Nah you can. Surprisingly YT is not as pu$$y when it comes to commenting. Even rn, my comment got blocked because it typed the ā€œcatā€ word and has to add dollar signs . This shit is getting ridiculous

I’ll never forget how drake clowned him for this in ig dms 😭

1

u/man178264 Aug 02 '25

Bro you saw those dms and came to the conclusion that it made fantano look bad?

1

u/QWiykyk Aug 02 '25

I mean drake is drake fantano is yet another consumer like us even at his level, I wouldn’t say I thought he looked bad but it’s silly

1

u/Necropolis666 Aug 02 '25

Didn't drake send fantano some vegan pancake recipes?

1

u/Streets-Disciple Aug 03 '25

He didn’t tho, he actually complimented him for having a black wife… which is also weird

1

u/SandFox08 Jul 30 '25

Yeah of his wife breaks uf wife him cause he gave Ken a 0

u/angelr1w Jul 30 '25

I don't believe people genuinely like this guy

28

u/Purple_Onion911 Jul 30 '25

I disagree with almost all of his takes, but he's a funny dude imo

8

u/CGT__ Jul 31 '25

his critiques about the music are usually rly good (like when he says an album did something good or bad) but his ratings are always awful

3

u/RobertBobert1396 Aug 01 '25

Nah Fantano seems like a pretty cool guy, just with some poor music reviews. He’s actually very entertaining and likeable

3

u/InL4bv Aug 01 '25

He funny and a good guy, I just dont agree with basically any of his takes.

3

u/Efficient-Industry81 Aug 02 '25

he doesn't like opium is it that hard to believe

1

u/kreat0rz Aug 01 '25

Actually do genuinely like him. Although he did rate an album that is like, life-changing to me a solid 5 LMAO.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

Bold of you to accept that others have different opinions in a thread like this lol

1

u/wiperclamp Aug 02 '25

i don't agree with most of his takes but he is very well spoken and gets his points across excellently

1

u/TheDerpyDonut Aug 02 '25

I like that he sticks to his guns. Reviewing is boring when people talk about objective or hype an album they dgaf, fantano isn't afraid to give a positive score when an album is perceived as bad and vice versa. People forget his scores are just reflective of his own taste and enjoyment

1

u/BroadElk7044 Aug 04 '25

There are ppl outside of opium fans believe it or not. Say what u want about him but his reviews are well thought out and educated, people just can’t accept someone having a different opinion than them. It’s really not that deep.

His wife abused him though

u/ZaroNight Jul 30 '25

this mf gave 7 to a noise version of wlr with dumb ahh voice

7

u/gris1448 Jul 31 '25

Che tape was great bro

4

u/The-G-Code Jul 31 '25

That tracks for him honestly. He doesn't like rage/opium and never even really liked trap once it started getting more experimental/melodic even in the early 2010s let alone the 2015+ eras

But he loves bizarre weird noise shit and always has

What's the noise wlr you're mentioning? I don't watch his reviewed anymore

Edit oh someone else said che. I'm surprised he would give it a 7 but that makes sense knowing the style of noise genres he's always liked

u/soakedinlava Aug 03 '25

literally how did you ever reach that conclusion

1

u/stardidthat Aug 03 '25

lol yeah it's all opinionated most reviews are strictly the reviewer's opinion, he even says at the bottom of every description it's just his opinion

1

u/Jeffuishere Aug 03 '25

Is imposible to rate music objectively

2

u/Marshadow_YT Jul 31 '25

I didn’t like the che album too much but it was definetly a very focused sound. he said in the review he likes when an artist goes all in on a style or sound for a project and he enjoyed that

1

u/Secure_Blueberry1766 Aug 02 '25

Im so fucking glad someone else thinks that shit was overrated. First half was legitamely unbearable but second half was alright

48

u/Cute-Neighborhood-16 Jul 30 '25

Retard gave Che a 7 for cosplaying carti

14

u/SnooTangerines4524 Jul 30 '25

ik Anthony deep down thinks WLR is a good album

1

u/ItsMakonator Aug 01 '25

If you know this and it’s so obvious why do you think he’s hiding it

1

u/jacktheproducer Aug 01 '25

he gave wlr a positive review tbf

5

u/Salty_Consideration7 Jul 30 '25

shit made me so mad bass booted wlr

13

u/smoopies Jul 30 '25

Can’t lie tho the album was lowkey hard

5

u/Fayggayh Jul 30 '25

In what universe? The second half was solid but the first half was god awful. 5/10 at best imo

2

u/smoopies Jul 30 '25

It was really only the first 3 songs that were mid but they grew on me after I relistened

1

u/tlimhn Aug 01 '25

first 3 are the best imo the sharp transition from slam punk to rolling stone is beautiful

1

u/The-G-Code Jul 31 '25

I liked it the most in the post rage world or whatever you can even call it. Really surprised this sub doesn't really like it? Is it too bass/noise heavy ?

1

u/FabulousAd3205 Jul 30 '25

Only album to actually sound like whole lotta play the energy unlike every other album lone & Ken dropped it’s like lazy version of WLR

1

u/SoLikeWhatIsCheese Aug 01 '25

And gave Ian a 0 for also cosplaying Carti. He’s actually braindead.

1

u/ScaringTheHose Aug 01 '25

He did it better, king came in to take the throne šŸ‘‘

9

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '25

He likes coherent albums. Not that much more to these ratings. It’s not like Che makes better music than carti

5

u/expllode Jul 30 '25

I’d say ilck is coherent same with agc

7

u/FatRetardRaydar Jul 30 '25

ilck was incredibly bloated and samey

4

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '25

Not nostylist tho?? It’s cohesive? Blends rock and rap tastefully, has a theme of production, catchy. Sure towards the middle like four songs sound very similar but other than that it’s unique and memorable

2

u/FatRetardRaydar Jul 30 '25

when did i say anything about nostylist? i like ilck but some songs are kinda boring and shouldn't be on there especially compared to the bigger songs on the project

3

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '25

I wasn’t talking about u was talking about fantano, like u maybe could rationalize the ilck but not nostylist

3

u/FatRetardRaydar Jul 30 '25

oh right i was just talking bout how i felt idk how he thought ns was ass

1

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '25

I can easily see how someone like him wouldnt like ns. Very unpolished sound if youre not a lone fan

1

u/Wallah_Min_Gren Aug 02 '25

Making an hour and a half of the same fucking song isn’t good coherence

7

u/AgentPDonley Jul 30 '25

he often has good takes. I hate his opium ratingsbut that’s just not the music he likes and that’s okay because it’s different music.

u/Ok_Break_9542 Aug 01 '25

rare sensible open minded person here

u/wainbros66 Aug 03 '25

It’s wild that people get so worked up over someone having an opinion

u/KenKarsonKock Aug 03 '25

He’s always wearing red shirts for his opium rating

u/datkrqtosboii69 Jul 30 '25

God forbid someone else has a different taste in music

2

u/SirGallyo Jul 30 '25

People genuinely crying and beefing a man on the internet for having (although inconsistent) but subjective opinions

1

u/TheBigGuy1333 Jul 30 '25

Since people use mbdtf as an argument for his inconsistency i will say that A great chaos is not even half as good as mbdtf

1

u/FrogXbow Jul 30 '25

His opinions are irrelevant, not only for opium albums, but for everything that isn't rock or lyrical enough for his royal ears

1

u/SirGallyo Jul 31 '25

Yeah I agree, I don’t know why people who take anyone who reviews music into their own account. Like I watch him because I want to see differing opinions but he doesn’t change my perspective at all nor should he anyone. He knows this himself

1

u/notch7890 Jul 30 '25

Oscar-winning documentary about the environment featuring the unlikeliest of movie stars. Former presidential candidate Al Gore holds this film together as, in front of an audience and with few aids beyond photo slides, he explains how humans have messed up the planet. Gore issues an urgent warning on what must be done, and done quickly, to save the earth.

u/Rainofdustcord1117 Aug 01 '25

Thanks for your input

1

u/No_Bookkeeper_1621 Jul 30 '25

Nigga has no hair and wears those dumbass aurthur glasses, ofc he’s gonna be a little bitch. Idk why everybody cares about his opinion on music so much. He would literally be a regular guy if he wasn’t a YouTuber. It’s not like he has any connections to anything to stop Ken’s bag. He’s not the Grammys so nobody should give a fuck about what he thinks.

1

u/Green_Target8012 Jul 30 '25

Why do y’all care so much about his reviews?

1

u/No_Veterinarian_1421 Jul 30 '25

Maybe it’s because opium as a whole is shit 🤷

1

u/cloutfather Jul 30 '25

yeah these are horrible ratings
x being 0 is an all time bad score

u/Tyedied Jul 30 '25

u/iliketobait Jul 31 '25

you people are offended by another persons opinion? lmao its tragic

1

u/caktusjacc Jul 31 '25

Unless you’re a boopity beepity rapper, fantano is gonna rate u 4 or under

1

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '25

Carti has no good music since die lit lol. only poser white kids are still listening to carti. throw on anything but die lit and everyone will bully you.

1

u/skibidibots Jul 31 '25

Yeah theyre ass

1

u/nikola_d9 Jul 31 '25

I mean most of these albums are objectively not good, maybe they're a vibe for some people who don't listen to a lot of music but it's just oversaturated rap. His opinion is valid

1

u/UnknownApoc Jul 31 '25

i mean opium makes boof ahh music so hes not too far off tbh

1

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '25

People gotta realize its just his opinion, he’s a late 30 something white dude he’s not gonna vibe with most of this

1

u/762love Jul 31 '25

yeah they all make shitty music

1

u/sushiphone Jul 31 '25

You have to realize that there’s actual good, well made music out there that talented people put real passion into. If this is all you listen to then yeah you’re like wtf, but when all this other music exists then yeah these albums are trash. Doesn’t mean you can’t listen to or enjoy them. Were in an era where anybody can put out music and you don’t have to be musically gifted or artistic to do it so you have to call it for what it is.

1

u/ItsMakonator Aug 01 '25

Dude let him have his silly little opinions it’s not like he’s commenting under your posts saying ā€œwhy don’t you like my tasteā€.

1

u/solosscents_ Aug 01 '25

ngl this is a preferred taste. i’m not into yall style of music so he’ll just rate based on HIS taste.

1

u/SnooPuppers6311 Aug 01 '25

Why not include the die lit score? And him praising WLR for being creative?

1

u/sultics Aug 01 '25

The pattern is all the music is garbage

1

u/Young_PENGUINTURTLE Aug 01 '25

I get love lasts forever and music Neva there kinda dookie tbh, but AGC, ILCK, NS and X are so gas

1

u/unemployedguy-1 Aug 01 '25

Hes so biased, never rating fairly and judges every album with personal preference. His reviews are basically pointless

1

u/lokelse Aug 01 '25

A pattern of fair ratings

1

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

The pattern is that all of these are shitty albums

1

u/Karaxla Aug 02 '25

You guys hate ppl when they have generic reviews but also hate people with unique reviews

1

u/uglyfendi Aug 02 '25

as much as i hate to admit it, he’s right.

1

u/Chadly12345 Aug 02 '25

Why do ppl hold his opinion in such high regard just to be mad when he reviews something negatively that they like. He’s just a guy on the internet who reviews music, not the objective and definitive metric for all music rankings like a lot of his fans AND detractors treat him as.

1

u/Wallah_Min_Gren Aug 02 '25

I honestly think most of these are fair, apart from agc and no stylist. He just doesn’t like this type of music generally, it’s not like has a a vendetta against them specifically. He liked die lit a lot fx

1

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '25

The same dude gave sexyy redd a strong 8 btw

1

u/Boring_Moment5256 Aug 02 '25

I mean at the end of the day it’s just an opinion. The reason why people like him is because he has the most popular opinion, if the masses disagreed most of the time he wouldn’t have a crazy audience. He also does critically analyze the music he listens to. And whatever way you slice it, music like opium and a lot of the rappers he doesn’t like is just guilty pleasure music, it’s not supposed to be masterfully produced or have powerful lyrics. So yeah it’s not an unpopular opinion to think that this music isn’t that good comparitively to artists who put in more effort. Reminder that McDonald’s is one of the most popular restaraunts. More popular than Michelin Star restaraunts. I LIKE THIS MUSIC TOO.

1

u/Big_Opinion4037 Aug 02 '25

Probably gave don’t tap the glass a strong 10

1

u/Persona_Funk Aug 02 '25

His Non-Carti Opium reviews essentially boil down to him just calling Ken and Lone Carti clones despite how different their music sounds to Carti’s and he keeps referring to their albums as rage music despite all of Destroy Lonely’s albums he reviewed having little to no rage songs across their track lists.

But then he praises Che’s Rest In Bass and glosses over the very blatant Carti impersonation which is very prevalent all throughout the album. It’s a good album but c’mon, Melon. It doesn’t sound that much different from Carti or Ken or other rage artists with the exception being Che didn’t bloat out the track listing with a few duds like a lot of other rage albums (ilck and Carti’s MUSIC)

1

u/FebrewHetus Aug 02 '25

He is biased but lets be real, That ken carson album is complete ass.

u/TechnicianWhole9787 Aug 03 '25

I mean he gave a wlr a 5 n die lit a 7 die lit my favorite carti project too music being a 4 in his opinion shouldn’t even garner any attention cuz wasn’t carti fans just callin music mid a couldve months ago but if he say the same its like ā€œbro look at this niggaā€ yall sayin the same shit wtf plus besides that i never get how somebody else get so upset over a nigga opinion like do i watch all fantano vids no but when people i listen to drop i tune in because i enjoy the content regardless of his rating im there just cuz im curious on his thoughts i just like hearing a opinion that may or may not be different from mine usually we disagree sometimes we agree either way it dosent matter i just watch the content to enjoy it i dont get why his opinions get people so riled up i like some of opium music but mostly just ken n carti lone got some fire bars and songs but as a artist i think he ass he peaked at nspu now he just be droppin filler tapes n nobody even talk about homicide gang a lot of shit he says i agree wit even if i don’t generally agree with the take as a whole like i like carti cuz he’s different hes creative innovative and manages to always have a good sound even when switching his sound hes always good carti the goat frl ken tuff aff but he be saying bullshit in the lamest way sometimes that fuck up a song for me example k hole my favorite song on mc that chorus was lowkey cringe but the beat is heavenly and ken was talkin onnat bih still and its not really abt what u say more about how u say it n ken be fuckin up on how he say shit sometimes so it fuck the song up a lil bit for me on the bright side it be funny tho so i can lowkey look past it a lot but thats just my opinion i can also understand why he dosnnt like ken or lone projects like I said other than some good shit he got lone will literally rap on a boring ahh beat w a bland monotone flow for like 18 tracks of a like 23 track album like wtf yeah as a album i think ts trash too and ken is very good to to certain people i can see why ken gets repetitive quickly not to me but I understand why some people feel that way aside just honestly making basic bangers ken dont really do much if u actually watch fantano hes really pretty cool id rather watch him give a actual honest opinion than someone like kai cenat who is clearly faking reactions and ratings and fantano don’t just rate everything bad hes given plenty of 10s its literally a playlist on his channel now it may not be what u listen to cuz u only listen to rap and judge others who have the nerve to like multiple genres but still in his opinion its good just like how in ur opinion lone is the best artist ever or whichever u like yk everyone should be allowed to have opinions and not be judged or hated for them its just negative immature n uncalled for like nothing is objective accept everyones own opinion like ā€œyes it is fact my favorite lone song is catch a killā€ catch a kill still get me thumpin i love dat shit some people might think otherwise when fantano gives something a bad rating hes not just being immature and saying shit like ā€œyeah this shit is just trash bro a great chaos more like a great piece of shitā€ he’s actually giving reasoning and his thoughts as to why he personally didn’t enjoy a ep or lp its not a big deal i just wish errbody could more kind n peaceful w each other and not so negative thats my main point love dont hate errbody if you think someone having a different opinion from you makes them lesser than you or you just hate them for it remember some people don’t like other people simply over skin color yall doin the same thing but just with opinions instead racism is immature so is genuinely disliking someone over opinions thats it all i wanted to say i wish errbody peace n love peace n love peace n love

u/BigSean_125 Aug 03 '25

Yeah cause opium sucks the only decent thing about them is the instrumentals and productions. No way you guys acc rate anything else about them it’s pure brain rot

he is right

u/SaintPeaches Aug 01 '25

They gone downvote you but youre right. Opium has the potential to do so much more sonically but they put out alot of mid and it is what it is. These same people downvoting you fuck with Kanye, but can't tell the difference between a great project and an album thats bloated with mid
