- This is my reaction to Anthony Fantano / TheNeedleDrop's review of my latest project "SCRAPYARD." This is such a full circle moment for me and for those who have been following my music for a while so I figured I had to stop by the youtubes and give yall a little vid :)

Quadeca - Scrapyard ALBUM REVIEW
• Quadeca - Scrapyard MI...
Technically, if Quadeca has not released a direct-to-camera youtube video in 2 years, then he cannot be considered a youtube rapper. However, once the seal is broken, he is then legally binded to be categorised as a "youtube rapper" again.

Hey man. Glad you’re back. I am really sad you have given up on those TH-cam raps. Not crazy about the new hippy music you are making. Would love for you to collaborate with up and coming rapper Tom Macdonald 🙏 thanks homie
Finally something I can stand behind. Scrapyard? More like Crapyard
Tom Macdonald 😭
Did he respond to your messages though brad?
please collab with Tom he’s the number one independent rapper in the world (he said so himself)
Poop? Presenting original unlistenable musiccc
Thank you Riley John savage for getting way to many friends on the record
Im meeting him at the Philly show, gotta thank him in person
Wait… quadonka knows Tony hawks nephew!?

hi kwite
youre so right kwiter

Last time I was listening to quadeca and joji everyday I was also watching your content bruh when did you fall off?
Hi kawiti
I get it Quad, I was upset too whenever Fantano spent the entire review saying you've fallen off since Wii Music Fire

if quadeca went from a 5 to a 7 to a 9, that only means that the next one gonna be a 11

The tragedy?
if scrapyard was better than idmthy, that means if you release a scrapyard of the songs that were cut from scrapyard, it will be better than scrapyard. easy 10
If it was called to pimp a scrapyard it would be 10/10
HOLY SHIT QUADECA IS BACK! The world is healing :)
It's so lovely to have seen you come so far Ben. I truly hope it's only further up from here ❤
hype to see u on hivemind :)
meet the weavers was too far.

That's what I've been SAYING about scrapyard vs IDMTHY. I prefer IDMTHY because it feels more otherworldly and the tracks feel fuller (like bigger scope) like IDMTHY is your magnum opus masterpiece but then scrapyard is more like a collage of lots of little masterpieces that were left over
same feelings :)
That’s why it’s called scrapyard
I do agree with fantano that haunt you feels less consistent in terms of track quality
I feel like the bigger scope is why I don’t like IDMTHY as much as Scrapyard. It’s good but it’s not something that I’ll relisten to a lot, the sound can be almost draining with how grand it is. With Scrapyard I get all of these amazing ideas, emotions sounds, and risk in a more digestible and consistent project. I also just generally can relate to more of what he’s talking about on Scrapyard. It’s an album that I think I will always be able to go back to and enjoy, it’s addicting to listen to. Also like with Quadeca said is just more fun and easier to listen to
I feel like scrapyard has more like songs? I feel like idmthy has way more interludes than lyrical songs. I think the like only lyrical songs on idmthy are born yesterday, tell me a joke, knots, fantasyworld, and cassani division. Idk maybe thats just me but thats my opinion
The actual improvement Quadece has had from like 2019 to now is CRAAAZZYYY
Bad internet rapper --- Voice memos and Voice memos --- From me to you was the craziest double level up
@@JoaquinStubbs-ur4mkvoice memos is still my shit
@to_ It's a good album, it's when he actually started to tap into his authentic self to make music, it's just he didn't have all the insane production chops he does now. He's also maturing, you can hear it. That's a sign of a great artist - you think nothing can be better than what they put out, until the next thing just is.
I guess you can say Quadeca is “Back by Popular Demand”
He needs to drop that
He needed to release that on all streaming services
let me get my dior dior jacket
I love that "We made you" reference
the part at 8:40 ish where u talk abt gaze being applied to more than just guitars, genuinely got me hyped for whatever way u decide to explore that in your next album, like just imagine the possibilities

I have been here since out of order it’s been so awesome to see the growth. Genuinely couldn’t describe the excitement!
You’re an inspiration man. I made music as a middle schooler and high schooler and was bullied mercilessly over it, even though I’m 20 now I still carry that negative voice in the back of my head that says there’s no point in trying. Seeing you get to where you’re at now makes me feel like with enough hard work I can make something that can touch other people in a positive way
You got this bro
@@isskaymakesvideos I appreciate that 🙏🙏🙏💙
Don't worry, just focus on making your craft better and better. Perhaps you can grow to produce something really amazing. Just stay determined and passionate. May God bless you on your journey brother
@@bossini435 I appreciate the kind words🙏🙏🙏💙 I’ve been doing all I can to push myself further creatively every day so hopefully if I keep it up I can continue to grow
@@dstopianmusic hard work pays off remember
i think haunt you is better too. but i think why fantano and other people probably rated it higher is because it’s more palatable and easier to digest than some of the heart wrenching soundscapes of haunt you. its been so amazing to see you grow since voice memos keep it up goat 🐐
Nah, I don’t think it’s that. Fantano clearly doesn’t have a problem with heart wrenching (see Lingua Ignota lol)
@@juliusseizure591 im not saying the heart wrenching soundscapes n lyrics are an issue but it’s more so easier and fun to listen to scrapyard than haunt you
Or maybe cuz he liked it more 🤔🤔🤔
@@SilentPhoenix__ ya im just theorizing as to WHY he and others mightve rated it higher
He rated scrapyard higher because in his opinion idmthy had some weaker songs on it, while scrap yard stayed consistent
Quad used to talk about how getting a 7 from the melon was all he wanted to achieve as a musician. He must be feelin pretty good about himself. He deserves to
I honestly don't think it's possible for you to be considered a "youtube rapper" ever again. You've just progressed too much. That being said, you should continue making videos like this so I can keep looking at your beautiful face 💪
fr
😂
i was WAITING to see his reaction since i saw the review, i knew hed be gassed about the 9 😭
The first Quadeca youtube content in 2 years is about Fantano giving him a 9, what a legend
20:33 Can confirm. Genuinely didn't know anything about you before I saw the Scrapyard review, listened to the album, and now you've got yourself another fan. The Fantano bump is real! XD
join us🔪

listen to war ft. dax. its peak quadeca
😭😭😭@@ayobruh5593
@@ayobruh5593 at first I thought you might've been fuckin' with me, but then the verse kicked in and maaaan the flow!
I'm with you 1000% quad. I honestly thought IDMTHY was a 10, scrap was a 7 or 8. Concept, palatability, instrumentation, lyrics, and everything. Just about everything was 2 or 3 points better on IDMTHY. He's high
Not to say I don't like scrapyard. It's dope. I like how weird you got with it. Personally I prefer it when your vocals are mixed more traditionally so they sit at the front of the track but it's a great album personal preference aside
@@jacobs9391 I think the concept of idmthy was excellently pulled off from a lyrical writing stand point. The production is also incredible. But scrapyard in terms of just sheer enjoyability imo is better and the production seems much more creative and impressive. Also it’s important to mention that fantano rates things based on what they are presented to be and what they are trying to accomplish. If quad slapped the title “vanisher” on scrapyard and called it a concept album he would probably give a 3. But since it was presented as a mixtape and thus more of a compilation of songs rather than a concept album like idmthy, it’s a 9 in the context of a mixtape.
@@jacobs9391 and also the production and instrumentation on every single one of the scrapyard tracks is better than even the best produced idmthy tracks. and keep in mind I love every track on idmthy.
2:03 I personally liked Scrapyard more too ngl. IDMTHY is a more cohesive project, but certain moments (for me) dragged on a little or there were a few places I didn't love the sound. I really enjoyed every song on Scrapyard.. although obviously I really like both.
I don't mind if Scrapyard is your fav album from him
However it feels kinda missing something on scrapyard
Still it's his one of the best album from him
I might have agreed with you on first listen, but IDMTHY grew on me so much and it all clicks for me now
@@prodigion1 THATS WHAT IM SAYING
Also mind if I gave u this new artist
He is a mumble rapper but also a good melodic rapper
Would u try to listen to
Deko
?
:)
@@prodigion1 idmthy grew on me immensely as well, but scrapyard for me was a 9 on first listen and has only grown on me since then. Idmthy is probably about 8.8 to a 9 but honestly scrapyard is inching closer and closer to a 10 with each time I listen to it.
I mean its a classic thing with a lot of art, someone will put a lot of effort into something and get a decent response, then they’ll release something they never thought would be big and its seen as a masterpiece
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE THE REVIEW DROPPED SO PROUD OF EVERYTHING YOUVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHING QUAD!!
QUAD DID,THE NEXT ONE IS GONNA BE AN 11
A regular Quadingle video in the first time in forever about Melon giving his review
YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A 10 IF IT WAS CALLED TO PIMP A SCRAPYARD 😭😭
I think Haunt You is better too but i get it,i get why people liked it more-- shit is amazing & easier to digest than the absolute genius of IDMTHY 🐐🐐
WE ARE SO BACK ❗️🔥
Texas blue is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever heard, thank you releasing these songs
The thing I like about Fantano, even if a lot of the time I disagree with his final rating, is that you always know it's his own personal experience with the record, and he expects you to have different thoughts about the stuff he reviews.
Also, once you get a feel for what he likes, you can pretty easily tell how you're going to enjoy something based on his review. He'll talk about how something is too poppy or corny or something like that, then give it a 7 overall and you'll know that for your tastes it'll be a 9 (because you love corny poppy stuff) or actually just a 5 (because that stuff really tanks an album for you).
You're right, in that the last album is probably the better one, and should probably receive the higher score, but that's not Melon's taste, and at least he's honest about it.
GUESS WHO! WENT THREE YEARS SINCE POSTING AND IS BACK UPON MY FEED
GUESS WHO! IS GIVING ME THE W QUADINGLE CONTENT I NEEEED

corny asl
Been a silent off and on viewer since 2018, was in 7th grade then, a freshman in college now. Incredible mixtape and I can’t wait till the next album.
8:31 Quad's homophobic arc begins
/ mega ally arc
When you dapped me up for being a Logic Pro user, that was real.
I LIKE TO HIDE A LITTLE LESS
I LIKE TO CRY A LITTLE MORE
Fav on the album fr
Seeing this mans face after crying to his album makes me think, look at him bro how's he made me rethink my life? Hahaha love you ben x
No, I don’t listen to albums on shuffle. That’s a crime.
Quad I still remember hearing you speak in that squadeca discord server like 3 years ago to others like me and my friend who put me on to your shit and I have to say I knew from the advice you were giving us fans that you’d some day be getting the recognition you deserved. recently I haven’t been as tapped in to your music as I should be, but you got me through quarantine with fmty and Idmthy was an absolute masterpiece and I fucking love how far you’ve come bro. Keep it up I fw you.
Calling Quadeca a yt rapper is almost like calling Joji a yt rapper
Can't believe quadeca got a 7 and then made an unreviewable album straight after. Quadrupled fell off tbh
I remember receiving that Quadeca FMTY poster with the QR code for Being Yourself and being absolutely awestruck at the new weird and interesting ideas quadratic formula was experimenting with. Quonka Did.
no way man's already making a new one, I guess being with dignan does inspire a lot of dark and depdessing materials
Fucking hell, i remember back when Quadeca was "beefing" with KSI & FIFA videos hahahah, crazy to see the progression now, SCRAPYARD is amazing.
Crazy to see how far you've come. Been following you and listening to your music since the first style of rap video. SO PROUD OF YOU KEEP IT UP BEN
Thanks for reading my comment, QUAD DID
QUAD DID
The album was scattered yet organized
abrasive yet gentle
Quadeca is my favorit TH-cam alternative, experimental, ambient, folktronica with a hint of hip hop thats a singer songwriter producer artist:) I loved Wii music fire and cant wait for the second song he ever make!
Honestly people act like Melon is just a guy and to some extent that's true, but given his longevity in the public eye and relationship with the music industry itself a Fantano strong 9 is a prestigious thing to be proud of. Quad has grown so much as an artist and I'm here for it, congratulations and here's hoping for good things in the future for him
Yeah, it’s kind of like hating on Rotten Tomatoes, so many people hate them, but at the end of the day, everyone goes to check out the scores
Calling him "Tony" is just an extra level of baller. Good work bro
dude i’m so so proud of how far you’ve come! i’ve been a fan for years and years and finally seeing a 9 for a quad album makes me so happy! you did it king
Ngl hivemind converted me to a quadeca fangirl
can you release voice memos 2 with crypt and dax and joey nato on the production? As a long time fan would love and appreciate!
can’t tell if this is satire or nah 😭
@@nomeca961 its satire dw
I would burn my house down from pure cringe if that happened
Crypt and Joey don’t even react to Quadeca no more. They saw how much he improved and stopped caring about my boy
damn i remember when i would watch quad videos 7 years ago reacting to his football matches with jonny zizou lmaoo im so proud of you we’ve really seen you do it all
After time, Scrapyard has solidified as my favourite release of yours. Fully understand the idea of a closer attachment to IDMTHY as a more fully conceived creative concept, but I genuinely think the pacing and emotive journey of Scrapyard is just as impactful from a material point of view. Plus since many of the songs are still so well fleshed out (and likely catchier maybe), I’m loving this collection of tracks a lil bit more now ❤
omg shoutout riley. way too many friends is so catchy
i’ve been subbed to you since insecure and its crazy to me how as my music taste has evolved as i’ve gotten older you’ve evolved and expanded my music taste as well.. i’m constantly not suprised but impressed by the quality of work that you’ve been able to produced and it makes me so happy to see you get your flowers for the work you’ve put it
Scrapyard is easily my favorite project you've made I'm obsessed. Idmthy works as a cohesive album better probably, but song for song Scrapyard wins easy. Each song feels unique and conceptual and is produced ao fuckin well. There's some songs that arent for me but I still think those are great too.
Gotta be honest, never heard of you before this review came out and then I listened and became a huge fan and suddenly me recommended was full of hivemind videos with you in it
"I'm not a good guitar player, I'm just good at making guitar sound good" resonates so hard with me. It's such a good summation of how I feel about my own playing and song writing. I can't shred or anything but once the whole arrangement is put together I'm always pretty proud of my work. Shout out to all the mid guitar bois just making the most of what they've got and still getting light 9s 🙌
i completely agree on idmthy being better since the concept/lore of the album brought so much emotion and life to it
p.s
i also think scrapyard is amazing and I absolutely love it
Fantano was wrong about one thing: Quadeca’s growth as an artist has not been surprising at all. We were saying this guy is gonna be a great artist in 2018. It waa pretty obvious if you were paying attention.
Considering how most TH-cam artists were, Poppy being an exceptions with an 8/10, whenever a TH-cam artist creates something that doesn’t feel like you need to know the TH-camr to feel attached is genuinely crazy
Congrats Quad. To see a person (let alone an artist I've been following for a while) succeeding at what they love is awesome and oddly emotional.
I never gave your music proper attention until seeing the 9/10 in the description. I was reluctant to check it out because I don't wanna admit how much influence fantano has over me, but I loved it and am hyped to give Haunt You a listen
Would you ever consider doing production breakdowns of your songs?
guide dog hits so hard its unreal. this mixtape is sooo good and you should be proud of your work, you evolved so much. keep it up!!!!
I have yet to listen to your last 2 albums just because FMTY really changed my life and i haven't had the need to continue listening yet. Keep being the GOAT Quad.
i am in awe that quadbike has posted a yt video for the first time in 20 years. we need wii music fire 2, beamin 2 (with quackity), whatnot, and the iggy feature. once you accomplish all of those musical feats i like to believe that you will come back and do videos with crypt for the rest of your career.
From someone who got into your stuff after the IDMTHY review from fantano, you are truly inspiring. Your momentum as a creative is insane and I can't wait to see what you got cooking up
had to grab haunt you on wax after stumbling on easier then subsequently IDMTHY. will definitely keep an eye on your releases going fwd. :~)
WAY TOO MANY FRIENDS is my favorite song on the entire mixtape, it’s hard to believe you had to be convinced to put it on!
Riley from Hivemind truly had to put his whole Rilussy out to convince Quad to drop Way Too Many Friends
When he said "all my logic pro users bring it in", I felt that. All my friends hate logic pro. Thank you Quad
I'm so interested in seeing quads creative process. Even him just goofing around in his DAW would be a bible to me.
Make what you want my guy.
We’ll always love the TH-cam but you’re delivering such good music we’re more than satisfied.
Proud of the progress
I love to see it! I can’t believe after all these years you’re still putting out amazing music! I remember listening to “who would’ve thought” over and over again and refreshing for hours on end for voice memos to come out! Genuinely one of the best artists out there!
I just started listening to your stuff but based on Scrapyard alone I feel like the score is deserved. Very creative, beautiful and out there music.
This album is shocking and really good. I had no idea you were a TH-camr until I looked for music videos. This album is really goood dude. I can’t even believe you were once a rapper. This is so much more significant than rapping imo
I mean… no.. rapping is very much significant. Some of the greatest records of the last 35 years have been hip hop
been here before voice memos and i dont think im ever leaving great stuff cant wait for the album
MAKE IT LOWER IS CRAZY
I was literally just singing Quadeca’s MGK style of rap to myself. That could have been its own hit for sure. Nice to see him back
Listened to scrapyard after the review, and was seriously blown away. I listen to a wide array of genres, and consider myself a pretty devoted ”music listener”, and with scrapyard I’m just infatuated with the sounds, progression, performance and attention to detail these songs have.
QUAD DID
Quadeca is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.
Yeah dude, Guide dog is fucking unbelievable.
Guide dog texas blue, easier, pretty, dustcutter are my favs
VANISHER IS GONNA BE PEAK

Patiently waiting for
THANK YOU RILEY!
dude i love your music but i got to say its good to see you on youtube again. keep making dope music!
Dude I love how connected to the community Quadrilateral still is amidst his success. I feel like that’s important for an artist to have and I hope Quadinkle continues to do stuff like this.
NO WAY QUADECA TH-cam VIDEO LETS GO
I’m actually with you, Pretty Privilege really emotionally hit something for me.
i just listen to quad on soundcloud so i thought being yourself was just a ep he put out
quadeca i love you, you make good songs and it inspires me
