>>68167133
1. Your job is 1/1000th as important or respectable as even the worst artist making art.

2. Taking two days to review an album that took 2 months, let alone 2 years to make is just disrespectful.

3. Good art mostly comes from places you wouldn't expect and often from places that aren't "cool."

4. Trashing an artist's work is literally the same thing as trashing a person, so don't do so flippantly. In other words, be nice. You putting out a review isn't half as brave as them displaying this deep part of themselves for you (even if they tried and failed to).

The only thing Fantano really is is a shitposter. Nothing more than that.

>>68167358

and

5. If a lot of people like something without it having to be marketed, and it's respected by other artists, there's a good chance it's good, so don't dismiss it if you don't get it immediately.

>>68167358
>>68167373
So what you're saying is that almost every album has it's reedeming qualities and should never be completely thrashed? I do agree with that, but in which review has the melon given less than 4/10?

>>68167389

His rating system feels off a lot of the time. It's like he says 6 and means 3-4 (when giving reasoning).

He also gives way more 8s than he should.

Also, and this has been a big thing notably with Odd Future related artists, he seems to have this knee-jerk reaction to hype that makes him seem really biased. Anti-hype is just as bad a hype, at the end of the day.

>>68167112
I kinda missed the days when he pretty much only did reviews and generally ignored /mu/. He's becoming closer and closer to FilthyFrank but that kind of comedy doesn't really transfer well...
Also his fans are fucking rabid. It's awful. It's reaching Leafy-tier retardation.

>>68167133
Giving an album a numeric/star rating makes you a hack and you'll only end up creating a fan base like Fantano's who only listen to his "I Love These" section and nothing else. Just explain why you do or don't like an album and give a recommendation on who might enjoy it, that's all a review needs.

>>68167358

agree with all but 1)

an artist is not more respectable than a carpenter is not more respectable than a roger ebert or a piero scaruffi

>>68167358
I agree with you and you seem like a nice person. An underrated character quality. :)

>>68167427

yes and yes

fuck filthy frank, fuck leafy twice

there are some viral youtube memes that actually are o.k., those two are just shit mixed with vomit mixed with piss

>>68167443

yup. this is why tnmt is still my fav review site, even though they can be """""artistic""""" at times, like that arca review.

>>68167389
He does give scores of less than 4/10 and when he does it's pretty much a circlejerk of him shitposting about why the album or artist or whatever are garbage.

But it fits his style. It's easy to behind all the memes and the shitty 'internet' humor.

Him doing that Corey Feldman review really rubbed me the wrong way. This is a man who was brutally and continually molested throughout his early life as a child star and then, in his 40s comes out with this really strange and delusional music, and you make a long-form video trashing him? It's not even easy pickings at that point....I just couldn't watch more than a minute of the video. Leave the poor guy alone. Fuck.

>>68167468
The best thing is him continuing his meme crusade on twitter.

seriously tho, assuming normal hair growth dont you have to shave like every other day in order for it to be this clean shaven?

i know it only takes mine like 2 or 3 days to grow back and i'm not even arab or balkan

This is the same person who actively makes Meme Reviews and is buddies with FilthyFrank and h3h3, his credentials as a "legitimate music reviewer" are obviously dead in the ground and have been for a while. He's pretty much an entertainer first and foremost (at least now) and he knows nobody wants to see him be fair and diplomatic towards an album that blatantly isn't very good.

>>68167567
maybe he shaves it

Shaving chest hair? Do you shave your vagina as well?
"Men" who shave are not worthy of the title. Your fur is part of what distinguishes you from females. Embrace it.

I think the music criticism sphere would be so much healthier and more respectable if they dropped ratings and focused on writing. You don't see art critics assigning ratings out of 10 to a Van Gogh work.

Are you sure there's no little hairy spot you forgot to shave on your body? You better take care, don't want to look like an actual male, right? Gotta keep the smooth 12 yo girl skin. I may be gay,but even sorrounded by dicks and coverd in cum, I'm still manlier than you will ever be.
>>68167835
The same goes to you, Bartholomew. Being gay doesn't affect my manliness, as much as being straight hasn't helped yours by the least.
I bet you all couldn't get past a pubestach even if you tried hard. Sorry the Y chromosome isn't strong with you. Don't reproduce and end your pathetic unmanly lineages, problem solved.

I feel like it upsets people that he makes a living creating video reviews of music and they are jealous because they couldn't do it.

This thread reminded me to unsubscribe

>>68167934

>>68167934

>I may be gay,but even sorrounded by dicks and coverd in cum, I'm still manlier than you will ever be

so you are a gay man who admits that being gay makes him less manly

you're so fucking pathetic lmao.

consider this: bodyhair and sexual orientation, the amount of times you have sex in a given week, the maximum speed of the car you drive and the amount of weight you lift does NOT make you a man

what DOES make you a man is sticking and acting according to your principles, whatever they may be, taking care of those that you love and being honest about your past mistakes.

a man is only defined by his actions.

or are you gonna tell me that someone suffering from cancer can't be manly because he lost his body hair?

Hahahaha what the FUCK

Since when is he considered a real reviewer?

Also, he gave the album a 9, I feel like a 4.5/5 would be lower than 9 on a 1-10 scale.

Eh, it depends onn the people curating the article.
Usually when somebody adds a needle drop score, it gets contended.
It seems that Danny Brown values Fantongo's opinion highly, or at least he did back when he wasn't a huge dick, so it makes sense that he's there, I guess.

>>68167112

He's an Alt-right pundit.

You guys act like you're tired of him but at least half of the people here watch his reviews even if it's just for the odd album they're really interested in. There's no sense in lying and saying you don't like having your taste validated.

wow, another one of those "you can't give your opinion because you don't do what they do yourself !"

Being a critic is a job, just like being a musician, they give your opinion, you agree, you disagree, whatever. You don't have to take it for granted, it really is just an opinion
And please, that video was funny and you can't deny that Feldman album IS god-awful. Yeah the video is a little mean and he could have just ignored the album but who cares, really

>Trashing an artist's work is literally the same thing as trashing a person
This is so not true. Just because you shit on someone's work doesn't mean you have anything against that person, you're just saying that said work is not true.
When you say someone's work is bad doesn't mean you're saying that person is bad, not even that they're shit at what they do, you're just acknowledging that they fucked up on that one piece of work. If anything, it's helpful to the artist if he's mature enough to take the criticism.

If Corey wasn't ready to face criticism, he should never have put his music out there, its that simple. If he can't handle criticism that's his problem, not Fantano's

What is the deal with this? Is this album supposed to be ironic? Am I missing the point? Even if it is ironic, it still sounds awful and I cannot appreciate it at all. Explain.

>>68167468
Always remember, judge the art, not the artist.

He should only review the album in a vacuum, and not bring Corey or his life at all into the review, or having that change the way he looks at the album. This however also applies to you anon. The amount of beating an album gets should not be reflective of the life that the artist itself has lived. No pity scoring here son. I'm not going to give your album any less of a hard time that I would give to a different album, regardless of the life of each respective artist.

How is P4K or Rolling Stone any more of a "real reviewer" than Fantano? At least Fantano isn't literally owned by a corporation.

>>68172920
Because the reviews on P4K or Rolling Stone don't have channels that review memes.

>>68172758
Quote me where I said that.

>>68172991

P4K had a "Year's best memes" article last year. They also had an article about "best songs for female masturbation", "the unbearable whiteness of indie", and a ton of other shit that is more ridiculous than reviewing memes.

>>68167112
Corey pls

>>68172920
he's making money on youtube tho so everything he does is for views so he can get more money

>>68173329

just because he makes money doesn't mean ALL HE CARES ABOUT is money. he constantly pisses his subscribers off by trashing popular/acclaimed albums (recent examples, Travis Scott, Schoolboy Q) which literally causes people to unsubscribe from him, stop watching his videos out of anger, and thus he LOSES money.

Meanwhile P4K literally won't give anything remotely popular less than a 7.

>>68172920

Because if you're gonna review an album actually review an album instead of blatantly talking about the surface level of it in as memey of a way as possible.

If you think his Corey Heldman review should be on the site you're an idiot and it's laughable that he's getting butthurt over this.
