every month a new group of people rediscover the fact that the phrase "musical act" involves an act of some sort. Whether it be exaggeration, taking a role that's not always you, or just straight up playing a character. One has to wonder if they think Eminem actually murdered dozens of women and got away with it.
Given that people use his reviews, most of which aren’t even positive, of Eminem as some proof that he’s a hypocrite for not wanting to review Kanye, yeah people do think that.
I mean it was kind of obvious that whole charade was a persona rather than his real self, otherwise he would be insufferable even to himself lol. He figured out that a “cool, mysterious, deep” front brings more eyes and attention and he’s capitalizing on it.
@@mr.dirtydan3338 It doesn’t change anything about his talent as a musician, but I would guess it can devolve into a little section of people that are just constantly gonna be trying to shame or make fun of him since his “character” seems to be so different and “fake” compared to his real self.
Its not really a character as much as it is just him growing up. Those vids were old asf. Of course hes gonna play up the mystique tho. Every musician or even person does that
This is such a thing in black metal too. So many people both in and outside of the genre take it waaay to seriously even though nearly every black metal artist is a massive (music) nerd.

For some reason, there’s always people getting shocked to find out that musicians are performers just like actors are. They sell you on an image of themselves that caters to the type of music that they make, but that doesn’t mean they live and breathe that shit 24/7.
the thing about people who make music is: we are technically band geeks and theater kids, even if we weren't IN band class or theater. when people think of artists who paint, they think sensitive nerdy people. When they think an artist that rhymes, or sings, or dances, they think of tough guy party monsters, but them painters be gettin turnt up and rappers are doing a bunch of math to make their words fit into the music
1:26 yeat went to a cotton candy shop and took off his ski mask to take a picture, and fanta I promise you he did throw cotton candy out on tour, he did not eat all of it 😂

We are going through a paradigm shift where we once knew so little about celebrities so we latched on to mystery. Now, In the day of social media that’s almost impossible to achieve so most people have to accept these famous folks aren’t gods… they’re very much like ourselves.
Kinda opposite . People like carti and Yeat don’t show anything, leaving their fans to interpret and dream their own reality of their life based on their perceptions. Conscious or not

This is barely worth addressing bc its basically only kids that would think this is anywhere near "bad" for his image and i would guess *many* but not all adults are endeared by things like this. I enjoyed yeats music + believed hed blow from the beginning, but i really became a yeat fan through seeing how he was a real guy + that blossomed with this new sober approach to the music. Yeat is taking nothing but w's lately, this convo is just silly fun primarily spurred by people who live off ad revenue from teen rap fans
People are so quick to take offense if someone they’re a fan of isn’t super open and basically willing to do a show just for them, never considering that they’re the ones being weird
Hey Anthony! Who makes your prescription shades? I'm assuming they're prescription. I've struggled to find steezy looking sunglasses offered in prescription.

Lol that pic of Yeat with the cotton candy is absolutely classic, love it. The only thing better is that clip of him singing "i do not be cleaning my booty", i know it's probably not real but I'm still clinging on to that shit
I've been rapping for 20 years, countless shows, countless encounters with rappers of all stripes. Anthony's statement about how rappers are not cool and they're all goobers, you are not going to hear a truer statement.
If you aren't weird, you are doing it wrong. When you escape that wretched high school/adolescent bubble and actually surround yourself with people who challenge you, and have different viewpoints, you will grow exponentially. People just want to have validation when they don't have it, but since the dawn of time you have to earn it with hard work and vision. That goes beyond music.
Yeat isn’t cool, his music isnt great, lyrics are trash and much more. I understand people liking his vybe just like carti but we won’t ever act like he’s making good music.
Fantano. What you are doing in this video is humanizing rappers. The way I see it, you are doing what the black community has needed for a while: You are humanizing the great black artists of the industry. I'm EXTREMELY tired of everyone ignoring how shitty this 20-year-old trend has been, where the best way to be a successful black rapper is lock yourself into this animalistic image of mystery, unlimited sexual prowess and invincibility. So I thank you for finally calling this shit out because yes, it is getting to a point where rappers are shamed for not being mystical gang-banging drug lords.
The problem with popular art is that it's consumed by people who have absolutely no appreciation of art, so their metric for what's good becomes something entirely unrelated, such as the artists personal life which they feel entitled to know about for some bizzarre reason. Anytime I'm having a discussion about music and the person brings up something about the artists personality or life I just turn around on the spot and walk away. Those people are not worth talking to.
I met Dan Barrett of Have A Nice Life/Giles Corey briefly in 2017 at a music festival I was working at as a roadie. He's easily the friendliest well-known musician/songwriter that I've ever met. Now listen to his music and read his lyrics. I met him right after seeing Have A Nice Life play live and they were fucking amazing. At live shows he's an incredible frontman, like a goth Ian MacKaye if that makes any sense. Clearly his music comes from somewhere genuine, because there's real pain there, but the reason people like him put all that pain into their art isn't to glorify suffering, it's to contain those feelings within a piece of art where they can no longer hurt the artist. Apparently in real life, Dan Barrett is a family man with a "real job" who just happens to make really dark, really fucked up music because that's how he processes pain. I only met him for all of 10 minutes, almost a decade ago, but I thanked him for making "Deathconsciousness" because that album helped me cope with some truly terrible shit that happened to me in my early 20's, (and it's just a really good album) and then I went back to work because Chameleons Vox were about to play and I needed to make sure none of their gear had been moved somewhere backstage that it shouldn't be. Point being, how a person acts onstage or on an album is almost never how they are in real life.
What really cemented this new album as an artistic evolution for me, was exactly what the Melon said about "everyone has vulnerable moments". This time Yeat actually put his emotions and vulnerabilities on the album itself, instead of it just being about, drugs, money and the rapper lifestyle like previous projects. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing inherently wrong with talking about that stuff, and he did have some moments in past projects with great self-reflection, specially with regards to drug use with lines like "Bitch, I be high on these drugs every day of my life / I don't know at all if I should quit or not / How the fuck could I choose if this is bad for me? / When everything goin' out sad on my life"; but this time it seems he himself realized life is not only sex, drugs and rock'n'roll and being fucking mysterious lol, now it's only the audience that needs to realize it too.

Lol that pic of Yeat with the cotton candy is absolutely classic, love it. The only thing better is that clip of him singing "i do not be cleaning my booty", i know it's probably not real but I'm still clinging on to that shit
I've been rapping for 20 years, countless shows, countless encounters with rappers of all stripes. Anthony's statement about how rappers are not cool and they're all goobers, you are not going to hear a truer statement.
Genuinely great video. Especially near the end. Really needs to be said.👏🏻👏🏻
If you aren't weird, you are doing it wrong. When you escape that wretched high school/adolescent bubble and actually surround yourself with people who challenge you, and have different viewpoints, you will grow exponentially.
People just want to have validation when they don't have it, but since the dawn of time you have to earn it with hard work and vision. That goes beyond music.
Never say "macho chad rizz king" again fantanyl
3:47 never thought id hear fantano say this 💀
Yeat isn’t cool, his music isnt great, lyrics are trash and much more.
I understand people liking his vybe just like carti but we won’t ever act like he’s making good music.
what makes yeat bad tell me
@@Sicklxy His existence...his music. The despicable me song...everything. Go glaze yeat elsewhere.
gen z had the whole internet available to them since they were a fetus and they still believe tooth fairy type fables about rappers
he acts like that for people to talk about it so his career gets better. Hes a smart dude
yeat fans gonna go crazy when they realize he aint actually a trillionaire alien from twizz land
I knew he wasn’t gonna hate on yeat in this vid bc there’s no period at the end of the title
How can you honestly say "rizz king" without cringing tho
People mad at the pictures need to go outside and interact with a human, at least once.
I believe he gave out the cotton candy at a concert or something like that
Fantano. What you are doing in this video is humanizing rappers.
The way I see it, you are doing what the black community has needed for a while: You are humanizing the great black artists of the industry. I'm EXTREMELY tired of everyone ignoring how shitty this 20-year-old trend has been, where the best way to be a successful black rapper is lock yourself into this animalistic image of mystery, unlimited sexual prowess and invincibility.
So I thank you for finally calling this shit out because yes, it is getting to a point where rappers are shamed for not being mystical gang-banging drug lords.
Creativity = neurodivergent = awkward
He's a sweeter man than you'll ever be, Tony.
1:26 he threw the cotton candy to the crowd at his concert
kid in my class had like 30000 minutes of just yeat last year. pray for my boy🙏
you know, yeat met like actual aliens but this is what people is concerned about. we're screwed
Yeat isn't going to make me give up on musicians any time soon.
The problem with popular art is that it's consumed by people who have absolutely no appreciation of art, so their metric for what's good becomes something entirely unrelated, such as the artists personal life which they feel entitled to know about for some bizzarre reason.
Anytime I'm having a discussion about music and the person brings up something about the artists personality or life I just turn around on the spot and walk away. Those people are not worth talking to.
I met Dan Barrett of Have A Nice Life/Giles Corey briefly in 2017 at a music festival I was working at as a roadie. He's easily the friendliest well-known musician/songwriter that I've ever met. Now listen to his music and read his lyrics. I met him right after seeing Have A Nice Life play live and they were fucking amazing. At live shows he's an incredible frontman, like a goth Ian MacKaye if that makes any sense. Clearly his music comes from somewhere genuine, because there's real pain there, but the reason people like him put all that pain into their art isn't to glorify suffering, it's to contain those feelings within a piece of art where they can no longer hurt the artist. Apparently in real life, Dan Barrett is a family man with a "real job" who just happens to make really dark, really fucked up music because that's how he processes pain.
I only met him for all of 10 minutes, almost a decade ago, but I thanked him for making "Deathconsciousness" because that album helped me cope with some truly terrible shit that happened to me in my early 20's, (and it's just a really good album) and then I went back to work because Chameleons Vox were about to play and I needed to make sure none of their gear had been moved somewhere backstage that it shouldn't be. Point being, how a person acts onstage or on an album is almost never how they are in real life.
Literally every rapper from the 2000s was a huge marvel nerd before it was cool
I wouldn’t say “huge Marvel nerd”, but “John Blaze” was ‘90s NY rap slang.
3:34 how does bro know me 🥸
What really cemented this new album as an artistic evolution for me, was exactly what the Melon said about "everyone has vulnerable moments". This time Yeat actually put his emotions and vulnerabilities on the album itself, instead of it just being about, drugs, money and the rapper lifestyle like previous projects. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing inherently wrong with talking about that stuff, and he did have some moments in past projects with great self-reflection, specially with regards to drug use with lines like "Bitch, I be high on these drugs every day of my life / I don't know at all if I should quit or not / How the fuck could I choose if this is bad for me? / When everything goin' out sad on my life"; but this time it seems he himself realized life is not only sex, drugs and rock'n'roll and being fucking mysterious lol, now it's only the audience that needs to realize it too.
this is actually a good take on music personalities
Yeat is a character he's a human and doesn't talk about his Twizies to his family this is news
