Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since the music industry was created
WLR released 2 years ago?
@@ab-ol3pn what
Cavemen first heard lightning 300,000 years ago and it's been all downhill since
Actually it was created in 2003 when Kanye West released his first song “Through the Wire”.
@@northernpuffer9222 indeed but popular trap artist Jordan Terrell carter was born. All changed from there.
Slapping your leg and going "HE DON'T MISS" over and over was a surprising reaction to say the least.
Natalia Poklonskaya is that you
I usually don't like these types of comments. But this one was really funny. I might be sleep deprived though.
@@jeltje50 Yep. Was about to post the same comment. Every now and then, these comments will actually get me instead of annoy me, and this one did it.
BUT HE FUCKING DONT THOHGU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10 years of these lame jokes
The way melon can pick apart certain things he said back then and now explains them in great introspective detail, off the dome, shows how much you can improve in this amount of time. Wish I could dedicate myself so well to any sort of craft, as he had done in the last 10 years. Unsubscribed.
😂
LMAOOO
LMFAOO
💀💀💀💀💀
@@SwagMaster824 your reply adds nothing
I can't believe it's been 10 years since Melon dropped this banger of an album.
The Melon Store
Melon is just Flatlander in a thicc vegan suit
Kanye > Mid Grips
happy 10th birthday melon !
@@waterhigh bro what does ye have to do with this 🤣🤣. Get outside for once
I like how fantano is all "look at old me" and he literally looks the same. This man does not age
wdym he had that babyface
well, he changed the glasses
black dont crack
Duh he is vegan. (And also drinks babies blood)
he just grew out the beard. Melon boi has been taking his adrenochrome supplements like a good boy 🗿🗿🗿
It's actually kind of scary how healthy melon is. It's been ten years and I literally can't tell the difference between him then and now He could be 20 or fucking 50 and he still looks like he could kick my whole family's ass. Veganism and making fun of drake has given him too much power
Or maybe he looks the same because he was unhealthy then and now
making fun of drake gave him too much power fr 💀
brb gonna make fun of drake one sec srry
Nav hate is the source of eternal youth
I bet it’s that vegan diet
I've memorized this review in its entirety and when anyone asks me what my favorite album is I repeat it verbatim. Great stuff!
what's your favorite album
Yikes bro formulate your own opinions lmaooooooo
LOL WTF IS UP
@@odedaone >what is a joke
A crossover the people didnt see coming
It's great to see that Anthony hasn't physically changed at all. Black don't crack
Fantano has said the n word in so many videos now that I guess he could be considered black
my brudda
IM THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITE OF 2015
☠☠☠
You mean Anthony doesn't listen to this album everyday??? My world is ruined! I've been listening to this everyday for 7 years because I thought I was being like Dad...

*DADDY*
I swear in the next 10 years Fantano is still going to be sponsored by the ridge.
And in ten years they will, believe it or not, STILL make these nifty, metal plated wallets.
In 10 years Fantano will be the CEO of ridge

@antiphon not funny
@@antiphon000 what kind of nuclear fallout will happen when this dude finds something funny
I can't believe you gave money store a 6/10!!!!!
he still gave mbdtf a 10/10, thats something
AND A LIGHT 6 TOO ⁉️⁉️
dude has the gall to give I'm Gay (I'm Happy) a 10 on top of that
But DAMN got the NOT GOOD, he aint have to do kendrick like tht
U guys need new jokes
That pun at the beginning though. Dog barking, "we are about to embark" and not even changing facial expression when he said it.
"old fantano" and "old fantano"
Not funny
Next Level Shit!
Don’t think he did that on purpose
Reacting to your old reviews is a really great idea to see how things have changed and respond to specific ideas you convey in the old ones, please do more of these
A completely original idea
It's honestly an easier/knockoff way of doing a redux review. I don't mean that negatively either, I think it's a good idea for Fantano in particular.
He can even rate them out of 10
he did this for a lot of other albums
Yuh
Melon literally hasn’t aged. I could not tell you how old this man was or is.
I think he's like 35 or 36 now, I could be wrong tho
@@coolguy8270 bet he's looked the same since he was 17
It's because black don't crack 😉😄
Not funny
When you realize Fantano was 26 when he dropped The Money Store review, time flies.
bruh
wait my man is approaching his 40 now? damn
Hey
@@sarang8585 *56
I listened to The Money Store on repeat while painting houses and doing landscaping/brush clearing in summer of 2012 in rural Arizona. It's an iconic album that I now own on vinyl, but whenever I listen to it I immediately get flashbacks to the feeling of Arizona heat and the smell of acrylic house paint.
Amazing how we all associate albums with different places and times depending on when we listened to them. I associate most Death Grips with walking home at night through unplowed snow, blizzards, bitter cold… cuz I listened to DG while walking to/from work during the winter in Michigan, 2015. My nose feels cold just thinking about it!
I listened to The Money Store eeevery single morning cycling on my way to school, for me I get the flashback feeling of moving my legs pedalling, guess it makes sense since it's such an energetic album
Not funny
that's pretty sick
that’s cruel
I watched you sooooo much in high school during this iconic era
How old r u?
You comment too much
Same, I was in my sophomore year of college when this album and review came out. Remember it like it was yesterday.
Kenneth instrumentals +rep
Everyone discovers Melon in highschool, I think
Missed opportunity to say "that wasn't very cash money of you" whenever you were being sarcastic
Missed opportunity to change the album to a NOT GOOD after realizing MC Ride is black too
wow this comment thread certainly is a fantano one huh
@@wspann1967 fr
@@wspann1967 only takes one man to do that
Not funny
I'm 90 porcent sure that Fantano made every album review the same day and just waits till the albums come out and that's why he looks the same
Maybe a cool idea: once reviews hit the 10 year mark they should be put into consideration for a redux
it could be an introduction for a lot of new people
i second that! after he did the plastic beach redux review i thought that would be more common.
Sounds cool but he’s done a lot of reviews so basically everyday he would have to redux
Not funny
@antiphon not funny
@@justanotherguy2590 to be fair this is kind of a mbdtf where the review is pretty much one of his most iconic of all time
One of my most prized possessions is my Fantano signed vinyl copy of The Money Store. I sheepishly asked him to sign it when he did a Q&A at my college. He seemed kind of annoyed as he was expecting genuine questions and there was a whole audience haha. I got in DG watching his videos and it was fun to have that kind of interaction with him.
L
Don’t lie. It was a MBDTF vinyl.
Sorry to hear man
Don't meet ur heroes Boi
I once tried to get LA Reed to sign my copy after they got dropped by him lol
Melon has aged incredibly
It's all those veggies ironically
Fantano is really itching for more death grips I can tell by him always dropping death grips videos occasionally that ig post probably got him excited again for more death grips
im thinking hes excited for more deathgrips
Bro I doubt they coming back, andy started his own record company and shit lmao, call me out on it if they do. (I hope they do)
@@letopcat2618 seeing them do other music projects just solidifies, for me at least, that they're still musicians at core, well Andy and zach. Haven't seen ride online in a while so they could be waiting on him
@@randomsomeguy156 well granted, ive never seen ride online. Only zach and andy
@@letopcat2618 Ride Is (Not) Online
Man, this gave me an incomprehensible rush of nostalgia.

@@antiphon000 I wasn't meaning to be funny; I'm not like those edgelords who can't stop making cringe jokes in Fantano's comments.
@@jordanestes1997 Awesome my friend :)
Can't believe music was invented 10 years ago, time sure flies fast when you love DG.
Draaaaaaiiiiiin Gaaaaaaaaaaaang
Fantano is really claiming that he's Anthony from theneedledrop.
Anthony! I grew up in Cheshire and used to come into Rossini’s all time to get pizza with my dad. Always saw you going hard af in the kitchen with the blue bandana, you made some bangin pizza. Congrats on the success! 10/10 channel
This review definitely turned me on to Death Grips. I definitely didn’t take to it immediately due to its abrasiveness (I was 12/13) but over the years The Money Store has become one of my favorite albums ever and helped me realize the beauty in abrasive, loud, glitchy and experimental music across multiple genres. Much love to Fantoine and the Grips 💛
Corrupted at a young age
Agreed
Not funny
Rather than Mr. Fantano turning me onto Death Grips it was the other way around. I found the band, liked what I heard, and was searching what others had to say and this review was right there in the results list.
Lol
"Rather than Mr. Fantano turning me onto Death Grips it was the other way around. He turned Death Grips onto me" - how my brain thought that was going
@@B---tw3kh Nah, that was all me who did that.
Yo me too, my first Fantano video was the Money Store review, I had listened to The Money Store on vacation about three years ago and was working my way through their discography when I decided to look up some reviews to find out if other people liked them as much as me. Finding Fantano's channel did lead me to a few musicians though, like Melt Banana, SPELLLING, and Little Simz.
I've listened to this album sooo many times over the years. Hacker is still among my top favorite songs of all time, in fact it might just be my #1. The band is just not the same without you. Your contributions were invaluable.
Thumbs up for the hacker love!! Lol one of my favorites as well
dg is trash and overrated
Not funny
@@SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand ok
@@antiphon000 ok
This review is iconic . The hooks montage, "Listening to The Money Store is like joining a gang". All truly iconic.
Kinda crazy to think Anthony had positive things to say about logic at one point, even if it was almost a decade ago.
To be fair I definitely remember when logic first hopped on the scene, it was all me and my friends were bumping. Also what the hell happened to C Dot Castro?? I still go back and listen to boomerang, that song has definitely stood the test of time. If you had told me back then that logic would release some of the worst hip hop projects of the decade I definitely would not have believed you. Crazy shit man.
@@royceisthebestrapper7686 i think Logic and Castro split ways at some point a few years ago for whatever reason but I’m pretty sure they’re friends again now
Royceisthebestrapper man old logic’s wordplay + flow was so strong. Even up to U.P. and T.I.T.S. he could still hold his own. One of my favorite old lines: “Now if pro is the opposite of con, what’s the opposite of progress?”
@@brown-eyedcheese5440 that's pretty clever
And Anthony still thinks Andy is called Flatlander to this day
Damn, 10 years already
I loved the skip edits! I thought it was cool. I loved the Cal Chuchesta skits too. Truly a great era to be a needle drop.
Can't believe Fantano invented Death Grips
Either his mic quality went up or he got more confident in talking about the music. If you watch is old reviews compared to his reviews now he seemed much more quiet and hesitant then
both
@@flzrian3623 I agree
the daily grind and youtube-money made the melon thicc.
10 years of experience
@@nonypomina7165 10 years of mass cultivation
"This thing sits on a throne of its own design and nobody's watching because the picture is just too horrifying to stare at". That's a cool way to put it, not gonna lie
this review basically started my spiral into becoming a music nerd
I had this classmate in college who once asked me if I had heard of the album The Money Store. When I asked him who the artist was, he said Anthony Fantano. That's how I discovered this guy's channel lol
Waiting for that Exmilitary is a 10 redux, Fantano.
I'm really glad you release our private conversations for others to hear, anthony!
I cited this review for my final paper of Rhetoric class this past semester. The essay was about The Money Store and the niche it inhabits in experimental music while still pertaining to hip hop. You explain everything regarding its influences and sound so well. I had many of these moments memorized by the time I finished. Love you Melon.
Wow I just turned 12 years old when the album came out. Time sure does fly by. now I’m trapped in Anthony’s basement tied to the radiator. please send help…
This review brings back a lot of amazing memories. I was a sophomore in high school at the time and had been watching Anthony's videos for over a year. He'd already put me on to some other artists, and I remember being active on music boards and getting really into Death Grips after they dropped Ex Military. I don't know if I've ever been more excited for an album than I was for the Money Store - I bought a vinyl copy when it dropped on Record Store Day, saw the review, and a good friend and I both freaked out that it was the first 10 given. A couple years passed and I was finally able to see them live, which is still one of the best performances I've ever seen. I saw them live a few times over the years, and even if I go a while without listening to them, the music holds up great. They're easily the active group I associate the most with my teenage years, and I'll always have love for Fantano for being a part of a lot of those memories. Been a wild decade!
I put this album on every time I'm fighting for my life in the restroom.
I’ve been watching since I saw your Exmilitary review waaaay back. Still loving the content. Thanks for the years of helping me expand my musical palette.
Cant believe it was 10 years ago since Fantano learned to swim.
I’d love to see you do this for each of your 10s and 0s especially as their ten year anniversaries come up!
I remember that the description of The Fever you gave really got to me when I first watched the review, I thought it was a really clever analogy. Still think about it from time to time after all these years. Legendary review.
I got into Death Grips because of this review, as well as the "Exmilitary is a masterpiece" vid about a month ago. Since then all other music has been dead to me. I blame you Melon.
I was 18 years old in 2012, browsing /mu/ at the time when i entered a "post the last song you listened to" thread and i clicked on a link to "I Want It I Need It". I was hooked immediately. CZcamsd more Grips and came across the melon. Seen Death Grips live 3 times now.
This review turned me on
To death grips
6 months ago. When I first found your channel. Since then, I've listened to this album, simz, injury reserve, and low because of you. Thanks for helping me find new music to listen to!
Tony I know you're not going to read this but would you ever consider doing a decade long death grips retrospect, specifically about their influence on the music landscape? I just think it's crazy that Tyler the Creator and David Bowie have openly expressed and admiration for the band
Why is it crazy that Tyler the Creator did?
David Bowie is dead thoug
@@HonerableG He still took inspiration from them for his swan song Blackstar,which itself was a beast of an album
check out the deep cuts guide to death grips. oliver did a pretty cool dive into their discography.
@@ffwlpe i mean it’s not like fantano has pretty much reviewed anything the band has released (except maybe the self titled ep and a couple of side projects like black google which isn’t really an album)
This was the review that REALLY got me into your channel tbh
Im fine with this album being a 10 but I also think that Death Grips made albums after this that were better and only didn't get a 10 because TMS already did
yeah i agree
Niggas On The Moon, Bottomless Pit and Exmilitary are top 3 and imo better than TMS
As proven by his Death Grips Tier List, Bottomless Pit and Year of the Snitch are also 10's.
I find that The Money Store is their catchiest release by far, lots of hooks and beats that people who might not like death grips would enjoy, it's very "poppy" but not in a bad way.
No Love Deep Web is my favorite of theirs by far though. That is such a visceral brutal album and Ride must have been in a dark place because he's talking shit throughout that entire record. Niggas on the moon has the best beats/samples they've done too.
@@StEvEn420BrUlE NOTM fellow appreciator 🙏
Can't believe since it's been 10 years since music was invented
This was the review that made me a subscriber. I first heard of you because of your MDTF. I couldn't believe someone would rate it a 6/10. I watched a few other reviews of albums that I loved which you also rated a 6, and I thought I would check this out to see what kind of music you would rate a 10. I listened to Money Store and immediately fell in love. Since then, Death Grips has become my favorite band along with countless other artists that I have discovered through your reviews. You are my go to music source, and I'm happy to be a part of your journey for about 10 years.
Thanks for bring the band Death Grips back Anthony. I can't wait for your new Collab album with them. Thanks.
Can’t wait till Melom reacts to his reaction of his money store review ten years from now
I am now turned on
To Death Grips of course
This one was pretty important to me. I was like 20 at the time and I saw you gave this a ten saved up my money and bought the cd. It really changed a lot for me personally.
I actually only discovered this album back in 2019 when you did your decade countdown of best albums! After checking it out, I’ve been hooked ever since! I’m just gutted that I was deprived of such a great record over my college years! I definitely agree that to this day this album warrants a 10!
Love the reacting to old videos things you do on this channel sometimes. Please do more🥺☺️
Nice pfp!
Now fantano officially becomes a reviews reviewer, absolute innovator
Just listened to this album yesterday. Very few other records in the past 10 years have stuck with me the way this one has.
your exmilitary review is your most important for me. came up as a recommendation while watching your review of bastard back in the day and man oh man i’m glad. death grips is my fav artist!
I definitely agree about the record being both heady and aggressive, and how rare that attribute is. I think the only other records off the top of my head that fill those qualities are "Relationship of Command" by 'at the drive-in' and "Symbolic" by Death (although you could argue a few metal or punk records that fill that camp).
Not funny
@@antiphon000 oh the comment was very serious, I think those are good records.
@@aqwthetroop it’s okay guy we’re all wrong sometimes
gud bos
Sonic youth tier list!
You should do more of these videos!! so much nostalgia
This was the first review I saw of yours. It popped up while I was searching for Death Grips music videos not long after this record came out. I agreed with you all of your points. Since then, I found out that this was one of only a few records in the past decade that I'd agree with you on.
Just curious, do you think he under rates or over rates stuff? And what other records do you agree on?
Amazing to think that music was invented 10 years ago
This review feels so recent it’s like I’m watching a recap from the future. 10 years flew past. TMS is a modern classic.
I only recently started taking recommendations from Fantano and the way he built up DG and The Money Store made it the first band I checked out and it was totally worth it, I've been loving them.
Melon wrote the whole script for the Huey Lewis & The News scene in American Psycho.
Oldthony revisiting his old reviews is all we need in this year.
This review actually turned me on to Anany Fortuno, not to Death Grips. The video was my first encounter with Fantano, which I initiated by actively searching for Death Grips reviews back then iirc. I merely wanted to find someone who shared my opinion on the album to feed my ego, you know, I didn't really expect to stick around for this long lol. So good job, Anthony
Talking about the speed and the spacing of the video is pretty funny, as I just watched Folding Idea's video on vlogs.
He made an interesting note about how 10 years ago, a slower pace was the norm, but now, speed and jump cuts are essentially the accepted format and looking retroactively seems so foreign to us. The meta now is rapid-fire.
I just finished it today (I listen to it a few times over the course of a few days) and I was honestly surprised by how easy it was to listen to. It isn’t the first abrasive/abstract hip hop album I’ve listened to (At this point I’ve done Madvillainy, Some Rap Songs, and LP!). It was quite enjoyable and catchy (for what lyrics I could actually understand), so thanks for introducing it to me.
Hustle Bones is killer. Great album!
the money store came out during my last year of high school and really altered my musical taste. i knew it was something different when i heard it and this review validated a lot of my own thoughts on the record. i don't know how i got away with playing i've seen footage on the morning announcements
I'm rock hard right now but, I need to see more of this stuff.
This review definitely turned me on. It also got me into Death Grips. Thanks Tone!
This is absolutely true: the TMS review showed up in my CZcams feed out of nowhere a couple years ago. It got me curious enough to go find the album and then I lost the first 2 months of the pandemic to Death Grips.
Finally, after 10 years I know how to feel about your review of The Money Store. Thank you, melon
Death Grips is if Mozart and Beethoven collabed
It’s just ironically beautiful to hear this review and think how much this record changed my life.
To be legit, this might be one of the
most recognizable pieces of music journalism ever.
Okay Melon but you should know that no money store gets you enough cash for a hair transplant
Can believe music was created only 10 years ago 🥺😢
The drop on 'get got' will never ever get old. Revolutionary album,.
14:28 scary how accurate those video recs are
Anthony has more hair now than 10 years ago, impressive how slow his hair grows
Glad to see my favourite death grips member reacting to fantano.
I found out about death grips from your reviews around 2013-2014 and this review was a big part of me checking it out
Please release a review of this review in 10 years
Good to know you changed your score to 5 after realizing MC Ride is black, Tony
Didnt know you work for the FBI Melon, I was just thinking about how you must be on some elevated plane of existence for giving this album a 10.
One of the first videos I ever saw from you. Can't remember what drew me to the channel or Death Grips but it was the start of me seriously getting into music during high school. Got the dog gimp mask as my first tattoo before college lol
love you anthony!!
Wow can’t believe you haven’t changed since 2002
Lol
