, but...who gives a shit about hip hop even when its good? its over. this is good but sounds like 2011. a nice revisit to the past but what are we doing?

>>127058521 (OP)
what hating drake does to a motherfucker

>>127058758

>>127058521 (OP)
His 10s used to mean something
I doubt anyone will remember The Turning Wheel, Sinner Get Ready, and Let God Sort Em Out in a decade

The downfall of music criticism seems alot like the downfall of rottentomatoes
''If you hate this capeshit movie, you are just an edgelord contrarian who hates fun''' kinda opinions

My black barber said the album was not good, I trust him for hip hop takes than this pasty cracker

What would you guys have rated it?

>>127058521 (OP)
This guy is literally bald. Why would anyone care about what he says?

Laughable, even more laughable that it has a song that rips off No Church In The Wild beat and flow.

>>127058902
6/10
Had a funny song that shat on Travis Scott and that's it

Fatano thinks this is better than Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk btw

>>127058882
We're witnessing the climax of poptimism
It's not that long until the pendulum swings back and critics started sucking the alternatives again
This time it looks like critics will suck Nashville cock this time

Moving Dirty White like mosh pits has to be one of the coolest lines I've ever heard.

>>127058935
This Fantano is EXTREMELY bald.

It's a good album, I don't care what this fag thinks

>>127058964
poptmism worked in its own warped way when they had an enemy to rag on, but since rock is dead they only have themselves to ponder, and they have realized how soulless and empty they are

>This was the top comment
How long until he deletes this?
Imagine being a deadbeat dad because you're a retard that fell for the vasectomy shit test

>>127059045
okay, i have to ask where is this shit about him having a kid coming from? is this new news or a rumor, give me the qrd

>>127058521 (OP)
That's why he's the GOAT

>>127059066
His divorce papers anon
His ex-wife has the custody of their kid and is probably on pre-school right now

>>127059076
loooool, hope he looks like fantano but with an afro

listenin to this shit. first sound like a conscious corny shit jonh legend lol gtfo nigga king von mogs this shit

>>127059045
It's a joke about Pusha T revealing Drake's hidden son during their beef you moron

If you haven't heard it yet, listen to "So Far Ahead" and try not to laugh.

>>127059139
Holy shit its the Joke Understander
Double entendres exist too anon, its like the meat and potatoes of hip hop

He's smocking rock, was listening to them back in the days, this is far from being as good as Lord Willin' or even Hell Hath No Furry it's just a little above Til the Casket Drops, 6 or 7/10 at best

>>127059194
I sincerely do not believe the comment section that copy-pastes To Pimp a Butterfly jokes on every review purposefully made a clever double entendre

>>127058521 (OP)
>shit album cover
shan't be listening

>>127058521 (OP)
10 black penises going inside fantano's bunghole

>>127059076
Why did they divorce? How did she get full custody?

>>127059674
It a good album anon.

>>127058521 (OP)
Who honestly gives a fuck what this weird old guy thinks?

>>127059885
Guys that look like this

>>127058521 (OP)
Big Chungus Keanu Reeves 100 Reddit Gold. Mom, dad, son cool American. Wad flying wad bag gg/Qnu9WwDn of cash credit card controller slots. Saxophone, gold record guitar coon! Cigarette egg, shrimp nut.

>>127058964
>>127059039
yeah, I agree. music journalists are pretending that Beyonce and Rihanna are high art and praising every single decentish rap album that comes from an already acclaimed artist

surely we've reached the peak of poptimism and will see more of a push for more niche and unique music tastes?

>>127058521 (OP)
looks like someone was short on the rent money lol

>>127058521 (OP)
I assumed this was a photoshop lol. The album is decent I guess but there’s nothing special about it. Push has better solo albums.
>>127059885
/mu/

>>127059933
I hate this fag so much, he makes the most worthless surface level music "discussion" videos I've ever seen

>>127060302
I feel like every single one of these music YouTubers suck ass, I just can’t imagine watching some smug cunt tell me what’s good or not when I can decide for myself

>>127058521 (OP)
>hip-hop
I will never understand how people can find this niggardly nonsense entertaining

>>127060346
SHIEEEET MUH DICK

>>127060340
At least fantano has the decency to throw out a hot take every once in a blue moon. This guy has nearly 200k subscribers eating up videos like this.

>>127058521 (OP)
Isn’t that thing on the cover some funko pop scam pretending to be fine art?

>>127058521 (OP)
This guy's opinion doesn't really carry as much weight as it did in the first half of the 2010s. He has since become a very unreasonable person. So I don't really care.

>>127058521 (OP)
What it is, some tranny bs again?

>>127058722
Precisely.

>>127058521 (OP)
Pusha T has the most boring flow I've ever heard

>>127060466
Close, nigger bullshit

Aaaand just bumped my 4 on RYM to a 5, thanks Fantano.

>>127058964
Country's new found hype is already past its peak. And its popularity was never organic to begin with.
>>127059996
Poptimism is never going away.
This albums acclaim isn't a result of that anyway. This is probably one of Fagtano's most recent genuine high praises. It's not a good album and it's just that he's got shit taste but everyone already knew that.

What even is poptimism? I don't get it, seems like a meaningless buzzword.

>>127058521 (OP)
Gave the best album of this decade a 9 but gave this 8/10 which isnt even aoty a 10. this fag never fails to disappoint

>>127062037
Defending corporate sweatshop pop since roughly Paula Abdul to present for 11 year old girls.

>gangster rap
>featuring Pharrell Williams
huh?

Poptimism means you attacked Britney and Christina in 2001 as false corporate dross for little girls and today act as if they were equal to the Beatles or Floyd artistically.

I hate this retard

>>127062560
The Beatles were corporate dross for little girls too, nimrod.

>>127062560
that kind of singer always existed i'm sure there are examples from the 50s-60s as well you think there was no Fabian or Bobby Rydell?

>hippity hop
does this nigga know the 90s are over?

Thanks for putting this on my radar you bald faggot, didn't know this existed.

>>127058521 (OP)
let me guess, another 10 for a meh album that barely anyone will care in a few years like most of this guy's 10s

>>127058521 (OP)
I. DON’T. GIVE. A. NIGGER. SHIT.

>>127058521 (OP)
Why is the guy from fortnite on that album cover

>>127062619
>geetar man singing about 14 year sluts
does this boomer know the 70s are over?

>>127062619
you know it's over when the only rappers anyone discusses are Kendrip, Cake, and Cumye all of whom peaked a decade plus ago

>>127058521 (OP)
wow, fantano gave another rap album for white people a 10

crazy

>>127062547
THE PHANTOM

>>127062037
It's really not difficult to Google things, but I forgot popfags are too retarded to even do that.

poptimism is a hard thing to quantify. it doesn't exactly apply to >>127052295 50s-60s stuff because most of that was poppified jazz or standards meant for a nominally adult audience. it doesn't exactly apply to the 70s either.

>>127062907
No. I specifically said what it was which was pretending that corporate pop since the 80s is high art. stuff from the 50s-60s doesn't count because it was a lot different music industry and culture in general. modern pop is a very specifically engineered corporate boardroom product for tween girls and at least at one time was rightfully scorned as such.

>>127062932
it was always assembly line you had armies of songwriters trying to get their stuff recorded and Payola-ed on the radio no?

one of his other "10"s that nobody listens to anymore

whoa it's a rap album that focuses on the "lyricism" and the "bars" rather than the music being actually good?

must be a 10!

>>127062942
oh no back then it was nothing like today. back then you would record a song some songwriter would pen and if it was a hit then it was a hit. the entire process was a lot more DIY and unsophisticated in, say, 1958. not at all like Britney or Katy which were megabucks pop engineered in an LA boardroom given a massive promotional budget and megabucks stage shows. what constitutes "pop" in the 21st century is not "pop" in Brenda Lee's day not even close. and that's why we don't like it, there's a falseness to it which you never perceived from boomer pop.

Single handily ruined the reputation of Brat and other darling 10s albums he has given

>>127062907
a key element to poptimism is the unspoken implication that by glazing mediocre and forgettable pop slop, you're somehow owning the establishment (read: old white guy) gatekeepers and tastemakers. common and worn out post modernist cultural subversion tactic

>>127062965
this new clipse album is unironically better than tpab

>>127062973
The industry is far more controlled and top-down managed than it ever was in Mitch Miller's day.

>>127063101
kind of. back then if you had a hit once in a while the label would let you do whatever noncommercial material you wanted eg. Sarah Vaughan at Mercury was free to make jazz records as long as she scored a few pop hits here and there. that's nothing like today not even close.

>>127058858
i think it's funny that only white people say this but i also think the niggas who always point this out are also the type of nigga that listen to drake and literally nothing else

I'll stress again that the modern kind of pop singer emerged in the 80s more or less.

>>127062547
Pharrell has been involved with Clipse since the beginning though

Fantano never had many legs to stand on because he used to be a Millenial hipster who dick slurped the world's most boring indie bands before going full out poptimist (and supporter of rap albums that are considered acceptable for white people to listen to).

>>127063181
it's fine if you like more lyrical rap but fantano giving this thing a 10 is so predictable, especially after he gave the new travis scott a 2 for no reason

lyrical miracle rappers so often are used as a way to differentiate your taste as more discerning than the average listener, like oh this isn't that drake or travis scott slop, this is Bespoke Rap

get a super basic beat and reference a few historical figures I guarantee you these guys will say it's an all time classic

>>127062547
>t. guy who only knows Pharrell Williams as the Despicable Me guy

>>127063294
The main reason anyone took Kendrick seriously was because his production team slapped a few jazz horns on TPABF so critics would decide he was real shit instead of Souja Boy or one of those guys.

>>127059102
based

>>127062547
search up "Pharrell's Four Count Start" on YouTube and be surprised what songs he made

I honestly find this 10 way more baffling than the brat review, like I love the clipse and I don’t think this album is nowhere near a 10.

I have noticed that Fantano will give more favourable reviews to artists that interact with him, I think Pusha T was asking him for the review so obviously this nerd throws his objectivity out the window and starts glazing like crazy

Iirc he use to shit on Logic badly and then when Logic befriended him, you could see him being a lot less harsh on his music.

>>127062965
only people who listen to tpab are rym / forum dweller fags
Even Kendrick himself said that DAMN. was better than tpab

>>127058521 (OP)
How the fuck?

>>127058521 (OP)
Why does fantano arbitrarily pick nothing burger albums to give a 10? Is he desperate to form some kind of legacy or something? His 10s dont seem to age well

I think this is the most uninteresting album he’s given a 10. At least Brat and TPAB were culturally significant, and albums like The Turning Wheel or YWGWYW bring notable production to the table. This is just an okay hip-hop release and I don’t think people would bat an eye if it didn’t have the Clipse name on it.

>>127063934
The money store, to pimp a butterfly, and MAYBE kids see ghosts are the only ones that I could justify giving a 10 not because they're absolute masterpieces, but because they're at least relevant albums. To be kind is pretty good (not a masterpiece) but kind of a nothingburger album. All other 10s just feel random

why do you nigger lovers like rap? they have zero fucking talent.

>>127064094
>are the only ones that I could justify giving a 10 not because they're absolute masterpieces
brainletwojak.gif

>>127064133
None of his 10s are actually deserving of a 10/10 based on musical merit, which is the only relevant factor. If you're going to give a 10/10 to an album that's not a masterpiece, at least give it to an album that's not a complete nothingburger.

That's what I know Fantano won't be remember nor he won't be never relevant.
He just appeals the current thing.
Meanwhile Christgau is his own thing. In his autism Christgau is only interested in Christgau.

>>127064169
It's not his fault, the guy is just a product of his time he's not Christgau or Bangs nor could he be. Unlike them he never lived in a time when there were cutting edge albums coming out every month the best he can do for an "important" album is TPAB or Brat.

I thought it was some car seat headrest type tranny shit with the artist's totally original OC on the cover, but it's a fucking boomer rap album?

>>127064169
yea loves niggers too much kek

Did a single GOOD SONG that stood the test of time and is seen as great by the general consensus come out from any of his 10/10 albums? Hacker by death grips maybe? But that's only really known by internet nerds. King kunta by kendrick?

>>127063608
>Even Kendrick himself said that DAMN. was better than tpab
yes and he's wrong

Wow everyone hates the black people album on "addictive and funny" 4chan wow everyone is shocked.

If you actually listen these songs have beats and are better than anything you have ever heard on your stupid jazz tapes. This is Pharrell's finest work. The album has zero skips and it's why its a 10. The features on this has done the job of energizing each song and not to serve anyone's ego, each feature elevates the song. The opening track The Birds Don't Sing leaves grown men in tears. It uses church choirs leaps and bounds better than Jesus Is King did. You guys are just stuck in your NPC programming if you cared to sit down and listen to this, you would see each song is a worthy part of the greater whole, no wasted songs.

>>127064544
okay, anthony

>>127064544
the general consensus among hip hop heads is that the album is 8-9 but not 10, 10 means perfect. fantano high off pushas blow or something to give it a 10

Im a zoomer and I was here before all the fakes believe the hype

WE GOT IT 4 CHEAP

>>127062037
the trend among music critics to shy away from more experimental and niche genres of music and praise mainstream corporate pop and rap music instead
this trend is very obvious when you look at Pitchfork and Fantano

10

I'm so tired of this

>>127064544
He is completely and utterly alone in claiming this album is a masterpiece

>>127064544
Lol Anthony obviously posts here

>>127058952
That's worth 6 points to you.

>>127064266
Feel The Love and the entirety of KSG is still looked upon favorably.

>>127058521 (OP)
I really hate that I have to say Fantano is right, because Fantano is right. Clipse have done it again. Yet another instant classic Every other critic fumbled it. Melon slammed dunk.

>>127067706
Instead of sucking cock and trying to look more enlightened than everyone else and tell us why this is a supposed masterpiece. Ahat is so good about this shit. Talk about the fucking music for once and stop with the buzzwords and virtue signaling. You people are beyond braindead with these critics

>>127067748
Unrelenting commitment to the lyrical coke rap aesthetic and perfectly managing both Malice's return and Kanye's departure. No skips. Another inscription on the eternal pyramid of real hip hop

>>127058521 (OP)
no one will remember this shit in 5 years

>>127067706
I haven't listened to every song but the ones I did listen to lost me with the constant "this is culturally inappropriate" sample
Yeah, insisting upon yourself that what you're doing is subversive is an L.
They weren't bad besides that but it doesn't feel that different from the more aggressive material Pusha has done in the past.

>>127064544
im the anon that posted this, i fed the entire thread into an AI and asked it to refute the arguments in a 4chan style no nonsense post
it did a bad job but people still replied

>>127067786
This might be their least over the top cocaine album and their most double-entendre-laden work ever. There is hardly a coke line on this entire album that isn't also a double meaning. It's a triumph of the art

>>127067805
It just shows that Fantano is as bad as AI. Lol literally a drone that has no thought of his own

>>127067822
You sound like a faggot

>>127067822
It’s shit, any true hip hop head will tell you it has trash beats. Only Reddit basedboys who listen to RYM chart rap are rating this.

>>127067842

He's also the "Happy" guy.

>>127062037
you know how we have to pretend mainstream music is actually deep art and not vapid slop otherwise we're snobs? that's poptimism

Not the worst album he’s given a 10. I’ll take this over Brat or Lingua Ignota

>>127061978

>>127063144
ouch

What did this gloryhole servicer rate Daytona because that shits all over this

>>127058521 (OP)
You just know this guy has never listened to the Halo OST.

>>127069140
Brat is better than this new Clipse.
Honestly I think the worst thing he gave a 10 is Kids See Ghosts, it's a fine album but it really doesn't stand out. There are better Kanye albums, there are better Cudi albums. I just don't understand it.

>>127062965
>This dick ainttttt freeeeee

This
At least brat has precedence since he gave Charli AOTY and has been singing her praises since she collaborated with SOPHIE
This Clipse 10 literally came out of nowhere

>Tweeting about his failed marriage
Looks like he's reading these threads huh

>>127072986
not sure it's TOTALLY out of nowhere. hell hath no fury is widely considered one of the best rap albums of the 2000s, and pusha's solo output is usually well respected by critics. don't know what fantano thought of daytona but that was another one that was universally praised. it's not like we're talking about nettspend or da baby getting a 10 or something

>>127073002
really reminds me of anthony fantano tattoo
if you know, you know.
