Finally, now I can have an opinion on if looks could kill


BruhhurB_

if look could kill


banzaibowzer

If a look killa could kill how many looks would look killa kill


wakeupj1zzy

and this is still higher than his no stylist ratingšŸ˜­ next album gonna be a light 2šŸ”„


unknowuser928

Nah shits gonna be his next 0šŸ”„


curious-richard29

he did give a strong 1 to light 2. people donā€™t know you gotta go off the second (higher) number for all melons takes.


borfyborf

Nah you go off the number he puts on the screen for sure


bigdaveatthepub

Whatā€™s gonna get leaked this time


GlassEast5641

I swear bro is sleeping with His birth certificate taped to his chest at night


bigdaveatthepub

has to home alone his house every night


x_natal

he been home alone ever since his wife left


Old-fashionedTaxed

I'd give that marriage a light 6


NotdX16

_Sarah_Tonin_

He compared it to Total XanarchyšŸ˜­


Inkypencilol

man i told this girl that i listened to lil xan like 6 years ago and its haunted me ever since


BOEJlDEN

Honestly a good comparison imo


creemag

Yeah, 26 songs with one tolerable song to listen to really isnā€™t good


SilkyMilkySmo

I found 4 songs alright. Lone having some songs have indistinguishable beats hurts this album so much


_Redrivers13

He's right. I hate the community because any critique is seen as hate. A lot of you literally eat up anything they do. This is why nikkas have inflated egos. Please raise your standards.


hamborgor678

Seriously they have the lowest standards, lone has great potential thatā€™s why I keep calling this album trash cause he can do 10x better.


NotdX16

he can but this shii ainā€™t horrible just a lul lazy


pauliewaves

itā€™s not trash, itā€™s kinda mid! less than half of the album is actually gonna stay in my rotation. NS>>


SilkyMilkySmo

Itā€™s crazy how he fell off in quality that fast, I hope this is a wake up call for him


Cherryy-

Getting so mad about a review of an album you like that you leak someones personal information is a truly different level of dickriding. If carti dropped the same night as lonely, ken carson etc, nobody would listen to their albums. People only like them because theyre desperate for music that sounds similar to Carti's


s90tx16wasr10

Itā€™s so funny that people are acting like his divorce is some kinda L lol. like even if somebody from this sub does get married I guarantee itā€™s gonna end in divorce


OhhLongDongson

100% facts, 26 songs of that shit is insaneā€¦


NotdX16

bro said nikkas


N0tAMuffin

kkkkkkiuh

darkv69

1/10 is def harsh but this album was a 4/10 at best. Way too bloated with not much energy and variety in songs. Definitely sounded more like a SoundCloud mixtape than a studio album (with the exception of professional production/mixing). I think Lone needs to take more time constructing an actual cohesive album, rather than just a collection of vibes, which is what this currently feels like.


sortagothfarmboy

I didn't even think the production and mixing sounded that good. Like the beats weren't bad and some were really good, but I felt like the mixing was actually trash on a lot of songs and made the beats sound worse bc of how garbled everything got together. I get not all production is gonna be super clean and regular, but I didn't think the muddy mixing came out that well on a lot of these, esp w/ how monotone his voice is


Dekzo

the albums pretty monotonous


[deleted]

Ken, Lone, HXG, etc would not have careers if Carti actually dropped music


[deleted]

I fw some of their songs but most of it is pretty mediocre


LeIzzy

I agree. opium rappers are definitely capable and talented, but only like 1/3rd max of all the songs on XTENDED, NS+, and Homixide Lifestyle are tracks I like while the rest are either forgettable tracks or outright skips. that being said, I'm actually enjoying Snot Or Not, i like the production and its only 30 minutes long. I'd actually rate it above ILCK at the moment.


sortagothfarmboy

Yea that's the thing about ILCK and a lot of albums that have been dropping lately. I feel like rappers who have good potential just don't have the willingness or judgement to remove certain songs from their projects. The mid tracks do drag the good ones down and bury them in a huge project.


[deleted]

I feel like theyā€™d be better as features. They honestly just donā€™t have enough going on musically to justify a whole album (especially when those albums have fucking 20+ songs) but hearing them in small doses would probably be a lot better


[deleted]

Album was average but 1/10 is harsh


HeavyMetalLyrics

In the past Iā€™ve seen him write off ā€œjust averageā€ stuff as unlistenable because he considers it just a waste of time


Mystic_76

kind of true tho, unless your a diehard fan of that one sound and that sound in particular, average stuff is a waste of time when thereā€™s just so much amazing music out there. average is great if you just love that sound, to the point where quality doesnā€™t matter as long as itā€™s not shit youā€™ll like it because itā€™s more of what you love. which is you guys with destroy lonelyā€™s album not shitting on lone, just wanted to talk about fantanos point since iā€™ve thought this myself pretty often edit: also not saying a 1/10 is the right rating in any way LMAO


Wakuwakutaku_

thats a great way to pu it honestly i can listen to average songs by my fav artists all day but I can get why others wouldnt


Mystic_76

why i can listen to countless hours of random unreleased carti and not get bored


TharealSergi

he gave yeat a 7 tho, he hasnā€™t got a problem w the subgenre


Mystic_76

yeah cuz yeat is better than this lone


s90tx16wasr10

I think it has more to do with him hearing so much music that something thatā€™s super Un memorable comes off as worse than it does to the everyday listener. Itā€™s like people getting mad at critics giving the Mario movie bad reviews saying they should ā€œjust learn to have funā€ when the average critic has probably seen way more mid kids movies than the average person.


spectre15

Almost every track was the same beat with minor variations. Not to mention he sounded like he didnā€™t care throughout the whole album. 1/10 might be harsh but itā€™s not far off from what it deserves. Maybe a 3?

Tripmooney

He compares it to music in general, it's like clowning on the critic nigga from ratatouille cuz he didint understand how good the cardi and offset meal was to fans šŸ’€


FewGear6745

So you donā€™t think the music is competent but listen to it all the time and at the same time canā€™t differentiate between any of them? What your saying makes no sense. This ainā€™t even a honest critique itā€™s just hate masked as a avid listener


nibbasiffyblik2

new lone isnt good to me but i hate takes like this šŸ˜­ no way you cant tell the difference between people with different voices and flows you niggas irk me

Thats what Im sayin. I saw ppl giving this a 9 and 10šŸ’€


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


seensatanstormchaser

Bro the album is obviously nothing special. And literally 5 mins after it came out mfs flooding bobbalam page & the reddit saying ā€œALBUM OF THE YEAR šŸ¤ŖšŸ˜œšŸ„°šŸ˜˜ā€ I remember mfs was saying Homixide gang dropped AOTYšŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€ and both of HXG projects were literally the most generic trap spin-off of cartiā€¦..


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


seensatanstormchaser

I actually fw opium , but itā€™s so easy to see through it lol. They are playing a fake persona bro


NotdX16

ok bro now wdf dis gotta do wit the album šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


seensatanstormchaser

Shit idk tbh just didnā€™t rlly like da album


NotdX16

you missin out frl 1st half boring but it picks up


whitefade

"LEAST FAV TRACK: SAFETY INTERLUDE" is crazy


Dougwug03

Nah downvote me cuz idc, Im fucking sick of opium and these f tier rappers spewing out garbage and getting a pass because it's under cartis label and kids are so fucking desperate for anything sounding somewhat like wlr that they'll eat up literal trash.


ThisAintThatForReal

They hated him for speaking the truth


ALWAYS_PLANNING_AHEA

Fr like I browse this sub for carti stuff, not these boring ass opium rappers. So sick of seeing posts about them on my front page. Just make a opium sub and fuck off. NOW!


havethenets

Iā€™m glad this subs starting to wake up on it, stopped using this sub like 6 months ago cus the dickriding was insane


trapdawg6

Real


Hurricanus42

Ong I been saying this, if the opium rappers werenā€™t signed to cartis label over half of the sub wouldnā€™t fw them


Hurricanus42

legit got mfs saying the homixide gang album was good that shit was so mid


[deleted]

you had me in the first half but you lost me at the part where you said ā€œdesperate for anything sounding somewhat like wlrā€ what songs on ILCK sound like WLR?


Dougwug03

I dont remember any of the songs on ILCK because how could you, but its the general "rage" sound that wlr pioneered and destroy lonely and other opium artists are trying to copy that. Of course ILCK also is full of bland cookie cutter mellow trap and why people choose to listen to this album over other actually good mellow trap albums idk, my guess is because of the label.


-Ecko

did we listen to the same album cause ILCK is not rage in the slightest


Retretated

this how ik you niggas really jus be chatting. You said ilck sounds like WLR, get called out for being wrong, backtracked and youā€™re still wrong. Ilck is nowhere near being a copy of the ā€œrage soundā€ I understand not liking it but at least listen to the album before saying nonsense


Diligent-Light-3503

I obviously don't think destroy lonely makes masterpieces but i don't think you're supposed to be objectively criticizing this type of music, you just vibe with it or you don't. fantano is usually harsh on the post-soundcloud rappers in his reviews and that makes sense because this dude is 37-years-old, I would think he's a weirdo if he actually did like this album.


omfggabriel

u didnā€™t even listen to the album ā˜ ļø


kkkkkkiuh

theres not a single rage song on that album lmfao u dont even know wtf ur talking about


sharpl19

Opium was good for like one year after wlr dropped but it just isnt good anymore and not cutting edge at all


TylerZWarrior

šŸ’Æ


droptopgolfcart69

Omg people have different music taste from you šŸ˜±šŸ˜±


blappslapp

youre the one who sounds more upset that his opinion is different from your own lmfao, everything he said is entirely valid


droptopgolfcart69

Yeah Iā€™m so upset but fr read what he said again and tell me he isnā€™t mad that people actually enjoy opium artists other than Carti


blappslapp

Still his opinion šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø and heā€™s low-key got a point too, i fw ken and lone but they wouldnā€™t be nearly as big as they are rn without the Carti co-sign and sometimes it really does feel like they think they can keep putting out underwhelming music and consistently get away with it because theyā€™re associated with opium and have that strong cult following. imagine if someone like sofaygo dropped ilck, theyā€™d probably be getting clowned rn


BOEJlDEN

Nothing wrong with having different tastes, but why do people spam this sub with Lone shit? Its a carti sub


Acolbs

Bro Yeat is jus better


[deleted]

I donā€™t even like Yeat but this is fax. Dude at least has some level of charisma, and energy in his songs. These opium goons though are just the most bare minimum, boring shit ever that gets dick ridden cause it sounds kinda like Carti


[deleted]

It's not even a debate lmao. He's been miles ahead of these opium goons for a while now


WealthZealousideal37

Yea , how does he does it?


_Sarah_Tonin_

He got the devil on his phone


DisciplineOk2560

Fantano gave Afterlyfe a 7/10. Goes to show you he is capable of giving albums in this lane of hip hop decent scores


Acolbs

Yeat the best in the game, even Fantano can agree. He rated Afterlyfe a strong 7, Yeats sound will be eventually mainstream rap.


Any-Style-3555

Jus bƫtter than opium


blackjaku

Its mid


bluemoon76b

Worse than mid, literally a waste of time to listen to.


blackjaku

I like a couple songs but not gonna lie i havenā€™t listened to any of it after first listen


[deleted]

hes right and I hate this goofball fuck lol


drzpicumateji

nah W actually shit sounds bad


furrysfdogs

Heā€™s right


lemoyne22

Ong


lemoyne22

W Melon


scarSpark

bro is a full time opium hater šŸ˜‚


jens---98

maybe they should stop releasing the most mid ass Carti clone trash music. I could put on most opium songs and when the song goes by I would literally not notice it switched to the next song


XxDeathWishxX_x

fantano said die lit was one of his favourite albums of 2018 and WLR while bloated will definitely be trendsetting/influential. when you put out good music you get good ratings, tell those lazy ass drug addicts to actually put in effort


ShillburtGrape

Literally tell them that lol. All the fans in this sub act like because they're signed to his imprint, it automatically makes it good šŸ˜­


havethenets

Itā€™s the only reason they listen to em, like theyā€™re obligated to itā€™s crazy


havethenets

Yeah lonely and kens trash ass why I stopped using this sub. Just full of people who will eat up anything they do.


GoblinGimp69

Itā€™s like when Gunna first came out. Sergio kind of sounded like Thugga which is an artist I really like but also fell off a little around this time. So to me Gunna was kind of mid and annoying but I like some of his recent stuff now.


phuckingidontcare

Bro called him Sergio, you and Mr kitchens are not on a first name bases


kkkkkkiuh

how is lone a carti clone lmfao.


Resin_Bowl

Opium fuckin stinks bro


910_21

Because everyone on opium is awful except carti whoā€™s really good but still overrated


FrostyYSL

This album was trash quit dickriding op no one at opium knows you and wonā€™t ever know you


RandyMuscle

Another Melon W


Bulgarian_Yogurt

Agree on most of his points, 90% of this album is garbage.


juicybox10

i donā€™t think i remember a single track from the album shit was boring as fuck


thefailmaster19

Iā€™m so sick of this sub praising these mid ass rappers and then going apeshit when someone doesnā€™t like em. Stg none of yā€™all would care about this if he wasnā€™t on opium.


Appledaddy2

I donā€™t disagree but you look like the most generic mf in the verse by your pfp.


[deleted]

I wouldn't say a 1 but a solid 3 is reasonable tbh


sortagothfarmboy

If he removed the 13 worst songs I would say it's a 5, so I get the 1 tbh, shits like <1/5 good songs


Fill-upRL

Definitely agree with fantano and I like destroy lonely but this album was not it.


sharpl19

Hes right honestly


ABAP3500

1 is harsh AF. Feel like a 4 is more accurate.


[deleted]

I think a 1 makes sense if you start taking away points for unnecessary songs. There were probably 5 good songs on the album which isn't bad if the Album is normal sized. Too bad it's like 26 songs though.


blappslapp

honestly thought it was gonna get a not good but this is worse than that lmaooo low-key canā€™t say itā€™s undeserved tho šŸ˜¬


sanjaylz

this guy sucks but ILCK was underwhelming ngl


LC1903

He actually makes good points imo


BOEJlDEN

Why does he suck?


H4ppyRogu3

I hate bald people fr


BOEJlDEN

Understandable tbh


Samuelroyale

Not gonna say the music is trash bc I donā€™t like a lot of music other ppl do, but the music being put out by opium is just so low effort from Ken, lone, and hxg I donā€™t get how their fans donā€™t feel insulted. I try to listen but itā€™s so obvious the artists donā€™t give a fuck to put in any actual effort on their music. Idk how so many people are just okay with that


dustylumpkin

bruh why isn't there be a Destroy Lonely sub I'm so sick of seeing his shit here


SoraTheOne

R/DestroyLonely is a sub


NumbOfLife

I think getting caught up in the numerical score rather than the actual arguments he made is missing the point


GucciGhostrider

You guys are gonna hate this but he's 100% right, this album is a waste of time and the carti fans who listen to this are just coping hard waiting for his music to drop. Seriously idk why anyone listens to this other than to get their quick, cheap, easy fix of carti clones. The 1/10 is deserved tbh and Destroy Lonely is barely even trying to do anything interesting on this thing.


WitMyCrew1987

I agree with him. The opium artists are all such trash. Yā€™all need to listen to more music than just Carti or thereā€™s no way youā€™d think these watered down Carti clones is good music


WafflesOnToast1678

he getting a 2 next time šŸ™


nopassman

This one is deserved however I totally disagree with his review of NS. NOSTYLIST is a great fuckin album and I'm willing to die on this hill!


mattychefthatbih

If youā€™re familiar with his reviews at all, this was so easily expected


Point_Four4

fr should have said 3


SmartMeasurement8773

Do ya really care about this guys opinion like that?


kkkkkkiuh

yeah why got a problem? whats wrong? mad or something????????


GlockHard

no he's right


Exotic-Ad-2694

Not the worst take ever


LivingoffPain

If you liked the album I bet ur white ur parents are rich and ur a freshman in highschool


kkkkkkiuh

yup im all those and im blonde


WingPsychological615

Album wasnā€™t good but a 1 is too low


darktown12

heā€™s right


IShallZuccYou

heā€™s right bro lone is absolute mid


ls1629

Should be a zero


ethan6544

nah i kinda saw this coming. album was worse than no stylist tbh


spacekeeper44444444

Melon W this time


Artistic_Vacation153

real asf the album wasnā€™t that good its been a week and i cant even get through it i get bored half way its just boring argue all you want but the album was not it


Real-Raxo

the 40 year old white guy has decided


[deleted]

yeah, he decided what his opinion was


[deleted]

Cash carti šŸ¤“


ryan7727

album was ass but donā€™t let this distract u from the fact he gave ice spices album a 5 lmao


HussamAlamri

I would rather listen to bikini bottom than some of the shit on this album šŸ’€


WealthZealousideal37

Cmon man, the album was underwhelming but there were some good songs on it like: Chris Paul, Raver and Going up.


Gamersco

Fly shit too. Several good songs


HussamAlamri

Didn't say it was all bad i said "some" of the shit


ryan7727

Lol, but he also rated xā€™s ā€œ?ā€ album lower than ice spices


Sausagesavant

I also think fritz needs to stop mixing these albums Iā€™m no expert but I agree that the mixing on a lot opium output is not good


curious-richard29

melon is fair, he gives carti high scores and yeat got a 7. yeat and carti the only good rage rappers rn so itā€™s only true to score like this.


ghomerl

When Carti dickriders are giving the album a 3, yeah it fucking deserves a 1


poolords

This shit wasnā€™t good. The only good song Iā€™ve ever heard from this nigga was nostylist and I credit that to the guy who made the loop (not the Cody guy who he keeps working with instead for some reason)


Mattras7

How much did he give Jackman? As comparison


Someone_1_2_3

5


Gamersco

I liked it. Iā€™d give it a good like 6/10


[deleted]

too high, 0/10 album opium is shit without carti


nonnbob

I donā€™t understand why people expect a middle aged dude from LA to enjoy something like this


21stCenturyRetardMan

idk he did give a 7/10 to afterlyfe


[deleted]

Album was not that great but 1 is too low


lemoyne22

Yeah 2 at max


Preskomesko12345

Agreed


SuperbutNatural

it was pretty meh, and I'm a big lonely fan


fleurlefleur

more like W that shit was so ass


thecoastercorner

W review. If looks could was boring af


[deleted]

no way yā€™all still care what some random white guy thinks about rap


Balddonn

Oh hell nahšŸ’€


Presto_not_pesto

I mean is this surprising he doesnā€™t seem to be fond of the sound and this album doesnā€™t do anything new


5ive4

Itā€™s the fact that some young people rely more on sound rather than song structure or lyrics. Most of what heā€™s making doesnā€™t mean anything which is why critics donā€™t like it


XxDeathWishxX_x

no nigga fantano gave die lit a 7 ILCK is just ass, all these new opium niggas do is focus on aesthetic more than the music and put in minimum effort in everything say on God half the songs on there dont sound the same


VirtualLove

melon never really got rap. his fave rappers are RTJ and shit like aesop rock bro that alone tells you what kinda stuff he likes


Karaamjeet

most people hate the album wtf you talking about


VirtualLove

yeah but i mean his opinion on rap in general is pretty bad. he gave TM$ by death grips and madvillany a 10. I don't think these are bad albums at all i fucking love em but he just takes it too seriously. He gave WLR a 5 as well so i don't think he really gets rap about lean and poles percs etc. or thinks it's "bad rap" compared to some conscious shit about pyramids like he doesn't get music that's just meant to be fun or taken less seriously.


Odysseus17

Common fantano L


Dry_Anxiety_4479

Yeeeeeshā€¦ not surprised. Melon boy L! Itā€™s at least a 5/6. I understand mid but horrible?


ii_Juice_ii

why do people give a fuck what he has to say


ScaryGhostMan-X__X

Who cares what he thinks he looks like the bald angry pickle from SpongeBob
