KNjOWEnterprises 7 is actually a pretty good rating. if you look at it from an objective view, 1 being worst, 5 being average and 10 being literally the best, 7 is quite a bit over average. personally the album is a 8.5 due to not liking one certain track but other than that it was all great and right up my alley.
Hey! are you antony fantano? you know, I'm with this girl and she is a huge fan. I was wondering if you could just give her a strong 8 real quick. It would mean a lot to her vrau...
"Look at these people. Counting on me when i cant even count on myself. Look at these homies, So sure of me when im not even sure of myself. I need to slow down... I just need a good friend to show me how." So real and relatable especially if youve ever struggled with addiction.
Every time those lines repeated I felt them more, perfectly encapsulates the position that I and too many people I care about have been in. Never heard rap that spoke to me like this album did.
This is an album that has really improved with age, IMO. I can't help but think of this as a nearly if not perfect record. From Jon's beats, his voice, to him opening about his addiction, advice he gives out in songs like Human Condition, the way all of these themes interweave throughout the record...it's just stellar.
actually, fantano put it purpesely while reviewing Jonwayne's album. In the final track These Words Are Everything he gives props to Dilla, especially to the Donuts album
I don't know how I feel about the other 23 hours and 50 minutes he spends screaming the N-word into a memory foam pillow. But other than that, yeah he's doing pretty well for himself I'd say
I am so glad that you exist sometimes.. this is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I know my biases often usurp my judgement. but it's too true that jonwayne lives in the ever-expanding space between what is good and righteous, and what is dope.
"Putting a hook in the track" IS the division line between, "underground", and "mainstream. He's clearly making a statement of where he wants his music to be.
it actually took me 9.5 seconds just to click. it's more of a personal achievement. i have never used a mouse in my life. this is the first youtube video i have ever watched.
I really enjoyed this album. This was my first time listening to Jonwayne and was pleasantly surprised. The beats blew me away and I had to look up who made them. Turns out he's talented enough to make his own beats and have clever flows with witty lyrics. The introspective songs on the album hit hard and he's trying to open himself up in a way he claims he hasn't before. I feel like I know him better as a person and will definitely tell my friends to check this guy out. I'd give it 7 or an 8. Some moments do feel lackluster compared to others so maybe a 7 would be more representative.
I have to disagree with your statement of jonwayne basically needing to get over his problems to create better art. He vents his struggles through his music. His sound would change and not be as raw and vulnerable. I just can't believe how slept on jonwayne is. Lyrically, as a producer, an artist. It baffles me
Love your insights man. Astute observations. You make great recommendations to artists in relationship to the listeners and how we're all interpreting it. I think artists would do well to take some of your advice.
Anthony please help me find this album you had mentioned in one of your vinyl update videos ages ago. the cassette packaging was the brazilian flag and it was experimental/ambient music. ive gone through dozens of your vinyl update descriptions to see if any of the artist names sounded familiar and skimmed through the videos but i still cant find it :/ pls respond thx keep up the gr8 videos
If you are ever in the mood to listen to something heavy, i would recommend two deathcore albums that just released this year, Flesh Coffin by Lorna Shore and/or Xenocide by Aversions Crown. Pretty sure your not the biggest deathcore fan, if at all, but these two albums are probably the highlights for deathcore this year imo.
I think you hit the nail on the head. It seems to me that he is beholden to himself as an artist before anything else, and that can yield some mixed results in terms of the varying tones throughout his albums. I'm personally a fan of most of what he did on the album having followed his work, but I understand the perspective of seeing him as somewhat self involved when it comes to music.
Wow, I'll be honest I've unsubscribed to your channel not because of your music taste but because I got sick of the memes on your channel. However, you really hit the nail over the head on this one, I totally agree with this album. I resubscribed after this review.
You should talk about the new Enterprise Earth when it comes out. I'd definitely be interested in your thoughts on some of the more extreme metal from a different side of the metal spectrum.
the single is not a inability to communicate. its a outtake. considering that the same melody is used for a later track on the same album. Also there were 5 singles released for this album witch only 2 of the 5 were on the album. So the comments about the single make no sense. No mention of the cassette series, jonwayne is retired, From the vaults part 1,2,3 and 4. wayneaic Mondays on sound cloud where he dropped a free song every week for about 3 months. I think you should give this one another look, there's some stuff you missed.
I commented that you should review Logic's Bobby Tarantino before realizing you did so you should review Jansport J's Pharaohs and Jidenna's The Chief.
I thought the song live from the fuck you alluded to the transition from child to man, amateur to professional. When you first begin rapping there is an immense passion and you are eager to rap to whoever will listen but as you mature you become more jaded and showing off your skills turns from an opportunity to a chore. So I felt like the song was a way for Jonwayne to say I've grown from a child to a man in a very humorous way. Really love your reviews bro.
Hi Anthony, i'd like to know your opinion about these 2 albums: Core by Cosmetic (shoegaze - february 2017) and Bleed by All Hail Noir (weird rap - august 2015). I think they're pretty good even if flawed. Thanks for the great musical discoveries!
Real nibbas listen the album first, then watch the melon, comment "why this get a _ and MBDTF a 6?" and then go to sleep.
Hiii PoWeR bad copy and paste remix.
blegh/10
why I get a "blegh" and MBDTF a 6?
The whole review, Jonwayne's been staring at Fantanos head like "justify my seven".

im with my boys right now
go get me some cable
I mean dog is her birthday
This album has so many beautiful tracks. Keep coming back to it. City Lights, Afraid of Us, Human Condition, Paper...
"Look at these people.
Counting on me when i cant even count on myself.
Look at these homies,
So sure of me when im not even sure of myself.
I need to slow down...
I just need a good friend to show me how." So real and relatable especially if youve ever struggled with addiction.
Every time those lines repeated I felt them more, perfectly encapsulates the position that I and too many people I care about have been in. Never heard rap that spoke to me like this album did.
Is the 'good friend' a metaphor for hard drugs in that bar or something?
@Adam To me it means a sober, or more disciplined friend.
BRO BRO BRO! "Counting on me when i cant even count on myself." nothing more tre.
Still going through it but eventually I know I just have to do it.
"So real and relatable especially if youve ever struggled with addiction".
'afraid of us' is beautiful
Maxwell Young definitely the track I had on repeat the most
agreed!
This is an album that has really improved with age, IMO. I can't help but think of this as a nearly if not perfect record. From Jon's beats, his voice, to him opening about his addiction, advice he gives out in songs like Human Condition, the way all of these themes interweave throughout the record...it's just stellar.
glad to see this guy's doing ok after selling minecraft
I'm desperate for new music and I watch all your videos but I never check out anyone you review.
destubby You should, Anthony has introduced me to my favorite artists of all time
wait then what are you doing here noob?
David Smith I'm here for best teeth in the game
If you check any of them out, let it be this one.
you played yourself
didn't know the amazing athiest rapped
dcg3369 Nah, that's his brother stevie.
underrated
dcg3369 He released a rap song 😂😂😂
thinking the same thing hahaha
dcg3369 You're not alone, my friend.
His 2015 tracks, 'That's Ok', 'Wonka', 'Jump Shot', and '40 Winks' are also really good!
Jonwayne's appearance contradicts him, which is what I love about him. Smooth album, can see it becoming a cult classic
You gave this jonwayne album a 7 but lil boat got a 7? Unsubscribed
Ricky Rozay ye lil boat the goat it even rhymes.
Ricky Rozay you misspelled his name bro i think you meant lil GOAT
fuck your spoiler
can we get his subscribe count to drop below 444 pls
Lol yachty is terrible
Respect for Donuts in the background.
actually, fantano put it purpesely while reviewing Jonwayne's album. In the final track These Words Are Everything he gives props to Dilla, especially to the Donuts album
GOAT album. everyone needs to listen to this one
Still very true to this day. A beautiful piece of art. I love it. Gives me vibes back to 11th grade 2017. What a crazy crazy man. Such a genius

There haven't been any low scores yet this year :(
Happy thanksgiving, pilgrims. It's johnwayne at the first thanksgiving, pilgrims.
Theneedledrop got a pretty chill life
Wake up, listen to music, tape yourself speaking for 10 min, sack in youtube money
nigotheboss righttt
I don't know how I feel about the other 23 hours and 50 minutes he spends screaming the N-word into a memory foam pillow. But other than that, yeah he's doing pretty well for himself I'd say
Is anyone else besides me absolutely NUTS about JonWayne? I listened to all of his albums at least five times each and he never ceases to amaze me.
I am so glad that you exist sometimes.. this is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I know my biases often usurp my judgement. but it's too true that jonwayne lives in the ever-expanding space between what is good and righteous, and what is dope.
You're a dumbass! Jonwayne sucks and you should feel ashamed
Jonwayne is staring at you throughout this entire review.
experimental basement guitar music with twenty linked effects pedals, is the shit.
"Putting a hook in the track" IS the division line between, "underground", and "mainstream. He's clearly making a statement of where he wants his music to be.
clicked on this faster than usain bolt finished the 100m
Taking less than 9.5 seconds to see a thumbnail and proceed to click it isn't much of an achievement
it actually took me 9.5 seconds just to click. it's more of a personal achievement. i have never used a mouse in my life. this is the first youtube video i have ever watched.
@ll novawing ll
It's a hyperbole he used to express how excited he was to watch the video. Get that stick out of your ass.
@Ruler Of The Wasteland
Righto. I make a cheeky comment which he goes along with, and then you pipe up like an angry old man. Calm down love.
City lights connected with me so much. I love this album.
Paper
Out of sight
Ted Talk
Human condition
Very dope tracks.
Paper will be the song I play at my funeral
I clicked this video and listened to this album SOLELY bc the cover reminded me of Madvillainy, and I do NOT regret it.
City Lights lowkey best track
joeldadson blue green too
Damn, I want Fantano to have my children!😍😙😙
Daddythony AFtano
Tha Swami Not in my eyes!
world of cheese why do you want him to have them? Don't you want them? You're a horrible parent!
I want a woman made entirely of cheese to have my cheese son.
weren't you on a sargon vid talking about blowing some feminist's back out?

4 years later an I don’t care bout your opinion.

His sound would change and not be as raw and vulnerable. I just can't believe how slept on jonwayne is. Lyrically, as a producer, an artist. It baffles me
I like the fact that by the placement of the records, Jonwayne is directly looking at Dilla.
Oh melon how I wish I didn't stumble upon this review. Some of the albums you've scored this on par with is borderline offensive
i used to be a fan...
but now im an air conditioner
You've all been taking arrows to the knee, Now I'll take this L for even saying that.
When shit hit the fan is you still a fan?
Anime Avatar Shut up disgusting Weeabo
very good.
This album is so much better than I expected it to be
City Lights is my favorite on the album
This review is how I found out about this channel. Wish Jonwayne would return
He makes beats on his UA-cam channel. Great stuff
@@CombatClient I know I've been following along from the start and I'm a patreon. Just wish he'd release another album
I heard this nigga in Gta V
hich11111 what song?
KingLulzington black magik
City Lights is such a relaxing track, I absolutely love it
Review of Stones Throw signee's album, puts Donuts in the back. Genius.
Lmao I just thinking he should review this.
GTFO my head
I was not paying enough attention for that intro and I dropped my coffee.
🅱️oi this was at least a light 8. Have a lovely day
'City lights' was my favorite track off the album
"The shortcomings of the album, and jonwayne's shortcoming as a person; are (i think) intentional, and pretty obvious" That's what it's about bro.
But yeah you give mumble rap high scores so idk about you
Take an L
wow look its the cool chad who only listens to real hip hop
I feel that this album should be at least an 8, maybe because I relate to it so much
Thank you for your thoughts on this album
Love your insights man. Astute observations. You make great recommendations to artists in relationship to the listeners and how we're all interpreting it. I think artists would do well to take some of your advice.
There have been a lot of great ambient releases over the past year / 2 years that you've skipped on. I wish you reviewed more ambient releases.
could you point me towards a couple of ambient albums? I wanna get into it but I don't even know where to look.
dude im jealus of that j dilla record in the back
Logan W yeah donuts changed my life
AnonsCrossfader have you listened to nujabes
For sure, may he RIP....my favorites of his are "another reflection", "battlecry" and the remix of a Five Deez song called "Latitude".
AnonsCrossfader my fav is ariuan dance
It's not a rare record or anything. You can cop one online for ~20 bucks.
Yesssss he reviewed this he's so underrated didn't expected a review tbh.
Pls start reviewing bad projects again
Wait for his Dirty Projectors's new album review...
Anthony please help me find this album you had mentioned in one of your vinyl update videos ages ago. the cassette packaging was the brazilian flag and it was experimental/ambient music. ive gone through dozens of your vinyl update descriptions to see if any of the artist names sounded familiar and skimmed through the videos but i still cant find it :/ pls respond thx keep up the gr8 videos
His album straight up saved my life 🙏
Thanks for putting me on, my dude. Ted Talk was banger. Gotta relisten to this when I'm not just mindlessly trying whatever you review
Tfw this isn't American football
You finally talking about JW now?!
If you are ever in the mood to listen to something heavy, i would recommend two deathcore albums that just released this year, Flesh Coffin by Lorna Shore and/or Xenocide by Aversions Crown. Pretty sure your not the biggest deathcore fan, if at all, but these two albums are probably the highlights for deathcore this year imo.
I like how the the placement of the album cover with your face is like "HIPSTA NIGGA WHO DA FAQ IZ YEW?!?!"
Does anyone hear Paul White and Danny Brown's two new songs "Accelerator" and "Lion's Den"?
not right this minuet, no.
Torstein G it was interesting and fresh, but not my cup of tea
accelerator sounds like a fucking punk song. its wild
Such a great album. Love that he put Danny Watts a spot to shine over one of his beats
I think you hit the nail on the head. It seems to me that he is beholden to himself as an artist before anything else, and that can yield some mixed results in terms of the varying tones throughout his albums. I'm personally a fan of most of what he did on the album having followed his work, but I understand the perspective of seeing him as somewhat self involved when it comes to music.
GOD BLESS THIS INTRO
I really enjoyed the Album and the review. I would've personally given it like a solid 8 but that's just me.
Been addicted to this tape ever since I started listening to it. Thanks for the rec melonator
I still dont even know how you manage to be more entertaining than half the muscians that you review. Now thats talent.
wow yo ugave this a ten and you only gave kenny western's dark fantasy a 1???????
This Jon guy seems like he knows a thing or two about Making Beats
2016. I spent the last two years fucking up big dreams.
Glad you reviewed this otherwise Id have not heard about this artist. Really digging the album atm
since when does this channel have over 400k????..... love you antwon btw

Jonwayne - Rap Album Two ALBUM REVIEW
please review Wifisfuneral When Hell Falls
Wow, I'll be honest I've unsubscribed to your channel not because of your music taste but because I got sick of the memes on your channel. However, you really hit the nail over the head on this one, I totally agree with this album. I resubscribed after this review.
Can't forget " I got demons, in fact I eat withem, there the ones that tell me when my food needs more seasonin"
You should talk about the new Enterprise Earth when it comes out. I'd definitely be interested in your thoughts on some of the more extreme metal from a different side of the metal spectrum.
it's that you Jonwayne, is this me?
the first second of this video is pure gold
wow you reviewed it
It would be cool to hear your thoughts on the hippo campus debut coming out this Friday
the opening made me pee a little
omg I must laugh so hard. Hope he makes a Meme of it or so
the single is not a inability to communicate. its a outtake. considering that the same melody is used for a later track on the same album. Also there were 5 singles released for this album witch only 2 of the 5 were on the album. So the comments about the single make no sense.
No mention of the cassette series, jonwayne is retired, From the vaults part 1,2,3 and 4. wayneaic Mondays on sound cloud where he dropped a free song every week for about 3 months.
I think you should give this one another look, there's some stuff you missed.
Will you review the new Flume EP?
Please review Zeroh's Tinnitus. Zeroh did some amazing work on this album too and I think he deserves some spotlight. Please, please review Tinnitus.
Keen for the next Jonwayne Unplugged.
"Hills" is the song that got me...
Fanthony Antano, PLEASE, I know it's a bit old now, but could you review Red Pill's Instictive Drowning?
I commented that you should review Logic's Bobby Tarantino before realizing you did so you should review Jansport J's Pharaohs and Jidenna's The Chief.
that dirty projectors review coming pretty soon, right?
This dungeons ands dragon ass dude is a spitter
I didn't know eggs knew how to speak
do CHON's 2015 album, "Grow"!!!
Autumn night dope band to see live.
I thought the song live from the fuck you alluded to the transition from child to man, amateur to professional. When you first begin rapping there is an immense passion and you are eager to rap to whoever will listen but as you mature you become more jaded and showing off your skills turns from an opportunity to a chore.

Really love your reviews bro.
That garage show description is so on point lmao
Review JonWayne Unplugged
FrankThe Bunny his unplugged work is magical.
Bird up!
Hi Anthony, i'd like to know your opinion about these 2 albums: Core by Cosmetic (shoegaze - february 2017) and Bleed by All Hail Noir (weird rap - august 2015). I think they're pretty good even if flawed.
Thanks for the great musical discoveries!
Not sure if he's been on before but he would make a great guest for the podcast.
Great album being reviewed and great album in the background
the type of style i like are anything wutang clan, mobb deep, nas, guru, and jet life are my favorites if that helps
