Anthony Fantano deems Kanye West’s “Vultures 1” album as “unreviewable trash.”
Anthony Fantano, known for his YouTube channel TheNeedleDrop, released his highly anticipated review of Kanye West’s “Vultures 1” on Monday (Feb. 12). Fantano didn’t mince words, expressing his strong disapproval for the project and his sentiments towards Kanye as an individual.
“This is completely unreviewable trash,” he asserts at the beginning of his critique. Fantano proceeds to criticize Ye’s recent anti-Semitic behavior and its impact on his music.
“Now, there are some people who will say, ‘Anthony, you’re being unfair here. Separate the art from the artist, come on,'” he continues. “You can’t separate this crap from the music because it’s in the music. Look at the lyrics. Read these words. They have meaning and they are saying things that are not good or normal. You would have to expect me to separate my brain from my skull if you think I’m gonna just ignore it.”
“There is so little to praise on this record,” he adds. “And if Kanye’s delusional fans are not hearing that this record is awful on its face, as they kinda listen to it by themselves, nothing I’m gonna say is gonna convince them.”
Fantano is known for delivering brutally honest opinions on albums. Last summer, his review of Gunna’s “A Gift & A Curse” album went viral when he rated the LP a one out of 10.
“I have no earthly idea why [Gunna] thinks the material on this record is going to be convincing to anybody who is that deeply invested in snitching and not snitching,” Fantano remarked in his YouTube review of the album. “This whole song and dance of ‘feel bad for me, I didn’t say anything. Oh my God, I’m the one bad things are happening to,’ is so pitiful it’s sickening.”
