Is Anthony Fantano the biggest cancer on the modern landscape of the music industry perception?

Is Anthony Fantano the biggest cancer on the modern landscape of the music industry perception?

How the fuck can you be this wrong about an album, it's downright embarassing.

I say that from now on we ban any and every single one of the threads related to him.

Since it is more than obvious that he has no fucking idea how to comprehend or even analyze something deeper outside his generic indie/folk (lol)

I mean how long has it been since this album was released and he tried to pretend that he was able to unpack everything that was said on the project?

No, its simply not possible the fact that he decided to rank it without fully or hell even partially comprehend it only shows that this has turned into merely a job for him.

Looking for clicks and fame and not a competent review is a shame since me as well as most people here even if it were the case that most people now would not be able to allow themselves to come forward and be honest with themselves on a public way that they would also admit that they used to listen to him.

But after this it is beyond definitive that whatever authority he used to have on the public discorse of opinion relativity is mainly because of persistence and not quality.

Shame on me.

Shame on you.

But most importantly of all.

Shame on him.

holy fuck i'm using this

What was wrong with his review?

there are definitely legitimate complaints to be had with Fantano's reviews of albums

but not on this fucking album

Epic

He's pretty transparent about how his videos reflect only his own opinions. He doesn't act like he's objectively determining the worth of an album, just subjectively for himself. If you don't like his tastes, stop following him.

Are you mad about the fantano drones on this site? Deal with it, champ

Fuck logic

This is copy pasta right?

this album fucking sucks though

i get this is pasta bait but this was his most solid review in years.

Logic is a barely more tolerable Macklemore.
And im glad he addressed the black meme of making a black version of X.

What album -

to Pimp the Butterly

logic hasnt been good since his mixtapes and his debut album at the latest

Is this the best new Sup Forums copypasta?

should been light 2, what a garbage pop rap album

you're right this album deserved a 2

/thread

Not even in the top 100.
Hampy-era was best pastas.

>pop rap album
Idiot, by definition conscious rap can't be pop.

fuck off.

I hate Logic but I might hate Fantano more

>Sup Forums suddendly pretends to not like Logic

Fuck off contrarians, just because your Le meme overlord pretends to do doesn't mean you have to follow his lead.

>rap can't be pop.
say that again

Youre right. The album is a 3. He really rushed it

>conscious rap
I agree with him

>logic
>conscious
nah, conscious implies your own opinion.
Logic just spouts a really safe version of the popular left opinion.

Fair enough. I'm just saying I can't recall the last time a "conscious rap" song was in pop music.

unty's "THIS BOARD WAS MADE FOR ME" is a personal fave

Did anyone realize how many people suddenly started to harp on the Needledrop? There is some serious shilling to bring him down going on recently. And I think its not even related to his music reviews but rather politics. He seems like a smart fellow and many times he points out how bad the leftists are (though hes very much againts the right too). And that bothers them because he's not afraid to speak his mind to million of his subs and twitter followers. That's just my observation but there's something real shady about it.

Either that or some people are THAT dumb to think critics are bad thing. Fatano just offers his opinion, NOT for you to agree with, but to gain some additional information and different perspective then your's.

Critics giving scores to art is not meant to be seen as a way to compare but to navigate and find better things without having to waste too much time. Same thing applies to genres (easier way to find similar things of your liking). But hey, some people would rather pay attention to what OTHER's think and than fight them (even though it doesn't do them any harm) instead of growing your own knowledge in topic and embracing things you like even more.

How do we stop his influence?

He's almost at one million subs.

The joke has gone too far. He needs to be stopped.

this review was actually pretty good, his analysis was very thought provoking especially when fantano was talking about a black spiderman

only if you're dumb enough to watch ten minute videos of someone giving their opinion on music.

He's going to be cocky when he hits a million because he has been waiting so long. Don't worry though, he said in his podcast with Sam Hyde that he doesn't expect to be doing this in ~4 years. That podcast came out two years ago.

I mean, did you know that logic is half black half-white? you should relisten the album, it makes you see it in a different perspective

I know you're shitposting but I really don't think he even looks black. I know he technically is but he doesn't look like it so I have a hard time believing he has experienced discrimination as a result.

See pic related? This boy is white af. I've seen Spaniards and Italians darker than that.

childish gambino did the whining better on camp.

You would whine too if you were dropping it like the NASDAQ and had coke up your asscrack

Logic is just as corny, but atleast gambino has actually made good tracks.

gambino is corny and boring

Can't tell who is and who isn't being ironic in this thread

t. logic
Atleast youve never been told a track you made would be bettor with someone else on it.

Post it

never heard logic though.

But i have.

>How the fuck can you be this wrong about an album, it's downright embarassing.
i mean. yeah he's wrong but 5 really isn't too much higher than what it should be so who cares?

Out of all the shit that you sperg about with Melon, you're gonna try to defend a fucking Logic album? Really?

Yeah he's white, I don't care if his dad was black. No one has ever looked at this guy and said "that's a black guy" so he has no legs to stand on with his "I've seen both sides" bullshit.

>baiting dis hard
>2017
ningen

this is what an objectively retarded opinion looks like my friends

This, he looks white. Mediterraneans are darker than him

hello new pasta

Giving a fuck.

cool gambino still sucks

And logic is worse

gambinos pretty bad though so idk maybe

stop answering to me.

Logic has always sucked balls lmao

>conscious

lmao

you have shit taste then.

nice b8 faggoo

>wahhhhhh waaaaahhhhh the mean bawd man didnt wike my shitty wap awbum waaaaah
jesus christ how pathetic. get over your autism for one moment and accept that
1. you don't have to watch his show
2. he doesn't have to pander to your taste
3. he has a mind of his own
maybe if you weren't so busy beating your meat over some other validation of this album you'd see that he's just an album reviewer and you don't need some outside source's approval to like something

Logic has him beat in those departments unfortunately.

maybe you should get over your own autism and realize his post is a joke.

Logic is shit.

IT'S THE JOOZ

>He's pretty transparent about how his videos reflect only his own opinions.

This is kind of duplicitous, though, isn't it?

"You guys know this is just my opinion, right?"

Yes, Anthony, but it's *your* opinion, and it's been your MO to justify your opinions, disseminate your opinions, and give your opinions a marketable shade of officialism for years now. If it truly is *just* your opinion and nothing more, why the youtube channel? Why the website? Why the t-shirts? The research? The memes?

Because it's *your* opinion, and your opinion matters. It's more special than other opinions. Your opinion will affect an album's sales. Your opinion will probably someday eventually wind up on countless albums' wikipedia pages. Your opinion is more important than any other single music critic's opinion in the whole world. Your opinions have been marketed and accepted as something more than mere opinion--rather, as the opinions of an important expert, as proclamations, almost.

So what does it mean when you say that a review is "just" your opinion? What would it have meant if Roger Ebert, after giving a movie a negative review, had attempted to soften the blow or dissuade backlash by assuring us he had only given us his "opinion"? Your opinion is elevated. You, in fact, are the one who worked so hard to elevate your opinions. Your opinions have power, yet you laugh at the idea that this power should come with responsibility--after all, these are just "opinions," and opinions can't hold power, can they?

Increasingly, this "just my opinion" tagline at the end of Fantano's videos just seems to me like a facile and disingenuous excuse for Fantano's own desire to be capricious, provocative, frivolous, and at times even vindictive in his reviews. He hides these tendencies beneath a wall of information culled from Wikipedia, and if you see through that, he dismisses your legitimate concerns by making fun of you for taking an "opinion" so seriously.

logic is trash this review could have been made like 20 minutes after you listened to this trash album, the fact that he gave this a 5 is shocking since this deserves like a 3 at best

The difference between Melon and cancer is that he is very easy to disregard, ignore, and laugh at.

He is right 90 percent of the time. I'm glad he gave kendrick's new album a 7. Honestly, a 7 is too high for that album. It is kendrick's worst album of all time. On the other hand, he gave joey bada$$'s new album a strong 8. This makes no sense when it's joey bada$$'s worst album of all time. He is peculiar guy but his input and taste is amazing. I''ll never forget when he gave rodeo an 8 while every other music site panned it. Made me listen to Rodeo and appreciate the greatness to it.

SAD

>'why review albums if it's not objectively, mathematically proven whether the album is good or bad'

Because music taste is subjective, every review is an opinion.

By the way please try and sound less butthurt because a shitty album got panned by a youtube meme reviewer.

Says the guy critiquing a music critic, on a fucking chinese cartoon board nonetheless.

Fantano is making decent money doing something he is passionate about. Block him on youtube, set some filters, and move on with your life, sperglod.

>why if it's just your opinion
Because he thought he was good at doing it, enjoys doing it, so why not see if he can make some money off of it?
I don't always agree with his reviews, but music is pretty much based off of personal taste. Even music that uses tones and shit that are supposed to sound unappealing for artistic choices, people enjoy. Some one's opinion can't be wrong, you fucking idiot.

To Bust a Nutterfly

Why the fuck doesn't he like mewithoutYou? Is he an atheist or something?

This is either one of the greatest baits I've ever seen on Sup Forums, or one of the most autistic people I've ever seen on Sup Forums.

This album harps on the same themes over and over again for nearly every track on the damn thing. We understand he is half black and half white, it doesn't need to be the focus of 70% of the record. And I'm not even gonna go into how fucking corny his lyrics / delivery are.

>I've been on the low
>I been taking my time
>I feel like I'm out of my mind
>It feel like my life ain't mine
>Who can relate? WOOOO!
