- This is my reaction to Anthony Fantano / TheNeedleDrop's review of my latest project "SCRAPYARD." This is such a full circle moment for me and for those who have been following my music for a while so I figured I had to stop by the youtubes and give yall a little vid :)

Quadeca - Scrapyard ALBUM REVIEW
• Quadeca - Scrapyard MI... - Hudba
Technically, if Quadeca has not released a direct-to-camera youtube video in 2 years, then he cannot be considered a youtube rapper. However, once the seal is broken, he is then legally binded to be categorised as a "youtube rapper" again.

i thought you were connereatspants
Hey man. Glad you’re back. I am really sad you have given up on those CZcams raps. Not crazy about the new hippy music you are making. Would love for you to collaborate with up and coming rapper Tom Macdonald 🙏 thanks homie
Finally something I can stand behind. Scrapyard? More like Crapyard
really wish we could go back to something in the style of War feat. Dax
Tom Macdonald 😭
Did he respond to your messages though brad?
please collab with Tom he’s the number one independent rapper in the world (he said so himself)
Thank you Riley John savage for getting way to many friends on the record
Im meeting him at the Philly show, gotta thank him in person
Wait… quadonka knows Tony hawks nephew!?

For reals? What did Riley do?

I get it Quad, I was upset too whenever Fantano spent the entire review saying you've fallen off since Wii Music Fire

Last time I was listening to quadeca and joji everyday I was also watching your content bruh when did you fall off?
Hi kawiti
if quadeca went from a 5 to a 7 to a 9, that only means that the next one gonna be a 11

HOLY SHIT QUADECA IS BACK! The world is healing :)
That's what I've been SAYING about scrapyard vs IDMTHY. I prefer IDMTHY because it feels more otherworldly and the tracks feel fuller (like bigger scope) like IDMTHY is your magnum opus masterpiece but then scrapyard is more like a collage of lots of little masterpieces that were left over
same feelings :)
That’s why it’s called scrapyard
I do agree with fantano that haunt you feels less consistent in terms of track quality
I feel like the bigger scope is why I don’t like IDMTHY as much as Scrapyard. It’s good but it’s not something that I’ll relisten to a lot, the sound can be almost draining with how grand it is. With Scrapyard I get all of these amazing ideas, emotions sounds, and risk in a more digestible and consistent project. I also just generally can relate to more of what he’s talking about on Scrapyard. It’s an album that I think I will always be able to go back to and enjoy, it’s addicting to listen to. Also like with Quadeca said is just more fun and easier to listen to
I feel like scrapyard has more like songs? I feel like idmthy has way more interludes than lyrical songs. I think the like only lyrical songs on idmthy are born yesterday, tell me a joke, knots, fantasyworld, and cassani division. Idk maybe thats just me but thats my opinion
The actual improvement Quadece has had from like 2019 to now is CRAAAZZYYY
Bad internet rapper --- Voice memos and Voice memos --- From me to you was the craziest double level up
@@JoaquinStubbs-ur4mkvoice memos is still my shit
@to_ It's a good album, it's when he actually started to tap into his authentic self to make music, it's just he didn't have all the insane production chops he does now. He's also maturing, you can hear it. That's a sign of a great artist - you think nothing can be better than what they put out, until the next thing just is.
A new Quadeca video after years we're so back baby 🔥🔥
I guess you can say Quadeca is “Back by Popular Demand”
He needs to drop that
He needed to release that on all streaming services
let me get my dior dior jacket
I love that "We made you" reference
my Quadeca stocks just quadrupled in price
Quad used to talk about how getting a 7 from the melon was all he wanted to achieve as a musician. He must be feelin pretty good about himself. He deserves to
the part at 8:40 ish where u talk abt gaze being applied to more than just guitars, genuinely got me hyped for whatever way u decide to explore that in your next album, like just imagine the possibilities
check out jane remover, and quannic

if scrapyard was better than idmthy, that means if you release a scrapyard of the songs that were cut from scrapyard, it will be better than scrapyard. easy 10
20:33 Can confirm. Genuinely didn't know anything about you before I saw the Scrapyard review, listened to the album, and now you've got yourself another fan. The Fantano bump is real! XD
join us🔪

listen to war ft. dax. its peak quadeca

@@ayobruh5593 at first I thought you might've been fuckin' with me, but then the verse kicked in and maaaan the flow!
I have been here since out of order it’s been so awesome to see the growth. Genuinely couldn’t describe the excitement!
i was WAITING to see his reaction since i saw the review, i knew hed be gassed about the 9 😭
Quadeca's actually Edging us with this Vanisher stuff, I SWEAR TO GOD IF IT DROPS THIS YEAR I WILL DIE.
REAL I NEED VANISHER THIS YEAR
Its looking likely it will drop this year with what he said at Coachella :)
@@zombie24xx93 WHATD HE SAY I HAVNT SEEN COACHELLA CLIPS???
@@thefiretheice9775 He said "New Album coming soon its almost finished"
You’re an inspiration man. I made music as a middle schooler and high schooler and was bullied mercilessly over it, even though I’m 20 now I still carry that negative voice in the back of my head that says there’s no point in trying. Seeing you get to where you’re at now makes me feel like with enough hard work I can make something that can touch other people in a positive way
You got this bro
@@isskaymakesvideos I appreciate that 🙏🙏🙏💙
Don't worry, just focus on making your craft better and better. Perhaps you can grow to produce something really amazing. Just stay determined and passionate. May God bless you on your journey brother
@@bossini435 I appreciate the kind words🙏🙏🙏💙 I’ve been doing all I can to push myself further creatively every day so hopefully if I keep it up I can continue to grow
@@dstopianmusic hard work pays off remember
i think haunt you is better too. but i think why fantano and other people probably rated it higher is because it’s more palatable and easier to digest than some of the heart wrenching soundscapes of haunt you. its been so amazing to see you grow since voice memos keep it up goat 🐐
Nah, I don’t think it’s that. Fantano clearly doesn’t have a problem with heart wrenching (see Lingua Ignota lol)
@@juliusseizure591 im not saying the heart wrenching soundscapes n lyrics are an issue but it’s more so easier and fun to listen to scrapyard than haunt you
Or maybe cuz he liked it more 🤔🤔🤔
The numbers are based on his enjoyment of the album
@@SilentPhoenix__ ya im just theorizing as to WHY he and others mightve rated it higher
The first Quadeca youtube content in 2 years is about Fantano giving him a 9, what a legend
Texas blue is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever heard, thank you releasing these songs
dude i’m so so proud of how far you’ve come! i’ve been a fan for years and years and finally seeing a 9 for a quad album makes me so happy! you did it king
i was so surprised seeing a regular yt vid. been here for years and will be here for years to come. love you quad❤
2:03 I personally liked Scrapyard more too ngl. IDMTHY is a more cohesive project, but certain moments (for me) dragged on a little or there were a few places I didn't love the sound. I really enjoyed every song on Scrapyard.. although obviously I really like both.
I don't mind if Scrapyard is your fav album from him
However it feels kinda missing something on scrapyard
Still it's his one of the best album from him
I might have agreed with you on first listen, but IDMTHY grew on me so much and it all clicks for me now
@@prodigion1 THATS WHAT IM SAYING
Also mind if I gave u this new artist
He is a mumble rapper but also a good melodic rapper
Would u try to listen to
Deko
?
:)
@@prodigion1 idmthy grew on me immensely as well, but scrapyard for me was a 9 on first listen and has only grown on me since then. Idmthy is probably about 8.8 to a 9 but honestly scrapyard is inching closer and closer to a 10 with each time I listen to it.
I mean its a classic thing with a lot of art, someone will put a lot of effort into something and get a decent response, then they’ll release something they never thought would be big and its seen as a masterpiece
I love to see it! I can’t believe after all these years you’re still putting out amazing music! I remember listening to “who would’ve thought” over and over again and refreshing for hours on end for voice memos to come out! Genuinely one of the best artists out there!
From someone who got into your stuff after the IDMTHY review from fantano, you are truly inspiring. Your momentum as a creative is insane and I can't wait to see what you got cooking up
I honestly don't think it's possible for you to be considered a "youtube rapper" ever again. You've just progressed too much. That being said, you should continue making videos like this so I can keep looking at your beautiful face 💪

😂
guide dog hits so hard its unreal. this mixtape is sooo good and you should be proud of your work, you evolved so much. keep it up!!!!
I remember receiving that Quadeca FMTY poster with the QR code for Being Yourself and being absolutely awestruck at the new weird and interesting ideas quadratic formula was experimenting with. Quonka Did.
Crazy to see how far you've come. Been following you and listening to your music since the first style of rap video. SO PROUD OF YOU KEEP IT UP BEN
I was literally just thinking once I saw the review that we needed another video of you breaking down the review for old time sake🤣, glad my wish came to fruition. Also congrats on Scrapyard, one of my fav album/mixtapes of the last 5 years!👏🏼
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE THE REVIEW DROPPED SO PROUD OF EVERYTHING YOUVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHING QUAD!!
regular video after 2 incredible albums i’m so blessed
ily quad, been here since Voice Memos and have been a fan of all your tracks, KEEP GRINDING
damn i remember when i would watch quad videos 7 years ago reacting to his football matches with jonny zizou lmaoo im so proud of you we’ve really seen you do it all
Fucking hell, i remember back when Quadeca was "beefing" with KSI & FIFA videos hahahah, crazy to see the progression now, SCRAPYARD is amazing.
Very happy to hear your thoughts on Fantano’s review and hear about your process. Thanks for continuing the tradition. Wild to see your progress, and I continue to be excited to see your growth as an artist!
we love to see it, watching ur growth over the years has been insane and i look forward to the next album
I never gave your music proper attention until seeing the 9/10 in the description. I was reluctant to check it out because I don't wanna admit how much influence fantano has over me, but I loved it and am hyped to give Haunt You a listen
GUESS WHO! WENT THREE YEARS SINCE POSTING AND IS BACK UPON MY FEED
GUESS WHO! IS GIVING ME THE W QUADINGLE CONTENT I NEEEED

YEAH TRUE, I PLAY THE VIDEOS ON MY SCREEN LIKE MY NAME'S XQC

I lived long enough to see another Quadeca video let's go!!!
Quaddddd. Love this!! CZcams return. Congrats this new stuff is sick!!!
Thanks for reading my comment, QUAD DID
QUAD DID
i am in awe that quadbike has posted a yt video for the first time in 20 years. we need wii music fire 2, beamin 2 (with quackity), whatnot, and the iggy feature. once you accomplish all of those musical feats i like to believe that you will come back and do videos with crypt for the rest of your career.
aye we’ve been waiting for the quad W and i feel this is the biggest one. i remember imdontai reviewing FMTY and i was soo hype only up from here!
Been here since Voice Memos and so gassed to see the arc you’ve had as an artist and so glad you’re getting your due respect.
I'm so interested in seeing quads creative process. Even him just goofing around in his DAW would be a bible to me.
Quadeca is my favorit CZcams alternative, experimental, ambient, folktronica with a hint of hip hop thats a singer songwriter producer artist:) I loved Wii music fire and cant wait for the second song he ever make!
Holy almost first, congrats Quad, love the album so much, one of the best of the year for sure
I'm so happy that you've come this far. It's crazy seeing the musical progression of Voice memos to Scrapyard. Can't wait to listen to what you put out next.
I LIKE TO HIDE A LITTLE LESS
I LIKE TO CRY A LITTLE MORE
Fav on the album fr
WAY TOO MANY FRIENDS is my favorite song on the entire mixtape, it’s hard to believe you had to be convinced to put it on!
Riley from Hivemind truly had to put his whole Rilussy out to convince Quad to drop Way Too Many Friends
I’m just happy to see another YT vid from you, it truly feels like a full circle moment. Kinda like the full circle of corpses left by Dignan and his goons outside my front lawn back in ‘98
Man I’ve been here since voice memos ur growth not only as an artist but as a person has been amazing to watch
The thing I like about Fantano, even if a lot of the time I disagree with his final rating, is that you always know it's his own personal experience with the record, and he expects you to have different thoughts about the stuff he reviews.
Also, once you get a feel for what he likes, you can pretty easily tell how you're going to enjoy something based on his review. He'll talk about how something is too poppy or corny or something like that, then give it a 7 overall and you'll know that for your tastes it'll be a 9 (because you love corny poppy stuff) or actually just a 5 (because that stuff really tanks an album for you).
You're right, in that the last album is probably the better one, and should probably receive the higher score, but that's not Melon's taste, and at least he's honest about it.
"I'm not a good guitar player, I'm just good at making guitar sound good" resonates so hard with me. It's such a good summation of how I feel about my own playing and song writing. I can't shred or anything but once the whole arrangement is put together I'm always pretty proud of my work. Shout out to all the mid guitar bois just making the most of what they've got and still getting light 9s 🙌
so proud to be a long time supporter ben, keep up the great work!
ive been a fan since like 2017 crazy to see you grow musically as i get older
I’m so proud of you man. Quad Did this
Honestly people act like Melon is just a guy and to some extent that's true, but given his longevity in the public eye and relationship with the music industry itself a Fantano strong 9 is a prestigious thing to be proud of. Quad has grown so much as an artist and I'm here for it, congratulations and here's hoping for good things in the future for him
Yeah, it’s kind of like hating on Rotten Tomatoes, so many people hate them, but at the end of the day, everyone goes to check out the scores
i’ve been subbed to you since insecure and its crazy to me how as my music taste has evolved as i’ve gotten older you’ve evolved and expanded my music taste as well.. i’m constantly not suprised but impressed by the quality of work that you’ve been able to produced and it makes me so happy to see you get your flowers for the work you’ve put it
Congrats Ben! love your vids here and there to kind of remind us that you seem well.
Scrapyard is easily my favorite project you've made I'm obsessed. Idmthy works as a cohesive album better probably, but song for song Scrapyard wins easy. Each song feels unique and conceptual and is produced ao fuckin well. There's some songs that arent for me but I still think those are great too.
Listened to scrapyard after the review, and was seriously blown away. I listen to a wide array of genres, and consider myself a pretty devoted ”music listener”, and with scrapyard I’m just infatuated with the sounds, progression, performance and attention to detail these songs have.
QUAD DID
So happy for you dude!!! Im in for the long run. Hope success keeps coming your way great album truly!
was so waiting for this! congrats my friend
I'm with you 1000% quad. I honestly thought IDMTHY was a 10, scrap was a 7 or 8. Concept, palatability, instrumentation, lyrics, and everything. Just about everything was 2 or 3 points better on IDMTHY. He's high
Not to say I don't like scrapyard. It's dope. I like how weird you got with it. Personally I prefer it when your vocals are mixed more traditionally so they sit at the front of the track but it's a great album personal preference aside
@@jacobs9391 I think the concept of idmthy was excellently pulled off from a lyrical writing stand point. The production is also incredible. But scrapyard in terms of just sheer enjoyability imo is better and the production seems much more creative and impressive. Also it’s important to mention that fantano rates things based on what they are presented to be and what they are trying to accomplish. If quad slapped the title “vanisher” on scrapyard and called it a concept album he would probably give a 3. But since it was presented as a mixtape and thus more of a compilation of songs rather than a concept album like idmthy, it’s a 9 in the context of a mixtape.
@@jacobs9391 and also the production and instrumentation on every single one of the scrapyard tracks is better than even the best produced idmthy tracks. and keep in mind I love every track on idmthy.
Ngl hivemind converted me to a quadeca fangirl
i can’t believe that you got to this point over the years i’ve been listening to you, it’s insane how far you have come and i’m proud of the kid🎉
Your music has evolved more than any other artist I've seen lately. You're are gonna do amazing things with this music fr
Calling him "Tony" is just an extra level of baller. Good work bro
THANK YOU RILEY!
Quad I still remember hearing you speak in that squadeca discord server like 3 years ago to others like me and my friend who put me on to your shit and I have to say I knew from the advice you were giving us fans that you’d some day be getting the recognition you deserved. recently I haven’t been as tapped in to your music as I should be, but you got me through quarantine with fmty and Idmthy was an absolute masterpiece and I fucking love how far you’ve come bro. Keep it up I fw you.
dude i love your music but i got to say its good to see you on youtube again. keep making dope music!
Fantano was wrong about one thing: Quadeca’s growth as an artist has not been surprising at all. We were saying this guy is gonna be a great artist in 2018. It waa pretty obvious if you were paying attention.
Considering how most CZcams artists were, Poppy being an exceptions with an 8/10, whenever a CZcams artist creates something that doesn’t feel like you need to know the CZcamsr to feel attached is genuinely crazy
MAKE IT LOWER IS CRAZY
I love your collars with hivemind and its awesome that your back on your reaction videos, would love to see more vids with them and just on your channel, been a fan for 6 years now ish
I was really bummed when I didnt see a reaction video to the IDMTHY review, so it's nice to see one for this project. Love these videos
Yeah dude, Guide dog is fucking unbelievable.
Guide dog texas blue, easier, pretty, dustcutter are my favs
No, I don’t listen to albums on shuffle. That’s a crime.
W QUAD, been locked in since 2021 its crazy how for youve come from voice memos to now
Congrats bro. That album is phenomenal, I been listening to it non stop since it released!
Congrats dude. Your progression has been amazing to watch
Dude you deserve this so much thank you for making such real and vulnerable art. I really can't put into words how much that shit means to me 🫡
Long live Quadinkle fr 🙏🏻💯
Love this. Brings me back to the old days. You’re still a natural talking to the camera.
This is actually so beautiful to see
Been a silent off and on viewer since 2018, was in 7th grade then, a freshman in college now. Incredible mixtape and I can’t wait till the next album.
So happy for you Quad, you worked your ass off for this. The Scrapyard mixtape was amazing, and it was cool to hear your process on Scrapyard and songwriting in general. Like the whole Shoegaze thing. There is an argument that cloud rap itself with how fuzzy and lofi it can get has an almost shoegaze quality in the synthwork at points.
Big quad's, your music has improved massively man you are a fucking beast so keep going its beautifal
One of the most humbling things I’ve seen this year so far. Great job quad. Smash the next album👊🏼
Man props to you Q!!! Much love to you bro u killin it!!
This album feels like an entire journey. It has been one of my favorite albums to listen to during work when I need to decompress and vent out some stress. The many different voices and sounds you play throughout keeps me fully invested into it every time I listen to it. It's honesty such a beautiful record imo.
bro i missed this type of video i remember first finding you at the ksi shit like 5 years ago the transition has been crazy all this shit is fire
This literally makes me so happy
What’s It To Him have me chills and almost made me cry at how beautiful it was, so you deserve the 9. Congratulations Quadriporticus! 🎉
