I have been the most relevant and impactful music critic of my — and any — generation for over 10 years now. You can’t really debate that. There’s no music critic bigger than me who’s had more impact than me for as long as I have, consistently. And if I die tomorrow, nobody’s going to outdo that run.

Anthony Fantano drops his d*** to the floor and swings it in a circle in new Variety interview, following his spat with former artist Halsey.
Upon reading this, I gripped the arms of my chair and dug my nails in deep. I hated him, but he was right. I hated him because he was right.
Sound the f*** off in the replies for me yall.

article link btw since OP is too busy thinking bout Fantano's d*** and s***

Not cool man. I been going through some real s*** and this, this is just the icing on the godamned cake.
Hitler was one of the most impactful and relevant figures of the 20th century, pay attention
Hope this beef doesn’t spill out into the streets man
S*** could get wicked bro..........
Hope this beef doesn’t spill out into the streets man
Fantano gonna give the next G Eazy/MGK albums a strong 10
Halsey is very defensive because if you look at the producer list fantano is the exact type of listener she was trying to gain with that album
Him co-signing it would have done a lot for her career moving forward. Now she has to go back to the drawing board
Everyone involved in this drama is lame and self-absorbed
God I f***ing hate this guy
Who would've thought some random nerd giving his opinions on music would end up having such an impact
fantano only has an audience for his thighs! No one care about what he talking bout. Just s***ted out.
in my early 20s sure i guess but nowadays idk maybe it's cause i don't consume as much new music as i used to but also when i do i'd rather form my opinion and leave it at that???
maybe its also nostalgia/my own experiences rediscovering/relistening to music I used to listen to but I think his 10 years later content is like the only stuff I'll watch from him these days
Behold the ultimate music critic!! What an achievement
Y'all hating on the Melon for this but when Kanye West (creator of 6/10 album MBDTF) acts this cocky, y'all love it
What exactly does he think that impact amounts to? Does he think he is more relevant to the average music listener than Halsey? Does he think the average music listener knows who he is?
There is a very particular type of person who knows Anthony fantano and it usually involves being far more invested in music or being chronically online
Whether he wants to admit it or not, Halsey is far, FAR more relevant than he is in the music space. Nobody gives a s*** about fantano
This is pretty much how every non black person that bumps hip hop and is on the internet thinks. Same for some suburbanites. Yes I’m talking to you niggas on ktt2 if you’re offended
lol what a loser
This is just days after “omg I just got acknowledged by Halsey, W me!”
Cornball
Idc for halsey but who the f*** still watches and cares about fantano
Taste is subjective but this mans opinions are so irrelevant
first page
Fantano insists he’s “not a professional edgelord” but a leftist who supports Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani, and “was calling Israel’s attacks on Palestinians a ‘genocide’ before even Bernie was.”
his only L out of the entire response

the only reason shes been in the headlines in the last however many years is because of either fantano beef or her pitchfork tweet so it doesnt really matter who gives a s*** about who
