"How do you prepare to listen to, and critique black music?" Punch asked the bold music reviewer. Upon seeing Fantano's flippant stance on the matter, TDE President Punch then got involved in the public discourse by directly asking Fantano about his album rating process. Check them out below.įollowing Isaiah Rashad's response to Anthony Fantano's review of The House Is Burning, the YouTube reviewer made a statement regarding the matter, despite his opinion that he's "not worth all the controversy." "You guys can lash out, psychoanalyze, or whatever out of disagreement with me," Fantano tweeted. The "RIP Young" artist has already deleted the aforementioned tweets, but fans were able to act quickly and get screenshots of them. he literally chooses to make money by getting views off hate bombing ppl.
To that, he responded, "he's not employed by a magazine. "I'm guessing it's just for views if anything." Another fan pointed out that Fantano's video was just a review and that Isaiah Rashad shouldn't be mad at him for doing his job. "My public persona isn't something to deconstruct so he doesn't have much to review," Zaywop continued. Replying to a fan who was curious to see what Fantano had to say about The House Is Burning, the TDE rapper went on to belittle Fantano's review as well as his journalistic skills on Twitter, saying, "it's not experimental enough to excite him, basic enough to make him laugh, and too black for him to identify." Also he gets criticized a ton, probably way more individually than any individual pitchfork writer has ever gotten.Isaiah Rashad eventually caught wind of Fantano's review, and as expected, he didn't take too kindly to seeing his long-awaited album receive a rating of 5/10. If Pitchfork encouraged it’s reviewers to be as humble and openly subjective as Fantano, they’d get less hate. I 100% disagree with Fantano on some albums but we’re 2 different people that shouldn’t have the same opinion on everything.
All Pitchfork writers are just some person, but when they’re hidden behind the veil of Our Lord and Savior Pitchfork, they aren’t humanized and it’s easier to treat them accordingly. He’s constantly reminding everyone that everything he says is only his opinion and that all opinions are valid, which gives him a lot more credibility as a listener of music and, ironically, more credibility as a music critic. But IMO, even if you transcribed what Fantano says in his reviews and compared it to Pitchfork reviews, he would still be less hate-able. Hard to get any of that from a faceless Pitchfork journalist. I think people don’t give him the same hate because, yeah, his personality is on display which humanizes him and allows him to communicate through non-verbal body language and expression.
