I feel like we’re starting to lose sight of what “aged” really means. I’ve seen with my own eyes people talking about how an album that came out 3 months ago has aged and it’s weird
It's because the people saying shit like that are kids and their perception of time has been fucked by TikTok and CZcams Shorts. Most everyone's attention spans have been cut down over the years, so our discourse surrounding shit like this has arrived to where it is now... People thinking CLB has aged like a fine wine in less than 3 fucking years.
It applies to nostalgia as well, how there used to be a "rule" that in order to have nostalgia for something that thing would need to be at least 10 years old. Now we have people claiming to have nostalgia for like a year ago and i'm like "you still have vivid memories of that time, that can't be nostalgia".
@@okagronyeah but no. Nostalgia is simply yearning for a time that has passed us on. If per say, Covid was amazing for your adolescent self, now you are older and have responsibilities. It’s absolutely possible to have nostalgia for things even just two years ago, or last year. Words are words and there meanings change
So overrated and will somehow make something even worse? Edit: for reference I haven't listened to a single second of Frank's music, not a rap guy sorry, I just love taking shots at Pixar
Nah I can’t lie that’s true I come back to certified lover boy more than Donda I can’t lie I hated on certified lover boy for no reason when it dropped only cause I was a little Kanye Stan 😂😂😂 clb is a really good album with countless great songs
Man let's be real , donda is boring asf , yes I did like the album very much in 2021 , I played it for like a month and done , CLB is more daily listen album , when it came out I couldn't even get through the whole album But eventually it grow on me ,and now on daily basis I listen to at least 2 songs from CLB

The Donda/CLB era was a strange one. It felt like Kanye re-ignited a cult following overnight and the sentiment surrounding him and the beef in general was toxic. I got the sense that there was a full generation of new listeners discovering their love for his legendary catalog for the first time. It was a lot. From my standpoint Donda was a solid project and CLB was mediocre but not terrible. There was hyperbole pushing one up and the other down and now that the teenage Kanye phase is over the general opinion is regressing to where it should be. Donda is still the better album but the emotion isn't amplifying the gap anymore.
This Kanye cycle literally happened for every album post-Graduation. 1. Kanye drops new major EP that’s radically different from the last 2. Fans listen to it obsessively for a week straight 3. They start killing each other over whether Kanye finally dropped a “bad” album or not 4. Kanye does some stupid shit on the internet for attention, drawing mainstream backlash against him 5. All the reactionaries either get bored or actually get around to listening to the album 6. Kanye dominates the charts once again Happens without fail every single time. You can basically chart out each phase as it’s happening.
Hi, Anthony. I got my results from 23andme. It says you're my dad. My mom says she met you at a Blind Melon concert in the 90s. You told her you were from Italy and were on vacation. And you never call her again.
Its funny because you Melon fans are always quick to be like "leave Anthony alone its his opinion" after a Trash Take like Zeppelin HOTH is a C Tier but then mock Mental illness because someone praises a Mediocre Drake Album
It’s not a contradiction. A record could just be sonically or thematically ahead of its time, initially being panned but later being celebrated. It’s happened before many times. To be clear though, CLB does not fit that bill.
be honest when was the last time u listened to CLB. im not even a drake fan but damn that shit was good i relistened to it the other day and i was really impressed. i genuinely think people only hate it for the bad cover and the lesbian bar on girls want girls. if u relisten youll find a lot more value then before trust me
More obscure things are being popular in rap now tbh. Trap isnt really the only prominent sound (albeit the most popular). Experimental stuff, Tuned Vocals, Live Instrumentation, out of pocket mixing techniques, experimentation are prominent in some of the most popular artists of the genre.

While talking about The Beatles and albums of their time it's important to acknowledge 3 things: 1: The idea of a popular music album as a consistent form of art begins fully only in the 60s which means a lot of bands, including Beatles, were just throwing stuff to the wall and see what sticks, its hard to judge them in modern day as its hard to judge 80s rappers that their flow is not as smooth as modern rappers (not saying first rappers had bad flow, just example) 2. At the beginning of 60s most pop and rock and roll albums were just the same song with same chords with similiar lyrics themes sang almost the same way, (with exceptions ofc) so im not suprised some people got tired of that and decided that they want more flexibility on their songs. Albums like Revolver or White Album are actually liked BECAUSE they're melodically inconcistent 3. Beatles themselves were tired of doing the same love songs over and over so they would purposefully create bizarre songs just to see with what kind of sound they can still get away and remain popular
I always think about Imagine living in 1965 and then hearing Revolver when it dropped. For them it must have been crazy, hearing an album that sounded nothing like modern music and would still slap 60 years later
That period of time was probably the last time I've been that excited for competitiveness in hip hop. Drake and kanye coming back properly for the first time in a couple years and dropping at the same time, only for little simz to have the best album of the lot
i think fantano's description here of the expectations and pressure on frank ocean's next release to live up to blonde is almost exactly the same as how people react to damn and mm&tbs post-tpab
I think a lot of the Beatles' later albums are really consistently good. The White Album did have a lot of weird random songs, but I liked most of them. Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road are consistently good.
i mean theres a few good songs on the album ( n 2 deep , fair trade , tsu , race my mind ) which has some replay value but the rest of the album is kinda mid
Dearest Sir Melon Mantano, I am a longtime fan who often shuffles my CZcams “Watch Later” playlist and falls asleep to it. I felt you should know that, earlier this week, one of your videos must have come on shuffle while I was sleeping, which my slumbering subconscious translated to you appearing in my dream. In this aforementioned dream, we were in my childhood bedroom (in a not-weird way I promise), having a Gal Pal Slumber Party. We built a fort of sheets and talked about pop singers and boys we thought were cute. We played video games and ate pizza and got yelled at for being loud by my dad. As a longtime fan, I must regrettably admit I am now struggling to view your videos in the same light. Instead of the Internet’s Busiest Music Nerd, I now see my Slumber Party Gal Pal. You were lots of fun and we giggled a lot. I am not sure what do to with this information, so I figured I might as well curse your comment section with it. Thanks for the giggles bestie! Sincerely, Your Slumber Party Gal Pal (This is not a joke I seriously can’t believe I dreamed this and I feel weird now please send help)
I can’t say I have a single song from Donda or CLB in any of my playlists. It’s funny that people are making the age argument so soon rather than waiting 10 years for a true answer. Tiktok patience
in reference to the question where does rap go after trap, i think the answer is whatever you would call the type of music that yeat is making. If you would consider that to be trap then i think another good guess would be into more house inspired music which is a wave that I think would be really cool and fun to see.
Considering artists like Billie Eilish, Smino & Isiah Rashad are thriving with ‘zoomers’, I feel like Frank Ocean will do just fine with the younger generation when (if) he decides to drop an album
Both albums are just 2 years old damn it why are people talking about aging. I've seen cheese age quicker than these two albums. I've seen divorces still in process before AND after the albums were released. Aging? These albums are still here, man.
“where does rap go after trap?” I really hope it goes in the direction of Jpegmafia and Danny brown, but theres no way that ever really becomes mainstream, it would be sick though
What you were talking about with Frank Ocean is exactly how I felt with Utopia. I waited for so long, and while I enjoy multiple tracks, I think it’s pretty disappointing
@103.5Heaveneryou can’t love 2 different eras/styles of music? If someone with a rock profile said they didn’t like a pop album would you have this same reaction? Probably not. So why can’t someone who like Jazz boom bap rap like something like Utopia? I love both of those albums
I think artists waiting such a long time shouldn’t effect your expectations even thought 99% of the time it will. It sucks, because no matter what it’ll never meet standards.
The thing you have to remember about the Beatles is that they were known as the fabolous four from liverpool. There was John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Star, and together they were known as the beatles.
The weird shit in Beatles albums is precisely part of the cool factor. Besides, I’m not so sure that other contemporary groups were all that much more consistent.
Revolver is a consistently great album from start to finish. Yellow Submarine is a great song, and will probably the one that's remembered the longest as it becomes a children's nursery rhyme/folk song. Rubber Soul has a couple of mediocre tracks but no absolute stinkers. Abbey Road has Maxwell's Silver Hammer, but is otherwise pristine. The White Album and Sgt Pepper are experiences and experiments with some big highs. A Hard Day's Night is a solid early album with nothing terrible on it. The other early albums are somewhat excused as they were churning out 2 albums per year plus hit singles and EPs whilst also having to tour the world.
Should also be noted that The Beatles didn't put a lot of their hit singles on the albums (in the UK), so as not to ripoff the fans. Sgt Pepper would have been a lot better if Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane was on it. Or Rain/Paperback Writer on Revolver. Or We Can Work It Out/Day Tripper on Rubber Soul. Or She Loves You/I Want To Hold Your Hand on one of the early albums.
Thematically and sonically there are not many similarities between Donda and Utopia. If you insist on a comparison, Yeezus obviously has had the most significant influence.@@someguy4046

I think Austin Edited this. Lmao I love this shit. Tell whoever edited this that I love them and keep up the 11/10 work
nah Ryan still edited this one; i just combed thru it & added a note before posting lol -Austen
The thing you have to remember about the Beatles is that they were known as the fabolous four from liverpool. There was John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Star, and together they were known as the beatles.
Let’s argue: this has been the best let’s argue intro so far
The weird shit in Beatles albums is precisely part of the cool factor. Besides, I’m not so sure that other contemporary groups were all that much more consistent.
to the question about “after rap” and like its evolution, where its going, listen to mos defs - “fear not of man”
how long til Anthony reviews a vtuber LP we reckon
Revolver is a consistently great album from start to finish. Yellow Submarine is a great song, and will probably the one that's remembered the longest as it becomes a children's nursery rhyme/folk song. Rubber Soul has a couple of mediocre tracks but no absolute stinkers. Abbey Road has Maxwell's Silver Hammer, but is otherwise pristine. The White Album and Sgt Pepper are experiences and experiments with some big highs. A Hard Day's Night is a solid early album with nothing terrible on it. The other early albums are somewhat excused as they were churning out 2 albums per year plus hit singles and EPs whilst also having to tour the world.
I will defend Maxwell's Silver Hammer until I die
Good Day Sunshine is the worst song ever written and I am a massive Beatles fan
Should also be noted that The Beatles didn't put a lot of their hit singles on the albums (in the UK), so as not to ripoff the fans. Sgt Pepper would have been a lot better if Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane was on it. Or Rain/Paperback Writer on Revolver. Or We Can Work It Out/Day Tripper on Rubber Soul. Or She Loves You/I Want To Hold Your Hand on one of the early albums.
@@Meme_Lor The placement on Abbey Road is what really hurts it - Come Together - Something - then oh this.
@@Spellchec it's better than Something tbh
I like the lil boat reference at the very beginning
0:13 and here we have Anthony’s audition for the Teletubbies baby
Let's argue: the pain will never end
Donda and CLB have both completely left my brain already
I hope this is the new intro for all fantano videos
Anthony clearing the "he refuses to talk about kanye now" allegations
Saying Donda aged badly is a wild take considering how much Utopia is influenced by it
i feel like this is wildly untrue but sure
@@jznsnzxkdbdn There's literally beats that Kanye made during the Donda era on Utopia
My god first it's yeezus then it's Donda
Thematically and sonically there are not many similarities between Donda and Utopia. If you insist on a comparison, Yeezus obviously has had the most significant influence.@@someguy4046
@@1995abvI mean some of the songs were literally Donda songs. Like at least 2-4 are from that era and have been leaked
los pollos ahh take
I instantly thought about Andre 3000 when you started talking about Frank Ocean
The intros are getting better
Donda is an unfinished mess but still miles better than CLB 💀💀
donda is finished but its very bloated
Rap is going one of three direction eventually. More Rock based fusion, more r&b based fusion or more international flavor especially with Latin American artists becoming more popular.
I mean we already saw a peak on rock fusion with all the emo rap artist that made it big.
@@alejandroserrano7755 yeah but I’m talking like on a mainstream level
No, it’s dying
@@mrmxyzptlk8906 that too
Your Shirt in your intro is fire where do I get one 🔥
I did really love that intro
No it didnt
