Kanye: Ima fix wolves
Anthony: *Ima fix the review*
Mr Hello why?
Goated pfp XO 🖤
nice mdm pfp 👀
great comment
I think Saint Pablo mainly bumped up the score.
I thought Kanye went so crazy he dropped the same album twice when I saw the title.
BlackySpeakz Collab !!!!
ayy blacky
That is something only he could pull off

You gave Life of Pablo a 6 but gave Life of Pablo an 8?
You're a simple boy. Your mother must love you.
Kanye be ahead of his time.
Its worth a 6 or weak 7 according to me.
Cuz 7 8 9 !
I hate being bipolar.
It’s awesome
2016: TLOP is a 6/10
2018: TLOP is a 8/10
I'm excited for that 10/10 in 2020 when Ye runs for president

holy shit you predicted a 10 from anthony fantano
that moment when kanye got a 10 already this year and who knows he might do it again
Its gonna get a 12 in 2022

greatest tweet of all time don't @ me
He got Andre 3000 on a bonus track just to say “30 hours”
Ikr that shit was funny asl
SO HE WAS 3 STACKS🙄🙄🙄 I feel so stupid
Funny enough, Andre 3000 was saying “through the islands” not “30 hours”.
@@pankeyreal Kanye pioneered the "making words in samples sound different". Case in point: Through The Wire.
@@pankeyreal What are you talking about, the original song he sampled for 30 hours says "through the islands" he modified it so it now sounds like 30 hours. It is like what he did on 'lost in the world'
Saint Pablo is one of the greatest songs Kanye has ever released

5:29 - “Kanye raps about his wife” 8/10
Chance: raps about his wife... 0/10
yeah cause Kanye done it like twice, chance done it about 105 times
ttrystt Cuz Chance thought he could rap about his life and people would give a fuck like he’s Kanye but he’s not so he flopped
Kanye's life is crazy and controversial whereas Chance's life is just simple without much controversies so people would be more interested in Kanye's life
Hysteria 55 because ppl care about Kanye’s life no one cares abt Chance
Chance’s style with his music is exactly the same and that is honestly his biggest problem
His albums are becoming increasingly more focused on his life and doesn’t have any relatable or interesting messages

That's a weird way to spell MBDTF, Fantano. And, that's an interesting artwork choice for MBDTF, I hadn't seen that version released before. But, either way, nice to see you changed your mind and gave it a 10

Melon is doing everything he can to avoid reviewing Culture II
Who’s here after he gave mbdtf a 6/10 again?
@Jeeses99 Waiting another 10 years for melon to give mbdtf a 5 gives me purpose.
Yeezus nezt
@redwarrior118 didn't know he went to a 5 scoring rate now, the album truly is a 5/5 😂
'favourite Kanye album of this decade' aww melon. You weren't ready. You weren't ready to see the ghosts
KIDS SEE GHOSTS IS A KIDS SEE GHOSTS ALBUM NOT A KANYE ALBUM
Shut up idiot
@@4am555 technically, it is...
i thought classic week was over?
He is stalling. He said he was going to review Culture II Which has over 20 tracks on it and is getting poor review. The only other top 10 album left to cover now is Black Coffee by Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart which is a blues rock album and he doesn't cover blues rock albums. Stalling allows him to find another alt rock or hip hop album to cover.
TURN THE 6 UPSIDE DOWN ITS AN 8 NOW

Blanket statement
Mert Erol he's legendary producer , but his lyrics are ok
Edit: my opinions, surprisingly, have changed, and i find his lyricism really cool in most tracks
Bro Jesus Walks or If you want something new Saint Pablo
Mert Erol def top five. He def is a musically genius
Am I the only one who loves 30 hours
its top 5 on this album
ikr that sample is insane

Its last for me fade might be worse tho
Speedin bullet 2 heaven REDUX REVEIW 10/10

Oh god no can we like sweep that album under the rug
Actually so far ahead of its time. Unironically a 10.

TRI TACOS how is it ahead of its time, you do understand rock/ hip hop fusion has been around forever right?
Melon's Redemption Arc
MakeAcid The climax of the redemption will be undoing his act of giving Lil Pump a DAMN.
YES
No More Parties in LA might be my favorite Kanye song of all time, his flow is amazing, the Kendrick feature is amazing, the sampling of so many different vocal clips and he stitches them together in a way that works together but still feels sporadic, the BASSLINE, 10/10 song
that and saint pablo both top 10 kanye songs
No More Parties in LA is the reason i’m rewatching all these reviews right now to see if mention the track. What a masterpiece
Madlib is the producer for that track. He’s one of the greatest sample choppees in hip hop history
I got the album on vinyl with all the original material. Kinda weird hearing Father Stretch My Hands without the choir.
Wassup
Hey
Yo
Hi
Whats good
he just noticed it was experimental hip hop
only love reaction ❤️
Wow, you gave The Life of Pablo an 8 but The Life of Pablo a 6?
The way 'Fade' transitions into 'Saint Pablo' is just perfect.
Jaake I just fade away
How? I didn’t really notice anything special about the transition.
@@possiblyimpossible6156 you're right, there is no special transition effect or anything, it's just they're in the same key and I find them to lead into each other amazingly mood wise
@@dpoisonedburritos
i know i'm a year late but there's an album named crash talk by schoolboy q with some really good transitions
(specifically, Gang Gang - Tales, and Die Wit Em - CrasH)
if you haven't heard the album, i'd recommend you to at least give those transitions a listen
The Life of Pablo is one of Kanye's best albums In my humble opinion. The reason why I love it so much besides the music is how he branded it and changed it overtime. This might sound weird but I think I am on to something here. The title, "The Life of Pablo" explains the meaning of the whole project. Last minute touches to songs, sporadic changes, Kanye not in the right state of mind, adding new songs, etc. He uses the title as symbolism for this album. This is him, this is "Pablo Picasso" who also did last minute changes to his works. Though the album has its flaws, it still brings a distortion that interests me while the artwork is aesthetically perfect for the vibe of it. I think its amazing.
the Pablo is also a reference to Saint Paul, who in the Spanish Catholicism is known as Pablo "Saint Pablo". Who went blind through a great light and through his faith in God, his vision was restored, hence the record opening up with Ultralight Beam, creating a parallel with the Light Paul saw
@Jeeses99 lol. Horrible list
Jeeses99 your list sucks
@Jeeses99 Horrible list but funny reply to Mad Nizz LOOOL
Jeeses99 give yeezus a second listen my dude
*sees thumbnail, eyes widen
*checks and makes sure it's not April Fools day

Vince Staples, Earl Sweatshirt and Kendrick are all underappreciated by the Melon too; experimental rap just isn't for him
nomoreheroes93 Bitch please
I get Vince and Earl but Kendrick? He gave Kendrick a 10 on TPAB and 9 on GKMC how does melon underrate him?
Sad, oh u nailed so f- good lmao
nomoreheroes93 he loves death grips lmao
FML is easily one of his most underrated songs.
Bryan Santos I don’t think any TLOP song is in contention for his most underrated song
@@killaman671 how
@@killaman671 I would say Frank's track but its not even really kanye and I don't know how popular it is
@@prince_flp not hard to understand my guy, is it hard to believe that on a universally beloved album there wouldn't be such a wide audience for every song, meaning that there is no true "underrated" song?

Yezzzeeee
I don’t understand why people don’t understand that the album artwork is literally a yin yang.. and thats what the album is legit about. Which one do you choose. And even if you choose a side you will be pulled back to the opposite side. Its just how life is. This album was amazing.
This album is wayyy better with saint Pablo on it
One of his most underrated songs imo
Nmpila is better
@@banana8949 same level imo, just that saint pablo doesn't get as much recognition as nmpila and other songs
you gave life of pablo a 6, but this an 8? smh melon

This album has always been totally fire.
Jamil Dhillon exactly.
The initial version was kinda shit tbh, I hated it for a long time until I recently came to the updated version, and now its definitely my 2nd favorite Kanye record.
Still is to this day man, definitely a top 3 Kanye album imo it’s fantastic
Lewis Hurley its top 2. kanyes weird personal side exposed in the best way. he faces his past of sex and fame to his future of family. complete genius album
*Melon changes kanye review from a 6 to an 8*
[Everyone liked that]
In 2016 TLOP is a 6/10
In 2018 TLOP is a 8/10
So I guess in 2020 it will be a 10
What year is kanye running for president?!?!?
The same year when MBDTF turns 10
Oh my God
Or a 0...
This is a logix
hindsight is 2020
Holy shit I can like this album now
This is a testament to the importance of mixing and mastering
Donda is TLOP 2. People are currently hating on it calling it bloated, inconsistent, half-baked, under-developed and pretty much everything they said about Pablo. So quickly do people forget history. When this dropped it was met with criticisms of Kanye being washed up, of the features saving the song, of it not having focus - hell the song I Love Kanye is about people comparing current Kanye to old Kanye.
And look at it now. Its considered his last great album. A certified classic. I'm just waiting for Donda's moment.
Does that mean donda will get updated?
@@mariokart9227 apparently it already has been. Slowly but surely mixes are being cleaned up and things are being added. A good example is there are not adlibs on Off The Grid during Fivio’s part
Donda is totally like TLOP's milder, sadder, but more at peace older brother.
man i sure hope you're right. After listening to the Yandhi tracks that were leaked, I think I'd really rather have had that. But man, Donda with finished production would rule.
@@aidan8473 yandhi would be a 8 or potentially a 9 if it was completed
You thought Ultralight Beam was hilarious?? Coldthany Heartano.
My ex looking back like a pillar of salt
lmao
Now reviews are being remastered too. Smh.
Anthony I love that you are willing to admit that tastes and perceptions change even as a music critic over time, or alterations to the album. I really respect this review because of it. So many times a critic is trying to cement that their first review or impression is the end-all-be-all of accuracy, but often times a relisten will change a perception, and often they're unwilling to change their views because they're too busy trying to defend themselves.
Ultralight Beam just does something to me when listening with headphones at full volume. It’s not my favourite Kanye song by far but it just gives you amazing shivers
Fantano be like Imma fix Pablo review
If he bleach his melon, and I get bleach on my t shirt, imma feel like a melon.
Teo Silverio-Castillo underrated comment
Saint Pablo, 30 hours, real friends and ultralight beam are some of my favourite kanye songs ever
Call me crazy but did this boi just say it was his craziest most experimental idea when the 3 albums before this were 808s, MBDTF, then Yeezus?

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Redux Review: 9/10
decided to finally give this album a listen after watching this review. Now I can't stop listening to it. Thanks, melon.
I think a big part of the "hearing the album for the first time again" was the fact that the press rollout was so huge that when you heard it the first time it was hard to truly appreciate it, so going back 2 years later it cleansed the perception, plus it was mixed better and edited
Wow, get ready for people begging for a MBDTF redux review
wtf I love TLoP now

I know you're being sarcastic but god I hope that people aren't actually like this
Kingolimar354 the joke couldn’t have gone over your head more

This album has an insane replay value. I could listen to Waves, or any song off of TLOP for that matter, a million times and I wouldn’t get bored of it.
TURN IT UP.

You didn’t talk about Waves :(

I wouldn’t say polished but that’s the point
"21 Grammy's, superstar family."
It's official. *you give this an 8 but MBDTF a 6!?*

10. Watch the Throne (Strong 5)
9. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (Light 6)
8. Donda (Light 7)

5. Graduation (8)
4. The Life of Pablo (Decent 8)
3. Late Registration (9)
2. The College Dropout (10)
1. Kids See Ghosts (10)

So as someone trying to possibly buy/stream/download this album legally, how do I find it? It's not on youtube (I have youtube red), and I don't think it's on Apple music, even almost a year after initial release :/ Advice anyone?
ladies and gentlemen… we got him
Ira Crooks alright cenk
God has spoken
This album did age well, and reviewing it again is a nice thing to do, but you've opened a whole new can of worms by re-reviewing an album
Relliktherapper that's how it be with all of kanye's music, go listen to power it's hard to believe it came out 8 years ago
The album itself physically changed between now and his last listen. I think that's a fair justification to re-review
I don’t think so. Not every album has been altered and remixed numerous times since its initial release. This is clearly a special case.
special can*
u r a special c aawf 2 eme meee anty
This is probably my favourite Kanye album, just love the production style on this record, the amount of variety it has too is so good
I love how at 6:55 he basically describes what the album cover is depicting
