The fact that his wife doesn't check him at any point despite being a black woman is what makes this even more sad

(He's always been extremely stupid. Speaking clearly and slowly can fool a lot of people into believing you know what you're talking about.)

nah he used to make good points and would put more thoughts in what he would say, now he's really lazy all around and he just comes off as dumb af

He never "used to make good points." He was never even a fan of music until he dropped out of school and copied his friends idea of doing brief ironic album reviews on the radio to make a living

He's excellent at giving the illusion of credibility and fooling both dumb and genuinely smart people into thinking he's "one of them" because of the way he looks, speaks, and the carefully crafted genteel persona being supported by calculated displays behind him.

Fantano is the guy who said Pop Group's first 2 albums are identical in style 3 years ago. Fantano is the guy who said Yeezus was "a Death Grips ripoff" 7 years ago, despite Yeezus having only 1 industrial track, but just like thousands of kids on here and YouTube who don't actually know anything about styles and what makes them, "sounding vaguely similar" is good enough for him to say it like its fact.

People really aren't aware of how far being a good public speaker can get you.

Ban all Fantano threads!

2014 fantano would hate this guy.

This a grown man on Twitter

Read him to DEATH

Kanye “honestly I enjoy 100 gecs unironically” To The

Idk why but I read this in Heidi In Closet's voice

Reminder that this man is 35

How you gonna beef w someone half your age

The fact that he still compares anything even slightly experimental in hip-hop to f***ing Yeezus

This man is 34 years old

The fact that he was sooo sure that Kanye was just copying Death Grips, yet seemed to be totally unaware of industrial rap (or industrial sounds in general) or experimental hip-hop before their existence. Artists like, idk, Saul Williams...the guy who made Niggy Tardust in 2008. The guy Kanye was an avid fan of for years, even forcing his way backstage once at one of Saul's shows to ask him "how does he do what he does."

Nah. Just a ripoff Death Grips because... checks notes loud abrasive sounds and yelling. Yeah, I'm sure that's it. 🙄

Is this Saul Williams album good? Title sounds hard

He only put it on just to trash it because he was annoyed it was being spammed in the chat lol that’s the issue. He was just being spiteful.

Melons and Avocados showing their true colors in 2020

Saul Williams a poet extraordinaire. If you're looking for traditional rhyme schemes and flows you won't really find that. What makes Saul so great though are his lyrics, he's a pure poet, and has rejected the practice of rhyming and flowing and has embraced just speaking truth to power.

He's not for everyone, but if you just wanna hear some real ass s***, you don't need to look any further.

With all that being said, Niggy Tardust is dope though. My advice is go into it expecting a more punk and rock vibe than straight hip-hop.

His self-titled, Amethyst Rockstar, and Niggy Tardust are really great. His album from a few years ago called MartyrLoserKing was decent imo.

The range of styles he goes through on those first 3 is insane. Amethyst Rockstar starts out with songs sounding late-90s/early-2000s stuff like DOOM or Deltron. But then starts evolving into crazy s***. By the time you get to songs like "Coded Language", you have to double check to make sure you're listening to the same album lol
