Fantano Ain’t Never Scared! w/

[@RapLatte]

Glad yall enjoyed this. This is a convo that will definitely happen again. We had some issues but still pulled off the episode. Rap Latte is a month old and thank y’all for liking and subscribing.

[@RT22444]

Another reason why I love Dot so much. So many "artists" don't make art, they make a commodity. They aren't making expressions of their experience because they aren't having deep, relatable experiences. This is why when artists get to the top, their writing suffers and they fall off quickly after making it. Kendrick isn't forcing work out every 12 months. When he finally puts something out, its CRAFTED. Its ART. Its coming from his current experience.

[@alexisaguirrevideos]

Yeah most people in the industry aren’t artists. They’re entertainers. Facts! It takes more balls to make real art than just some commoditized product.

[@yugfus]

Yes, this is why he's able to reinvent his sound so seamlessly.

[@LA-ue2ph]

he's also a great writer and conceptualist who thinks about the way his message is packaged; he packs so much depth into his music so it lasts long enough to the point where he can afford to take years off to live life and manifest / create the next thing organically and his fans importantly don't feel like they're being neglected when he disappears

[@rosharma7443]

Music lovers will definitely enjoy this conversation. Its a good day to be alive

[@robthegod1]

Ghostface is hyper masculine yet often hyper vulnerable. As wild as his vocabulary is he is very relatable

[@JStack]

All that at I got is you is incredibly vulnerable by any work of art standard. Let alone from hip-hop from a dude as ruthless and aggressive and ghost face. Shows the range of a person

[@ununseptium7961]

He has schizophrenia, which makes his career even more impressive.

[@Chicago311zero]

The man the myth the melon 🍉 Kdot has to be one or two at this point imo too many classic albums and songs.

[@marieantoinette8250]

Why this comment two days old

[@Chicago311zero]

@ I commented before the video was uploaded it was just the premiere with clip art haha

[@mik-d5e]

bro somehow predicted the topic

[@TuchNGoh]

Kendrick’s ‘24 run united many of the best hiphop/music journalists and platforms. Crazy to see the collaborations that’ve been happening.

[@aje-olokunsChile]

YES, it’s one of my favorite parts about the beef

[@oblivionworldwide]

If y'all got Fantano on here, y'all gotta get Dead End Hip Hop on here too!

[@ranbailey8693]

Can we talk about Mr. Fantano's absolutely magnificent fit!?

[@shockwavebboy]

Arizona tea can😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm sorry, I had to😅

[@NuttyDeez69]

He's carrying that "wes anderson main character" fit

[@kingdarius513]

I thought that too as soon as I show the drip

[@Grogeous_Maximus]

Thank you for bringing up artists unionizing, guys

[@FerdinandZebua]

Workers of the World Unite! ✊

[@medbeth9857]

Digging Melon's outfit and colour palette extra hard today.

[@haeikou]

The watermelon palette

[@MsYooToob]

I love Fantano’s cardigan 😂

[@withneilw9146]

I wanna take a pic with Cardi B inside that cardigan

[@TheGreatestJediOfAllTime]

This channel is fire. How is there not more subs

[@RapLatte]

Just got to KZbin m 3-4 weeks ago thanks for subbing

[@rosharma7443]

Only a matter of time

[@Achayo__]

I like your number one contenders!!

[@samilieux]

the art of album creation and sequencing is almost non-existent these days. I do appreciate the artists that still keep alive the art of experiencing a full album. I'd rather put on an album I can listen to from beginning to end with minimal skips (if any) than pick out a few bangers I like and play those.

[@veila0924]

First unc FD and now the Melon, good lineup, it even got me checking out other videos without guests

[@Pivot-Shorts]

Getting into the holiday spirit with the absolute wildest fit I've seen

[@jahmeldickson]

Finally a podcast for the rap nerds. Lets go!!

[@rosharma7443]

Amen 🙏🏽

[@christiancase872]

You gotta be kidding, this is the golden age of hip hop nerd commentary

[@CH-hp6ow]

Damn I've never paid much attention to Fantano but I've also never heard someone mention GFK as a #1 contender, let alone the first mentioned. My personal all time favorite. He just gained a subscriber with that one.

[@freshskittles92]

MELON this was a great show. glad the algorithm brought me yall's channel. subscribed

[@chinbeats6551]

Toure looks taken aback by Fantano's knowledge of the culture.

[@MrMattCow]

the ghostface album with badbadnotgood is SO good. definitely worth checking out if y’all haven’t :)

[@balletabela]

As a new listener to hip hop, I tend to turn to informed reviewers and reactors who are educated and experienced in the industry. I'm also old school. It's sad that sycophants bully so much of the narrative. Fortunately, I can filter through the streamers just by their level of maturity and I appreciate that standard of content from the start.

[@astr0sauce]

bruh FUCK a reviewer listen to whatever you want

[@Charmane73]

Touré is truly impressed.

[@NOK42]

Do I even have to say it... another banger episode 🔥Love this show. @fantano was in his element too 🍉

[@Rryiac]

This became my favorite podcast so fast 👀

[@NopemoreNope]

Yes off the wall is for sure the best!!!

[@Nanersbananers]

Solid interview. Thanks guys.

[@satyarthsingh2276]

Anthony dripping hard

[@travismathis3279]

Finally hopefully we'll get the real cookie recipe this time

[@AidenKnows-]

u guys are awesome great vid!!!

[@Deathwrap._.]

he sold me fent

[@Sandweiche]

They don't call him fenteno for nothing

[@MASTERPIECEFROMGOD]

@@Sandweichengl that’s fire ! 😂😂😂😂

[@SuperMiIk]

Me too

[@retromike1]

Hell yeah!!!!

[@peapotfairy]

1:40 kendrick is like 2pac (rap) meets pink floyd (conceptual artistry) meets james baldwin (literary genius).

[@kristinalfc5846]

It bewilders me that Drake has such a loyal fanbase, he has been putting out such frivolous, substance-less music for so long, I can't understand how anyone would form such a strong connection to him as an artist...like of all people, THIS is your guy? why

[@SladeW5218]

They're really Pop fans fam

[@ks_wallace2324]

Well, ppl like substance-less music, and that should be okay. I like future, he's always been in my big 3 by replacing drake (dot, Cole, future). However, he probably has less substance than drake. Some ppl have real life problems and don't care to hear it in music. Music is an escape from reality. Different strokes for different folks. Drake has made some dope projects at the beginning of his career, not so much in the last several years tho.

[@kristinalfc5846]

@ks_wallace2324 maybe you should re-read my comment, I'm not questioning why someone would like his music, rather the ride or die attitude of a lot of his fans for someone who I can't fathom forming a strong emotional bond to their art (unlike Kanye or even Taylor Swift for example)

[@GritsnBeans]

1988 Living Color Cult of Personality. That song lays out the "why" for most bs in society.

[@LA-ue2ph]

he's an aspirational goal for shallow people, the same ones who like to buy designer clothes for the logo (rather than quality) in an effort to gain respect from peers

[@TYBO-xl1xz]

KRS One and Roc Marciano , my top 2

[@morniclegreen3534]

So glad to have discovered you guys! Subbed and gonna stay tuned

[@EnzThaGreat]

We eating today yall🎉

[@jamesmarieellison]

YES, Off the Wall is sbove Thriller. It is the beginning of the beginning of Michael Jackson. Just like Prince’s first 5 album is the beginning of what he becomes.

[@Lebowski55]

Black Thought is #1 for me

[@benny9680]

Y’all gotta have him on for longer next time, this was a great convo

[@YetiCoolBrother]

Next guest gotta be the homie Justin Hunt, The Company Man #ItsAllHappening

[@cyanidejellyfish]

Off The Wall Lovers were u at !

[@TuchNGoh]

Stop looking at me like that 👀

[@splqp4996]

I love how Touré is so nice to fantano, but basically bullied Chris Black on his own shown lol

[@WillieEarlSon]

We need DEHH on here asap

[@spcfl1461]

They’re cooked since Myke C Town left

[@TakverReturns]

We do! And they are still having great convos even without Myke.

[@Rayzajw]

I actually agree with the off the wall statement lmao

[@robthegod1]

Ghostface and E40 are in my top 3

[@ariedmck]

I really enjoy your one-on-one conversations, but this is another great guest. I know the show is new and you may still be working out formats. I’d suggest monthly guests. But only if they’re as good as FD and Fantano. Not just fillers for the sake of having someone on.

[@baukelotringen3124]

Loved this

[@SushantNarvekar-v2h]

Pink Floyd comparison was spot on

[@DkZeria]

VERY IMPORTANT TIMESTAMP: 22:45 💯💯💯💯

[@blackflagsnroses6013]

Y’all need to have FD Signifier’s partner in crime Lil Bill on!

[@AyyyGabagool]

nice interview

[@DecaturQue]

I had to look up Fantano’s age when he said Ghostface. He’s younger than I thought, his older brother must have listened to Ghost when he was a kid.

[@mocapcow2933]

i mean he's always been in love with music. so he could've just found it himself digging for music

[@astr0sauce]

who says you have to listen to stuff that’s current? when i started listening to hip hop in 2016 i was listening to 90s and 00s stuff

[@bigbizgrizzz777]

Oh naaaaah this needs to be a bi-weekly thing. I'm such a fan of fantano, but when I hear him engage with other creators about music especially hip-hop I get down right giddy.

[@rmeddy]

23:55 The Bridge is over, the bridge is over Great interview, there are a lot of great opinionated voices out there like According2adri

[@mrlevinielsen]

Beautiful cardigan

[@patrickvarine8476]

I like Ghostface in the No. 1 conversation. My top guy has always been Redman.

[@k3fernan]

Kendrick has the best discography of any contemporary hip hop artist. It’s not even close.

[@k3fernan]

This was Kanye but since 2018 it’s mostly been misses.

[@mocapcow2933]

if you don't count that EP with East, Earl Sweatshirt one of the best lyricists of anyone rn too. Doris, I Don't Like Shit I Don't Go Outside, Some Rap Songs, Sick, Voir Dire, they all have some of the best lyricism of most rappers.

[@thistodo]

fit 🔥

[@gytrplr]

The Chanel is so much fun

[@danieloppong4068]

Be specific, Fantano We want the exact top 10

[@EpicVideoMaster11]

Give us yours

[@marxnangels]

i saw a comment comparing kanye and drake damaging their own careers that said that at least with kanye you could attribute it to mental illness 😭

[@cohecency7288]

6:05 a C change, or a B# change? 🙃

[@Themayseffect]

You think you trying to B sharp 🤔

[@NotExplicable]

​@@Themayseffectwhatever it is though don't mess with A minor.

[@ess-pee-arr]

The disrespect for Blue Lips is real. I do mess with both Chromakopia and GNX though. But man ...

[@tone901]

Schoolboy is boring.

I love Ghostface

[@bozosworld5806]

I understand what Toure was saying about people spending there money back in the day to buy a cd. To this day I will never listen to or watch anything Snoop Dog after I bought the DogFather album it was straight garbage I was so mad I wasted my money on it. The only thing I remember from that album is him saying beats don't make him yes the hell they do damn. I have a disdain for him now. You bringing it up triggered my trauma lol

[@christiancase872]

Is that why fantano isn’t an Aesop rock guy? Cus his songs aren’t always sonically pleasing? I get it I guess. Don’t agree but I see the argument being valid

[@DidiDometilie]

Help me: Is there a difference between rap and poetry?

[@GuiiSanttoss]

Rap stands for Rhythm And Poetry from what I know!

[@Toadwizard865]

Fantano fit is incredible.

[@DecaturQue]

Do the comments think that when someone says MC, it’s different from “rap artist” or “rapper”

[@peapotfairy]

18:52 also, i dont want to mess up my algorithm with a bunch of lame stuff

[@thinkoutloud2144]

2:30

[@AllTheArtsy]

thinking GNX doesnt have the full arc that an album has is the dumbest thing

[@streetteams]

"..."The Wall" level."

[@uncvic1]

Over the yrs, ive come to see Off The Wall>>>>>Thriller

[@blaquehealer5484]

There is too much "music" being produced, and I refuse to participate because someone said that 3 weeks means that you made a "breakthrough" on the "charts!" Thank God for Kendrick, the tortoise. 6 min Euphoria was much more pleasurable than the 6 min of Family Matters.

[@gloshines9148]

This man looks like a white King Green lol

[@RapLatte]

😂😂😂

[@Usertwyahsjajahajajsjsvgsy]

COMMENT ON THIS MELON!! 😡

[@frederickthorne2496]

OTW is better than Thriller absolutely

[@jarvon8or]

I have Kendrick at 1 all time but 03-04 50 cent has the best year ever. Maybe lil Wayne 08-09

[@funkyfreshkid08]

Vultures 2 is much better than V1. I listen to V2 on the treadmill and it powers me thru.

[@blaquehealer5484]

Attention all: No matter that he is now denying it, he has been diagnosed with a SMI (severe mental illness); 80% of his "controversial" statements when he was CLEARLY having a manic episode and the media was profiting from his mental illness. Not for nothing, this disorder has a significant COGNITIVE decline over time that is reflected his artistry. Unfortunately, i think he is done unless he makes different choices regarding his health. You see glimmers of his gift in like that remix because his production on the track was awesome, but THOSE lyrics were meh 😐

[@tp8271]

Except when the Fader does a hit piece

[@morbidtoaster8615]

I’d say fantano gets pretty scared if you call one of his KZbin channels racist

[@EenMagnetron]

Liiittle off-topic, but just curious: next time consider asking him about why he seems to be so selectively outraged at Kanye's Columbine bars, so much so that he had multiple spiels about just that, meanwhile for the past 10 or 15 years when other artists like Brockhampton did the exact same thing it was all cricket sounds and not even worth a single mention. I think that'd be worth exploring :)

[@Justabigbeaver]

Bro ghostface isnt even the best rapper in wu. REBEL INS

[@DoflamingoSnailPhone]

I enjoy Fantano's content to an extent and did enjoy this video. But man. He really talked over you guys and didn't allow you to get a word in at multiple points throughout this interview. Felt very controlling and disrespectful at times.

[@GuiiSanttoss]

It probably should be noted that he was the guest, so it's comprehensible he'd speak more. Not only that, in multiple times you can hear Fantano's voice through one of the guys' mics, so they might be having some technical difficulties as in having to turn on the mic everytime. If you ever had zoom classes, you probably know how tiring that gets. I do like Fantano's vibe more than his music knowledge, necessarily, so I get that I'd be biased.

[@GuiiSanttoss]

I'm still going through it, so I apologize for the double post, but if you go to 27:40 ish, you can see how long Fantano takes to react to the Ye comment. I honestly think that's just delay???

[@RapLatte]

We had technical issues which kinda forced almost an interview like convo… sorry but we’ll do this convo again. Appreciate yall.

[@DoflamingoSnailPhone]

@@RapLatte That's understandable. It did seem like there were a bit of technical issues. I'm sorry if I misinterpreted it as something more. I really appreciate y'all and everything you do. Your channel and videos have been a great addition to my life. Keep up the great work and happy holidays!

[@jamesburke2311]

Aoty? I thought Brat was a 10?

[@user-pz4vb9cu8u]

MF Doom? Who is that, a rapper?

[@ks_wallace2324]

Yes, he is one of if not the most popular underground rapper. He's known for wearing the metal mask.

[@CrankyKong317]

Let’s do a intro next time not everyone knows Anthony

[@NStarX9]

You don’t get that far as drake did by the industry being against you 😂 people be delusional he’s a industry man not anti industry he’s just upset he lost a beef

[@Tormund_Giantsbrain]

These gatekeepers don't know hip hop besides the boom bap corny shit. Toure just unbearable. Fake shit.

[@CoolCoolYams]

Okay

Man ima be negative but I kind of think this fantano guy sucks.

[@kingsleyacquainted9753]

Ghostface is my favorite, then MF Doom.
