You said I made the accusation that he was a virgin who didn't understand hip hop? What did you correct?

Yes, him being white and not knowing hip hop is racial. I don't take white people's opinion on hip hop seriously.

I don't need to focus on his words because they mean nothing to me. I form my own opinion on what I hear which is why I shyt on this dude and anyone championing his review.

700k first week album projections. Unfortunately for you, reality exists and Drake's album is more acceptable than you think.

So you made the argument, with no proof, that he was a virgin who doesn't understand hip-hop. Then, when I showed that, ironically, he had a Black gf, you said it didn't prove anything. So you're ok making an argument with no evidence, but want to criticize the only evidence that has been offered in that regard. Ok. Like I said, you're free to speculate as much as you want on that man's sex life.

If you don't think white people's opinions on hip-hop seriously, that's fine, but then most of that 700k shouldn't count to you either, since it will be white people buying the most copies, just like for every hip-hop album since the mid-90s.

I'm not sure you understand the definition of an argument or how an argument works. No argument was made. By using the words "probably" and "most likely" I presented no premises that would lead to a definitive conclusion. What I offered was my opinion, much like what that cac offered. Why my post struck a nerve with you is anyone's guess.

Again, do you even know what irony is? What is ironic about him having a black girlfriend? You should just quit while you're ahead because you're going from being seen as stupid to being seen as an idiot. You still haven't "corrected" what I said about him being a virgin who understands hip hop. Oh wait, tracy chapman is his girlfriend. He's a hip hop head.:bryan:

But if 700k albums are being sold first week, then his music is being accepted on a large scale. Do you not understand what acceptable means? Your critical reasoning skills are horrible.

Angry cac alert :camby:




Don't take The Needle Drop's reviews in slight, he actually knows what the fukk he's talking about and does extensive research on the artist and their discog before each of his videos (which is more than I can say for some Coli dudes), + he's pretty accurate in his assessment of music. His ratings are harsh though and not reflective of what he says in the video, so people are always up in arms whenever he reviews albums and drops a 4/10 or some shyt :manny: Hip-Hop is really the only prominent genre left that's regional and takes a certain amount of exposure to understand. Some things dude says is against established hip-hop beliefs but that still don't annul the fact that he makes dope videos

What gets me though is people dapping his video one thread, but then will crucify him in the next when he gives Nas or Kendrick a shytty review. Makes me think YOU'RE the ones not getting p*ssy.

There are two main classes of argument- deductive, which deals in definite conclusions entailed by the premises, and inductive, which are probabilistic by nature, and which are measured by the reasonability of the evidence provided for them, even if not definite. Your statement was an inductive argument, just a bad one. It didn't "strike a nerve," I just responded as part of the discussion, and if anything, you seem like the one who's desperate to turn into that kind of situation in defense of Aubrey.

I already explained the irony, and that it has nothing to do with being a "hip-hop head." Step up your reading comprehension.

Yes... accepted by an audience that consists primarily of white people, whose opinions you just said you don't take seriously, despite using their numbers as consumers to support your argument. That's more irony for you.

Again, what I gave was an opinion. Opinions aren't based on facts; hence the words, "probably" or "most likely". No argument was made.

You don't know what irony is to have explained it. You don't know much about anything it seems.

I'm not the one who said his music isn't acceptable. You did. You have no problem with white people, so I'm showing you the numbers from the people you respect. So, unless there is a conditional acceptance that I don't know about, you are still showing you have no understanding of the words that you use.

Did you seriously listen to his shyt though?

Dude is a soul-less loser honestly.

Drake makes music to vibe to and to be experienced FOR ITSELF.

You either get it or you don't. Fantano doesn't. He'd rather box in the sound of music to make it sound like rap is supposed to be about boom-bap.

Dude is hating on 305 to my City? The Language? Worst Behavior?

fukk outta here. Fantano aint really about that life when it comes to LIVING LIFE.

He's tht type of cornball to throw on GKMC during a party and clear that bytch out.
lmao the feels
305 to my city is horrible btw lol

Anthony Fantano made it clear that he loves when rappers tend to be more "hood" or have an "edge" to them.

Dude buys into an image of someone he CLEARLY isn't.

I find that shyt funny.
