CHIEF KEEF - ALMIGHTY SO 2 / 2024 / 43B / CHICAGO DRILL
7/10
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right? - Hudba
If fantano got more than $8 in reparations this would be a 10
how did you find out he only got $8? I am genuinely curious
Fantano is not light skin like NBA Youngboy so maybe he gets like a $1
doo doo under the bed
@@croissant_productionsjust. black.
@@croissant_productions😂😂😂
Seeing Jesus as the worst track is blasphemy
I see what you did there
Pun was FULLY intended there
IT'S HERESY
he need to be locked up for saying that lmfao
This is one of the few fantano comments that made me smirk
You only gave it a 7 because you are only getting 8 dollars for reparations
Lighthany Fantegro
💀💀💀
😂😂
Best comment lmao
🤣🤣🤣
Jesus in least favourite is absolutely diabolical
figuratively and literally
what do you expect from the same guy who gave finally rich a 4…
fr Jesus is top 3
Favorite on the album by far
Yeah that shit is fire af
“Was not an industry plant” is one way to describe keef’s upbringing
Loved that comment lol
His up bringing means how he was raised lol. You mean his come up.
😂😂😂
He’s saying this in context to having mentioned ice spice, which clearly is a plant
@@SrTacoman Ice Spice isn’t an industry plant
Sosa getting his flowers we fucking love to see it
What the reviewers really don't get is that Sosa's CZcams stuff and mixtapes from back in the day are just as influential as his drill albums. You don't have the same proliferation of these spacey digital synth productions with the auto tune vocals if not for Sosa (and of course the bop scene)
I think fantano finally gets what he goes for in his albums. 4nem got a 7 too I believe
@@SinclairSoundyou should make a video on this. I think ppl would like to see that
@@BRAVENmusic
I've thought about it. Relatively recently someone wrote a cool article about Chicago bops role in hyperpop. The issue is really collecting enough material to show a convincing series of events.
Getting a 7 means he's getting his flowers?
if his least fav track was called atheism this would be a 10 smh
I genuinely cannot fathom how Jesus could be your least favorite track
Its not for you ascertain. You like, he doesnt. He has the right to his tastes.
@@francismanancis4186🤓
One horrible take per vid
Fr I would say it's my favorite song and I had never been a lil Gnar fan before that
@@francismanancis4186he has the right to be wrong?
W for Banded Up in best tracks but Jesus in worst is actually insane
BBL TONY BBL TONNNNYYYY
Rumor is Cal has an instrumental diss track he ended up not releasing after he apologized for beefing off with Dorke
Got the best bbl in history
Chief has been around for so long and has been so influential on the genre that i always forget he's just in his late 20s
Its wild how huge his discography is considering his age, it's so huge it makes spotify's frontend lag
Yup. I actually dont think Sosa has even peaked. Every couple years he unlocks some new level of production or flow and lately his lyrics just seem crazily natural and unique too. For the last 5 years I feel like each album is an amalgamation of all the ones before. There arent enough flowers for Sosa.
@@frezzingacesyou could put together a few more albums with all the loose songs out there on youtube. also theres still a bunch of songs getting leaked every month even some songs from 2009
Liked how you gave us an intro on who Keef is like we didn't know.
LOVED this album
If this album was called Almighty watermelons it would have got a 10/10
Runner’s so beautiful man it belongs in a movie trailer for an Al Capone biopic
Fuck yeah 😭🔥🔥🔥
1 2 3 is top 20 keef it’s so good
I didn’t buy one pound I bought ONE TWO THREEEEE!
Treat Myself smacks. You’re wrong.
My 2nd fav track after 123
Yeah, Ive had that refrain in my head for days.
12 minute Chief Keef review is crazy, love to see it
bbl tony gotta be one of the most out of pocket intros he’s ever had
Trap album of the year
Keef not considered Drill anymore?
@@devzeppalin i mean yes, but drill is a trap subgenre 🤷
@@devzeppalin
Drill still falls under trap
This album sounds more trap than drill
i mean y'all listen 3 ppl whole life lmao
sexy redd pulled something crazy out of chief keef and every time they collab he goes harder than he has in years
I can just imagine them in the studio and sexy redd politely yelling at him to do better takes 😂
Don’t be puttin that gyal in the same sentence as the legend that is keef, foh with the industry dicksucking n promoting the dumbest shit ever
No mention of Never Fly Here? Those piano keys had me hyped
Ikr no mention of Drifting Away either
real, only thing he mentioned on the song is the funny verse
he miss a good few songs but its all good. this a pretty good review knowin him 😂
Jesus is literally the best song 😭😭
Fantano needs to find God
1,2,3 is for me, but Jesus is for sure in the top songs
stop
mine is im tryna sleep 😂 that raggedy bass go so fuckin crazy lol i like the whole thang but ts get me every time
hell i forgot bout banded up that shit stuck in my head shit idk what my favorite song on the album is 😂
Anthony Faneto
😂😂😂
I'm on like a 300 day guessing streak on your review scores fantano
You've studied melons for too long he's becoming predictable
How, no way you would have guessed the Kamasi Washington record score
*3hunna
@@VectorCake he put one of the singles in meh so it was doable. last couple of weeks i have disagreed with like pretty much every review ive watched lmao
@@JaMorantBiggerArm he's been this way for awhile now. My streak hasn't been lost yet. Even with the Gunna review. I haven't seen the Billie review yet but he's probably gonna give it a low 7.
fantano, ive been watching your reviews for years, but this is one of my favorites. I LOVE Chief Keef and his outlook on life. He doesnt care what anyone thinks, truly, while most who act nonchalant actually care a great deal. He is a creative genius, designing, producing, everything. I appreciate you seeing how he operates and respecting and reviewing his music with that lens in mind. I wore polo shirts with big logos on them in high school because he did, the most influential artist of my generation.
fr, ngl i got dreads because of keef he was da one who made me wanna grow my shit
I became a criminal just because chief keef
almighty so 1, glotoven, 4nem, thot breaker, two zero one seven, back from the dead and back from the dead 2, bang 2, bang 3 are such incredible projects and there’s so many more gems too.
Back from the dead 2 is incredibly underrated
@@zeenithh in general yes but i it gets plenty respect inside the fanbase
almighty dp 1 clears all of them
@@4nem34 almighty dp is great idk about clearing all of them but i definitely forgot both of them lol
Back from the dead 2 so underrated man
Chief keef growth from a 16 year old kid from OBlock mumbling drugged out getting in trouble to coming an amazing producer and promoting Jesus Christ is very inspiring he’s a underrated rapper in my opinion
Drugs are better than Jesus
I love how chief keef is j staring at Anthony’s bald the entire video
This tape hard as hell man, gonna be in rotation for a lil minute ngl
Drifting away and I’m Tryna sleep are my favorites. I was hoping to hear Fantano comments on those but over W review. Id give it a light 8.
Drifting away is a vibe
i dont think fantano even knows about im tryna sleep he said racks stuffed in the couch is the outro track even tho it isnt
This is either a 7 or a 3 for melon
Now add those numbers together and you get the real score of this album
@@jesuspernia8031Real
Kinda true, when I heard it I thought he'd give it a light to decent 3
The way he put Gnars verse muffled before Gnar went in on the song Jesus was dope as hell I really liked that
Without looking at the description, I knew he liked Grape Trees.
Don’t blame him, that track is a banger
had no idea what you meant by “the math doesnt necessarily math” on runner but i think i can hear it now and it oddly gave me even more appreciation for his recent productions
Really came in solid with what you said about him in the first half of the video, I believe he did a decent job on this album, atleast 5 or 6 songs I can re listen to all the time in my opinion.
Almighty So 2 was such a refreshing body of work imo being a chief Keef fan since 2013, it pay homage to alot of his classic mixtapes💯
Fav Song: Tony Montana Flow, Banded up, Grape Tree’s, Too Trim
That hard R at 5:47 really caught me off guard
Lmao nice
have you thought about doing reviews for incubus? I'm interested in what your thoughts on morning view are because it's one of my favorite albums and they try some cool stuff with songs like aqueous transmission
Believe was 100% my favorite song of the album
Snare rolls had me ascending. Some tracks are truly production masterpieces.
I’ll respect fantano for this one this some of the most mainstream coverage Keef gonna get nowadays
Pitchfork just gave him an 8.4, Rolling Stone gave a good review and he just did interviews with the Grammys and Apple Music he gets a lot of coverage for a independent artist tbh especially since he doesn’t clout chase or follow mainstream trends/music
@@goku8621yeah I feel that, but I do still feel like there’s more he could do
You finally have a good ranking thank god
If I could get sincere for a moment, that introductory section where you provide context for Keef as both an artist and a person is precisely why you're one of the best music reviewers of our time.
Fresh ass video didn’t expect a 7
Appreciate the review 🙏🏿
1, 2, 3 is a nice track, glad he got Melon's props there
Dude you were in your bag with this intro. God damn.
You don't understand Keef's influence at all. He was a drill artist only until like 2012 and while he brought the genre to mainstream he is hardly one of the most prominent or influential drill ariststs of 2010s. His real influence is in shaping soundcloud/trap/mumble/autotune/melodic wave that defined 2010s and artsists like Uzi, Carti, Yachty, Lil Pump.. His magnum opus and what actually is his most infuential work are mixtapes like Bang Part 2 and Almighy So that brought flood of creativity, different unique flows, cadences, deliveries and if you follow most of these new generation artists that's what they credit when talking about Keef's influence.. and that's basically everybody because he is the favorite rapper of literally every single artist under the age of 27..
Bro confused keef with yung lean
he was still talkin that drill shit after 2012 it was just bein sung at that point lmao shit everything else you said was perfectly explained
How many people under the age of 27 do you actually know in real life?
@@jasondecember673 ?? yung lean is not dat wtf is you talkin bout 😂
Keef was extremely influenced by Gucci mane and soulja boy. After all these years of worship I realized he wasn't that original. He stole dozens Gucci flows and the whole home-made aesthetics of soulja boi
Sosa keeps making hits we love to see it
Believe made me cry fr
Best song on the album easily
It's nice that Cal lets his friend tony do reviews on this channel sometimes
As a long time Sosa fan, I‘m proud of the artist he‘s become and I’m looking forward to his next projects!
very negative sounding seven but yay
how is it so negative? lol
@@apeheadboink idk, i've heard him give 7/10s with wayyyy more positivity. obviously each album varies and has difference nuances. saying all that, was expecting a 5/6 from his words ! i love the album
@@apeheadboink a goood comparison is to the recent willow review which was also a 7. its interesting how he goes about the rating. he's always been like this lol i'm still a fan
@@hugobecookin its just because its scale of enjoyment, so like a 7 overall its positive but there's gonna some critiques to warrant 3 points off, but like even though 7 is a *good* score despite popular belief, there's gonna be a fair bit of negative feedback because that's just how it works in general, if doing thorough reviews
@@apeheadboink oh yeah don’t worry I know that ! Been watching since 2016 :) I just felt like commenting that it seemed a lil negative heavy at the front load of the review which of course is 0 issue. Just an observation lol I comment any random thought I have at this point 😭
This album is so fire! Love the beats on this one 🙌🏾
Still waiting for the review on Kings of Leon Can We Please Have Fun.
The Tierra Whack verse on Banded Up was so freaking gooooood
My guilty pleasure is vibing to Sexyy Red’s verse on Grape Trees
After what you said about the album I didn’t expect you to give it a 7
You tweaking treat myself my fav song on there 🤣
thanks for giving Chief Keef a CLASSIC review.
I love you bbl tony, ty you for a good sosa breakdown
He was already made it by bang 2 that’s a 2013 mixtape that drop in the summer
Polar - We Won’t Sleep
We recently had a line up change and a lot of people are used to the old sound and old members. I’m one of the new members and would love to see your opinion on the sonic change ❤️
Tha intro sounds juss like tha beat to Blakk tape by Conway tha machine 🙌🏿
Jesus & 1,2,3 are some of his best tracks across his entire career
Good review but why did you call Sosa a 'Cool Pokemon'?
loved the structure of this video btw!
The most negativly worded light 7 ive ever heard, but I think your opinion on where sosa is artisticially is pretty arcurage.
Idk why he didn't mention don't fly here beside the crazy bars, it is a great track
Runner is my favorite to. Underrated
Bro ur crazy this is the best thing we had in awhile
I was genuinely surprised by how great this album was. He has always put out bangers but this album just felt different
TheNeedledrop knows the history from the father of the new generation
Racks stuffed Inna couch ain't on this album bro just completely got a song wrong
I got happy looking at the description seeing a 7/10 for one of my fav albums this year. I am now extremely angered that your least fav song is one of my fav songs this year
This album was really fucking good. He addressed some shit on some songs and you can tell he grew up. This is one of my favorite albums from him. Runner, treat myself, 123, almighty intro, im tryna sleep and drifting away are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Those are my most favorite songs. Jesus and the song with quavo are good songs also.
Anthony could you please review Party Next Doors new album?
Chief is in different spot, no drama anymore
You should give Goodbye to the Valley Low by Hazlett a listen, its incredibly good ep and he could do with the fame
Are you going to review PND4?
Am i trippin or isnt ”Im tryna sleep” the last song on the album?
7/10 and you still underrated it
tripping.... this album HARD
I wonder what Fantano would rate Back From The Dead 2 since he sort of likes sosa weird/Insane Production
Chief Keef is the most genuine human being I have ever seen.
That's true
Almighty So Classic Review When?
Grape Trees (A song with Sexyy Red) in favorite but Jesus in least favorite is crazy, also this album is at least an 8 but still a good review.
You need to go back and review Sosa’s Ottopsy EP from 2018!!! it’s a collection of 5 perfect songs he did right after Fredo died and 6ix9ine was trying to beef with him over his baby mama
Lmfao why he should review a goddamn 5 songs EP from six years ago?? 😂
He should have called it Almighty So 2.0 because I think some folks miss the statement this record makes towards it's culture and genre. It's not a thing of going back to the original Almighty S, but actually the opposite of saying the dude who made part one is not the same now. This is Keef turning and facing those he influenced, and giving them an entire catalog of ideas they can use for another decade. There are so many rappers who took one thing Keef did on one or two tracks and based their whole sound on that. Meanwhile he moved on, and when Keef moves on, the culture moves with him. I think it took seeing how influential he had been, in order for him to get clean and healthy again.
How can you not mention Never Fly Here or Drifting Away???
HOW IS JESUS THE LEAST FAVORITE? THAT'S LITERALLY THE BEST ONE!!!!!1
If jesus played that song he'd be like "Keef why'd you use my name for this below average song"
I had a heart attack and have been recovering for the past 3 days after reading your least favorite is Jesus, but nice review!
23k first week that's insane for independent and also he produced it all 💯
Not mentioning Drifting away is criminal
Whaaaaat Treat Myself is 🔥🔥
But Racks Stuffed Inna Couch wasn't in the album hold on. I thought it was I'm Tryna Sleep (best song of the album)
How did I already know the score before I even clicked on it???
i need chief keef interview mr fantano
ad at the beginning of the video, if he say anything less than 8 im crashing out
crashing out.
@@Intestinesofficial real. light 9 tbh
time to install adblock
If the album had been called Chieftony Keeftano 2 it would have got a 300 out of 10
