Y'all know this is just my opinion, right? - เพลง
Don’t forget to thank him
That isnt a very funny meme, Mr Krabs...
kanimo24 come back when you’ve hosted the Komedy Krab
Big McThankies from McSpanky’s
Thank you mr bus driver
Remember kids, Vsauce Michael always thanks the bus driver.
Thank you Based God
Congratulations you thanked the bus driver and received the best bus driver thank award!
ALWAYS THANK THE BUS DRIVER
literally came for this comment
Vessel to*
no for idiot
Vessel No you *came to* this comment, dont lie
Are you quoting versatile?
I have to disagree. This is one of the best records I’ve heard this year. It’s different from his early music but that shouldn’t take away from it. I’m more upset with a 6 minute review than the 5 score. This completely changed my view in my taste of music. It’s a great fusion of rap and jazz, some of the messages might be awful, but the guy makes great music. He falls short on some things but makes up for it with the flow. I agree completely this album could cut some shit out but I still loved this thing man.
AGREED! Though I believe the messages weresupposed to be ''awful'' showing the irony between entertainment and lifestyle.
THANK YOU!!!! Yeah, this Fantano rating… NOT GOOD
I think you'll find this album much more disturbing if you listen to the hidden track at the end of perfect hair.
I agree wholeheartedly
@@matthewhaggerty7963 what do you mean by that?
I was gonna make an "always thank the bus driver" joke, but it turns out that's literally every comment.
Well I mean, you have to thank him.
*Thankthony*
*Bustano*
Here
Electricity is not on your side
You wear the red flannel but it’s only a 5.
Yata thought it was only 4 and lower lol
Yata 6-7 is orange
Mayham beats He needs a yellow flannel
THE SUPER VEGETA he does have a yellow flannel!
0-5 red
6 - orange
7-10 yellow
1:33 I think you think "syncopation" means the exact opposite of what it actually means lol.
Filip K ya not so sure bout that one Ant’ny
Being in sync is what he means.
Thanks for pointing this out.
Syncopation is def different
Damn you just put Busdriver’s name in your death note 😯
Dann Vixm LIGHThany YAGAMItano here
An 80-minute album gets a 7-minute review that's nearly two months late?
It's Busdriver
the album is amazing too he only gave it a 5…
Noooo. not the red flannel.. this is Busdriver Melon. how could you?
aye we need some more Open Mike Eagle and Busdriver collabs
Untitled Name Gang Open Mike Eagle is the GOAT
cant see OME colabbing with driver after the allegations
Joey Phelan what do you mean
Busdriver has been accused of sexual assault
Ezequiel Renovato oh shit...
Gonna have to respectfully disagree with you on this one Tony. One of my favorite rap records of the year.
Nucc yes
It’s AOTY
This asshole gave that trash kanye album a 10 though
Hot Dog eh, it's not trash at all. But it's just not that exciting
It's probably my second least favourite Busdriver album ever (my least favourite being Beaus$Eros and my favourite being Jhelli Beam)
Also saying that Memoirs Of The Elephant Man is really good and exciting seems to be a very contreversial opinion
Big fat respectful disagree on this one. Really vibed with this album tbh.
But every thing he said was super valid. Some of those bars are trash with a silly delivery. His singing really does get old after an hour. If he had edited the album and only kept the solid parts, I'd agree.
seymourglass26 Different strokes I guess
It’s a no skip album. He had valid points, but I loved it from front to back.
he said towards the end that he can see how a heavy driver fan could love this album
yeah this album is literally so amazing
It was a day like any other. Anthony Fantano, the Internet’s busiest music nerd, was hard at work listening to music that he was to review. It was sunny, and slightly humid, so he had left his shirt off for the day. His girlfriend was dealing with an emergency at work.
But all of a sudden, Anthony heard a knock at his door. His muscles rippled as he got up from his desk chair. He slowly walked to the door… He saw a dark silhouette through the window.
“I wonder who that could be…?” Anthony wondered.
He slowly opened the door. And, to his great surprise, his biggest idol was standing before him… MC Ride. Or as his friends call him, Stefan. MC Ride peeked in the doorway, and said,
“H-hey… um I don’t know if you know me… b-but I’m in a band and our van broke down about a half mile back… I w-was hoping you had some tools laying around…”
Now, although Anthony had always loved Death Grips and their music, he tried to play it cool. After all, he kind of had a crush on Stefan ever since he heard his voice on Beware. Luckily, Anthony had a big shed in his back yard full of his dad’s old mechanic tools.
Anthony smiled, and replied, “Sure… I recognize you. What band again? Deaf grapes or something?”
“N-no… Death Grips…” answered MC Ride.
Anthony laughed. “ha-ha, that’s right! just come on in! I could definitely give you a tool to use…”
He led MC Ride to his back yard. On the way, He could feel Ride’s gaze on him. He wondered if he liked what he saw. He opened the door to the shed, and Ride quickly shuffled in to grab what he needed.
“He’s even cuter in real life…” Thought Anthony.
On the way back, Anthony hastily offered Ride a beer.
“Hey man, want to have a beer? You seem like a cool dude.”
“Well… Zach and Andy are waiting for me… but I guess a quick beer wouldn’t hurt I guess.” Mumbled Ride.
At first, they sat awkwardly in Fantano’s living room. But then they started talking about Death Grips and other music. They were soon off on a riveting conversation.
After a while, Anthony said; “hey… I haven’t really been honest with you Stefan… Can I call you that? To tell the truth, I know a lot about Death Grips. I’m pretty much your biggest fan.”
“Ha-ha… Yes I know… and I have to confess something too. I watch almost all of your video reviews. Y-you could say that I’m your biggest fan.”
Anthony then did something very risky. He laid his hand on Stefan’s leg, right above the knee. Their eyes met, and the next thing Anthony knew, their lips were locked and they were lying on the couch together.
“Can Andy and Zach wait?” asked Anthony.
Ride’s response was to continue kissing him. They made out like this for a few minutes, and then Ride started slowly moving down to Anthony’s private area, kissing his beautiful chest on the way down.
“Please” whispered Anthony.
MC Ride slowly unbuttoned Anthony’s black shorts. Anthony’s rock hard penis sprang up, and MC Ride started sucking it off. It was the best blowjob of Anthony’s life. Far better than any blowjob his girlfriend had ever given him. The way Stefan’s tongue moved… it was amazing.
“Ohhhh Stefan… I think I want you to do the nasty in my taxi!” yelled Anthony.
“I AM THE BEAST YOU WORSHIP” replied MC Ride as he took Anthony’s cock out of his mouth.
Anthony bent over on the couch, and got on his knees. Ride undid his all-black jeans, and revealed his lengthy penis. He started to put his throbbing penis into Anthony’s butt, when all of a sudden,
“IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES YUUHHHH!!!!!”
“Oh my God!!” screamed Anthony. “You get-get-get-get got-got-got-got it in!”
MC Ride wasn’t a tender lover. He pumped and pumped until finally, in euphoria, he came inside of Anthony’s butt. He withdrew, exhausted, and laid down next to Anthony, who had reached orgasm as well.
“H-how was it?” Asked Stefan.
“you’re good…” Whispered Anthony. Whispered Anthony. “I liked your lovemaking. I would give you a strong six, light seven.”
Ah you had me right up until the end when he called a strong 6 good
Also why did I spend the 5 fucking minutes it took to read that abhorrent example of fanfiction and shit posting combined
5's should be Orange flannel imo
Yeah stop misleading us Anthony
U sure know better
Giving him a 5 isn’t really thanking the bus driver
Anthony didn't say thank you to this Bus Driver >:(
Maybe you should thank this guy
You have good taste in anime
Welcome to NHK?
maybe?
Love this album. Might be the most jazzy rap album I've ever heard, like holy shit. It's so varied, so insane, so fun. Haven't really gotten too much into the lyrics yet, but the sound is amazing to me
Thank you for reviewing this; it'd been out for a while and I'd been craving your thoughts. Bloated as it may be, there are still some wonderful tracks here.
I actually love Busdriver's singing tbh
Oh shit. Red flannel on a Busdriver album? He's he really hit a bumpy road on this one...
Get it? Cuz his name is Busdriver?...
I'll show myself out.
stay.
Holy Lord leave.
Thank him on the way out....
😂
It's actually one of my favorite albums of all time, lol. Great, indirect messages of individualism.
JIL, a psychedelic electronic soul group from NYC just dropped their debut album, "Emotional Heat 4A Cold Generation." Absolutely incredible
Alexander Heifetz worst title but the album was pretty good. Had some highs and some lows.
Myke C town and Ken liked this so your wrong
Ebbtide42 if Myke and Ken agrees I’m on board.
@@kaingates lol
Did you thank the bussdriver?
4:03
“What they hear from me
Would make 'em highlight my simplest lines
I'm talkin' fear”
sad, this was probably my favorite busdriver album...
Anyone else remember Imaginary Places on Tony Hawk's Underground
Gracias senior conductor de autobùs
Please listen to anything by Milky Chance. They've got a huge following, millions of monthly streams, and I personal really enjoy their music. In all honesty I'm surprised you haven't reviewed anything by them yet, but yeah. I think they're good, but I would still love to hear what you have to say about them.
I saw that subtle bebop reference you did there
how do you literally always make me laugh with ur intros
but Die Lit and Lil Boat 2 are 7s lol
Is there a chance you could look at any of the Empire of the Sun albums? They've made some pretty clingy synth-pop over the years with some of the best licks I've heard in the pop industry and I think it would be interesting to hear you talk about them.
I knew you would not like this, but this is the best album ever
You should review DenRock's "Scratching the Surface" or/and his freshman release "Back 2 the Essence". I have come to really appreciate your critiques and find you mostly spot on on your assessments of music. I've also been exposed to some great albums that I would likely have never encountered watching your channel. Thank you. Hope you have the time to check him out- I think it's DOPE.
You will be remembered for giving Busdriver's magnum opus a 5.
lmao
See busdriver's music falls under 2 categorys shit is too weird and it's weird but it bops
Came in to make the joke that everyone made already.
DID YOU THANK HIM
The single very on influenced by Myka 9 / Freestyle Fellowship- Park Bench People
my favorite reviews from my favorite melon.
Disagree with the rating...I think melon flannel death boi sometimes comes into listening to fresh albums with the wrong frame of mind sometimes...this album was no exception.
Electricity is on our side is a top tier album. Very forward thinking, and I hope that other musicians take note of his creative flow, and seemingly fearless approach to throwing things into his songs.
Could you review Addendum by John Maus please, Melon Man? I need to hear more about him, because I feel that he's underrated due to his bizarre music composition that most people will first hear and think it's TOO out there. He's just a genius that makes music beyond the norm and that is what I like about him.
Good review melon, Very cool
I actually really loved this album.
I love me a red flannel review
Forgot about perfect hair, pretty solid record, might revisit it
Review Clouddead’s “Ten”. Such a classic that I’m sure was influential for art rapers like busdriver
I sure hope bus drivers isn't a raper that would be awful
I´d love to get your take on Puertorican origin band Balún -Prisma Tropical
Thoughts on 1010 Benja SL? Only two tracks out right now, Wind up space and Boofiness but man I'm amazed he's getting slept on. I implore everyone to check out these tracks!
what you should you review next is Chris Orrick - Portraits.
Year I became a mutherfuckin g goes so hard
I going to have to disagree. This album was great.
thank you fantano, very cool!
Thumbnail had me thinking this was going to be a light 2
Why red flannel for a 5/10?
*Thanks man*
Next stop: NOT GOOD
horney dad57 thank you for telling us!
Thank you Busdriver, very cool 😎
Damn. Never thought I would see the day. A red plaid shirt on a Busdriver album. :-(
It is a very tough album to listen to, I can admit that. Honestly, I stopped after "Me vs Me" which is both the best song and midway point. It is a very long, very zany and very *atmospheric* album (ala Kid Koala - Music to Draw To). It is no Fear of a Black Tangent, but it does try its damndest to experiment by merging electronic trip-hop with clubhouse jazz.
Man Anthony, a lot of Red Shirt Albums out this year, eh?
Did you thank the Busdriver when you finished the album?
"oh no..."
gonna have to hit ya with the *_S T R O N G D I S A G R E E_*
What happened to that guy with the DSOTM pfp who listed the review stats for the year?
Why are all the top comments unfunny jokes by people that obviously don't know who Busdriver even is
A lot of favourites tracks for an album with a 5
I found out about busdriver through the phoon fragclip movie.
When you don’t thank the bus driver
Since when is a 5/10 a red flanel?
VERY MUCH THANKS
Not hip to Busdriver but this description is very interesting....
Anyone know how I could get in contact with this artist? I need to thank them.
Jimmy Weeks Sacrifice virgins
Haven’t heard it yet, but this sounds fair. Love driver
Why no orange flannel?
Don’t forget that new clipping. Album
well that's better than what i expected you to give it
Didn't even know this dude still made music. Nice
I read some of the comments on your video and I noticed the people calling melon I really hope you don't think it's an insult in case you happen to read this
Wheres hive mind
TEETH NOTE
To be honest it sounds like you actually don't understand the music for this one. You also just sorta take for granted the talent and songwriting on the album, dismissing it as "complex".
That being said, I'm glad you actually took a shot at reviewing it since this album deserves more exposure.
Review the new Wand EP.
Damn the red flannel man?
Do a review on Royce da 5'9 Book of Ryan album . Rap album of the year to me
anybody listening to his first albums Memoirs of the Elephant Man
& This Machine Kills Fashion Tips ?
Don´t than please do that !!!
2:10 he is on a green screen???? I always thought he was in the actual room lmao
Review 88rising - Head in the clouds
Where's that rolling papers 2 review?
>death note
so that's how you killed peep, chester and tentacion huh? knew it.
THANK YOU
Hello mr. Melon I'm new to channel I like what you do I just want to know if you would be willing to give a review on an indie rapper known as Oddisee I like his music and I would love to hear what you think about it
Hey, could you review YUNGBLUD's 21st Century Liability? It's a social commentary soaked rap album with alt rock elements.
Love the nardwaar vinyl
Only three years since Thumbs though.
With the intro I thought this would be a 1/10 lmao
Came hear just to leave a busdriver comment, but i guess i'm too late.
But still: Thank you Mr Busdriver
Hey needle do a review for potato salad- wangsap!
