Hey, Drake's The Heart Part 6 was trash, but hear me out. It was such a shit read of Mother I Sober that it got people going back to Mr Morale and realizing it's one of Kendirck's best albums.

I think it's a great comeback album, even if there's a bit too many features, but songs like one night, wanna be known, I forgive you, rock and balloon, go on, at the very least are great examples of her creativity and performance. I've listened to all her albums and like her new one the most, that's something most artists who've been around for almost 30 years won't achieve with a new album. I think most of the people just haven't listened to it, which I'm fine with, she's famous enough from her old stuff already.

I agree that it sucks, but it's honestly irritating how often Fantano brings it up without actually critiquing it on it's (admittedly garbage) merits. It kinda feels like he hasn't actually listened to it, given that all he's had to say in the last three videos referencing it was "the fans didn't like it"

[@jackkaczmarski]

Bold take: I don't know how Taylor Made Freestyle dodged this list/conversation. Besides being an awful song (lyrically and vocally), it made Drake look like a dope for the first time in that beef (before Heart P6) and opened the can of worms which is AI in music. Poorly executed on ALL fronts and the context only damns it further.

[@gaiathemuse]

It's probably because it got taken down so quickly, no one got a chance to process it.

[@TrendsetterMusicOnly]

This is a super good take on what is largely a biased topic

[@michaelbeef5468]

duuude for sure, taylor made is worse than the heart pt6 in my opinion, AI Tupac takes the beef from disrespecting Kenny to disrespecting the entire rap industry.

[@thedudeunderyourbed8474]

I thought it was great. The concept was devilish, the beat was amazing and unlike anything Drake is used to, and it did put Kendrick in a place where he had to respond. Drake putting himself 3rd in the list of goats after 2Pac and Snoop was crazy. I don't agree with his assessment, but it was a crazy psychological move of saying to Kendrick "just because you're from the west coast doesn't mean you're the next in line to be the goat". I thought his interpretation of both rappers was good, not perfect but good, especially Snoop. Pac was not done as well but that's just because Drake doesn't have Pac's delivery studied as well.

[@grimreefer9324]

Big agree. Taylor made was a genuinely unlistenable song to me, along with being just... sad? Don't know how to explain my thoughts but AI pac and snoop just.... yeah... sad...

To me, the worst record of the year is Penith by Lil Dicky. It might actually be the worst record of the decade. I can't finish it without cringing and crawling into a closet in shame.

Rightfully so. Katy really used to put out some bangers in the past and her name recognition and status as an artist (she was one of few female artists who could actually go toe to toe with Taylor Swift, that's how huge and prevalent her music was). In order to be really disappointed in something, you gotta have a certain level of expectation for it to be as good as you'd expect it to be. That's why a lot of people including myself are NOT disappointed by V2.

@@smurfette_blues7922 I thought the cringe lines were on purpose, to contrast the over-the-top seriousness of the album title. I could be wrong, but I don't think she's written lines like those before.

[@SaimNazir-w9h]

@@jellytwins1018 she said that the album was unhinged for a reason...well...matty healy. She also said that it was an album she needed to make.

[@nbcommiedyke]

some of her best shit is on that album, it was just too long.

[@slackershrub8923]

COUNTER ARGUMENT: morning after keeps me up at night and therefore makes Penith the worst album of the year. The run of the last few tracks of that album is the most jarring drop in quality in an already bad record I've ever heard.

[@Tocinos]

I can't believe he didn't include Hawk Tuah Dubstep Remix.

[@jjjjrk12345]

I felt the same exact way about the Mag Bay album and I’m embarrassed to say it bc of how much I love them and Mercurial World. I tried to listen to this album multiple times this year bc I thought I was crazy for not liking it and after seeing it get rave reviews I felt even crazier. Am I the only one besides this guy who thought this album was terrible? I’m a huge fan of theirs so please take it easy.

[@nbcommiedyke]

I don't think it's terrible but as a mercurial world and mini mixes lover, this feels like their most boring album in a while

[@mayitakeyourhatsir8632]

anthony i need a vid on whether or not i should invest in the hawk tuah crypto

[@totaaalella]

he isnt gonna answer 🙄

[@TheHuntsman6]

I don’t get the magdalena bay hype at all. It seems like the kind of stuff I would like but Its just not clicking with me no matter what they put out

[@thorntailband]

same here

[@Ruddline]

They try to make a concept album but give it no memorable characters.

[@Kit438]

The singers voice is a little too high pitched for me...

damn fantano I video editing production has doubled but his content has halved ethereum

[@Kit438]

TTPD is definitely not the worst album of the year, c'mon people!!!

[@natymurillo2802]

TTPD named pitchfork 100 best music of 2024

[@maxxvii2037]

Vultures 2 has the "don't say no diddy around me n**** that's my dog" bar which easily makes it an AOTY contender

[@xamp_exclammark]

You really hate the album so much you had to dig up a lyric that didn't even make it onto the final album lol that's dedication

[@xamp_exclammark]

I think the fact that lyric isn't on the album and Ye is making a solo album now might be a sign of something bcz Ye has been shittalking diddy for decades,way before even the raids happened. I wonder if him and Ty got into arguments over that.

[@consolas2514]

3:53 I sat through and listened to PENITH earlier today to see how bad it was. I think Anthony genuinely needs a reminder how garbage that album is. Vultures 2 is bad, but PENITH is genuinely a challenging listen to get through. It's called PENITH by the way. PENITH

[@LooneyChannel]

How come Fantano only mentions the fact that Kanye fans hate Vultures 2 instead of listing the reason why it’s bad⁉️🤨

[@totaaalella]

it is his channel??????

[@hudson2228]

He admittedly didn't listen to it

[@xamp_exclammark]

Bcz he didnt listen to it lmao this is not even me speculating watch the video he made where he takes opinions from his fans about it on his second channel.

[@SameDoll]

My only complaint about your worst records list this year is that you didn't put Glass Animals on it

[@jisellesharmaignequintao5804]

Glass Animals is fine... Meghan Trainor & Tones And I are already enough to be mentioned as the worst artists of 2024...

[@brandonfoley6826]

Katy Perry never put out "fire pop", she was always terrible. The whole time. Roar is one of the most irritating and grating songs ever created.

[@fortynights1513]

Firework is fire in my opinion.

[@danielflanard8274]

She has more stinkers than not but the good songs are very good. Waking Up In Vegas, Hot N Cold, The One That Got Away, and Teenage Dream are golden as far as I am concerned. There are several other good songs from those first two albums though they are not as untouchable. I agree about Roar, and Darkhorse is even worse. I am sure that there are some hidden gems sprinkled throughout the entirety of her discography but I haven't gotten around to looking. I listened to One Of The Boys a couple years ago and quickly realized that she is not an album artist.

[@jisellesharmaignequintao5804]

Never Really Over, 365, Chained to the Rhythm, Daisies and High On Your Supply are her best pop bangers!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@jech1216]

Nah lil bro they were bangers what's irritating and grating is something like dance monkey but still it's pretty unique

[@isetmfriendsofire]

I love Hot n Cold

[@jase-listener]

Thanks for listening to this stuff so I know I am not missing anything by my ignoring contempory "pop" muzik. I shall leave you with a question: If you ever did a list of worst noise albums of the year would that actually mean they are the best? 💀🎧

Tortured Poets might not have been great from top to bottom but FLORIDA on its own is amazing. Hearing her and Florence collab was a gem.

Where is best albums of the year

[@midnighttrain7844]

V1

[@oh_banana]

It is kind of awesome Fantano argued that Kanye is too big to fail in the eyes of his fans with Vultures 1 and then Vultures 2 somehow proved him wrong. It's easy to understate just how difficult going below that bar was.

[@freakingjames1820]

Don't even like Taylor Swift or Drake, but the more time passes, the more it seems they've become cheap scapegoats at this point, especially for fandoms like Kanye's. To omit and cope with the disaster that vultures 2 was, they would usually be the first ones to point out Taylor's latest release as worse without any real argument. These two are basically easy punching bags you can use everytime you don't actually wanna acknowledge the failures of artists people put in a higher pedestal. That's the opposite of critical thinking, that's resentment.

[@14fluffies]

Ever since I heard Penith I was never the same person ever again...

[@joshualegend7157]

I don’t think Houdini was the worst song but there are better ones on the album, also literally choose any song from vultures 1 or 2 and you’ll get the worst song of the year 💀💀💀

[@mrgarneau4895]

Houdini was the best song on a largely forgettable album, and you have to wonder how much of that is based on the Abracadabra sample combined with the throwbavk to Eminems most popular songs.

[@slomo6054]

there are so many songs on that album better than houdini and it’s most memorable album since maybe Relapse. ditches the generic sounds of Kamikaze and MTBMB and sounds authentically eminem. if you just don’t like his sound thats another story

[@nottknormal]

Fuel, Evil, Tobey, and Temporary are four songs that immediately pop into my head that are all waayyy better songs than Houdini on that album in terms of production, sound, and lrycism. These songs also do not have the repetitve nature that Houdini does, which I feel is a major flaw in that song. Maybe listen to Houdini and then listen to rest of the album (or just those songs) again because this is not true at all lol.

[@ldschultz2070]

The Taylor album was pretty lackluster overall, but it had a couple of good songs sprinkled in here and there, like "Guilty as Sin" for example. The asylum line is an okay line in my opinion, frankly I think it's a bit dense to immediately assume that she's talking about herself with everything she's writing. She's written about fictional scenarios and characters before.

[@SaimNazir-w9h]

imo so long london, but daddy I love him, guilty as sin?, the black dog, loml and imgonnagetuback might be one of her best songs imo

[@filipmarinkovic6281]

​@SaimNazir-w9hfor me I Can Do It With A Broken Heart & So Long, London. 10/10 songs for me.

[@SaimNazir-w9h]

@@filipmarinkovic6281 i dont like i can do it with a broken heart but SO LONG LONDON is THAT song

[@nbcommiedyke]

I think it's dense to not understand she's talking about the industry and the way it controls artists. that feels shockingly obvious to me. I feel like people are being willfully obtuse. you don't get to her level of fame without some trauma.

''you wouldnt last an hour in the asylum where they raised me'' yea, i bet being raised by rich and stable parents was real tough girl, i feel that.
