I've always found it weird that people think he stands and feel so mind-blown when they find out he's sitting.... Don't you think his legs would get tired standing for like 10-15 minutes?? And don't you think you'd see him shifting his weight back and forth on different legs? He's clearly just staying in one place. And for someone who talks with his hands a lot, it seems to me like he would pace a bit more if he was standing. And other times, he's swiveling back and forth, as if he's in a chair. Idk

This. In todays day and age it makes harder to separate music from the artist which in turn makes it harder to review an album from objective (or artistic?) stand point.
@@xstoofpeer yes that's true but when you love the artist (for the artist) then you don't like the music for just itself, but also for the artist's sake.
@suh You're absolutely correct, art cannot be judged objectively. I used the term "objective" loosely here, perhaps it would be correct to say: "review without preconceived notion".
Gothic Fishsticks Anthony’s a pretty big guy (in terms of height and muscle, not fat) so his fingers probably allow him to play bass easier than guitar.
@NGS King I love Band Geeks don’t get me wrong but almost everyone saying it’s the best episode has just gotten tiring at this point and I think that Idiot Box is a better overall episode, I’ll still admit that the ending of Band Geeks is easily one of the best moments in television history though
Melon, i enjoyed the video except for the part where you only took our hot takes, our unpopular opinions, our tough questions and you respond to the best ones. I think you can do better.
Technically it is a very annoying and nasal voice but its made up for how much charisma and personality he has and some of the inflections are so funny and weird.
Honestly Brockhampton fucking SUCKS. Im so fucking sick of anybody talking about Brockhampton at all. Brockhampton? More like Suckshampton. Fuck Brockhampton.
No. Just nope. Probably one of the most annoying sounding pop musicians ever. While I didnt mind him at first, with each subsequent single his falsetto became more and more excruciating to a point I demand the station to be changed whenever he comes on.
Hey Anthony! CEO of Miso Turkey Raft and just wanted to say thank you for pointing out how clear what our band name is actually short for. You're right, we did just remove the vowels! Thanks!
i know an artist named Nctrnm who can sometimes stir confusion along the lines of the MSTRKRFT-shorthanding-your-artist-name thing, and i try to tell them, that all it is is the originally spelled word(nocturnum) with the vowels taken out. SBTRKT did a similar thing.
It lived up to the hype for me, I knew how the album was gonna be, everyone thought it was going to be like 2016,17 uzi music but he was never aiming for that.
@@pepochomail8989 IDK, I don't think there is anything wrong with showcasing technicality in music. I just think doing a technique as a meme or exclusively/excessively using it as a means to show off. I just find that specific aspect of shred guitar grating and annoying. I thought that was a valid comparison to slapping.
4:30 I have more trouble in talking about M83 with people, do I say it in french (since they are from there) or german, because it's my mother tongue, or do I say it in english, since it's pretty easy, and maybe more recognisable ^^
Edit: this is in response to him asking why EA even had so much hype in the first place He had dropped one of the best trap songs of the decade, XO Tour Llif3 and he was coming off an album that was loved by the fans and different from his other work. Also Uzi had a rep for fast drops so when it got brought into the public eye 2.5 years ago the wait and lies ab when it's dropping, the delays, built up the hype so much for fans like me
hey melon, i recommend you check out "Is Everybody Going Crazy?" by Nothing But Thieves. i would personally enjoy seeing you review this track, even if it's not a positive review.
I absolutely love Uzi, and even though the album grew on me over the days and I’m still bumping it, I agree that EA isn’t very innovative and probably not something that will stand the test of time. For now, though, I’m enjoying it!
how dare you say that? Eternal is a masterpiece that has a lot of great-features, it took so much talent to come-up with something so unique yet so enjoyable personnaly my favorite feature is the flame-thrower, it really help staying in fight if you use it before glory-killing or using explosive weapons
It had a lot of hype which obviously set the expectations really high and i was worried ngl. But for me personally as an Uzi fan, he delivered on EA aswell as on LUV vs. The World 2. There are legitimately only 4 songs i don't like. I've listened to these projects since release and i am still not tired of it at the slightest. Last time this happened Denzel dropped TA13OO. Not saying that it is as good of a project lyrically or anything but its really good.
Yes it did, we call this astroworld syndrome where everyone hypes it up because they’re rappers and rap fans overhype everything anyways so add additional hype to that and bingo now every anticipated rap project has unreasonable expectations to fulfill whether it actually ends up being good or not because they’re always worse relative to expectations
Александър Карамитов I mean I heard a lot of people calling it the best album of all time before it was released so we must’ve seen different levels of hype, I think it’s a great album but definitely not goat status

PVRIS actually wanted to name their band PARIS, but couldn't get the copyright for it so they spell it PVRIS. It's still pronounced "paris."
