LIL DICKY - PROFESSIONAL RAPPER / 2015 / CMSN & David Burd Music / NOVELTY RAP THAT WISHES IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE
2/10
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
Lil Dicky is like Epic Rap Battles. It's rap for people who don't like rap.
Comeback64 Thats exactly what i was thinking when i was listening to him.
Comeback64 Why can't you enjoy both?
+Comeback64 Snoop Dogg had a fantastic rap on ERB is all I'm saying
Comeback64 But ERB is actually entertaining
No, Aesop Rock and Madvillain, for example, are hip-hop for people who don't like hip-hop.
2015 “Look out. Little Dicky has this amazing music in the back, just wait ‘till it drops...”
2019 “Earth... Possibly the worst track of this year. Worse than that Brain nonsense.”
I don't know why it had to get worse, I didn't even know it could... like good lord.
@YOG Nah, that shit complete garbage.
Earth is so fucking annoying
@@ebvstheworld1905 Earth isnt bad
Marcelery Stick yes, yes it is

Remember when saying that Lil Dicky sucks was a unpopular opinion.
It's funny because everyone seems like the show but hate his raps.
I dont like his raps but his freestyle are pretty good imo
Lol lil dickies raps are awesome what are y'all talking about
Christopher Pippin they’re mediocre
@@pienyx8017 they're well written but ultimately pointless. He's like a second tier Yngwie Malmsteen of rap.
@@jlim003 he has a show?
You must fuck with the war
Jared Krause Anthony fucks wit' Pangaea but not with Lil Dicky..
Jared Krause Lol that's my favorite track on the album right now.
Jared Krause Pillow Talking is the best fucking track of the album!
AvatarTwasCheesy This bitch don't even know 'bout Pangea!
I'm laughing my ass off listening to pillow talk right now. I don't understand how he is comparing this humor to Adam Sandler. Anthony just mad he isn't as funny.
everybody mad when the opinion guy has an opinion.
Tru but he presents himself as objective when its clear he went into this record with preconceived notions
@@dangshnizzle6929 he never presented himself as objective. He always had subjective standards. You know this is just his opinion, right? He says it in the description of every review he made
@@valentinzelenco7770 seems like that guy doesn't know how reviews work
@@jacobgober3875 well its people's opinion to dislike fantanos opinion
@@hexingon6088 But people are trying to prove his *OPINION* wrong. Lol.
I love how Lil Dicky spends half this album promising us he’s going to do better next time and prove himself to be a serious artist, only for his next album 8 years later to LITERALLY BE CALLED “PENITH”.
My biggest shock was realizing how long it’s been since this album came out.
Dicky kind of reminds me of Awkwafina, using hip-hop as nothing more than a stepping stone to get into the tv/movie business.
Not a real album. It’s a soundtrack to his show
@@BlooBoi23 you guys keep saying this like it's a good defense, but saying "but-but-but it doesn't count!" doesn't matter when his track record either way is ALL duds. like, you can put out only joke raps, that's cool, you can be a decent joke rapper, but when you get treated as a joke because your work doesn't even rise to a solid level for comedy, you can't be upset by it.
White college dude bros are punching the air right now.
FELCommentary REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
can confirm am white college bro and am punching air
Not even punching a wall, the air😂👏
wow he ethered lil dicky
kenny price R.I.P. Lil Dicky you probably won't be missed
kenny price 2/10 is just brutal IMO.. like damn, Dicky must have murdered his family or something.
He just ended lil dickys career
Matthew Bogoshian just this albums career lol... If the next one is any good it will revive his career
Larry Bolin Nah fam, that goes to ***** and MF MEME
Now that it’s been like 6 years and he still hasn’t dropped another album, it just goes to show how disingenuous this whole thing was. He never took it seriously. He just wanted to convince people that he deserved attention so he could fund a tv show based on him trying to be a rapper. It’s a genius idea. But it’s also a dick move. (Pun intended)
Or he’s pulling a Rakim
You're not wrong..
@@pan7374 I don't understand the reference, could you tell me bro?
@@jojo_n_dat7325 rakim waited five years to drop his second album. He’s also one of the GOATS. Like lil dicky 😏

Best thing about this album is the GZA - Liquid Swords Vinyl sitting in the back of this video of the review
Ok boomer
Living in the World Today is the best
Fucking love that album
Shlizzeretty Jones nah 4th chamber.
a 10/10 masterpiece next to a 2/10

finally someone who gets it
Anthony just mad he don't know bout pangea
LMAOOOO ‘this bitch don’t know about pangea’
Biased ass review. So when he says he's joking around you don't take that into consideration but when he says he wants to change the rap game you take it so seriously that you make half your review about it? It's obvious you just don't like Lil Dicky and where he's taking his music. It's something new that for some reason you aren't ready for and it has your panties in a bunch. Smh.
Because he was serious when he said that, idiot.
theneedledrop You do understand he started rap as a gateway to comedy right? It was only until he really realized he had a passion in hip-hop that shit really started getting serious with him. And serious doesn't always mean having "thoughtful" or "meaningful" bars throughout his music. It just means he knows rap is what he wants to do, he's found what style he wants to go with in his music, and he's manifesting that. Why does something "Changing the game" always have to be based around someone making it out of the struggle with deep meaning? Hasn't that been a topic in hip-hop for a while? Cause we all know Dicky didn't struggle, but that doesn't mean his debit card getting declined after trying to buy drinks isn't serious to him, it's just not serious to you. His shit is dope, original, funny, and i'm happy to say that I respect it.
theneedledrop you are so gay
Ross TRUTH.. this tool should not be allowed to review albums of artists he doesn't like
theneedledrop so you said he wasnt being serious, but THAT one line was SUPER serious? Are you joking? You said wakkavelli was game changing, I almost turned the video off when you said that after hearing how you talked about this album. The wakka album was game chaning, alot of piss poor lyrics, zero song structure and alot of yelling over good beats, but when lil dicky actually has good flow, and good song structure, its not good because hes not super serious yelling about gang banging, cocaine and drug selling?
And then he made Earth! Big yikes
That was an L ngl
i liked it
@@tworpish disgusting taste
@@tworpish liked it as a joke?
@@PotatoGawds you realize that song isn't to display lil dicky's skill as an artist, right? it's a shit post lol
Lil dicky is honestly wasted talent. A normal ass white guy, who can genuinely spit, and has versatile flow. His can write great lyrics, when he wants, and he has a shtick. He just is too corny, and he had no direction. Like at all. It’s kinda sad.
Gosh damn, what is this dislike ratio?? Do people actually find Lil Dicky compelling?
I found him appealing when I was in high school, now that I'm more mature I see his flaws.
*did
this is from 2015 nathan, people were absolutely on lil dickys nuts. You even might have been.
@@BoshBargnani I wasn’t into the dude either, but I get the sentiment, looking back in retrospect he isn’t a good comedian or rapper
@@naethavenir9422 It's not that he's not a good rapper, it's just that his comedic songs are terrible with unfunny punchlines. He has some bangers with impressive wordplay, he just doesn't incorporate those skills like he really should.
I respectfully disagree with your views on Lil Dicky, as well as Childish Gambino and even Hopsin to an extent. I think you take them too much at their face value. Like when you listen to A$AP Ferg you are able to sit back and enjoy it for what it is, and not necessarily break it down to super tiny pieces. Sometimes it's about how the record sounds, like Gambino, or that the corny joke was meant to be a corny joke like in the case of Lil Dicky, who in my opinion has great comedic timing if not straight LOL jokes. I just respect the authenticity of these dudes But different strokes for different folks, i guess. I come here for that too, since there are very few rap records we usually agree on anyway, haha.
Kamal Al-Dheeb I think the thing with A$AP Ferg vs. the other rappers you just mentioned is that A$AP Ferg doesn't really take himself that seriously and all the other rappers you just mentioned do.
Kamal Al-Dheeb Definitely would not class Gambino with the other two, he has a few jokey lines but mostly it's just wordplay.
Well put sir.
lol the dude with an assassins Creed picture expects to be take seriously on anything, especially music lol
Soviet Potato Yeah because the profile photo of a video game is such a great indicator of someone's taste in music. Lol FOH
6.9k likes, 6.9k dislikes. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

i hate it when comments like these don’t age well 😡
This was a weird review, album was definitely not as bad as you think, Lil Dicky can flat out rap man. His beats are almost always good, I thought this was a good album, not an all time great or anything, but pretty damn solid for his first album
I agree
i went to school with lil dicky. he is very egotistical and delusional.
Mike Tython copy paste?
Josh Callaway I agree it's a good starter album
Except, nothing was really happening here. I had the whole album and slowly removed every song. Just nothing that stuck to me.
Hahahaha this review is perfect and pretty much EXACTLY how I feel. I couldn't even make it through this album (shit is way too long). Dicky can flow, but his whole "hey I'm a regular, silly white guy here to change the game and pave the way because the game needs me!" schtick is cringe-worthy. I can't front though, I thought the track with Snoop was kinda cool as a novelty song. Not something I'd listen to regularly, but I enjoyed the video for it.
***** what is so cringe-worthy about it? white rappers are discriminated against in the rap game and the only time they are taking seriously when they rap about college or when they are being outrageous like Eminem. i think the theneedledrop is misrepresenting his statements. when lil dicky says he is "going to change the game" he is not talking about re defining the rap genre with his music. what he is saying by him being successful he will encourage other upper middle class kids to take risks and to following their dreams even if their dream is to become a raper. getting more people in the rap game, no matter their ethnicity, is changing the game. lil dicky was able to make a album because he was able to make a connecting with all sorts of people from different walks of life. lil dicky is destructing rap with his lyrics and encouraging people to shoot for the stars. in the song " the antagonist" he did not say he hates his funny raps. he said he loves his funny raps but sometimes he wants to spaz and in order for people to listen he has to draw them in with the funny shit first before they take his serious shit seriously. it seems like theneedledrop is judging the person and not really analyzing the lyrics. most of the features on the album are fans of his and some provided hooks and verses for free because they believe in what he is doing. I know everybody has different taste and i cant blame theneedledrop for not liking the album but i can object how he did the review because he sounded jaded. I hope both of you guys read my comment and have a great weekend
From the bit I heard, it just seems like he's forcing it too much.
he has to force it a little because if he does not people wont pay attention to the words he is saying
sometime you have to be over the top to get people to take look
***** also almost all rappers force it just a little bit
lil dicky was my nickname in high school!
I think that was the joke bruh...
Bruh..
Will Johnson I hate that I read this in Rolf's voice.
+WuNameGenerator lol
Dicky is still terrible after 4 years
He has raw talent but doesn't know how to use it that well atm
that’s an overstatement. he has some cool tracks
Nah he was alright 4 years ago, now he’s just trash
Aeni
When Lil' Dicky says he's trying to change the game, he means he's trying to appeal to an audience that until now, hasn't really had a voice in rap. Middle class suburban white guys. He constantly brings up that rap is always about the the urban lifestyle, drugs, jewels and flaunting cash. His music focuses more on the sort of mediocre, awkward, and insecure nature of middle class lifestyle and you're average male struggles with life and love. This is how he relates to his audience, what makes him unique, and why people like him. Plus a lot of his humor is self-depreciating which again is very different from the typical rap artist. Granted he talks himself up in his songs, but that's in reference to his rap skills, not his overall character, which he constantly jabs at. Honestly, most of his humor is funny in the "it's funny because it's true/realistic" sense, as well as poking fun at himself all the time. If he wants to stay relevant, he might have to change that up a little and find something new to joke about, but we'll see what he's got in store for the future.
+Richard Cano Dude that is fuckin bullshit. You seriously think rap didnt find an audience with Middle class suburban white guys before lil Dicky? Where do you think rappers gross most of their revenue? Fucking eminem? Just cause they came from the ghetto or the streets or whatever doesnt mean they dont have an audience in another societal class.
+SaucyMcSaucer
I didn't say they didn't find an audience. Any rapper can find an audience with anyone if the music's good. I said they couldn't relate to what they were rapping about. Most middle class white dudes can't relate to growing up in poor ghetto areas, knowing gang members, being a prison, or getting in fights. They can however relate to physical insecurity, bad luck with women, and just all around not being "cool" in the sense. No other rapper really does that. They all say "I'm a badass. Just try fucking with me." LD's message is, "I'm kind of a pussy. But that's ok. Most of us are pretty average like that."
Also, watch your language, homie.
Lol bruh I ain't reading that shit. Try explaining yourself in 300 characters or less
SaucyMcSaucer The basic gist of it is that my penis is really tiny and I haven't gotten an erection in 3 years. But you just gave me one.
SaucyMcSaucer So... what are you wearing?
This album has 5 stars on iTunes..
Frank Wave No one rates albums on iTunes except the plebs who bought it on day one and rated it 5 stars straight away, so that's pretty irrelevant.
Who still uses iTunes you pleb
I'm just saying only classic albums/masterpieces get 5 stars on iTunes. Not that I care about iTunes but that's a fact. So it's kinda funny that Anthony rated it a hard 1 when it's getting outstanding reception lol.
Frank Wave LOL only classic albums get 5 stars on iTunes? Almost every single damn album gets 5 stars on iTunes, cos people go there just to give albums they like 5 stars. The soundtrack for Pitch Perfect 2 currently has 5 stars. What exactly are you basing this off?
@henry you're mistaken. Very few albums get 5 stars. The pitch perfect soundtrack doesn't have 5 stars lol.. but what about other sources? Like I take metacritic pretty seriously for example. I know many people don't tho, but to me, metacritic is probably the most reliable source.
He said it; My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a game changer!
I don't like this review but this is his opinion bruh
And the like/dislike bar shows the viewer's opinion. What's your point?
@@lmao100 hes talking about the people who rant in the comments about how terrible Anthony is for not liking an album they like
Shut up
Angel Hernandub L
Lil Dicky is the Behind the Meme of rap
@@yellowdawg3179 no
Behind the meme was for awhile camp. This is just borderline self deprecating
That’s just cold
I feel like this review doesn't cover the album as much as it covers as Lil Dicky's goals and mission statement as a whole. Anthony is kind of just talking shit too Dicky. Anthony is focusing on single lines of his songs and ignoring the kids talent. I'm not sure, not a fan of this review. I usually agree with Anthony, but this one was just....
I was shocked to hear how shallow his review was. Rap game persona and lyrics are all connected to the art of music. Fantano seemed to really have a personal agenda. Disrespectful to rap WHAT!?? Has he heard him on Sway's radio show or the track he did of russel westbrook? I always thought Rap should'nt be tied to being hard, fukin' bitches and showing off. Rap is music art should connect to every facet of life. Young DICK is the real deal. Love his skill too, I'm sure Snoop and T-pain feel this way toooooo.
jvadoptante idk fantano seems to be the only one seriously hating on this album. Everyone else, comedy and rap fans seem to AT LEAST enjoy it. Whether its a game changer or not... enjoyable album. Ill be listening for some time.(and russell westbrook on a farm is literally the sun it's so hot)
Tint
He says, multiple times, that he has a decent flow, puts great effort into tracks, and generally that he has a bit of potential. He was covering entire songs and the concepts of them and why he did or did not like them. Plus, it doesn't help that this album's intentions are painfully obvious: Dicky gets to unload all of his "trash" material (which he thinks is trash, in his own opinion) and now he can show us just how INCREDIBLE he is.
Eminem responded to criticism of Relapse on Recovery, and it was okay for him to call Relapse trash because it's hindsight. However, if Eminem spent a good portion of Relapse going "I hate this album, wait for my next one!" then I'd be pissed.
TheOneAndOnlyNAB Lil dicky doesn't say he hates professional rapper at all? He says that this is the "absolute best" he could've made the album, you're letting Fantano's strawman argument sink in lol. Lil dicky doesn't say his album is bad he says he knows if he goes for a 100% serious rapper identity he'd have to be fake because that's not who he is. He's putting the actual art back into hip hop and its great, I'm tired of all the clone rappers talking about the same shit every song.
Ricci Schaeffer If Lil Dicky says he hates comedy/joke rappers while having an album littered with comedy/joke rap, then he's basically saying he hates a large portion of his own album.
As for that last statement, I hope you're joking. If you think this guy is the one putting back art into Hip-Hop, then I guess you've been missing out some quality work.
I feel like you perfectly worded my frustrations with LD and his already-devoted following. He can rap, there's no doubt about it, but there's something disingenuous behind his approach that really puts me off.
I think the review was funnier than the album.
I laughed many times on this review, Lil Dicky dickriders need to calm down and respect others' opinions. One of my favorite reviews by Anthony.
+Connor Menz I don't know if it's as good as the Kid Cudi review though 🤔
I unironically really like the single "Professional Rapper" and think both Dicky and Snoop Dogg are really good in their performances!
Yeah same
It's a good song. Don't take an internet critic too seriously.
I don't like this idea of "people who don't like rap like lil Dicky"
I respect what he's doing, I see that alot of people, like Anthony, don't respect him, but I do. I think he's got something, and I want to hear more from the guy. I like you Anthony but I respectfully disagree with this one. Game changer he may not be, but Dicky definitely has a future, and he's just as legitimate to the rap game as any serious rapper is.
+AndraBeats Holy shit this comment section has so much white knighting. Lil Dicky isn't a good rapper, that's why he gets dissed. There is a reason people diss Hoodie Allen, G-Eazy and Lil Dicky, but not Eminem, Logic, Aseop Rock, and E-LP. Don't even compare Kendrick to this clown.
Mac Miller, Eminem, Action Bronson, and hell even Macklemore are decent white rappers. Race has no opinion in this Lil Dicky is garbage, stop pulling the race card. The saddest part is when people's favorite rapper gets picked on they resort to putting down another rapper just because that one has a bigger fan base.
But you can keep on using excuses why people don't like him, it's desperate but go right ahead.
***** haha oh god
***** Jesus Christ shut up. White guilt even on this? This 12 minute review had NOTHING to do with white guilt, and it doesn't matter at all. I don't like Dicky because he has zero subject matter and yet he wants to be a serious rapper. The only person bringing race into this at all is you, you are technically the most racist person on this video
***** Did I say anything about the struggle? You went off about ONE line I said about SUBJECT MATTER. I said nothing about the hood at all. Earl Sweatshirt doesn't rap about the hood and hes an amazing rapper, same with Ab-Soul for the most part, and plenty of others, while one could argue lil wayne does and he's horrible. If dicky is the single person on earth who has had NOTHING happen to him ever, than he could rap about how that makes him feel or something. I don't even hate lil dicky I think he's got a great flow and he's really funny, but just because people don't like him, that doesn't mean you should blame it on him being white or upper-middle class it's just plain ignorant.
You got "The Antagonist" wrong. He's saying he likes his music however he wants to try and make the type of music he listens too as well.
He even fucking says "And I love my funny stuff, I hope it's not confusing"
I was thinking the same thing, and he knows he couldn't make that type of music without coming off as a poser hence "sometimes you gotta tell your heart no"
The dude can't understand him so instead of looking up the lyrics he just went "Eh I hate it." Tech Nine is extremely hard to understand but after reading his lyrics I realize he is one clever dude and I give him props. I still don't listen to all his music but the ones I do I love. Sometimes you just have to realize you cant keep up.
Lil dicky is garbage

if this was made by kanye west and kid cudi and it would have been called kids see ghosts and it would have had the same track list and album cover as kids see ghosts you would have given it a 10.
Probably the worst comment ever
He's definitely not calling out Lil' Dicky on being a bad rapper (4:40), he's calling him out for not writing a good album (5:01)
DID HE JUST SAY MBDTF WAS A GAME CHANGING ALBUM!?!?
MY BODY WASN'T READY FOR THIS MOMENT
"disrespectful to hip-hop"?! yo, are you fucking kidding me? since when did you have the whole rap game figured out? when were you given the all-knowing authority to delegate what rap albums "respect" hip-hop? that's a bold ass statement to make considering UA-cam music critics don't mean shit in the actual music industry. you acknowledge that he tries to joke in almost all of his songs yet took this entire review way too seriously
+nyc.daniel exactly
+Daniel Otorongo This still didn't deserve a 2 though. There are niggas that say they hate rap, but do it for money, or have never actually experienced anything they rap about but Anthony rates there albums 5's 6's or 7's.

Pillow talk and Truman were my favorite tracks. I guess i'm just an immature little bitch. (or i do love artists like Kendrick but sometimes the super serious concepts tire me out and i felt like listening to some goofy story telling and a normal nerdy Jews point of view)
Pillow talk is my shit. And I think so many people like that track because we relate to it. Im not ever going to be out fucking several strippers at once, throwing money in the air while pouring liquor on their ass. I have had several awkward conversations with one girl in bed where I just want to kill her by the end.

You were right Anthony. I haven’t returned to this album once since I first listened to it. And for LD to be that fucking overzealous and arrogant coming into a culture that isn’t his, making all these claims about how great he is and then putting this album out; it is pretty stupid. And I agree, it is fairly disrespectful to the artform.
You realize everything that lil dicky says and does is a joke
@@gztvyt So you're calling him a joke? I agree.
@@zoda5898 not what I meant. He does everything in a comedic tone.
@@zoda5898 even if he was a joke I think it’s a pretty funny joke tbh
"Coming into a culture that isnt his" ?? Ummmm, whose is it?
In retrospect Dicky and his "slacker with aspirations to be one of the greats" has aged about as well as the majority of his fans who were spoken to by that ethos. He never seriously put himself out there, he washed everything he made in enough coats of irony and self-deprication that he wouldn't be upset by it when people came down harshly on it, and he ultimately dropped rap as another thing which he was able to temporarily get some praise from people with little persepctive or interest in but which he couldn't actually make waves in without exposing too much of his own personal weakness and his ego to.
Kendrick bleeds for his art, he tells us too much. Logic, for as much as the quality may vary, takes it entirely too personally when his music gets bad reviews because you can tell he really cares.
Dicky represents the most valueless of art. It's a shitpost. It's "I was only pretending". It's low-effort and heartless because it served to stroke the ego of the creator while also sheltering it. It's the sound of a guy who smokes too much weed and talks about how good of a writer he could be if he ever sat down to actually write out his ideas. It's every white guy from the suburbs you knew in college who came from a family with more money than yours could have ever dreamed of.
Warped Tour rap.
I understand where you opinion comes from, and I agree with over all gist of your argument, but the light 2 rating kind of shocked me.
A rating that low would strike me as something I would save for legit garbage. Like the kind of garbage that is so bad you spend an entire video saying "no" over and over again just to get across how bad it is.
leading up to the end of this video I was getting ready for you to give this album a strong 4 or a light 5. It's music, legible music. He is somewhat clever with a really tight flow. On top of that you can pick 3 songs out of this lengthy album and hold them up to the light and see that he isnt an absolute waste of air.
I dont know man, I just kinda feel you were a little TOO hard on this one Mr. Fantano.
Didn’t even think lol Dicky had 7 thousand people who liked his music😂
and now Dave is one of the highest rated TV shows in recent history so yea you're definitely right
@@robbygray1494 damn you lil dicky bootlickers are cringe
@@DaedalusMinion saying facts is makes you a bootlicker?
Robby Gray no they like his shows. Nobody likes lil Dicky's music
Anyone else here after Penith?
The problem is:
Music nerds and hip hop fans take the genre too seriously.
If you rap about how much of a killer you are, to the fans you're like contractually obligated to go and murder a bitch or a dude.
Yeah, it's preposterous to claim he wants to change "the game", but why are you taking that statement so seriously? WHY? His rap name is fucking LITTLE DICKY. Jeez.
I like your interviews and even find myself agreeing with some of your points, but one thing that I have observed after watching several of your reviews is that you seem to have a preconceived notion of what rap should be, and anything that doesn't fall into that doesn't get a positive note from you. It makes you come off slightly pretentious as well. Maybe that's just a surface-level observation, I don't know. Worth thinking about.
interviews should say reviews, my bad
+Danny you said it, bro.
Danny literally watch any of his experimental rap reviews dumb fuck
Melt LOL that set you off didn't it
He just gave lil pump a 7. I think he likes any style of anything if it's done well. I think he'll like anything, if he likes it.
lil dicky is a joke.
+Dusty OldBones fuck dicky
+Dusty OldBones His shit.
+Dusty OldBones Wackest because of his shitty fans
He can spit flames. It's better than rappers who just talk about fucking bitches and getting money all the time. It's new and a lot of people like it.
This is the most positive 2/10 I’ve ever seen
I liked this album, but this review was honest and respectfully coherent. Good work man.
The music equivalent of watching an Amy Schumer special
What’s with all these dislikes? This album sucks
SuperSuuSGamr fax
Nah it's good man
Not a 2 at all. Some songs on it are actually good and others are just jokes. I think a 4 is fair.
@@Skadongle the thing is I think it’s how much he enjoyed it
Like he enjoyed the lil pump album so it got a 7
But there’s so many massive faults in the album it drowns out the positives
Hahahahahahahaha it's kinda funny how offended Anthony is by this album
Queen City Films yeah right? He's usually pretty level headed but he hated this thing. Also Lil Dicky is skillful enough for at LEAST a 4 or 5. Oh well, I think Dickys cool.
Jewlz Cartagena no he isn’t
I mean, this album is so offensively horrible, so it makes sense.
its kinda funny how offended lil dicky fans were by this review
lil dicky was fuckin ethered, daaaamn! now, let's just wait for lil dicky's diss track
Jawaun Monger right fuckin here
+DihStyle69 no ones ever dissed him because no one gives a shit about him. hes just a wierd internet bald guy with a bull shit opinion that, frankly, i feel like is being forced upon me
B Reed wtf
B Reed lil dicky is that you?
+B Reed haha wha
This review has aged like fine wine. The legitimate potential Lil Dickey showed on this album was never built upon or followed up with something better. The only music-related things he’s released since this album are the painfully unfunny and cringe I’m Brain EP and some god awful singles like Earth and Freaky Friday.
but do you fuck with the war?
I just found out that this album is 90 minutes long, because I don't think I've ever been able to make it past the halfway point
A few of my friends were obsessed with Pillow Talking about a month ago and it was honestly annoying since they would always play it. A track like that shouldn't be 10 minutes long. Dicky can do comedy rap but he shouldn't act like he's the first to do his thing.
Brogan lol same. My roommates play that shit all the time and it's made me hate it so much. The beat is super annoying and it's waaaaaay too long
What's another funny song? Like pillow talk
Brogan literally name one song like pillow talk
I'm black, and I live for amazing artists. I agree this album is is too much comedy and he hates it too I'm sure. But hear this. People sleep on dicky hardcore, but, his lyrical dexterity is unshakable. And the silly songs I think is a business play to introduce himself in the game. Think about Eminem, from infinite, then all shady comedy to break into the game then real again to let the word be heard. It's good business acumen. Listen to Russel Westbrook on a farm, antagonist, then mul the messege over thinking big picture. I promise you are sleeping on dicky. He's hyper aware. Give it another shot I promise you won't be disappointed. Stay woke y'all.
I agree that Lil Dicky can rap, but Eminem is a funny rapper not a guy doing a character. Lil Dicky is a stupid hip hop joke first off and the comedy is pretty low bar. No one is arguing that he can rap. The argument is that it's disrespectful to hip hop. For instance on Freaky Friday he raps about how if he could be black for a day he would marvel at his much bigger his dick is and say the n word and black hip hop fans still support him.
Escapade Beats you obviously take music too seriously. Freaky Friday is all tongue-in-cheek.
yeah about that.
hahahahahahaha. congratulations on being black. Hope you're still "woke"
5 years later i still don't understand the amount of dislikes
Guys, Anthony is allowed to not enjoy something. And just because you like it, doesn't mean Anthony is calling you a tasteless moron. I have friends that like some music that I think is miserable to listen to, and yet we're still friends. Let Anthony be your friend.
On that note, I think Pillow Talking is brilliant. Taking this ridiculous style of inflection that's trending in some modern rap and putting it over an awkward Og Maco-type minimalist beat, and applying it to an absurd back-and-forth pedestrian philosophical conversation for 10 minutes with dopey interjections from his "Brain" is just plain funny to me.
Lil Dicky is clever. So clever he's made the most popular UA-cam music critic angry. I love it.
LIQUID SWORDS ON VINYL???? YOU ARE THE BEST
Frat rap listeners are so mad jeeez like just kick back, smoke a grav bong, and put on your G-eazy/Jordan Belfort playlist, stop whining.
all youre reviews are on point. like this one started out u giving him his cred. for trying but i completely agree with youre opinion on dicky and it couldnt have been said better.

Came to the comments just to see if someone had something to say about that song. Thanks bro 😁
I love Anthony's honesty but he completely missed the mark for me on this one I love Dicky and can't wait to see what more is brought to the table
Mike Tython I went to school with him he was always egotistical and full of himself
one of the few times I've strongly agreed with a review by Anthony
I usually agree with Anthony but he's wrong on this one. Lil Dicky got that fire!

Still better than Kodak’s “Professional Raper”
did you mean a musical genre? i don't think Kodak would make a song about being a professional felon.
@@lewisk3847 nope that's the joke mate
@@shadybeashooketh1911
no, i got it. Kodak wouldn't make a song a out being a professional felon (a.k.a. a "raper")
@@lewisk3847 so then why did you bother pointing it out
@@shadybeashooketh1911
why not? if they meant "rapping," it most likely needs a fix to it, unless the person is an actual rapist or brags about being a professional one
So Long Live ASAP 'changed the game' despite having a totally generic rap sound yet when Lil Dicky is trying to do something different with the medium of hip-hop, he's being preposterous?
Don't get me wrong I don't think Professional Rapper is going to change the game by itself, but the dude is trying to do something a bit different. While he may not 'change the game' he definitely will influence it by the time he's become bigger IMO.
Jurgen He said Live Love ASAP changed the game.
It also did, If you had even listened to the video or the Live Love mixtape you would know how it changed the game.
John Smith I have listened to the mixtape. It's got some great production and I love Rocky, don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to hate on ASAP here I'm just saying the mixtape didn't feel all that 'monumental' or 'ground-breaking' to me.
Care to explain your point of view..?
Jurgen He said LiveLoveA$AP, not LongLiveA$AP. They're 2 different projects. LiveLove was the first big cloudrap project. Clams Casino's production on this brought cloudrap to the mainstream. It was definitely a game changer.
Jurgen What is Dicky doing that's different? Openly challenging the intelligence of listeners by telling them that the music they're listening to right now is trash, but that he'll really surprise them the next time?
Jurgen have you ever stopped to think that
if an album sounds generic, it might be because its highly influential and shitloads of people modeled their sounds after it?
"I think its kinda disrespectful to Hip-Hop in general..." -Antony Dickatano
Well, time to retire Lil Dicky.
6 years since he did anything significant in music. Looks like he took the advice...
Waiting on melons review of penith
I’m feeling like it’ll be getting a not good or at best 1/10 if Melon is feeling generous
Wait just a minute. He said MBDTF was a "game changing" album and yet gave it a 6/10 in his original review...interesting.
Justin Crawford You don't have to like an album to recognize it was influential.
Peter Cahill Yeah that makes sense but you figured if Fantano were going to admit that it was THAT influential, it would've gotten a slightly higher score.
Justin Crawford not necessarily. you can respect that an album was game-changing without loving it or thinking the thing is The Best Thing Ever
Justin Crawford Well, you can't successfully predict how influential an album will get when it just came out.
This just shows his tendency to sleep on greatness. As with LD.
2/10?
ANTHONY REKTANO
Ayy liquid swords, my favorite hip hop album of all time
yu white as hell
"Theres a lot of good stuff on this record... There is nothing good on this record!"
if there wasn't anything good on it he would've given it a 0 lol
I love the way Lil Dicky sounds and his flow is fantastic but I do agree with Anthony and how he Dicky goes about making his music and the way he presents himself.
Pillow talk is genius.this dude don't know shit
It's funny you say that, because it's obvious you don't know anything about music.
And u do?
And it it went number one for a reason.lmao
i dunno man, pillow talk had me dying
dont call brain names
Love your channel, but this was arguable your worst review
Found the white man
more white people than on a death grips video
What the fuck's up with the blatant racism?
ThePacemaker45 isn't kind of ironic that he is white
ThePacemaker45 "I like you but because you don't regurgitate my thoughts in this review so it's objective the worst thing ever"
With the way he was talking about the album throughout the vid it sounds like he wouldve said its a light 4 not a 2 lol
Sothany Savagetano. I love this guy! definitely subscribing.
For a person that reviews albums... You are not very good at it
"I don't agree with his opinions so that makes him a bad reviewer."
Does agree with his opinions, still doesn't think he is very good
harry tucker Why so?

antony what you think is better album this or tom green's MC face???\
Anthony you're on the wrong side of history, Lil Dicky has important things to say nowadays like how the earth is cool and that pollution is bad and stuff.
