He got there first at the minimum acceptable standard and kept doing it consistently. It's not any deeper than that. He was around when that was enough.

It was a very convenient time for his personality to mature so much when he was already like 30

Is it the subject matter or the way it was presented?

I'd argue it was the presentation and tacky writing choices, not the subject matter

Sort of like when people say an actor is giving a CW level acting performance

There's literally not a single Fantano fan anywhere in this thread but sure go off

Excerpts from his response in Variety
'
with Fantano saying the tracks “seem like bad Halloween costumes, musically-speaking”; describing it as “stale, 2000s pop-rock vibes” that are “the sort of songs you only remember for their association with various teen flicks throughout the ‘90s and 2000s”; accusing the album of exhibiting “main-character syndrome”; and ultimately giving it a 1 out of 10 grade.

“We’re talking about a two-year-old review here where I’ve remained mostly silent on the reception of the review, despite the fact that Halsey and her fans, for the duration of that time, have pushed the narrative that I disliked the album — or said in my assessment of the album that there was a ‘self-centeredness’ about it — because she was sick,” he offers to Variety. “That I specifically attacked this album and tore it apart because there’s some cartoonishly evil characteristic about me that somehow just singled this album out because of who she is or the illness that she suffered during that time in her life that inspired the record, which couldn’t be further from the truth.”

According to Fantano, his assessment of “The Great Impersonator” had nothing to do with the real-life pain and suffering Halsey endured, but “everything to do with how bad I feel her various takes on inspirations that she tries to pull from and impersonate are, and how weak the songwriting is.”

The follow-up to a major story never ever makes the same noise as the initial story, but let it be known that this annoying cracker was 100% not doing this because she is a women or because he wanted to make fun of a sick person
I don't care about either person involved, but I care about the truth & great music (L Halsey's music & entitled to being acknowledged as a great musician despite it not being the case)

This story heavily illustrated how easy it is to construct a false narrative and run with it. I'd care a little bit more if it was someone like Justin Hunte or Professor Skye or Myke C-Town or something.

I don't have to prove my track record to OP. I have been the most relevant and impactful KTT poster of my - and any- generation for over 10 years now. You can't really debate that. There's no thread starter bigger than me who's had more impact than me for as long as I have, consistently. And if I die tomorrow, nobody's going to outdo that run.

the difference is you're not paying your bills from KTT bro

Speak for yourself. I cash cheques from S fortnightly

you get paid in negative p****

I feel like this is simply not true in the ways he had talked about certain albums in 2015/2016

I even hated him back in 2011 for s***ting on House of Balloons. He wouldn’t really talk about the music and just kept bringing up that if felt icky or sexist. This isn’t really something a right wing mind would care about in my experience.

Ok ill post itt

not clicking those my laptop would get so many popups

This Drake fan posted a Trap Lore Ross video a week ago btw

The way fantano dismisses artists like youngboy should tell any normal person what timing he's really on beyond his public statements

thread isnt protecting this black queen enough

I generally don't like the trend of artists putting critics on blast on social media (complicated topic of course) but it does seem like Fantano has lost it lately lol. Guy is such a d***head at this point

Early Fantano thumbnails are f***ing hilarious bro

Eh I mean Ak is leagues worse than Fantano as a person just for Trump support alone (I will say tho that he's far funnier than Fantano and would be an easier watch lol)
