It's crazy, he *IS* the one to get them to where they are at now. I'm not saying that Brockhampton wouldn't be huge without Anthony, but he helped with them getting discovered at such an early part of their career. I find it crazy when people completely disregard his opinion because they "don't like his score".
Hayden Greiman Dude, I thought the same thing when I watched his review, I was like, sounds about right but district is one of the few songs on there I can put on repeat and JAM
Same it's crazy first heard of them when I found Kevin's music. Didn't hear about them for a bit and then they dropped all those singles gold heat waste star ect and then they just took off from there.
Tbh when I saw the Saturation 1 review I thought oh their music is dope, they're gonna be nice underground acts I never would've thought they'd have the commercial success that they have
I think this is pretty monumental and much-needed for people outside of Brockhampton too. It is truly inspiring to see a group of really young people achieve something like this by doing exactly what they want as creatives and with no compromise
I think what makes it so easy for them to churn out the music is the amount of people involved. Imagine how long it would take one artist to come up with all the verses/beats.
I think something that should be taken into consideration is their merch, im pretty sure any type of merch bought on their site came with the album. Though i dont know if this would count towards albums sale?
I appreciate what brockhampton is doing right now. Including their fans in their videos, being very personal both through music and the documentary/Q&A. Like you really want them to succeed because they come off as real people with flaws that they aren't afraid to talk about. Need more of that good shit.
Not trying to discredit BH because I’ve been a fan for over 3 years and they put out great music, I’m just genuinely wondering. They give a digital download of the song with every piece of merch they sell, does this count towards a sale of the album?
Does anyone have info on the number of units that were bundled with the Iridescence merch? Each item came bundled with a digital copy of their album, and I know that business sold like juul pods before Coachella.
i think what makes melon so great is that he isn’t afraid of his own opinion what i mean is that whether or not he loves a band or not he will feel what he feels
BROCKHAMPTON is smart af they bundled their album with some of the shirts you could buy so if you bought merch it would also count as an album sale for them
Their merch sales were set up to where buying one item would be equivalent to buying 3 copies of the album. So right now I have three digital downloads of iridescence I’ll never use
I can't believe it... Now this means it's only going to take an even longer time for Anthony to get into BH now that they're mainstream, this is devastating.
I think the album sales are high because they released some merch with a digital download for a very reasonable price for both (I got a T-shirt and the digital download for $15+s&h). So they essentially handed it out for free. It ever so slightly reminds me of the whole U2 songs of innocence iTunes thing... But I’m proud of those boys, they deserve that #1 regardless
Brockhampton has worked their butts off for this moment. Thanks for acknowledging that... They do everything themselves. Not many people can say that. Thanks for the great review. 😍
I’m kind’ve the opposite of melon, Throughout the saturation trilogy I loved a ton of their songs but none of the Albums really completely left me speechless, iridescence really did that for me and I can’t wait for their future
Just join brockhampton already
are the ready for melon?
he's on the payroll
He can't, they don't allow black people.
How can he when death grips is still up and runnin
Kendrick gets a 7, wins a Pulitzer
Brockhampton gets a 7, wins a #1

Brendan Peahl it’s that lucky 7 my mans
*Becomes the most rich ass nigga before 18 years old with only 1 album*
Brendan Peahl *Harvard dropout gets a 10
He got arrested lmao
Gets adopted by Ye
My goal is to join Brockhampton before Anthony can.
The only way to join from the outside is to either be Jaden Smith, or to get Merlyn to say your name on a song

Low key you were the one gave them a huge lift which proves that you can really help music and music listeners
He's the reason why I started listening

I started listening to Darth Grapes since melonhead reviewed money store, greatest time of my life
It's crazy, he *IS* the one to get them to where they are at now.

anthony drop yandhi
Stop HIDING it from us MELON
this didn’t age well
You not liking DISTRICT was a top 5 anime betrayal of all time
Garrett Mitchell on god
Yeah I've come to terms with the 7, but not liking District is still unforgivable.
Hayden Greiman Dude, I thought the same thing when I watched his review, I was like, sounds about right but district is one of the few songs on there I can put on repeat and JAM
Garrett Mitchell AGREED
Garrett Mitchell District is so fucking good, I just don’t get it
all jokes aside, brockhampton owes a lot of their success to fantano. he turned me and my friends on to them and im sure countless others
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.
I'm a metalhead, and I discovered literally all my hiphop due to fantano.
Ian Reed I started listening to them because of Fantano! So true.
Me too bruh and this new album is fire
All you need to elevate mediocre music is social media. Pop culture for you.
What? Why should their hard work be turned over to a review he did on it?
thanks Burger King, we did it
I cant stop laughing at this 😂
Kanye announces Yahndi will be bundled with Jay Electronica's debut album
RedCalx Z when does it release tho?
Sergio Mendoza in 2118
I'll tell my great grandkids to keep an eye out for me
Deluxe edition actually comes with Detox too
wow at the peak of jays relevancy too
ANTHONY FANTANO IS #1 IN THE WORLD *RIGHT NOW* !!
MELON ALWAYS NUMBER ONE
💪🍈

I remember watching GOLD when it first came out. They’ve come a long way.
"i remember" nigga it was last year
Same it's crazy first heard of them when I found Kevin's music. Didn't hear about them for a bit and then they dropped all those singles gold heat waste star ect and then they just took off from there.
@@PicturesJester 😂😂😂😂
@@PicturesJester What you want him to say? Forget?
Gold is still a better track than everything on this latest album lol
this is essentially anthony fantano's billboard debut.
Anthony your passion is beautiful, keep it up

@@benjinbeenbingin1846 Whoosh...
Kevin really is the only dude who will rap about not wanting to be famous but will beg his fans to get his album to N.1
Adrian Lopez dude Kevin’s been super open about wanting to be massive
According to you, they’re number 7
MarTin ShorLux ooof
DAMN.
Then what number would a 1 rated album be?
@@interweeb5289 anything by eminem
well technically by that logic if he rated it a 10, they’d be number 10...
damn now i have to roam the streets with those people who only listen to spotify top 50 singing NEW ORLEANS
good. if they're gonna be the best boyband since one direction, that is how!!
Eh whatever, real fans or not it's helping the group
Dio agreed
William Bidgood agreed
"79,000 of those units sold were raw sale numbers" little did he know that most of them were from merch sales
- Nicki Minaj
Jose Mazon shut up nicki
I highly doubt that, their merch was so mid this time around
could've sworn it was 101k+ but 79k in actual sales
Didn't physical copies come with it?

*puts hand on shoulder*
you did this.
*single tear falls*
thank you.
Honestly Anthony played a big role into their rise of popularity
I think this is pretty monumental and much-needed for people outside of Brockhampton too. It is truly inspiring to see a group of really young people achieve something like this by doing exactly what they want as creatives and with no compromise
Thanks for the video, Anthony. You're a really cool dude.
Anthony, I respect your grind immensely. Keep up the great work. You’re an inspiration to so many of us.
He's so happy he's flying through the clouds
Shout out to the stans that play iridescence 24/7 on yall phone, couldnt have make this without yall
I think what makes it so easy for them to churn out the music is the amount of people involved. Imagine how long it would take one artist to come up with all the verses/beats.
They've got a goddamn factory of talent.
Also I love the pairing of that shirt & vest melon
Hey Tony, you should do an album list for all of Lil Waynes albums since Tha Carter V just dropped
I think something that should be taken into consideration is their merch, im pretty sure any type of merch bought on their site came with the album. Though i dont know if this would count towards albums sale?
Our boys ON TOP
Im so glad i decided to randomly see Kevin perform at camp flog gnaw in 2016. Came such a long way.
Cmon Fantano drop that Carter V review chop chop, i need an opinion on it, my friends are starting to ask questions
This was a lovely video for you to make
I knew you had that love child with Merlin, Tony.
*I FUCKIN KNEW IT*
Any chance you can try view and review The Longest Summer in America? Thanks Melon x
Guys that's not Anthony Fantano that's thatistheplan this UA-camr who's been missing since October of 2017
But Anthony, all they did was sell t-shirts
WHAT!!! For real?!?!! Congrats boys!! They're so amazing!
good stuff melon
Man you are ROCKING that battle jacket tbh
Did you guys know brockhampton said his name in a song?
Sloth Ian
Almost everyone does.
Yeah it was in BLEACH, when Dom was pouring his heart out he whispered Melon's name amidst a moment of raw emotion and honestly it was beautiful.
Merlyn did in Zipper
HEAD WAS CLEEEAAN TONY FANTANO
Sloth Ian yeah he’s a weird guy. Says his own name in songs but I like that about him
Melon had a whole scene in the Brockhampton documentary. Really enjoyed it.
I appreciate what brockhampton is doing right now. Including their fans in their videos, being very personal both through music and the documentary/Q&A.
Like you really want them to succeed because they come off as real people with flaws that they aren't afraid to talk about. Need more of that good shit.
Not trying to discredit BH because I’ve been a fan for over 3 years and they put out great music, I’m just genuinely wondering. They give a digital download of the song with every piece of merch they sell, does this count towards a sale of the album?
yes it counted
Love you melon. You do my work son
75,000 physical? shit thats awesome. excited for my vinyl copy and happy i snagged a shirt
Does anyone have info on the number of units that were bundled with the Iridescence merch? Each item came bundled with a digital copy of their album, and I know that business sold like juul pods before Coachella.
MELON MOVE CLOSER TO THE MIC.
thank you
Really Nice portrait mode
I WAS PART OF 79K. HAD TO SHOW MY SUPPORT.
Hell yeah brother, cheers from Iraq.
Hold up… I know they were selling digital downloads with their merch… did that contribute numbers? It would make a lot of sense
i think what makes melon so great is that he isn’t afraid of his own opinion what i mean is that whether or not he loves a band or not he will feel what he feels
OMFG THIS IS FUKKIN GREAT. I do feel bad for Ameer tho (and lowkey hope he's ok actually)
Good shit, Fantanothy
Giving away a digital download to the album with every piece of merch was brilliant, just through that I bought 4 copies of the album.
I was so sure this was going to be a ThatIsThePlan video
10 out of 10, review it again
i never noticed those clouds move
Anthony, saying you could park your new youtube money lambo in kevin abstract's teeth, was just uncalled for
I wonder how many albums they're gonna scrap before we get the next masterpiece
hello, yes. i would like you to review tha carter v right nok. thx
Melon:
*Get memories of when Cal's mixtape was number one*
That's great but where that Drogas Wave review at
love u melon
Your head looks especially melon in this video.
Keep it up 👍
I love the title and I agree
BROCKHAMPTON is smart af they bundled their album with some of the shirts you could buy so if you bought merch it would also count as an album sale for them
Their merch sales were set up to where buying one item would be equivalent to buying 3 copies of the album. So right now I have three digital downloads of iridescence I’ll never use
It gave you three downloads but it counted as one album sale
gift us one dawg
idkw, but I want to hug you melon.
Yes they are
I wonder what Amir is doing right now
To be fair, merch helped quite a bit
I can't believe it... Now this means it's only going to take an even longer time for Anthony to get into BH now that they're mainstream, this is devastating.

So they essentially handed it out for free. It ever so slightly reminds me of the whole U2 songs of innocence iTunes thing... But I’m proud of those boys, they deserve that #1 regardless
Any chance of a vinyl release of their projects? Or at least CD?
they sold iridescence vinyls in their online shop but I think they're sold out
“What are the rules for melon today?
What racist terms are forbidden to say?
I need to cut my hair like a real ass melon a real ass melon”
hardest working boyband in show business
Brockhampton has worked their butts off for this moment. Thanks for acknowledging that... They do everything themselves. Not many people can say that. Thanks for the great review. 😍

BUT WHEN WILL YOU REVIEW YAHNDI?
MynameisBob *Non self aware comment about how it’s not out yet*
It got pushed back to Nov 23.
Love the love melon
I’m so happy for them
I’m kind’ve the opposite of melon, Throughout the saturation trilogy I loved a ton of their songs but none of the Albums really completely left me speechless, iridescence really did that for me and I can’t wait for their future
Donald Trump don’t get me wrong, I loved the saturation era, but this album really resonates as an utterly unique and beautiful experience for me
I’m looking for a Yandhi, have you seen it?
My boys! Brockhampton thank you for a masterpiece. All the tracks are beautiful, bless up.
SWEET VEST MELON!!!
