George Clanton's brand of 90s-inspired hypnagogic pop on Slide is fresh and intriguing despite the album's concept not being taken far enough.

GEORGE CLANTON - SLIDE / 2018 / 100% ELECTRONICA / HYPNAGOGIC POP, CHILLWAVE, SYNTHPOP
7/10
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
I have a lot more respect for George Clanton as an artist because when I went to see him in Dc he was the guy who was running the shirt store so I got to meet him and he gave me my shirt which I liked, thank you for giving me the shirt George
ok.......
that's a wholesome story
I was there too! Black Cat is one of my favorite DC venues
Coming back to DC at SongByrd Jan 30th! So excited
Fancy seeing you here two years later
10 outta 10
Review it again
Help I need 13.7k subs by the end of this week or my two girlfriends will leave me for my brother Shawn!
@@AxxLAfriku Picture a world where folk give a shite about that tomfoolery you are spewing, lad.
Get back to ShuffleQuest, YOU GOOF
Shaun
You're not Shaun ya fraud
The Nem Nem album. 10/10.
Help I need 13.7k subs by the end of this week or my two girlfriends will leave me for my brother Mark Callaway!
i thought it was atleast an 8. Im much of a hater of his relapse trilogy as anyone else, and yet i still find this record a fresh gust of wind from eminem yet still bringing his zany attitude.
Daniel Weinerman
Here's my review.
Who gives a shit?/10.
Daniel Weinerman naw, that wigger music is like a 3/10
JUSTICE FOR NEM NEM
Hi needltdrop I am the SUPREME BEING watch my videos to take your life to the next level BOW DOWN TO THE KING
Hi my name is Eminem, your girl wanted an M&M so I gave her an M&M- M&M&M&M
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Brennan Derek instablaster =)
George Clanton is heavily underrated
I did not expect you to even touch this, melon. Neat!
Same! Very cool seeing it here
yes
Great album. Cool seeing the channel cover it.
Speaking of pleasant surprises, I love your channel dude!
100% electronica is the most underrated album of all time.
One of those times when Anthony really missed the mark. This will go down as one of the best albums of the decade
*One of the best albums of all-time*
he actually added this in his top 200 albums of 2010s
This is a top 10 album to me, absolute classic
yeah, the longer I wait and come back to this album, the better it gets. Truly magical album
Yup still good
Synthpop? Hypnogogic pop? 7/10? Sounds like a must-listen.
It totally is, George Clanton is so underrated 😭💙
Bobjiro Lopez definitely, Clanton is a master of Synthpop.
George Clanton is so gawt damn dope dude and underrated as hell give this a listen also check out 100% electronica
Go check out some espirit songs pls
Demagogic laser synth trans doowop pop.
Shoutout to GC and the Melon. Thanks for reviewing!!
The genius behind Esprit back at it again.
Grindcore Racer 67 Dont forget Mirror Kisses
The genisu behind George Clinton is back again bois
If you get the chance, go see him live. He puts on an insanely good show and usually plays with Negative Gemini who is equally amazing.
It was definitely the best night of my life
His wife * ❤
seeing him soon
Least fav track Encore, are these shots at Em?
John Ricotta why do you have rap god in u photo that’s literally forbidden unless ur like 12
John Ricotta eek you listen to wigger music. EEK
JUST ICE FOR DA NEM
This dude is on crack.. Slide is one of the dopest albums I've ever heard... It deserves 10
7 is pretty good coming from fantano
WHY? i almost fell asleep listening to that shit! mind numbing, super boring bland shit. How the fuck is this a special album? im geniunely curious. Enlighten me.
@@ElevatedLevetator Not everybody has the same opinion and perspective on music like you, dude. Step off your high horse and humble yourself a bit
@@ElevatedLevetator yo ears need some checking bruh go to a doctor lmao
@@ElevatedLevetator my balls
ANTHONY PLEASE *SLIDE* IN MY WIFE’S DM’S AND TAKE HER TO STEAK N SHAKE
He's vegan tho
@@funatish it's for his wife, not anthony
@@Robertthewren veganism is about that B O Y C O T T
funatish Lettuce N Pet Us? Kale N Wail?
@@funatish then why do all the vegans I know work at places serving animal products?
his voice is really iconic imo
Totally, dude's the fucking Vapor Pop god with that voice.
couldn't agree more
totally agree, but I did feel like the melon was pretty fair. this album is for sure a 9 or 10 for me though
I love those vocal lines that drone on for forever. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Honestly I love Slide, its easily my favorite album of the last few years and although I see where you are coming from with a lot of your points, I think that the sort of "typical" lyrics really give the album that extra 90's / shoegaze pop feel to it. And sure, You Lost Me There is kind of a reprise of Make It Forever, but if you take in the album as a whole its really perfect because its telling a story about love, and to me its amazing how he is able to come full circle with such an epic motif.
IMO, this album is a masterpiece. 9.5/10. But I respect your opinion.
You COMPLETELY gave kamikaze the wrong score, I didn’t thing it was possible for a music reviewer to be that far off when reviewing an album but apparently it is, kamikaze didn’t deserve a 4/10 it deserved a 3/10

A great example of the current Eminem fan.

whether he is going by ESPRIT, Mirror Kisses, Kid's Garden, or George Clanton, he has such a unique sound that makes the music stand-out when compared to his contemporaries. this isn't a magnum opus for George, he's just getting started, 100% electronica is such a great collection of musicians, please keep doing your thing.
MAKE IT FOREVER GEORGE IS THAT BOIIII
Eminem - 10/10 Review it again(Ft. Cal Chuchesta) track review should be next
George Clanton makes fantastic music
It's about time you reviewed some George Clanton. That Esprit sound edit was hilarious
This a 9 for me, every track is just so catchy and dreamy, exactly the kind of thing i love so much ❤

1. The Nem Nem Dispute
George Clanton is a 10/10 in my gosh darnnned book
Oh man I was just thinking about how cool a needledrop review of Slide would be. Thanks Anthony!!!!!!
Cheers for putting the timestamps on all the albums Vapor Memory uploads man :)
Absolutely! Thanks for using them!
I really enjoyed this album, it’s a total departure from what I’d normally go for and I’m glad I gave it a whirl.
Slide is the musical demonstration of "you need the lowest lows to feel the highest highs"
Slow, strange and almost offputting intros feeding into these 30 second moments of absolute, raw fucking tonal brilliance
I can't think of anything quite like it
Wish I’d friends like you who realize the beauty of this
Glad to see my boy get the clout he finally deserves
review the minecraft sound track please
Gamerster he doesn’t do Classics reviews til the beginning of January :/
no joke it is such a great and ambient soundtrack.
Gamerster
Is this a joke because it's easily a solid 9/10. Relaxing as fuck
seriously tho what dark magic they used to make such an orgasmic soundtrack
Gamerster legit like a strong 8 to light 9 it’s good shit
Man this one really grew on me. That transition at the end of Dumb into Blast Off is amazing.
You lost me there > Make it forever Fight me 😤
Thank you Matt Watson for recommending this very neat-o album
I wished I listened to this album sooner. Really enjoyed the title track but never got around to listening to the album but I love it.
Record is amazing but do yourselves a favor and go see him live if you can. Most flat out fun blast of a show I’ve been to in years
+1 He makes a fantastic show. The amount of energy he has on stage is crazy.
most flat out fun "blast off" a show
First Pitchfork and now this? Homie is going places!
I learned about George Clanton because he teamed up with 311’s Nick Hexum, my favorite artist of all time. Clanton is truly original and inspiring.
I love how his mustache looks like a cowboy hat.
George Clanton / ESPRIT is the best vap0rWave
Park West Corp is on the same level imo
George Clinton is cooler than Eminem.
Bill Clinton > George Clinton > George Clanton
You got the order inside out
Where is Franklin Clinton
BILL CLINTON IS HIV POSITIVE
George Clinton is dope but I don't really give a fuck about George Clanton or Bill lol
one of the best albums I have ever heard. First three songs are some of the best shit out there
this album has grown on me a ton. fucking love this shit
MY MANS GEORGE CLANTON!!
Proud to see Cal protesting for the Nem Nem album. A man of culture, that Cal Chuchesta.
Still waiting on his next mixtape...maybe album...triple-album...10-album anthology...whatever he wants, I’ll listen.
I love this album and listen to it quite often, especially to end the day and wind myself down before sleep. It does sound a little repetitive at times, which I don’t necessarily mind but I feel like there could’ve been more. Also, I get a 90’s feel for this album as well and I get put in this weird mood of nostalgia. 7/10 is reasonable but personally I’d have to give it a little bit higher rating since I listen to it so often. 9/10 👍🏼
Melon missed the boat a bit on this one (as he tends to do) - easily a 10/10.
i only heard this record in the last month and i cannot stop spinning it... what a perfect record.
This is awesome - Slide is my fav album from George, it's hard to rank with 100% & 200% but I'd say it fits right in between.
NEM/NEM
REVIEW IT AGAIN
Hell yes, George is a god
I'm so glad you reviewed this one, never expected you to do so
FINALLY, I was waiting for this review!!! 🙌🙌💙💙 George Clanton is a Mastermind!! 💙💙💙
more exposure for a fantastic artist
Who else checks in on the Melon, make sure he's happy, and then dips?
what kind of score is that, anthony? you deserve jail time for this offense. jk love you but hey this album really truly is near perfection for the mid-tempo pop it is! I get lost in the world of this album, and agreed with you about the moments of tie me down and dumb, they start a little "off" then blossom into intoxicating birds of paradise
glad youre giving that guy exposure. tie me down was a slapper.
a few tracks on this album are 10/10
which ones?
@@julioivanmaciascarrera9310 I think definitely You Lost Me There
@@drewbutler7500 what?
@@julioivanmaciascarrera9310 the song “you lost me there” from this album is 10/10 imo
@@drewbutler7500 Ahhh hahah.
Livin´Loose and Slide are my favorites
this, and then top 200 this decade? we need a rereview, melon!
Great album. Memorable. Walk Slowly is also a reprise of Livin' Loose, so 2 reprises, one long outro track, and one long intro track. At only 6 songs, it's too short! 8/10
This album grew so much on me over the years. This has become easily my favorite album of the 2010s.
10/10 REVIEW IT AGAIN
i remember the day this video dropped, got me into all of george's work. v thankful for music reviewers
slide is a 10
i'm still seething from this review
George Clanton makes some hits for sure. Love the dude.
Chocolate center with slightly crunchy shell, requires justice with a higher rating, because of the general quality of Suicide Bomber.
Why did no-one tell me about this album it is BEAUTIFUL
George Clanton has always been my favorite.
glad that fantano is finally realizing that vaporwave is the genre of our generation ~ !
When is cal' s new album dropping?
Fantano gave this a 7 (not a bad score) but gave Cowboy Carter an 8. I'm just saying the boy ain't right!
The Em hate is so strong he gave Encore as the least favorite track of this album.
"You lost me there" was an instant favorite from this one
Lmfao the intro is probably the best thing you’ve ever done
loved this album!
side note if you speed up 1 semitone they sound even better and less sleepy/laboured imo. particularly Monster, You Lost Me There, Bleed, Slide, Make It Forever and Walk Slowly.
This guy is a blessing to human race

This is the 157th review in 2018
My brain genunely thinks Cal and Anthony are two different people.
That intro is extremely funny
you will never see this but ''droning on into oblivion'' is actually superbly apt, poetic and accurate to describe that synth progression. thanks Anthony T a K e M e BACK to tHe 90's tAnNo
no way i did not expect a review of this. I love George Clanton so much.
Eminem's next diss track for the Melon *INCOMING*
Traplover7 em can't rap anymore
What's Up with that Post production "Esprit" at 1:07?
1:07 I heard that audio edit, Anthony. You ain't cheatin' nobody.
i think the whole narrative/message of the album was its strong point but this album also has sentimental value to me. maybe others don’t feel that pull but i thought it was very well written and heartfelt, terrifically and creatively sung for someone who’s vocals are, despite being unique, admittedly not his greatest strength.
How is You Lost Me There not in the favorite tracks? Smh
Have loved GC since Mirror Kisses - thnx for reviewing this one. Excited to hear GC’s future projects.
god damn, this is summer album of the summer two summers in a row.
Three!
ive never liked the lyrics on the album but i just love everything else such a great psychedelic summery album
my only gripe: far from innocuous, the intro to "Dumb" sets the mood perfectly
The best part of this album is the first 4 or 5 track run and EVERY SECOND is necessary. This is the problem with anthony... he never tripped. He doesn't get psychedelic songs that come with intentionally long builds and elaborate intros. It's really lame.
WOW! melon i never saw you reviewing something like this! I'm excited for more to come
so is it safe to say Tangerine Reef was too patrician for Fantano
HOLY FUCK, GEORGE GETTIN RECOGNIZED BY FANTANO? A GLORIOUS DAY
A whole new era for Melon! Thanks for the Clanton review!
100% electronics is a fucking classic. So is 200% electronica. And Virtua.zip. But his most easy to listen to record is definitely 100% or maybe slide but each of his projects should just be played start to finish I can't explain it but listen to then to see what j mean. Love this man.
slide is a 9........
It's a 10 out of 10, review it again
@@yungwappenlese yup
I remember when george clanton followed me on instagram, i didn't think much of it at the time
I would go probably a light 8, but I really enjoyed these thoughts and points! I am stoked to see you covered this and once again, had some very constructive and tangible and views on it! Loved this album and I am glad you enjoyed it as well!
Favourite album of 2018. UNDERRATED
