Redditoids on the xQc subreddit are sneeding at Anthony for reviewing a Burzum album 13 years ago.

I'm pretty sure this was a purposeful move because he Streisand effected the Kanye album for me because he said it was unreviewable. Nothing about his review implored me not to listen to it if only to hear what is declared to be so bad. Why would I not want to hear that for myself? I have never listened to an entire Kanye album, even when he was on top, but I am curious enough to know what it sounds like now, especially if it's being given negative reviews.

To me, Kanye is in his Tech N9ne era - it was a lot more industrial sounding but still within the realm of Kanye's known style. I find a lot of mentally ill artists start to gravitate towards heavily layered industrial type music eventually - I think it mimics some of the chaos in their mind. The lyrics on the single are not up to par for what I'd expect from Kanye in how he constructs rhymes but looking at it as someone in the midst of an ever degrading mental state, I'm not surprised it's not as good as "old Kanye". I perceived it as a very lazy old school misogynistic type rap that didn't really give anything new. I enjoy T-Pains recent single with Snoop Dogg a lot more even though it's entirely about women on drugs because he sampled a very classic melody in a new way that was catchy and interesting. Something Kanye used to do.

If Fantano had described this as Kanye in his industrial rap phase, I'd probably not have listened to it because I'm not interested in that type of music and I don't listen to Kanye much anyways. I don't even think Kanye would be mad this guy had such a meltdown because Kanye loves when you talk about Kanye, no matter what. He only served to help Kanye, honestly. That's what's really funny to me.

vultures 1 isn't even industrial. most of the album is barely industrial-adjacent. the kanye industrial meme is just some bizarre holdover from people who haven't listened to his music since yeezus, just like all the people who heard two singles off of 808s and accused him of being the autotune man for years

Not sure why that one gets all the hate when Rich Men North of Richmond is so much worse.

Because Try That In A Small Town is by an established singer, it's lyrically very against the type of Antifa style of protestor stereotype, and frankly it's just very stereotypically corny corporate country tripe.

Rich Men North of Richmond, however, has a less politically (obviously the titular men are politicians, it's just not really framed as a liberal vs conservative thing) slanted perspective to it despite its very blatant populist message. It also doesn't really have any "Small town vs Big city" messaging which a lot of people (correctly or not) immediately translate to "White people who probably don't fawn over brown and black people... vs brown and black people." Instead it's a very blatant "the people vs the politicians" thing.

I don't think that either song is particularly good, but the former is far worse in my opinion.

Holy shit that Fader article is one of the most prolific buck breakings I've ever seen.

That Fader article is one instance among countless others unintentionally documenting how the internet got spayed and neutered. There were so many gayops happening around the same time and the goal was to basically just make the internet less fun and lower morale. It was extremely effective and it permanently changed online discourse for the worst. It seems like it's been forgotten about.

Damn, this is pretty good and humbles my own OP. It's been nearly four years now since I wrote it and don't really care too much anymore, but I am happy to be vindicated in seeing people realise how far he's fallen and how buck broken he became from that Fader article.

it's insane to think that shit like gawker hulk hogan, gamergate, fappening, the 2016 election, the rise of internet hitpieces, the death of tumblr all came about at the same time to consolidate most of the internet to twitter and/or reddit and brunt off the rejects to 4chan which killed that site. just a wave of trash that dragged us into an internet dark age.

2017 when the article was written was a really insane year in the culture war. Journalists with Trump derangement syndrome were writing hit pieces like that fader article to take out their anger at Trump winning on anyone even remotely unpolitically correct. It also was the beginning of the mass bannings of right-wing channels on Youtube and when many of the edgy Youtuber began to quit. I think Pewdiepie also got in massive shit for saying nigger that year. It was the death of the old internet. It's like Trump got elected and tech companies collectively decided "Okay no more fun".

Full on mid life crisis, complete with trying to convince his audience of 15 year old boys and woke college girls that he gets laid

Yeah this is the kind of response you would expect from someone who is getting criticized for saying that fans of one of the most influential and successful artists of the last few decades are all incels.

I don't remember if he used that word specifically but he did give a list of the three types of people who like Kanye:
1. Racist men
2. Lonely men who struggle to find meaning in their life
3. Parasocial fanboys

Let's ignore him complaining about racism because he's a left-wing music reviewer so it's just par for the course But a man criticizing other men for being lonely is such a gay and pretentiously cringe thing to do. Who does he think his audience is? Even the mentally deranged transsexual freaks in his audience who lap up his every word are lonely. Does he envision his audience as high school jocks watching his videos to get pumped up before going on the football field?

Another retarded thing he said is that Kanye is saying things that are - God forbid - "not normal." How many artists has Anthony fantano praised for pushing boundaries and being controversial? Some of the most influential artists of all time have been "not normal." That's what keeps art interesting - and it is essential to the progressive values that he espouses.

The last half of the interview is just him reviewing the album. Which is funny considering the first half of the video was his explanation for why he isn't going to review the album.

I could keep going but I forgot the overall point I'm trying to make. Basically he's just a hypocritical dumb faggot retard who doesn't stand for anything and is so insecure and desperate for respect from his fan base of children that he's making r/ihavesex tier posts.

Does Fantano just think black people don't listen to Kanye anymore?
