For the “how can I go to a concert if my parents won’t let me” - my good friend wanted to go to a metal concert in high school and his religious parents objected every time. Until he told them he was going to see a Christian artist, Lamb of God. Parents amazingly didn’t bother to look them up, and he brought a set of clothes to change into to the concert.
classic
genius
Parents should've disowned their son for having shit taste in metal
Be a Swedish teen in the mid nineties. Have chilaxed leftish parents. Apply fucked up clothes, mohawk and a girlfriend with too much make up. And a bottle of kids booze like Jäger. Profit? Where was I going with this.
Reminds me of the redneck music vid
White rappers are sith. Only 2 can exist at any one time and one of them has to be the master (a veteran rapper, an old head) and one must be an apprentice (an up and comer, trying something new). It’s prophetic
It was really sad when Pitbull dismembered Eminem in a volcano
@@WeeklyComedian wow. you really misremember star wars lol. obi wan was not anakins sith apprentice at all
@@dragon-id5uj No no I just watched it. Obiwan told Anakin that he has the high ground, and he should "back it up like a Tonka truck". At least that's how it is in the special editions
Have you heard the tragedy of Darth Vanilla the Ice?
@@WeeklyComedian unfortunately Anakin backed it up like a dump truck and suffered the consequences.
Love the energy on this one, Anthony, such a shame that I have to leave a dislike because you're italian
I thought this said because you’re a villain but what’s the difference
I thought it said because he is a vampire but there still the same
@@soravsgoku123 Italians are second only to the French
Is he actually Italian? His name sounds so American
So sad he was found out to be a former Mafia Boss 😞
let’s agree: this is one of the best and most varied let’s argue episodes in quite some time
Yes.
based
I cooka da pizza
i cooka da melona
You love yeat
Let’s agree: we love the bass intros
DISAGREE I ALWAYS SKIP THEM.
yeah i skipped this episode because i did not see a bass
you misspelt hate
Lets agree. He doesnt read comments
Based
As a Brazilian it was kinda funny to see Anthony saying that Pitbull is not white lol. Sometimes I forget that race in US is very different than in Latin America.
yeah idk what he’s taking about pitbull is definitely white lol
Pitbull has white genetics but race has a lot to do with culture in the US so if you're culturally Latin American you're not considered "white" by association or privilege. Just goes to show how bs race is because a black Columbian and a black American are still both considered black lmao
I'm as gringo as it gets but I've lived in Central America for 12 years; while Pitbull comes across as totally white to me, I think I'd have a different opinion had I stayed in the US.
yeah lol pitbull is not only white hes white as fuck
Lol yeah he was saying pitbull isnt a caucasian artist which is obvious with his type of Latin music.
That Doolittle take literally broke Melon. You can see his brain fried on every take that followed it
Bro it literally did. Its like Thony and the takes he was reading just devolved after that point
Holy shit you’re right. Vid went from a fairly straight forward Let’s Argue to chaos in a matter of seconds, I thought I was having a stroke
😂😂😂 he wasn’t able to form sentences afterwards
From animal rage to cool reviewer mode just like that
Our boi went feral
Legend has it that the world is not ready for two good white rappers to exist at the same time
Marlon Craft and Aesop Rock tho?
@@MrVaher based
@@MrVaher Aesop gives me "I dont believe in living in a system, thats why i stay in a cardboard box" vibes
1990s B Real and Big Pum?
2000s Eminem and Aesop Rock
2010s El P and Mac Miller
@@ItsWhizi I mean he pretty much says this directly in a lot of his songs lol, and that's a main part of his charm for me
I love when Let’s Argue just becomes a Q&A. Like somehow he’s still supposed to argue with “What’s your To-Do List like?”
😂😂😂
Just woke up and that made me lol. Thanks
What's your favorite idea?
Honestly, those questions are the best questions
Let’s argue: my wife shouldn’t have left me
It's okay we can get back together
I mean, it's arguable bro
counter point: your wife is a pillow that was finally put in the washing machine. she didnt actually leave you because she doesnt exist.
You will be forever alone for ever
i agree
Anthony Fantano talking about the mafia is very hypocritical considering his real name is "big tony fantini" and traded his love and passion for organized crime and beautiful Italian dishes into passion for music reviewing on youtube he is truly a master at with and as a capo.
Tony Pizza Fantonini
Tony Montana
Unfunny
Leave the gun, take the In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
“Truly a master at with and as a capo”… 🥴
The "I cooka the pizza" context was even wilder it started with "the Mafia is not a fucking aesthetic" and a picture of sopranos. And the person wrote it because a Kpop group released a song with Mafia in the name. But it was about Mafia the game.
Sounds like a Christopher Nolan movie
On a side note Mafia The Game was solid af
Also such a troglodyte take because if Nazi chic gets to be a thing then it doesn't matter if your pizza-pals got boo-hoo'd, Mafia still gets to be an aesthetic.
@@Camdavis11 Exposition and loud noises
@@varsoonhks3211 nazi chic does not get to be a thing
1Train is probably the best possé cut of the 2010s. We wont get a track with that much great names on it. A$AP Rocky, Kendrick, Joey, Yelawolf, Action Bronson, Danny Brown and KRIT (my fav verse) all killed it
I’m not even saying this because he’s white (yes I am) but I could have done without the Yela verse tbh
@@benmgoldberg action Bronson is also white but killed it
Couldn't agree more
Danny brown has my fav verse but I think Krit did the best
I Do - Jeezy, Jay Z, Drake, Andre 3000 is better
Pitbull is literally white and owns a Nascar team. He's whiter than Eminem
LOL! "...owns a Nascar team. He's whiter than Eminem" Chefs Kiss
Lmfao
Pitbull is definitely a white man. I guess because he's Latino he doesn't really get put into the white rapper category tho. In fact until that tweet it's something I never thought about
Same. I never thought about it until now. Then remembered a lot of Cubans are white.
@@zachdirects No bro, over 1/3 of Cuba is either mixed and or black, due to the slave trades back in the 18th-19th century. My grandmother’s a dark skin Cuban that can hardly speak English
You idiots need to get off tiktok n read n article or something on these topics before you speak on it. just cause a Latinos skin is light doesn’t mean their parents are white people. latinos features and skin tones very by generation n genes due to mixing A LOT.
@@jigggyjaythebeast3856 a lot of american cubans are white though.
@@jigggyjaythebeast3856 So 2/3 are white then?
The suggestion for the young fan attending a concert is super mature amd helpful. Good shit melon
First we found out he doesn't really have the best teeth in the game, then we found out he sits down for his reviews. Now he doesn't even play bass at the start of let's argue. Anthony has really fallen off
and now he's trying to convince us Spanish people aren't white
Have you seen that gut? Guy doesn't stand for much.
I'm not sure if it's just me but this let's argue feels especially unhinged. 😂
8:10 nah this is completely normal idk what you're talking about
as someone already pointed out it's just a q&a at this point
It’s the Misfits drip
I FUCKING APPEARED IN A LET’S ARGUE. Thank you Anthony 🙏
Which one were you??
@@Jacobsawa The concerts and my parents one lmao
i hope ur able to go lol
@@Torbinsky sneak out
trust me
@@Torbinsky have fun when you go !!!
bro talked about white rappers like they’re sith lords lmao
The best white rappers these days are in the underground/independent scene, that's for sure.
The best ever, Cal Chuchesta, is still working on a follow up that will crush everyone.
right ?? tom macdonald is arguably the best modern rapper if not all time GOAT and is completely independent , super underrated and never talks about being white , just straight bars . he perfected what eminem was trying to do
The best white rapper is Sematary
@@BlackKrayFan Guy has bars for days
@@jn2787 no offense, I don't know if you are for real or trolling (cause I always saw a lot of people shitting on him online). I can't really say anything about him cause I never really listened to him so far. Just saying the underground is huge again in these days and much more interesting than a lot of mainstream stuff. That's why I said a lot of great white rappers are around in that scene. I can't think of many mainstream white rappers that i know about that appeal to me (except earlier EM and Logics last album, but yeah he biracial.😉)
@@PakRT84 the best white rappers are all in Europe. Especially france and eastern europe
Your advice to the kid actually look to communicate with their parents and get and come to a good consensus was actually such great advice
as a brown mexican, cuban/american Pitbull is ABSOLUTELY WHITE
He's a gusano
You can be both latino and white
No hes not. Im Mexican and no hes not
To be completely fair, Pitbull is a quick change of clothes from being your twin
And we all know Italians are the most oppressed POC in America, check & mate.
I literally broke down cry-laughing at his reaction to the Doolittle take
dame tu cosita was a generational, game changing, masterpiece in the entirety of music
we all agree
I was gonna search that up till I remembered its that awful alien thing
Best rap song to come out from a white rapper
The original song with the alien was better
pitbull IS white i cant believe how americans cant accept that latin people can also be white like them lol
ikr??? once i saw a post calling Guillermo del Toro ''people of color'' like wtf???
Pitbull is probably whiter than Melon
I live in “the 305”, most of the hispanics you will see are white Cubans.
You people know nothing lol just cause a persons skin is light doesn’t mean their parents are white?? How dumb can y’all be. Hispanics have been multi mixed for years
I feel like Americans don't think of us as white in the sense that in America historically both black and white people never really knew how to classify us (and they still dont), so yeah they probably think that we re not white because if we were really white then our whiteness wouldnt be so constantly questioned
anthony i forgive you for not knowing how this works but just because pitbull is cuban doesn’t mean he isn’t white lol
I was like HUH 🤔
wish i didn’t have to scroll so far to see this lmao. thought i was being gaslit for a hot minute
In the US he might not be considered white
As soon as anyone beyond elementary shows such a lack of comprehension towards a concept as simple as racial grouping, I instantly view them as mentally deficient... I guess good ol' melon here shall be one of those special ed kids from now on
You missed the point though. The tweet was grouping in Pitbull with Eminem, Macklemore, Mac Miller ect. all of whom are of ethnically white American races(European decent). What that means is the person tweeting saw Pitbull as an ethnically white american person of European decent(which he is not) and Anthony was calling him out for it
Pitbull ever being more popular than Eminem is something that I couldn't picture even with a Kodak
I’m unmedicated ADD as fuck so it’s all about the daily bullet journal. Many people totally underestimate the benefit of taking 15 minutes to sit down and be deliberate about what you need to achieve in a day.
I love how this series has surfaced how few of us Fantano fans are the same age as he is
I went to a beach house concert and I regret to inform our friend's parents but they're worried about nothing I had a great time and came home in one piece
I feel like I'd fall asleep at a Beach House concert. Like not in a disrespectful way, they're just so soothing.
@@rolanddeschain6265 they're pretty awesome live. Sounds just like the recordings.
That's encouraging. I went to a Death Grips concert and came home in two pieces because Ride fucked me in half
(Edit: Did I really say "chorus" instead of "concert?" Christ.)
@ronald Deschain when I went I didn't necessarily feel sleepy but I felt high 🤣 their music is smoothing but there's a Psychedelic Dreamy essence to their music and performance that makes you feel like you're in a high dream, it's amazing
This episode should have been named after the swamp ass one
Glad you liked it boss
this is one of my favorite series on this entire website. I don't really know why, I just loove this shit.
I liked hearing about your “to-do list” process. Ya doing a good job, Tony
This was good episode with real actual questions and takes and not memes
"girls are scary and they make me feel weird"
i hate swamp ass
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They forgot to mention the number one white rapper, Cal Chuchesta
Finally, another let’s argue, now we need a worst to best revival
I appreciate how Anthony gives child like questions simple easy to understand answers
i love that you acknowledge the shine peep had even though you weren’t the biggest fan of the music
While The Blue Mask cover is indeed lazy, it's still way better than the "graphics design is my passion" ass cover that is David Bowie's The Next Day
I think The Next Day is more clearly SUPPOSED to be referencing/just being the cover of Heroes, while The Blue Mask looks like a bad bootleg, less intentionally or artistically done (even if it were)
That Bowie album cover seems lazy but suits his discography perfectly. I like to think of it as a canvas placed on top of one of his most iconic albums, where he can have fun playing as he wishes but can't escape from his own legacy (in general, the album has a nice set of songs that reminds its listeners why they fell in love with his music on the first place). Additionally, it's a thoughtful way of purposely vanishing his own face, his own body; when you match it up with Blackstar (and its album cover, of course), it's scary how everything aligns: they're the only two albums covers where he's not the protagonist.
Let's argue: these questions in these let's argue segments are usually nicer than the argument prompts.
Thats some on point advice regarding the parent situation
"I kinda feel like thas cap... thas not bussin" -Anthony Fantano, 2022
Someone please explain to me why Action Bronson is never mentioned on the topic of “white rappers”? The dude got bars!
He's just nowhere near the commercial success of the mentioned white rappers
He's Jewish tho.
cus he's Action Bronson
like
c'mon
@@markjokinen Jewish is white idc what anyone thinks
Let’s agree. That’s it, let’s just agree. There’s a lot of disagreement in this world, this world is too divided. For once, let us just agree to agree.
This is not an episode of 'Let's Agree' though so no, we are here only to argue.
@@user-sb4rc5yw9r good point, I agree
Agree to disagree
Frank Zappa was the greatest K Pop idol of all time and Lou Reed stole all his songs from Zappa’s zydeco period
No memes, just want to say how much I love this content!
Haha, nice meme
@@johnmuselmann7886 meme nice, ha ha
Pitbull is white...just because he speaks Spanish, Canelo is white.
😂😂
That Italy take is so lame cause I saw that thread, it was one guy who poked fun at a clearly virtue signaling Twitter user and he overreacted like crazy to an obvious joke. Everyone made fun of him after that. No, Americans do not think the mafia was a thing to be looked up to, we don't need a kid on Twitter to tell us how shameful we have to be of ourselves
Compared to some of what gets reviewed on this channel, Black Midi and Beach House may seem tame, but there’s still some parents who would hear the dreaminess of Beach House or the eclecticism of Black Midi and just think “DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS.” I mean what else could it really be
this was a very wholesome Let’s Argue
Fucking empty cookie cutter content, easily replaceable
It was righteous
2:40 bro this is spot on. I grew up in a Hispanic home and my parents had two rules 1) don’t lie about where I was going 2) answer if they call. I could have been robbing banks as long as I followed those two rules 😂
Hispanic and Latino ain’t a race
@@tvscreen8397 true, but they never said that in their comment lol. You good bro?
@@YouKnowItsEn just
@@tvscreen8397 😺🕳️🦠
why is this the funniest lets argue so far holy shit
I'm sorry Pit Bull is white, he's a white cuban my guy.
3:23 that tweet was hilarious
when that person responded with “i cooka da pizza”, op went on a tirade and made a clown of themselves
This went from "Let's Argue" to "Me Argue" so quickly
Posse cuts are really an issue because not everyone is sitting ready at a mic to drop a verse on a track, a small community that you want to get select people on a posse cut gets to be an issue.
Pitbul is my favorite white rapper
Lmfao wait no memes does he actually think pitbull isn’t white? Wtf
I don't know why I like your channel so much, because I have not listened to most of the artists you review. But it's still fun somehow.
Anthony's just jealous that all these other Caucasian Cuties are battling him for the throne of the Rap Game. He needs to eliminate all competition as quickly and efficiently as possible to truly prove that he is the Top G Arian Artist.
Anthony is not white he’s Italian.
@@zachdirects but I love him as white
@@zachdirects is Italian not white?
@@adichatterjee Italians and Europeans are considered white if I'm not wrong
@@shady8467 it’s a joke. I’m making fun of how America used to view Italians.
Really loving the people aspect of 8:41 - 9:46
"1 people = girl" was the enlightenment of the day. 😇
Always glad to see a new let's argue, antknee :)
Pitbull is definitely a white cuban person
Let's argue: NAV will drop the first 11/10 album
From the title I thought this was just going to be arguing about every single white rapper one at a time.
12 minutes of melon dissing Eminem, Logic, and G Eazy
He only dissed half of logic
“I cooka da pizza” IM FUCKING DYING BRO 😭😭😭
Fantano feelin' a little more brain meltier than usual today
Daily to-do lister representing.
Also dunno why but that cheer for ordering groceries fucking got me.
Doolittle is a masterpiece.
Pitbull is definitely white, once I saw a post saying Guillermo del Toro wasn't white only because he was from Mexico or some shit, people can be white even if they are not from US lolz
U trolling right?
@@versalgraphics i wish i was
@@RMwalktroughs So you're saying that everyone who isn't black is white? I wouldn't consider someone who is ethnically latino to be white at all.
@@versalgraphics you must be American because they treat race like a circus. Pitbull is white, Latino and Hispanic is not a race, it’s an ethnicity
@@tvscreen8397 I'm not an american I'm simply saying that people born in more southern parts of the Americas tend to have a different shade of skin which as far as I understand constitutes as race. Same goes for Europe, I wouldn't call a person born in Andalusia, Turkey or Greece white.
We can focus on more than 1 white rapper at a time, but every white rapper is subject to becoming overly hyped, loved by all for like 5 months, then a downward spiral where everyone hates them.
I haven’t watched one of melon’s videos in a long while, and got to the 100 gecs Dan Deacon take. my mans is as condescending and douchy as ever. Love it. 10/10.
This is definitely one of the videos of all time.
There were some really good questions in this episode. Thanks melon.
As a parent I think fantano is giving some solid advice to the teen here.
I saw beach house live in detroit, and let me tell you, anthony is right. everyone just sat there vibing, the only unexpected thing that came from it was the wild amount of 40 and 50 year olds though
That's like when I saw the xx in Boston. Grizzly bear opened and it was pretty good, then the xx came out and damn near put me to sleep. The older dudes all piled in and were LOVING it. Me and my friends left halfway through and got coffee instead.
There's something to be said for the whole "no chorus" thing. As someone who has been writing a lot of poetry recently, I find writing hooks tedious most of the time.
I think you summed it up well though. There have been a few times where a really catchy hook just came to me, and that becomes the inspiration for the entire song. At the same time, it can be a bit lazy to do it that way, especially if we're talking rap.
Fantanos the goat for teaching his followers how to talk to girls
big fantano back with another video love to see it
I don't use Twitter, but I'll take this opportunity to recommend that you make a Pink Floyd: Worst to Best, Anthony :)
2:37 you cannot ask this to ethnic parents, they will straight up no for no reason whatsoever
so much wisdom today. blessed are we
How is Pitbull not white, dude whiter then me bro
Let’s argue has turned more and more into just a q&a with Anthony calling out certain questions or comments
Everyone always forgets about EL-P and aesop rock
The person talking about there Dilemma on going to a concert.
Gave me flashbacks asking my mom to let me go to BVB black veiled brides concert and her saying how she was, “concern”,…. I’m serious Black veiled brides. What happened at most was other teens and tweens wearing face paint with choppy colorful hair and glows sticks a lot of glow sticks that night.
More possie cuts would be so good. Also I cooka da pizza
On the topic of posse cuts, I agree with the statement but some really good ones have come out in recent times. My favourite being "Posse Gang Eight Million" which includes the talents of Jam Baxter, Dirty Dike and Dabbla. Definitely recommend the listen.
8:11 another iconic fantano moment right here
I honestly quite appreciated your thoughts on reviewing, Anthony - at times it can feel like you're demeaning the music I enjoy, but at the same time a lot of the time I disagree with you I've had to deepen my reasoning as to _why_ . And for that, I have to thank you.
Pitbull is white! Hispanic isn’t a race their are white hispanics and pitbull is very much that.
How is pitbull not white??? If you are trying to say that he is latino, then maybe you should know that being latino is not related to skin color. Being latin is an ethnicity. Therefore, you can be latin AND white
Love you bro. Take care of yourself.
As of May 31st,Eminem is one of the top 10 most streamed artists of 2022, despite being a 90s artist who has not released an album in 2 years. Some People keep claiming that Eminem is no longer relevant, but it's just not true at all.
Pitbull is probably white. People born in Latin America can be white, black, native american, asian the same way people in US can. The place you are born doesn't determinate your heritage.
Not probably. He IS
Wow Anthony, bold of you to post the unreleased demo or Purple Hat at 8:48. Inspiring stuf
Let's not start the whole race vs ethnicity conversation. Especially not behind Pitbull 😂
It is a bit complicated, but also I'm surprised his name was even in this conversation. I don't think anyone looked at Pitbull as a rapper nevertheless a white rapper, and especially not "THE WHITE RAPPER" of his time.
Pitbull is a white hispanic lmao, he's Cuban, its the 2nd most Blanco behind Argentina. Saying Hispanics can't be White is the most USA thing possible and their creepy obsession with classifying other countries
@@CypressDahlia ur right pitbull is THE RAPPER
@@CypressDahlia yeah always thought of him as Latino or some
@@sandr921 He is definitely a rapper of all time
