@op u got the intellectual stamina of a guinea pig so this thread smells like s***

No

It’s not

Views was a huge moment in pop culture

Mexicans and Indians already defending white people itt

you could never be me lmfao you cant even see past your privilege

Very true. I remember he did a Barter 6 review and he f***ed with its creativity though. He has an ability to criticise an album while not disrespecting the artist i feel

Couldn’t you, ironically enough, apply a lot of the same arguments defending Drake and his quality as an artist to Fantano himself then?

This. Be mad at the institution not the individual.

There’s nothing in that song that could be broken down better than him if there was someone Black reviewing it

I think the biggest lick ever has been the industry creating a market for musical a***ysis, tastemakers, etc.

Music is not sport and for many, it's really not that deep. I can say I don't like Lebron, but 28/7/7 for a 60 win team is irrefutable. I can say I think Drake sucks, but that's all opinion

We've allowed opinions and music criticisms to be a thing way too long

The entire world was playing way too sexy Labor Day weekend, but I'm supposed to value Fantano saying the record is embarrassing?

Music at it's core is made for the people, for the people to consume. Do they like it or not is all that matters

Yo what the f***
Shawn Cee we have work to do!

You sounding real ignorant rn

the dialectic between nonblack consumers and black artists in hip-hop is literally the driving force of this forum and arguably the entire genre

Did Kanye b****ass nit say “pitchfork don’t review black music”? And y’all praised him? F*** is wrong with u niggas?

Isn’t that what this entire section does lmao

there’s some artists this applies too, yeah, but drake? he’s literally the most accessible artist out right now

the last thing i would want in my life is to be like someone who spends their day generalizing and attacking entire groups of people who MAY deserve it but not from a f***ing dirty little chode like you @op

except fantano likes plenty of rap music though

it would be weird if he just hated everything made by a black person but he doesn't.

Also let me present this example. Is Mac Miller fake rap because he's white? Fantano gave swimming a bad review. Is this because he's white? Because Mac is white too so I don't see how that would make any sense...

Or maybe, just maybe, he's expressing his personal taste and it has nothing to do with race or class

y'all niggas crazy

fantano probably stutters speaking to women how could he like the song or even find it enjoyable

Drake has a gigantic fanbase

if his entire fanbase is calling views a classic, then it probably has a strong case to be a classic.

Nope
These are facts

I think both Drake and Kanye would heavily disagree with the fact that their music isn't for white people too. Lmfao. Drake wants to be the biggest artist in the world. Last time I checked everyone's included in that.

oh lord

y'all love disck sucking a white man
