Fantano's opinions on music are fine
It's the people who extrapolate his opinion and turn it into matter of fact that are the issue.
He gets paid to overanalyze a culture that he quite frankly has not and never will live.
i think his reviews outside of black art are great i just dont think he has the proper context or background to speak about some of the stuff he does when it comes to us
Main reason why I don't really buy that "I'm Jewish! Not white!" bullshit is because I see how they do Black and Brown Jews. For people who claim not to be white...they sure know how to be racist like em lmao

!!!!
why should he (try to) be more objective
He has a large platform that comes with a little responsibly I think
But again he's just a guy so who cares really
Widely considered by who???? White critics that arent drake fans
If you ask anyone what their favorite drake project is they’re likely to say either IYRTITL, NWTS, or take care
“Just read a magazine that f***ed up my day
How you rate music that thugs with nothin' relate to it?
I help them see they way through it, not you
Can't step in my pants, can't walk in my shoes
Bet everything you worth, you'll lose your tie and your shirt”
-JAY Z in 2001
Black music, Television, and Films are seen are “lesser art” unless they play into tropes of white media or media that’s usually palatable to a white audience
Just look at how many movies are seen as classics in the black community yet are panned by white outlets. It’s gotten better over time but there’s no denying that there’s heavy bias and discrimination at play. Whether or not that applies to CLB and DONDA is one thing, but the trend is obvious.
This thread is not the correct thread for it cause it was OG for CLB anti-hate lol.
OP pretending to have a deep discussion over CLB bait

Yeah and the ppl who say iyrtitl probably arent drake fans
I been saying
A dude like fantano will never like drakes music. Its simply just not for his demographic. If you are socially awkard 100% of the time man you will not vibe to music like this
Stick to the artsy fartsy basement dwelling type music
Lmao i mean i dont like fantano either but he's definitely not socially awkward tho
Just corny

Using judaism to slander Drake is pretty dumb though.
Hes not really a fully practicing Jew. He literally only identifies as jewish cause of his mom
Imagine a professional bowling committee giving out the NBA MVP award
That's kind of like what Fantano does when he dips his toes into Hip-Hop.
He knows nothing about Strip club Houston culture, he knows nothing about the dynamics of what Drake is talking about, he probably has never experienced what a black church is like in regards to Ye,
So it is IMO kind of nasty that he has such a highly valuable opinion in the space. But it's not bothersome because everyone's entitled to their opinion.
I’d say so considering white people stole 90% of it
I like this post here
I ain’t reading all 30 pages but I like this one here a lot!

This
you can bump something for years and never understand it
i didnt understand call it off until i was 21 in a relationship i f***ing hated. listened to that song for YEARS bro YEARS
there is context that when not there will not let u appreciate something the way it should be
theres no way white people hear the same music i hear when i listen to dangelo
if you think they do you are geniunely insane
how tf do white people listen to TPAB. like bro you cant tell me they experience the same as ours
it also depends on how people interpret the experience.
for example, i like a lot of songs and artists whose content is straight street type s***, and while i’ve never delt d**** like that or been in shootout/been shot…
i relate to the single parent / father not there / family broke / against all odds to make it / people doubt you type themes that that type of music puts out
you don’t have to relate directly if you can connect to the artist through the overall theme
Ah okay thank you for confirming you are in fact a Nazi
Go play chicken with a train
everybody gets to be proud but white people, okay i understand
i guess i should just kill myself because of my ancestor's actions
in this whole thread i havent been racist once while @op has been extremely prejudice but im not reporting s***
even though i have not once treated a black person or person of colour differently, wasn't raised that way, wasn't even raised around white people only like other white people are, my neighbours are Persian, Jamaican and Guatemalan

Are you saying black people dont bowl?
idk that's kinda a gray area for me cause white people have hated Jewish people, but overtime they were lopped in with whites over here in America.
either ways this not the thread for it

So if I'm not a footballer I can't speak about football, If I'm not a chief I can't tell my opinion about cooking/food...

I don't use Judaism to slander Drake? I slander him whenever he get to acting like a goofy white man

Everyone can have an opinion.
Everyone can have an opinion on said opinion.
But lived experience is a real thing.
How can you even assess Kanye West without ever spending time in a black church? You can LIKE IT, you can a***yze it, but it's disappointing to hear people championing guys like him and his opinion given a real lack of lived experience.
