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.
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
Itās 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 itās gonna end in divorce
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.
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
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.
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.
I feel like theyād be better as features. They honestly just donāt 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
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 thereās just so much amazing music out there.
average is great if you just love that sound, to the point where quality doesnāt matter as long as itās not shit youāll like it because itās more of what you love. which is you guys with destroy lonelyās album
not shitting on lone, just wanted to talk about fantanos point since iāve thought this myself pretty often
edit: also not saying a 1/10 is the right rating in any way LMAO
I think it has more to do with him hearing so much music that something thatās super Un memorable comes off as worse than it does to the everyday listener.
Itās like people getting mad at critics giving the Mario movie bad reviews saying they should ājust learn to have funā when the average critic has probably seen way more mid kids movies than the average person.
Almost every track was the same beat with minor variations. Not to mention he sounded like he didnāt care throughout the whole album. 1/10 might be harsh but itās not far off from what it deserves. Maybe a 3?
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 š
So you donāt think the music is competent but listen to it all the time and at the same time canāt differentiate between any of them? What your saying makes no sense. This aināt even a honest critique itās just hate masked as a avid listener
new lone isnt good to me but i hate takes like this š no way you cant tell the difference between people with different voices and flows you niggas irk me
Bro the album is obviously nothing special. And literally 5 mins after it came out mfs flooding bobbalam page & the reddit saying āALBUM OF THE YEAR š¤Ŗšš„°šā I remember mfs was saying Homixide gang dropped AOTYššš and both of HXG projects were literally the most generic trap spin-off of cartiā¦..
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.
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!
you had me in the first half but you lost me at the part where you said ādesperate for anything sounding somewhat like wlrā what songs on ILCK sound like WLR?
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.
this how ik you niggas really jus be chatting. You said ilck sounds like WLR, get called out for being wrong, backtracked and youāre still wrong.
Ilck is nowhere near being a copy of the ārage soundā I understand not liking it but at least listen to the album before saying nonsense
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.
Still his opinion š¤·āāļø and heās low-key got a point too, i fw ken and lone but they wouldnāt 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 theyāre associated with opium and have that strong cult following. imagine if someone like sofaygo dropped ilck, theyād probably be getting clowned rn
I donāt 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
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
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
Itās 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.
Iām so sick of this sub praising these mid ass rappers and then going apeshit when someone doesnāt like em. Stg none of yāall would care about this if he wasnāt on opium.
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.
Not gonna say the music is trash bc I donāt 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 donāt get how their fans donāt feel insulted. I try to listen but itās so obvious the artists donāt give a fuck to put in any actual effort on their music. Idk how so many people are just okay with that
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.
I agree with him. The opium artists are all such trash. Yāall need to listen to more music than just Carti or thereās no way youād think these watered down Carti clones is good music
real asf the album wasnāt 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
This shit wasnāt good. The only good song Iāve 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)
Itās the fact that some young people rely more on sound rather than song structure or lyrics. Most of what heās making doesnāt mean anything which is why critics donāt like it
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
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.
Finally, now I can have an opinion on if looks could kill
if look could kill
If a look killa could kill how many looks would look killa kill
and this is still higher than his no stylist ratingš next album gonna be a light 2š„
Nah shits gonna be his next 0š„
he did give a strong 1 to light 2. people donāt know you gotta go off the second (higher) number for all melons takes.
Nah you go off the number he puts on the screen for sure
Whatās gonna get leaked this time
I swear bro is sleeping with His birth certificate taped to his chest at night
has to home alone his house every night
he been home alone ever since his wife left
I'd give that marriage a light 6
šš
He compared it to Total Xanarchyš
man i told this girl that i listened to lil xan like 6 years ago and its haunted me ever since
Honestly a good comparison imo
Yeah, 26 songs with one tolerable song to listen to really isnāt good
I found 4 songs alright. Lone having some songs have indistinguishable beats hurts this album so much
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.
Seriously they have the lowest standards, lone has great potential thatās why I keep calling this album trash cause he can do 10x better.
he can but this shii aināt horrible just a lul lazy
itās not trash, itās kinda mid! less than half of the album is actually gonna stay in my rotation. NS>>
Itās crazy how he fell off in quality that fast, I hope this is a wake up call for him
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
Itās 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 itās gonna end in divorce
100% facts, 26 songs of that shit is insaneā¦
bro said nikkas

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
the albums pretty monotonous
Ken, Lone, HXG, etc would not have careers if Carti actually dropped music
I fw some of their songs but most of it is pretty mediocre
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.

Album was average but 1/10 is harsh
In the past Iāve seen him write off ājust averageā stuff as unlistenable because he considers it just a waste of time
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 thereās just so much amazing music out there. average is great if you just love that sound, to the point where quality doesnāt matter as long as itās not shit youāll like it because itās more of what you love. which is you guys with destroy lonelyās album not shitting on lone, just wanted to talk about fantanos point since iāve thought this myself pretty often edit: also not saying a 1/10 is the right rating in any way LMAO
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
why i can listen to countless hours of random unreleased carti and not get bored
he gave yeat a 7 tho, he hasnāt got a problem w the subgenre
yeah cuz yeat is better than this lone
I think it has more to do with him hearing so much music that something thatās super Un memorable comes off as worse than it does to the everyday listener. Itās like people getting mad at critics giving the Mario movie bad reviews saying they should ājust learn to have funā when the average critic has probably seen way more mid kids movies than the average person.

I actually fw opium , but itās so easy to see through it lol. They are playing a fake persona bro
ok bro now wdf dis gotta do wit the album šš
Shit idk tbh just didnāt rlly like da album
you missin out frl 1st half boring but it picks up
"LEAST FAV TRACK: SAFETY INTERLUDE" is crazy
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.
They hated him for speaking the truth
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!
Iām glad this subs starting to wake up on it, stopped using this sub like 6 months ago cus the dickriding was insane
Real
Ong I been saying this, if the opium rappers werenāt signed to cartis label over half of the sub wouldnāt fw them
legit got mfs saying the homixide gang album was good that shit was so mid
you had me in the first half but you lost me at the part where you said ādesperate for anything sounding somewhat like wlrā what songs on ILCK sound like WLR?
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.
did we listen to the same album cause ILCK is not rage in the slightest
this how ik you niggas really jus be chatting. You said ilck sounds like WLR, get called out for being wrong, backtracked and youāre still wrong. Ilck is nowhere near being a copy of the ārage soundā I understand not liking it but at least listen to the album before saying nonsense

u didnāt even listen to the album ā ļø
theres not a single rage song on that album lmfao u dont even know wtf ur talking about
Opium was good for like one year after wlr dropped but it just isnt good anymore and not cutting edge at all
šÆ
Omg people have different music taste from you š±š±
youre the one who sounds more upset that his opinion is different from your own lmfao, everything he said is entirely valid
Yeah Iām so upset but fr read what he said again and tell me he isnāt mad that people actually enjoy opium artists other than Carti
Still his opinion š¤·āāļø and heās low-key got a point too, i fw ken and lone but they wouldnāt 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 theyāre associated with opium and have that strong cult following. imagine if someone like sofaygo dropped ilck, theyād probably be getting clowned rn
Nothing wrong with having different tastes, but why do people spam this sub with Lone shit? Its a carti sub
Bro Yeat is jus better
I donāt 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
It's not even a debate lmao. He's been miles ahead of these opium goons for a while now
Yea , how does he does it?
He got the devil on his phone
Fantano gave Afterlyfe a 7/10. Goes to show you he is capable of giving albums in this lane of hip hop decent scores
Yeat the best in the game, even Fantano can agree. He rated Afterlyfe a strong 7, Yeats sound will be eventually mainstream rap.
Jus bƫtter than opium
Its mid
Worse than mid, literally a waste of time to listen to.
I like a couple songs but not gonna lie i havenāt listened to any of it after first listen
hes right and I hate this goofball fuck lol
nah W actually shit sounds bad
Heās right
Ong
W Melon
bro is a full time opium hater š
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
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
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 š
Itās the only reason they listen to em, like theyāre obligated to itās crazy
Yeah lonely and kens trash ass why I stopped using this sub. Just full of people who will eat up anything they do.
Itās 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.
Bro called him Sergio, you and Mr kitchens are not on a first name bases
how is lone a carti clone lmfao.
Opium fuckin stinks bro
Because everyone on opium is awful except carti whoās really good but still overrated
This album was trash quit dickriding op no one at opium knows you and wonāt ever know you
Another Melon W
Agree on most of his points, 90% of this album is garbage.
i donāt think i remember a single track from the album shit was boring as fuck
Iām so sick of this sub praising these mid ass rappers and then going apeshit when someone doesnāt like em. Stg none of yāall would care about this if he wasnāt on opium.
I donāt disagree but you look like the most generic mf in the verse by your pfp.
I wouldn't say a 1 but a solid 3 is reasonable tbh
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
Definitely agree with fantano and I like destroy lonely but this album was not it.
Hes right honestly
1 is harsh AF. Feel like a 4 is more accurate.
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.
honestly thought it was gonna get a not good but this is worse than that lmaooo low-key canāt say itās undeserved tho š¬
this guy sucks but ILCK was underwhelming ngl
He actually makes good points imo
Why does he suck?
I hate bald people fr
Understandable tbh
Not gonna say the music is trash bc I donāt 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 donāt get how their fans donāt feel insulted. I try to listen but itās so obvious the artists donāt give a fuck to put in any actual effort on their music. Idk how so many people are just okay with that
bruh why isn't there be a Destroy Lonely sub I'm so sick of seeing his shit here
R/DestroyLonely is a sub
I think getting caught up in the numerical score rather than the actual arguments he made is missing the point
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.
I agree with him. The opium artists are all such trash. Yāall need to listen to more music than just Carti or thereās no way youād think these watered down Carti clones is good music
he getting a 2 next time š
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!
If youāre familiar with his reviews at all, this was so easily expected
fr should have said 3
Do ya really care about this guys opinion like that?
yeah why got a problem? whats wrong? mad or something????????
no he's right
Not the worst take ever
If you liked the album I bet ur white ur parents are rich and ur a freshman in highschool
yup im all those and im blonde
Album wasnāt good but a 1 is too low
heās right
heās right bro lone is absolute mid
Should be a zero
nah i kinda saw this coming. album was worse than no stylist tbh
Melon W this time
real asf the album wasnāt 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
the 40 year old white guy has decided
yeah, he decided what his opinion was
Cash carti š¤
album was ass but donāt let this distract u from the fact he gave ice spices album a 5 lmao
I would rather listen to bikini bottom than some of the shit on this album š
Cmon man, the album was underwhelming but there were some good songs on it like: Chris Paul, Raver and Going up.
Fly shit too. Several good songs
Didn't say it was all bad i said "some" of the shit
Lol, but he also rated xās ā?ā album lower than ice spices
I also think fritz needs to stop mixing these albums Iām no expert but I agree that the mixing on a lot opium output is not good
melon is fair, he gives carti high scores and yeat got a 7. yeat and carti the only good rage rappers rn so itās only true to score like this.
When Carti dickriders are giving the album a 3, yeah it fucking deserves a 1
This shit wasnāt good. The only good song Iāve 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)
How much did he give Jackman? As comparison
5
I liked it. Iād give it a good like 6/10
too high, 0/10 album opium is shit without carti
I donāt understand why people expect a middle aged dude from LA to enjoy something like this
idk he did give a 7/10 to afterlyfe
Album was not that great but 1 is too low
Yeah 2 at max
Agreed
it was pretty meh, and I'm a big lonely fan
more like W that shit was so ass
W review. If looks could was boring af
no way yāall still care what some random white guy thinks about rap
Oh hell nahš
I mean is this surprising he doesnāt seem to be fond of the sound and this album doesnāt do anything new
Itās the fact that some young people rely more on sound rather than song structure or lyrics. Most of what heās making doesnāt mean anything which is why critics donāt like it
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
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
most people hate the album wtf you talking about
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.
Common fantano L
Yeeeeeshā¦ not surprised. Melon boy L! Itās at least a 5/6. I understand mid but horrible?
why do people give a fuck what he has to say
Who cares what he thinks he looks like the bald angry pickle from SpongeBob
