@@joaorelvas4372 the whole thing with sexy redd stems from the fact that its just a fun album with no concept or strong idea behind it. Compare it to a mess of a concept album like MBDTF, sexy redd is a lot more fun to listen to. All in all, its just fun playful trap.
@@swift_waterzyour brain is rotted. The flows are so bad on that album. The album is supposed to be dumb fun, but how is it fun to listen to the worst flows in the fucking game.
His rap was another edition to his artistry. He never really rapped after he blew up but when he did he fucked that shit up 🔥. Most of his shit had a lot of metal infused rap which isn’t for everyone 🤷♂️ he died before what 21? That kid had the world in his hands and his potential couldn’t and still can’t be ignored
Kinda sad that people hate on a positive review (sexy red) like why can’t we just be happy for her even if we disagree? And happy to see Fantano enjoying something
The same people who claim that Fantano's opinions are worthless are the same people who are obsessed by him. If you want to watch a bunch of out of context scores and write a reviewer off on that basis, then you're free to do so. But the point of a review is to challenge your preconceptions and to open you up to different things. A review, ideally, tells you a little bit of the surrounding context of the album and helps you to think about why you liked something and what exactly about it you liked, especially if the review strongly differs from yours. A review's merits should not be judged on the basis of a bunch of scores, but on how well-founded the opinion is. There have been plenty of times I've seen a review and completely disagreed with it while seeing where it comes from. What is the point of starting a crusade against a reviewer?
"woah woah woah Are you sayin we should think n shiiiit? Nah bro, sexy red trash, X was a god, well-ordered property and mathematical induction, MBDTF a 6, and other braindead observations" - The comments section
If there is one thing that I certainly respect about Melon, it is that he says it how he feels. Stupid review sites like Pitchfork just spew the easiest 8/10s and 9/10s, but when it comes to melon, it's from the heart.
I can't judge on a lot of these since rap isn't something I'm well versed in, but I definitely have some disagreements with Fantano >"Sea of Worry" by Have a Nice Life is not a 3 >"The Raven That Refused to Sing" by Steven Wilson is not a 5 >"The Turning Wheel" by Spelling is okay, but it's not a perfect 10
Nope he was clearly super talented. He was 20 when he died and had 2 very successful albums, that’s not common at all. His music was obviously going to grow and mature. He was praised by many of his peers too
Okay honestly everyone hated on WLR when it came out, so no one hates Fantano’s review at the time. Honestly, unlike most people, the album never grew on me
Anthony's opinions on XXXTentacion are some of the most "of the time" reviews I've seen. Back then, X was so controversial and discourse around him was so toxic that any and all mentions of him erupted into flame wars. The way he talks about him back then would be unfathomable today
First listen I would have agreed on yeezus but as time has gone on, my rating has only gone up now I’m almost 10/10 with how the music has aged. MBDTF rating from him is still just a fuckin joke, that was a masterpiece
Just because someone says an opinion doesnt mean everyone else must support it or respect it. If some ppl dont like your opinion, thats completely human.
There’s a reason every single clip starts with “I feel” it’s just bro’s opinion and it’s not more or less valid than anyones. If you feel you disagree with this guy often (Me) just don’t watch (also me why was this shit recommended).
@@daryoushz1 17 is shallow sad boy music with no substance, the only upsides of the album are the catchy hooks and nothing else. nearly every song on it feels like an unfinished afterthought transcribed into the context of a song, with any song breaking the 2 and a half minute mark sounding boring and needlessly repetitive. sexy red and lil pump are obviously trash music, but the problem with 17 is that the music is trash but everybody praises it. the amount of people praising sexy red and lil pump is far less than the amount for 17. and so what if kendrick lamar praised it? he isn’t god, he’s just an artist.
@@silentxwxlf Kendrick Lamar isn’t god and everyone has their own opinion but praise from your contemporary peers is significant and can’t be dismissed. I personally liked that the songs on 17 were short, but again each to their own. 17 has flaws but it very clearly highlights X’s singing ability and his creative ability merge genres, as well as raw emotions in lyrics. He was 18 when the album released so of course it had its flaws, but to call it trash is hyperbole.
How is Arca not on this?! Absolutely beautiful album with some near perfect songs with amazing singing, and he gave it a 5. A FIVE. That album is at least a 7, I'd say it's an 8. Easily his worst opinion for me.
Him giving Sexy Red's album a way higher score than Swimming and MBDTF really did hurt his credibility. I mean it's his opinion but opinions have to make sense
Crazy part is a lot of these reviews are accurate lol it’s just a matter of what you’re willing to forgive the artist for in each project.. some of these cannot be defended tho. Let’s be real EVERYBODY hated Yeezus when it came out, same as Birds Sing McKnight. Only in hindsight do we realize those were classics and tbh ppl still argue Birds to be mid His explanation of why both X’s album were extremely mid was accurate. His lyrical ability just wasn’t there (which was acceptable for his style), he was an amateur rapper still figuring his shit out so his music was generally underproduced and lazy half the time. Sound quality was horrible and the messages he portrayed were that of an angsty teenager still figuring out their emotions (which he quite literally was). Me and X were the same age and even I could see that back then. TLOP goes without saying, album was great on the surface upon release but it felt so unfinished and awkward before the rerelease. WLR?? Bro EVERYBODY hated this thing when it came out. Huge disappointment until months later we all went back to have a laugh only to realize it was the unfamiliarity that was throwing us off. Ahead it’s time, truly. Don’t know how 4 your eyez landed in this video cuz ppl are still saying that shits mid to this day. Keef had the same issue most trap artists today have. He found a sound he liked and stuck with it for a whole project. Ppl often act as if the few standout tracks in certain projects can carry an entire album. It’s just not true. Same reason lil baby & future landed in this video. I liked all 3 albums personally but I can admit they’re pretty mid due to monotony in reality. And let’s be absolutely fucking real here: Ken Carson & Destroy Lonely are complete ass. Every now and then they might strike gold in a song but it’s uslly only certain snippets at the most. I feel like Opiums cult following is moreso from their persona than their music. Either that or hip hop fans have lowered the standards to an unforgiving low.
Bro we're talking about a dude that looks like a school shooter despite being way beyond the age for that, and who also got a vasectomy. I don't think we're looking at a benchmark setter here.

specially sexy red
You have a weird, sad mind. Touch grass.
@@joaorelvas4372 the whole thing with sexy redd stems from the fact that its just a fun album with no concept or strong idea behind it. Compare it to a mess of a concept album like MBDTF, sexy redd is a lot more fun to listen to. All in all, its just fun playful trap.
@@swift_waterzyour brain is rotted. The flows are so bad on that album. The album is supposed to be dumb fun, but how is it fun to listen to the worst flows in the fucking game.
@@swift_waterzmess of a concept for MBDTF completely crazy
A 2 for Ultraviolence was crazy and it isn’t even in this vid 🧐
the fact it’s my favorite album of all time too 😭
The House of Ballons score is truly insane lol
rating a lil pump album higher than j cole...

Nah j cole is overrated as hell

I mean he does give his detailed opinion in all of his videos and judging quality based on artist name is pretty shallow imo

X was not a good rapper. Nothing against him personally but Fantano was right
W take, he was really overrated
His rap was another edition to his artistry. He never really rapped after he blew up but when he did he fucked that shit up 🔥. Most of his shit had a lot of metal infused rap which isn’t for everyone 🤷♂️ he died before what 21? That kid had the world in his hands and his potential couldn’t and still can’t be ignored
His old shit was fire tho

Kinda sad that people hate on a positive review (sexy red) like why can’t we just be happy for her even if we disagree? And happy to see Fantano enjoying something
sexxy red is the worst artist to ever exist
that album got an 8 cuz anthony wants to marry her
nah because he rates things that are so much better like Mbdtf lower than things that are just clearly not as good
atp people are just happy they now have a new number to type
he gave THIS a 6, but THAT an 8. He'll burn in hell...
He gave an 8 cause he wants to slide with her
How can someone miss out on so many classics and still be taken seriously?
AGC > HHP
the fact that in his head a fucking lil pump record is better than mbdtf is wild
A 6 is blatantly a positive score lmao
it's a positive score, so giving Acid Rap a 6 is honestly not an outrageous take
For most of braindead people, anything lower than 8 is considered bad.
Is that even what people are mad about? Lil Pump and sexyy redd got a higher score than TLOP, Mac Miller, MBDTF, WLR, and 2014 forest hills drive.
The same people who claim that Fantano's opinions are worthless are the same people who are obsessed by him. If you want to watch a bunch of out of context scores and write a reviewer off on that basis, then you're free to do so. But the point of a review is to challenge your preconceptions and to open you up to different things. A review, ideally, tells you a little bit of the surrounding context of the album and helps you to think about why you liked something and what exactly about it you liked, especially if the review strongly differs from yours. A review's merits should not be judged on the basis of a bunch of scores, but on how well-founded the opinion is. There have been plenty of times I've seen a review and completely disagreed with it while seeing where it comes from. What is the point of starting a crusade against a reviewer?
"woah woah woah
Are you sayin we should think n shiiiit?
Nah bro, sexy red trash, X was a god, well-ordered property and mathematical induction, MBDTF a 6, and other braindead observations"
- The comments section
If there is one thing that I certainly respect about Melon, it is that he says it how he feels. Stupid review sites like Pitchfork just spew the easiest 8/10s and 9/10s, but when it comes to melon, it's from the heart.
Yeah, but this really is annoying when he's genuinely wrong about some albums (This mf hates Kanye)
Oblivion Access by LUM got a light 5 with him calling LUM “edgy”. That fucking boils my blood right there.
his worst review imo, that album is amazing...
I do remember he praised mista thug isolation and wish he reviewed it so at least there’s that
I can't judge on a lot of these since rap isn't something I'm well versed in, but I definitely have some disagreements with Fantano
>"Sea of Worry" by Have a Nice Life is not a 3
>"The Raven That Refused to Sing" by Steven Wilson is not a 5
>"The Turning Wheel" by Spelling is okay, but it's not a perfect 10
X was overrated when he was alive, since his death it’s gone beyond obnoxious how much his music is overhyped
Nope he was clearly super talented. He was 20 when he died and had 2 very successful albums, that’s not common at all. His music was obviously going to grow and mature. He was praised by many of his peers too
My boa fishing for comments 😂 this comment not making you different bro
@@tonysoggybolognaog nah, I’ve always had this view. Never got the hype
@@daryoushz1he clearly had a lot of potential, but then again, he died way too young to do something truly phenomenal
@@gabsnandes7818 yeah I agree. Don’t think anyone says he was some global star but his discography displayed a lot of ability for someone his age
Okay honestly everyone hated on WLR when it came out, so no one hates Fantano’s review at the time. Honestly, unlike most people, the album never grew on me
I do agree the MTDF ends weak but a 6 nah I don’t agree lol
A light 6 on ds2 is outrageous it’s literally a perfect trap album
missed out the Home, Like NoPlace is There review
Unreviewable should be at the TOP of the list
Unreviewable 1 deserves it tbh
Mtdf < sexy red, is a NEFARIOUS take 💀
you forgot his review of THE OOZ by King Krule
I can't forgive him for the red light and come over when your sober pt 1 reviews
where is the infamous Red Light review ?
Framed on my wall because it is perfect
Anthony's opinions on XXXTentacion are some of the most "of the time" reviews I've seen. Back then, X was so controversial and discourse around him was so toxic that any and all mentions of him erupted into flame wars. The way he talks about him back then would be unfathomable today
Giving Worlds a 5 is insane....
First listen I would have agreed on yeezus but as time has gone on, my rating has only gone up now I’m almost 10/10 with how the music has aged. MBDTF rating from him is still just a fuckin joke, that was a masterpiece
the sexyred review is just more proof that fantano has pretty much lost it
if motm 2 was called man on the moon ii: the legend of growing hair he wouldve gave it a 10
he gave red light A "DECENT ONE" BTW
prolly cause it sucks
@@benjiusofficial I'm not even gonna try to start a conversation, get help young man
Ah yes classic internet getting outraged for someone’s opinion
Just because someone says an opinion doesnt mean everyone else must support it or respect it. If some ppl dont like your opinion, thats completely human.
There’s a reason every single clip starts with “I feel” it’s just bro’s opinion and it’s not more or less valid than anyones. If you feel you disagree with this guy often (Me) just don’t watch (also me why was this shit recommended).
Was waiting for Gambino's Because the Internet
I hated the 17 review my senior year when it dropped, nah, I get it now
You’ll come around again later
X's studio albums are some of his worst work but a 2 is still way too low imo.

@@JensonTM that’s crazy

It should be that, imo
whats the first album?
17 is valid though… that album is beyond overrated
Cringe, it’s 1000 times better than lil pumps and sexy redds album which he gave a 7 and 8. Kendrick Lamar praised it too
@@daryoushz1 17 is shallow sad boy music with no substance, the only upsides of the album are the catchy hooks and nothing else. nearly every song on it feels like an unfinished afterthought transcribed into the context of a song, with any song breaking the 2 and a half minute mark sounding boring and needlessly repetitive. sexy red and lil pump are obviously trash music, but the problem with 17 is that the music is trash but everybody praises it. the amount of people praising sexy red and lil pump is far less than the amount for 17. and so what if kendrick lamar praised it? he isn’t god, he’s just an artist.
@@silentxwxlf Kendrick Lamar isn’t god and everyone has their own opinion but praise from your contemporary peers is significant and can’t be dismissed. I personally liked that the songs on 17 were short, but again each to their own. 17 has flaws but it very clearly highlights X’s singing ability and his creative ability merge genres, as well as raw emotions in lyrics. He was 18 when the album released so of course it had its flaws, but to call it trash is hyperbole.
@@silentxwxlfwe not listening to the same 17 😂 you got dat old head mentality Joe Budden head ass
@@daryoushz1Nas put out illmatic when he was 19 bro you can’t use age as a excuse
How is Arca not on this?!
Absolutely beautiful album with some near perfect songs with amazing singing, and he gave it a 5. A FIVE.
That album is at least a 7, I'd say it's an 8. Easily his worst opinion for me.
that's just from hiphop tho
he has dismissed pop for over a decade until charli
nah. not at all true. not one bit.
Lmao what
Why are they hating on the 17 rating tho? That record was legit 2 at best
Him giving Sexy Red's album a way higher score than Swimming and MBDTF really did hurt his credibility. I mean it's his opinion but opinions have to make sense
They do make sense. Didn't you watch the reviews?
@@benjiusofficial I watched him drool over a caricature of a black woman that white guys love. That's what I saw.
bro thought pablo, 17, ?, mbdtf, yeezus, forest hill drive, and swimming were worse than fucking sexy redd?
I love how all of these are rap
Crazy part is a lot of these reviews are accurate lol it’s just a matter of what you’re willing to forgive the artist for in each project.. some of these cannot be defended tho.
Let’s be real EVERYBODY hated Yeezus when it came out, same as Birds Sing McKnight. Only in hindsight do we realize those were classics and tbh ppl still argue Birds to be mid
His explanation of why both X’s album were extremely mid was accurate. His lyrical ability just wasn’t there (which was acceptable for his style), he was an amateur rapper still figuring his shit out so his music was generally underproduced and lazy half the time. Sound quality was horrible and the messages he portrayed were that of an angsty teenager still figuring out their emotions (which he quite literally was). Me and X were the same age and even I could see that back then.
TLOP goes without saying, album was great on the surface upon release but it felt so unfinished and awkward before the rerelease.
WLR?? Bro EVERYBODY hated this thing when it came out. Huge disappointment until months later we all went back to have a laugh only to realize it was the unfamiliarity that was throwing us off. Ahead it’s time, truly.
Don’t know how 4 your eyez landed in this video cuz ppl are still saying that shits mid to this day.
Keef had the same issue most trap artists today have. He found a sound he liked and stuck with it for a whole project. Ppl often act as if the few standout tracks in certain projects can carry an entire album. It’s just not true. Same reason lil baby & future landed in this video. I liked all 3 albums personally but I can admit they’re pretty mid due to monotony in reality.
And let’s be absolutely fucking real here: Ken Carson & Destroy Lonely are complete ass. Every now and then they might strike gold in a song but it’s uslly only certain snippets at the most. I feel like Opiums cult following is moreso from their persona than their music. Either that or hip hop fans have lowered the standards to an unforgiving low.
