ZELOOPERZ - VAN GOGH'S LEFT EAR / 2021 / BRUISER BRIGADE / TRAP RAP, ABSTRACT HIP HOP
6/10
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
this is the only album ever to have danny brown rapping on the crash bandicoot theme. therefore its a 10/10
IMO the beat on “Scrap or Die” from _XXX_ sounded like something straight out of Crash Bandicoot.
As godly as that was from a meme perspective I'm actually pretty disappointed they didn't do it in a more conventional way - could've slapped for real.
As Detroit as it gets
That beat ruined his verse lol
@@whitemamba0089 ur just square
"he high like satellites, he bip bip bip bip bip bip satellites" really pulls this whole project up to a strong 9 for me
Hard agree, love the last two
decent 8 for me really gud album also satellites is definitely one of the best tracks
Does it go "Bee boo boo beep" or "Bee bee bee boop"?
@@Foxaniduable Always thought it was just "bip bip bip bip bip bip" like a satellite going "bip bip bip"
“Old school telephone, bitches beep beep beeping me”
I feel like at this point I know Anthony’s entire wardrobe
It's gotten to the point where I can predict the score he's gonna give any given album just by his shirt.
@recordmountainboy Anthony has developed a rigid formula. He's basically a review robot at this point
Saw him live recently and it was amazing lol no backing tracks and missed no bar while going crazy in the stage, truly a talent
Just saw him last night, what a fucking performer!
Not even joking, Battery is one of the best hip hop songs I’ve ever heard
Trap u mean?
@@lilreesespuff trap is a sub genre of hiphop
lol
@@lilreesespuff bruh that word don’t mean anything anymore lmao
facts its to Zel what Monoply is to Danny
I’ll never get over that crash bandicoot flip, 8/10 in my eyes!
What song is that lol
@@toch951gallegos3 “bash bandicoon” lmao
Battery, bash bandicoot & don’t leave are the only tracks that are a must listen imo
@@Hack_The_Planet_ for me it was battery, van gogh's left ear, each and every moment, mechanic, other side of the mirror, dedicated my life, satellites.
@@callimmer hey I’m subscribed to you lmao. I have some other tracks I dig off of it, but I’m not as hot on it as you. But the 3 I listed I personally consider mandatory re-spins
I’m happy you at least covered it and have ZelooperZ a bigger audience
He reviewed Help a while back, and I was shocked he didn't review Dyn-O-Mite or even that new Bruiser Wolf
My stepbro showed me the help album last year ever since then I've loved zelooperz
If you haven't listened to Reign Supreme by Bruiser Brigade you really should. Zelooperz sounds better on that album than his own albums imo.
Favts
@@dyldragon1 he talked about Bruiser Wolf in a YUNOREVIEW.
the closest we'll get to Anthony acknowledging the existence of rx nephew
i feel as if we are getting closer and closer
RXK!!!!
@@flyingmonkeyofus69 REAL RX
this is exactly how i felt yo
Pitchfork has written about him like 20 times and he was on the front page for like 2 days they are in love with him but Fantano stay sleep. Best upcoming rapper
I’ve been in love with this project for a while now. This album is just fun.
ok
@@hi_mom_im_on_youtube glad we can come to an agreement
Reminds me of the first time I listened to XXX
GOATED ALBUM! Predicting a 10
EDIT: my disappointment is immeasurable :(
oof
@@largeDUMBASS no spoilers 🤫
@@MrTooEarnestOnline he gave it a 6
@@leaveyaheadspinnin4736 shhh
oh no
battery not being a top track is a crime
SCOREBOARD GLOWING LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE
@@antonyuhyuh2595 glowing
I think that's just a technicality because it's an opening track, Anthony doesn't seem to put intros, outros, or interludes in the best/worst considerations.
@@lilreesespuff my bad haven’t listened to tha track in a while😭 thankyou lol
@@Number9Robotic i mean it's an opening track, not a random intro, makes no sense -- besides, he does put interludes, did it with the most recent simz record (as a least fave)
Well, he gave MBDTF a light 6, so if you think about it, this is a 10
Yup
I'll agree this album only playing on the right channel was definitely a point of contention for me too.
usually I hate all the jokes in theneedledrop comments but this is pretty good 👍
Holy shit never thought I’d see Z getting a fantoine review, you truly love to see it!
Nvm bro got reviewed in 2014 im just a poser
takes a real man to acknowledge his mistakes, you’re far from a poser my g (:
@@cashiuscash5990 wtf so wholesome thx bro xox
I love Anthony Fantoine
I don't know anything but that cover art is fantastic
he drew it himself
Good to know, thanks guys! That's crazy awesome!
ZEL HAS BEEN INFLUENCING THE RAP SCENE FROM THE SIDELINES FOR YEARS
For real... he always ahead of the game with his producers too
How
@@whitemamba0089 you been OOTL my man
@@ephemeralpanacea3087 what?
Trust me, this is worth a listen. Fresh sound.
Anthony you didn’t need to cut off Cal’s left ear at the end
If it was "Van Gogh's Right Ear" this would be a 10/10

Finally Fantano decides to start to review classic art
I've only been able to listen to ZelooperZ for the last month. Please send help. In all honesty though I fucking love this man, I think he's the one of the most creative people in music and extremely inspiring to me in the way he makes his own lane in every capacity. Also an incredible painter
THIS !!!! well said. Im also infatuated in the same way. saw him open for danny right before the pandemic and it was fantastic -
Stuck in the Zelooperz odyssey again
One of the most creative guys in the game, love to see him getting more attention over the past few years
Anthony always comes through with some unexpectedly late reviews. I'm a big fan of Zelooperz and this is a really fun album. I think Dyn-O-Mite is still my favourite of his but this one has a lot of his zanyiest tracks yet. Bash Bandicoon getting heavy replay.
He gets given a lot of major releases a week early or something by the artist/label so he can review it soon after it comes out and the artist gets a bump in traffic in exchange.
Maybe why smaller artists get late reviews
Man’s finally reviews a full Zelooperz project and drops a 6. The biggest travesty in TND history
Anthony’s just mad that Zelooperz is bigger than him
turn the 6 upside down, it’s a 9 now
We need more reviews in this lane of hip-hop, melon! Where’s my Pink Siifu GUMBO review???
Gumbo SLAPS
might've been afraid to go there after that god awful MIKE review lol
@@toogoodlimegreen Weight of the World isn’t as great as I initially thought. It’s still a great album but I do see a lot of the points he makes. War in my Pen and the new album Disco are both better imo.
@@jirehjirehjirehjireh that's fair but the comment about him being an "earl sweatshirt ripoff" when MIKE and them had that sound well before earl joined in is p tonedeaf imo
@@toogoodlimegreen Yeah. You can definitely tell he didn't do his research beyond looking at album release dates and assuming whos "pioneering" based on that alone. Good thing he seems to be familiarizing himself with the new wave between his Navy Blue and this review
this album is what blueface’s music could’ve been
Glad to see you reviewing this project
Thank you for reviewing Z, there’s truly no one like him in the game right now and he deserves so much more attention. I can’t believe you didn’t mention “Andrea Bocelli” tho!!! Best song on the album with an insane beat and meaningful lyrics.
damn, kinda in love with this record for the last couple weeks
It’s been on repeat for me since it dropped
I was definitely expecting a higher score based on the review
I Think this is my favorite Zelooperz project. It's Artistic all the way down to the cover he painted. Being a Michigan rapper myself not far from the City 🌆 I kinda look at it with eyes that I imagine the Artist himself would. (You gotta come from that cloth ... IT Hit Different ✊🏿💯🧙🏿♂️🗡️🔥)
Bash Bandicoon is a masterpiece
Its gonna be appreciated in time.
I wasn't the biggest Zelooper fan I listened to all his stuff one or two times nothing my style BUT this album I listen to it every day I can't get enough of it and the Song Battery gets me hyped every time! This album shows me it's Ok to just rap and have fun when making music.
Literally today, I was thinking that Fantano should review this! THANK YOU! Zelooperz deserves so much more love!
Thanks for reviewing this I looked for you review but I couldn’t find it when it first came out. Zelooperz aged so well his new albums are amazing! This review is for me
just glad zelooperz is getting attention. that being said i still have to listen to this, very behind on releases lately whoops. it’s summer too yikes. but yeah been having my eye on him since that one Earl feature on “Easter Sunday” still love that track. dude retweets his art a lot though good lord it’s half my feed sometimes.
I remember finding this album at work and thinking that it was an absolute mess but I realized later it was bc I wasn’t really paying attention to it, a couple daze later I smoked a doober and gave it another shot on my studio monitors and mannnn. I really got to see the genius behind all the chaos. Zelooperz immediately became one of my top 5
This album is dope, Z is by far the most versatile rapper out rn. He can do it all
ZelooperZ has been on an unbelievable hot streak for the past three years, it’s insane. And this album may or may not be his magnum opus, it’s that damn good. I love this dude’s work so much. Album is easily an 8 for me, but it is what it is. Also, check out the Bruiser Brigade album if you dig this. The fact that that project only has a few thousand spins on Spotify months after its release disgusts me.
very well said !! i agree completely
Shocked Anthony is reviewing this, he's been ignoring Zelooperz projects for years. Also whatever score you give is not better than the Crash Bandicoot song
right. i only found out about z cause of the help review but he’s put out so many great projects since then that deserved a listen
Ya he better do a retrospective on his collab album with Shigeto, Piece of the Geto cause that’s honestly a top 10 of the decade album.
Each and Every Moment is such a banger
Dyn-O-Mite was my favorite release of 2019, and just one of my favorite albums ever fr & period!!!
We love you, Z
saw zelooperz open for danny brown way back in the day. the energy was incredible
holy shit i love this album. zelooperz is so crazy, glad you reviewed it.
Zel is this generations Lil Wayne- zany vocal inflections that not everybody vibes with yet, crazy hilarious wordplay and punchlines that you might not catch on the first listen.. this guy is crazy underrated in my opinion
Man I love zel but comparing them is disrespectful to wayne
@@clownybrowny3617 Give it 5-10 years and that won't be the case
fantano has now officially listened to RX Nephew. RXK !!!
Didn't expect a review of this but I'm glad we got it
Rx nephew review is inevitable
Album of the summer! been playing this shit everyday for like two months. love "Battery" "Dont leave" "Dedicated my life"
"Satelites" "Other Side of The Mirror" and "Van Gohs Left Ear" amazing tracks. if you like Danny Brown and weird ass beats then you'll love Zeloopers.
We’ve been waiting for this one 🙏🏻
Ayyye!!! This is dope, I just saw that video he posted on the fantano channel 5 hours ago, the eerie-ness is YUHHHH!! this album seems cool and I love the review!
I've seen Zeloopers perform in Detroit idk how many times.. he is one funny, cool dude, I'll always support him
Anyone know what that album with the face on it in the background's called ?
Wow, I really really enjoyed this. I thought this was better than a bunch of his other reviews of higher scores. It felt different and unique
Anthony that intro is a 10/10. Caught me off guard "Exit strategy here".
FINALLY. My man gets another needledrop review. ❤
That's cool that you are reviewing paintings now, Anthony!
Thanks for giving this album shine melon. Now please review Rich Shooter
this sounds cool thanks melon, i’ll give this a listen!
Damn I really didn’t expect this review lets go
I love trying to predict the scores before I check
Glad ur giving this some shine
checked out this album/review cause of the cover art, ended up liking it a lot!! imo its a 8/10
edit: ( i also really appreciate how almost every track transitions really well into each other, adds a lot )
Would personally argue for Strong 6 or light 7, 2well executed for light 6.
So hype you reviewed this
I respect the risks he takes so much, and it’s not very often you see artist like him that get lost in the music nowadays.
Did he review that Fat Ray album? That's how I fell into the world of Bruiser Brigade and this album too, cool stuff.
I didn’t think he would top dynomite but he did with this album and it bangs
Are you gonna review the new Killers or Jungle album?
Remember when these dudes popped up in my recommended a year or two ago, at first I wasn’t feeling it but after hearing 4 or 5 tracks, the vibe resonated with me pretty hard. It’s just so strange and abrasive.
Zeeloopers is just one guy
yeah it is just one guy but i mean at least the music is getting its attention we’ll let it slide
ZelooperZ scammed me out of $100, which made me completely stop checking out his music and anything he has going on.
He was offering to sell paintings, and then just never sent me anything at all. I thought that was a pretty shitty thing to do to a fan.
Pressure machine review next?
Bluez is the craziest song of zelooperz discography. Still can't believe he made it
Please I swear to god review Still Woozys debut album If This Isnt Nice I Dont Know What Is
Anthony I love your reviews I really do but do you really think the example “meek mills 8 episodes deep into an anime” gives anybody an idea of what a song sounds like
I feel like alot of the songs towards the end seemed unfinished and generic for Z, but every song in the first 10-12 was absolutely crazy.
I'd say 7/10, because i like Dyn-O-Mite more, which imo is an 8 or light 9.
is his next project gonna be van gogh's right ear
I listened to this album cuz naamdi called him the goat. Shit is honestly fire at first I found myself diggin the weird eccentric feels but not really sure if it would last and now I’m like obsessed and just wanna listen to his discography over and over and over
All these "10 streak memes" acting like _checking the score in the description & dipping_ hasn't been a *well honoured Fantano tradition* since 4ever
Would love to hear Anthony speak on Bruiser Wolf
Bro this album is good idc. This album is like being in ze’s playroom
HE ACTUALLY REVIEWED IT LETS GO
First listen I was like wtf is this.
Second listen I was like ok some tunes on here.
Third listen I was like I LOOK SO GOOD I FEEL SO GOOD I WANNA LAY DOWN IN SOME HAY
ZELOOPERZ/10 ZELOOPERZ/10 ZELOOPERZ/10
Grande melon, por fin una review de la oreja de Van gogh! Tienes razón que la primera cantante era mejor la verdad
That He-Man sample caught me off guard. It was incredible.
Had the privilege to see this guy live a couple years ago this guy is super wild live and nice widdit if you see this comment, go see him live if you can. Cool dude.
One of my favorite albums this year
Can you review now not yet by half alive?
duuude u need to review Jelani Aryeh's album I've got some living to do. it's so good holyyy
Fantano not even mentioning Andrea Bocelli is criminal that song is so majestic
mozsel offline was a dope tape the f1lthy beats are so fire. “babylon flannel i look like deebo”
the 'war in my pen' line is possibly a MIKE shoutout too
Definitely 💯
WHERE'S THE STILL WOOZY ALBUM REVIEW ANTKNEE?!!! 😡
Hey. Would you review the song BLUE CA$H off of my EP that released 3 weeks ago? Its a hip-hop/rap song
No
Love seeing Z getting love
hands down one of my favorite albums LOVE HIM!!
Pink siifu GUMBO WHEN??
