Fantano articulates himself well even when I disagree, and he was one of the few critics during the whole Donda rollout that just reviewed the album instead of making it a critique of Kanye as a person.

However bro do be needing to brush up on his rap knowledge. He couldn’t tell that Drakes flow on Rich Flex wasn’t an interpolation of one of T.I.’s biggest hits ever lol

I really don't have any shame, I'm online so I just wild out sometimes. I'd like to think it's partially endearing but maybe I just look stupid. At the end of the day, I'm just an avatar on a rap forum.

I made an acc here because there's a strong void in my life that persists because I am an underappreciated employee at a massive company who spent four years of college working toward making myself miserable for the rest of my life.

If I was WFH I'd be playing Mario Golf

edit: I've actually stood up for Pierre against racism levied against him ITT I'm not just dragging dude I really don't know much about him until I saw this thread

He's also not explicitly a rap critic so take his reviews with a relative grain of salt. He's sharp but he's just a general music critic who got his foot in the door bumping metal and punk music

Yeah that's fair I suppose

IDK I just think this idea of regionalism is kind of outdated. Regional sounds have largely eroded in hip hop

KTT average user.

Flirting > Fantano (proven alt right weirdo) : Lmao his reviews are so great, MBDTF > 6 alright I disagree but his jokes made the whole video funny as hell, who cares at the end of the day it's only a grade (he also could suck my d*** but I wasn't supposed to say it)

Harassment > Alphonse Pierre : WHO THE HELL IS THIS NERD THAT DARES NOT SHARING MY OPINION ON AN ALBUM. HE MUST BE WHITE HUH F***ING CAC.

I've literally never accused Alphonse Pierre of being white or being a white supremacist and openly denounced anyone who thought this way as racist ITT.

yeah im sorry y’all niggas who unironically think this need to have y’all head examined

wait how is fantano a proven alt right supporter lmao?

This facts tho, and the fact that a lot of people were citing my eyes as one of the best songs on here kinda shows that a lot of saying "who wants to hear more than vibes from travis" would be going crazy if he had more depth to his music lol

It could end up being a "classic" in the way "Back in Black" is a classic, but not in the way "Dark Side of the Moon" is a classic. Or, a classic in the way that NWTS is a classic, but not MBDTF (or Take Care for that matter)

It's a lot of tiers within the "classic" category tbh. E. 1999 Eternal is a classic but Illmatic smoking that album

So it’s not even surprising that “K-Pop” exists, a diabolically stupid plan to create the most popular song in the world. You have Travis, the Weeknd, and Bad Bunny fusing their croons together over a sauceless Afropop rhythm on a track where the title supposedly isn’t a reference to the Korean pop genre to game extra clicks, but has the same effect. The algorithms will love it, congrats on the hit song. Surprised he didn’t round out the chart-chasing by hitting up Morgan Wallen.
bro was spitting

Factually correct

That wasn’t an alt right channel. That was a meme channel and it had a lot of left wing jokes on it.

This has been debunked already

That Fader article has been denounced as garbage even by many other critical outlets

It was a hit campaign, dude ran a meme channel that was mostly left-wing memes

Fantano is a known leftist too, he’s always been progressive

Those hit pieces were funny af

Completely fabricated

Yea he be doing stupid s*** but also I’m pretty sure he was reaction to the Roy Orbison bar in the Danny clip.

But yea bro be doing s*** like this all the time lmao

Fantano is not alt right lmao Jesus Christ

He's still a corny white music nerd at the end of the day

Yea he’s not explicitly a rap critic but at the same time that T.I. song would’ve been a big hit while Fantano was in like college or something. He’s older than me and I picked up on it immediately

So did I lol

Bro was probably bumping The Microphones and playing Melee when that was in the clubs lol

Just goes to show you that major publications need to be more on point before they do s*** like that lol

Cuz that s*** still following bro after all these years

Okay, listen up.

MARXISM. DOES. NOT. RELY. ON. DEFINITIONS. Engels has already explained why definitions are pretty much useless if your aim is to establish a scientific understanding of reality (I think you’ll find the answer in “Anti-Duhring”).

Marxism is a method to investigate material reality as it emerges. Misusing this word to explain a category which has nothing to do with it is not Marxism. You’re using a preconceived notion to filter reality, that’s idealism.

Engels used the term “labor aristocracy” to describe a specific group within a specific historical context that he was observing.

So yeah, you’re misusing those terms.

They arguing about Marxism in the pitchfork gives utopia a 5.7 thread
