So according to Fantano, the "Lil Pump" mixtape is as good as DAMN., by Kendrick Lamar, better than both Yeezus and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, as good as Carrie And Lowell by Sufjan Stevens, and better than the Age Of Adz by Sufjan Stevens.
Fantano doesn't rate things on an actual scale. Fantano listens to something, says some buzzwords and then a number. He doesn't analyse anything and then he changes his mind by the year end list but never retcons his 'official' score'. He's just a vlogger, don't take him seriously.

Connor Cook
Stop watching music critics. Stop putting taste on a measuring line. Stop shilling artists and albums. Stop browsing this board.

>not knowing he gave it a 7 to stir up controversy
Anthony Hall
Pretty much this. He doesn't actually understand music whatsoever. There's never any real mention of song structure, music theory, or sound design. Its just his feelings with some meme criticisms to appeal to his autistic fanbase.
James Wright
>what is personal taste Woah it's almost like his ratings are subjective
Benjamin Sanders
>he doesn't claim to be
Arguably wrong
Brandon Collins
Now that you got that out of the way let's get into the not depending on other people's opinions part.
Jaxon Howard
Woah it's almost as if Fantano himself and his dickriders always criticize the subjective and cultural aspect of p4k et al. Holy double standards, you faggot!
Dominic Miller
>So according to Fantano, the "Lil Pump" mixtape is as good as DAMN., by Kendrick Lamar, better than both Yeezus and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, as good as Carrie And Lowell by Sufjan Stevens, and better than the Age Of Adz by Sufjan Stevens. i don't see the issue here besides AOA the lil pump is tape has much more replay value and is actually funny. mbdtf is a failure. he spent 3m on that crap
Charles Hernandez
late as hell but what would you recommend to me as an actual good music reviewer on youtube?
Wyatt Murphy
Yeah, just like any other reviewer then.
Wyatt Smith
Fantano determines a rating for an album based on where it stands in relation to its genre, to the potential of the artist on display in contrast with that genre compared to where he perceives the album is aimed after a listen. He doesn't speculate on the strength of music in a single overarching black and white realm in which one or two measures of complexity are the determining values.

Rap is bad, how has that genre gotten so big. No wonder the insects in this country voted Trump, they don't have any brains.
Jason Gutierrez
Most rap is liberal therefore rap fans vote conservative
Kevin Morgan

Charles Cruz
He also doesn't understand conceptual analysis so he has no grounds for criticism on any level.
Dominic Martinez
Then dont listen to rap if you dont like it retard
Cooper Martin
There aren't any. Fantano is handy to be subscribed to if you want to know if a popular album has come out. I don't know of any worthwhile critics in any field right now.
Jace Sanders
Reflective analysis is better suited for the critique of music
Alexander Powell
Big difference between liking music and critiquing music, retard.
Tyler Lopez
"the rating is just a show of my personal enjoyment of an album"

Dylan Allen
OK Tell me why its so important for critiquing then, I'll wait
Lincoln Wright
Pretty sure what he's actually saying is that DAMN is as bad as Lil Pump's mixtape. Stop tripping like a little bitch.
Justin Foster
How else are you going to objectively tell how complex the melody or chord progression in a song is? How else are you going to objectively tell if something unique is being done for the scale the song is in? Also you still failed to address the other two points in my first post anyways which I doubt you can because you're a retarded Fantano memer.
Liam Kelly
Implying that the value of music is derived from chord complexity or some premeditated linear progression.
Caleb Johnson
Yeah but Lil Pump is not mediocre. He's trash.
Brody Butler
I'm not saying lil pump is great, but the album really wasn't bad
Connor Myers
OK well, fantano in the review said he does think Lil pump is painting himself into a corner on his song structure so that was obviously one of the weaknesses of the tape but at the beginning he also said he can enjoy the simplicity as well which you can't really be mad at, good music doesn't have to be complex
Xavier Gray
5/10 never forget :(
Robert Brooks
Good music doesn't have to be complex but it's generally understood that music that any simpleton can understand isn't very good
Elijah Hall
>lack of substance >lack of song structure >redundant songs >some tracks are too formulaic >if it weren't for the beats we probably wouldn't be listening >its good for dumbing out to Oh my god, look at how much he praised it!
Ryder Peterson
Not necessarily saying it is, but a lack of understanding how certain chords work together and what notes could also sound good in a melody makes for a bad critique of a song; especially coming from a guy who labels himself "the busiest music nerd."
I agree that good music doesn't always have to be complex, but I agree with as well.
Caleb Peterson
you're an idiot good music can be understood by anyone repeats listens -> familiarity =~= the closest thing to an objective understanding of any piece of music
