There are not too many albums that have come out in the last decade that you could say haven't aged well. It's not even been 10 years ffs. You need a lot of time to determine whether an album hasn't aged well, once you determine defining characteristics and sounds of a particular era and/or music movement. The hip hop scene is not really that different from the day it was when GKMC came out. This is as reactionary as the people who said GKMC was a classic the day it came out.

"Lil Pump is a rockstar by the way" Anthony Fantano 24th April 2019.

[@realnegajpeg9935]

10:00 not being misogynistic at all but that's just not true from what I've seen. True there are talented ones like Bjork, Joanna Newsom, Lorde and many others but you can't deny all the great music men jave done on terms of narrative. It's kind of a tie tbh

[@cly_]

That's not misogyny. That's the complete opposite. Saying that they're equal, which they ARE, doesn't mean you've done anything wrong

[@derek2678]

Great vid Anthony Now will you please apologize to my sister?

[@JerkySkink]

Your sister had it coming

He never meant to make your sister cry. He apologized a trillion times

With all that went on with hip hop in the 90s I think Mos Def's Black on Both Sides was a perfect closer for 90s hip hop

[@TyDaGreatest.]

mitchell ruderman A man of culture. Many don’t give Mos Def any credit during his billboard times.

[@itsX2024]

Supreme Clientele. That album is the last truly 90s hip hop project. Even tho it came out in early 2000.

Anybody who says good kid maad City hasn’t aged well prolly thinks one of X’s projects is the best of the decade

[@somekid7]

I've met plenty of kids who loved both. It's more like the casual rap fans who never listen to full albums that can't get into Kendrick. I mean I'll admit, even I didn't like the singles off of GKMC back when I first heard them cause they made no sense without context. Nowadays rappers rely on singles way more than full albums, so it's rare to meet kids who can comfortably talk about their fav artists' whole discographies. Then again, it's rare to meet music nerds in general.

I listen to a pretty obscure band called Good Kid and for a second there I thought Anthony was gonna talk about them but I was sorely mistaken.

[@y2kvaporwave]

Okay, hipster

[@Alexander-mw1ek]

The Live show I ever saw was the band Cursive. Many things contributed to the amazingness of the performance (small venue, freezing rain, they played a full album from start to finish), but the thing that made the largest impact was the fact that they brought in a string quartet to play on stage with them. It’s rare that too many cooks spoil the musical stew.

[@drewmorris5908]

I would argue Marilyn Manson was a bona fide rock star after Kurt Cobain

[@0tteru]

On that backup singers/musicians point: One of my favorite live performances ever was seeing The World is a Beautiful Place in Connecticut and they had a bunch of extra musicians and local friends take stage with them and jam together. It was like a conglomeration of great friends having fun and playing music. I could hardly see how that'd ruin a performance.

[@mudkips8399]

The Gallagher brothers of Oasis, Liam specifically, was more of a Rockstar than Cobain. Cobain was an anti-rockstar if anything.

[@ses694]

More of a punk rocker than a rockstar

[@atomicbrain9401]

5:55 - by that logic, if you hear a drum beat programmed in a hip-hop song then your evolved galaxy melon brain thinks “oh wow, nice samples”. Dude, you’re really making no sense here. It’s not like we’re talking about some MIDI quality bass guitar sounds and even then, if something is meant to represent and instrument then that’s what you refer to it as. You can record me farting into a microphone and then play the sample back as the Seinfeld bassline and that’s still a bassline within the context of musical theory. Plus, a bassline is anything that’s on the low register so think cello, Tuba, etc

[@atomicbrain9401]

That being said, the best bassline ever is found at 0:00

[@valx5]

yeah his argument doesn’t make sense. so anything that isn’t played with a IRL Bass can’t be a baseline??? lol

[@HoboStrangler]

10:17 this is part of why I collect records (at least until I can afford a better setup), but a bigger part of it is to support the artist. I love the aesthetic of my collection, and the feeling of owning "nice things", but I also take pleasure in supporting artists I love by buying their records, even if I already own the album in other formats (eg: CD and digital).

[@ezraprzytyk]

GKMC and MBDTF are my fav albums ever.
