Anthony Fantano / TheNeedleDrop - "The Internet's Busiest Music Nerd"™, heelturned since 2017, slowly becoming smug SJW, threw Sam Hyde under the bus

But will he give the new Kendrick album a 7?
I’d be shocked if he gave it an 8. The music establishment media is already giving this 10/10 and 5 star ratings

The fix might be in.
 

He gave it an 8, which was in line with what I thought he'd rate it. IMO, it's miles ahead of DAMN (Not that that's a particularly high bar to clear,) but nowhere near as good as TPAB or GKMC. A project with this much money behind it should sound a hell of a lot better than this, and the lyrics are a lot more surface level and obvious compared to Kendrick's previous work. People used to clown on Kendrick's messiah complex, and it seems like he's adapted it as his literal personality. Dude's gonna go down the Kanye route in 10 years if people keep feeding his ego.

As much of a lolcow as he acts, I do respect that Fantano doesn't kneel to pressure in rating and reviewing albums.
 
Fantano still loves Kendrick


From the title of this alone, it almost sounds pretentious in a way, as if there’s some complex way you have to listen to an album like this.

Nah, meant to post this yesterday but didn’t get around to it. It’s basically a ThatIsThePlan video except it’s really unfunny and super forced. Fantano just doesn’t hit the same without his meme edits.
 

In recent news, Logic has just came out of semI-retirement to release his final album under Def Jam, Vinyl Days. One of the songs mentioned here had Anthony Fantano on here doing a phone call skit to him on the album.

To then celebrate, Logic returned the favor by doing an interview with his clone:

For some reason, the video in question is age-restricted, but knowing Fantano, I’m sure that will probably change at some point.

He tries to keep it hidden but he definitely already has a kid unfortunately. The mods on Reddit are asked to delete discussion of it but one time he flashed his phone lockscreen and it was a picture of a mixed baby (video was quickly edited and reuploaded) and then also Hasan once said that Fantano couldn't join a stream because he had "baby duty." I can only imagine that Anti-Racist Baby is his nightly bedtime story, poor kid.
