Видеоклипы
Anything less than a 9 and yr a unionist slog
Anthony loves the King pass it on (he's also censoring the comments lmao)
No surrender
@@nizzla12then why did ye surrender ??
@@jamieoshea16816 counties still occupied
@@niallkelly2990 sinners in charger. Also today doesn’t mean you haven’t surrendered.
As someone from Belfast I’m delighted to see Fantano reviewing this.
Never thought it would ever reach his ears. Huge landmark moment for Irish rap
Huge moment for gaeilge, too
In fairness to him, he did review the first Rejjie Snow album years ago but yeah, Irish language rap on the Melon’s radar is wild.
Fkn right
Its actually mad seeing Kneecap reviewed by Fantano as an Irishman
Lol it sure is bie
WHY?! They’re the greatest! I’m Palestinian by the way 🇵🇸💚🇵🇸

The fact that album this didn't score a 32/1 should be a kneecappable offence
Got me good 😂
The singing in the first track is the lady from Lankum
That's mad, I'm just on a Lankum binge 😂
@@conorfranc fill your boots, they’re epic
@@conorfranc New live album out tomorrow!! Let's GO
False Lankum was one of my favourite albums last year, and I think overall Lankum's best
@@MadailinBurnhope aye. They have 4 fantastic albums. V happy they’re getting the recognition they deserve
Review CMAT next, Irish queen
The only Irish Queen
Well there's the original Queen Maeve like. @evp180
shes awful
@@evp180really? You really said that?
Forgot to shout out your boy Grian Chatten from Fontaines DC featuring!
every album has a weak point.
He truly does not care for Fontaines DC one bit
@@seanodonoghue1830 "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed" was his reaction... they are a band for children who unfortunately never heard anything good and for red-jeaned 55 year olds clutching a Tower Records tote bag roaring about how they're actually the new Clash.
@@murkartikWhile I can respect your opinion, they’re one of the better live acts that exist at the moment, and, while relatively monotonal in their music for their first couple of albums, have clearly shown progression with their new singles. Your cynicism seems exhausting, and you clearly are not the target market. Let people enjoy things!
@@murkartiklmao you literally just made me yawn, first ever internet comment that’s done that 😂 impressive
Have to say, I was NOT expecting this review in the first place, and I am pleasantly surprised by the rating!! If you’re ever ending up reviewing anything else of theirs, though, drop the “Gaelic” in “Irish Gaelic” or you will be getting the same complaint roughly 5 million times. (Don’t go for “Gaeilge,” you won’t be saying it right). You’re my new favourite yank!! GRMA
Tá fantano mo phoncán is fearr liom!
@@fettywapsmissingeye tá tú ag déanamh dearmad ar an copail 😔 cheapaim go bhfuil sé “is é Fantano an poncán is fearr liom as seo amach”, nach bhfuil…? Nó rud éicint mar sin
@@baintreachas poncán = a yank!
@@fettywapsmissingeye brón orm as an psychic damage from talking mar do mhúinteoir 😰 (agus mise useless leis an ngramadach i dteanga ar bith, i ndáiríre)
@@baintreachas 😂 tbf i don’t blame you. Irish teachers are shite! If it wasn’t for grinds outside of school i would’ve failed the JC
Kneecap and Bicep collab when
That would go crazy 😂
Bicep wont lower themselves to that level 🤧
They should also collab with Elbow
Before Spotify really understood where Kneecap fit within their algorithm, they kept trying to pair it with The Shins on playlists recommended to me.
Talking Heads, too 🍻
Wow, those Irish kids already dropped a whole project?!?!
They sound like they've matured a lot!
As someone from Belfast i never thought melon would be covering Kneecap😂
It’s just Irish, Anthony. Not Irish Gaelic.
Solid review tho, and great to see Kneecap here.
No Mary. Internationally it's known as Irish Gaelic. To differentiate it from Scottish, Welsh, and french gaelic
@@jasonh7740 lol. Why would you need to differentiate it if you call it Irish.
@@maryburke5423yeah you're right you don't need to. I was just saying that people do say that I just typed it a bit bluntly
@@jasonh7740 I only speak a bit of Irish Gaelic, my first language is English Germanic. I was also good at French Romance in school but I went to Brussels recently and found I've forgotten most of it.
Lol.
(Also Welsh isn't Gaelic. It's Brythonic, which is the other branch of Insular Celtic languages. As is Breton, which is what I assume you meant by "French Gaelic")
@@jasonh7740 Welsh people speak...Welsh. not Gaelic mate.
Something fun they do is mixing Irish and English in the same phrase to make rhymes come out better while preserving meaning. The drawback for international listeners is that no-one outside of Ireland will be able to understand what they're on about but I loved how they came out.
Literally 99% of Irish people can't understand them either. I speak some irish and struggle to. My mate is a gaeilgeoir, irish is his first language and he can't understand them either
That dialect is a harsh mistress
@shakezist my irish isn't amazing but I can get most of it tbh
Plenty of universities around the world offer courses and degrees in the Irish language. You'd be surprised by the number of people outside of Ireland who are able to speak Irish.
we adapt. reggae had the same problem 50 years ago. we will upskill in response.
I hear poor Mickey's still stittin' in his flat.
blame the doggies.
@@murkartik wee bastards left us nuhn but cans n rollies
I think anything "sexy" by Kneecap should be taken with a generous heap of irony lol they know they are nerds
This album's a 9 shut up Melon, I made my own opinion this time
you can’t do that! what the heck!
we could all be this brave...
Making your own opinion is not allowed
You can say just 'Irish' when talking about the language, no need to add 'Gaelic', that's the sport
I'm so glad you've reviewed this Anthony. Kneecap have been doing big things for 6 or 7 years on the Irish scene, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
As a person from Belfast was not expecting this review but excited to see this! Thanks Melon
Nobody asked
The balaclava is only used for long Irish winter nights
I heard about these guys on all things considered on NPR. It's pretty cool to see the Irish language be appreciated all around the world.
I’m delighted to see this. Been watching for years and never thought id see something like this. Fair play Fantano!
Antoine Ó Gaothairedathgréineó. You're going to have to remove the "tan" from your surname Anto Fano
Love that absolutely wild sample on I bhFiacha Linne, the original song (808 State - Cübik) is somehow even more bonkers as that disgusting loop is supported by guitar solos throughout the track, a true Acid House classic
It's also been used recently in Bob Vylan's track 'take that' which goes hard too! Didn't know the original until Fine Art came out and thought they were sampling Bob Vylan 😅
Glad you got on this, love from ireland
Still bizarre to me, that one of my childhood friends is famous now lol dj provai keep going lad 💪
I shattered my kneecap last year on June 15th. No joke. It sucked. Much better now. Life is a blessing, maybe i should check this record out. Only got now to do it.
Should've taken a trip to Belfast. The hospitals there are meant to be some of the best in the world for knee replacements and other knee surgeries, for morbid reasons
@@laylaruan I luckily live in a state with the best surgical care in the US. When I get to shattering the other one I’ll check out Belfast though. Mix it up a bit.
@@KochiAvenue You might even find the opportunity to get the other one smashed in Belfast lol, get the full experience
@@laylaruan altnagelvin is the best actually beal feirste has less kneecappings than doire
@@jeffbezos4776 Good info for my own adventures in knee trauma
phantom of the afters next
Are those pringle chips on the cover???
bro think he mach hommy
I'd say it's taytos
@@ozika2 they sayin that im top one, more or less the best 🗣
No.

Comment of the Year
Been waiting for a review ever since I saw the movie that premiered at Sundance earlier this year.
In all honesty you have to give your opinion on the actual Irish language itself in a hip hop rave style rap beat and sound, as an Irish man from Donegal I’m gonna be bias and say they blend the language so well into there genre.
Very very well indeed. If they were around when I was at school I’d have tried a lot harder in Irish class.
Better Way To Live was on repeat all winter, cannot wait to listen to the whole thing hell yeah
I watched the movie Kneecap at Sundance and it was awesome! It made me deep dive into their music. I highly recommend checking them out, pretty cool group!
Didn’t deep dive far enough so. Almost none of what happened on screen was real. Half of it happened to other people. And their rise in popularity literally stems from removing another popular act from the spotlight.
Inter Arma review please! I don't know if you're still interested but the album came out a few weeks ago and they're one of my faves, I would love to hear your take on it.
Ty for putting me on these guys! I gave them a listen and it just clicked naturally for me.
Anthony, we need a worst to best for Melvins!
My favourite album of this year hands down, love every second of it 👌👌
Shoutout the guy who asked him to review this on the Rhyme Island video
my kneecaps hurt after some fine art if you know what im sayin
im sorry
Delete
Sounds gassy
i cant tell if this is a zoomer meme or an american who doesnt know what the fuck theyre talking abt
These lads are pure gents and they deserve the world ❤
Just a correction: thhe movie is a Biopic not a Documentary!
I don't think it's happy you gave it only a 7/10, it looks angry
Please do a review when The Story So Far drops tomorrow
To All Trains review when?
still waiting for the RM album review🙏🏼
0:25 It’s not a documentary, it’s a auto-biopic with some exaggerated elements.
Tá sin 10/10. Is breá liom Kneecap
Well done, you can make a sentence in Irish like a 5 year old 😂
I love lamp 😂
Thank you for covering this album
Wow didn't expect Anto to review this one
Ní creidim seo FANTANO? KNEECAP? Mental
Drug dealing pagans is the best on the album! Manchan Magan is an Irish legend!
Parful also samples 'Dancing on Narrow Ground', which is a really popular documentary here about cross-community raving in the 90s easing divides in the younger generation.
Also I bhFiacha Linne samples 808 State - Cubik!
Please review, micah. By Micah Dailey-White please
When is he going to review the new Normani album?
This thing slapped
We need a Nxworries review
Maith an buachaill Anthony, maith an buachaill
@1:59 brilliant physical punchline lmao
Curious why you haven’t reviewed the new suicideboys album yet
Anthony, please review the new Ulcerate album “Cutting The Throat Of God” 🙏🏽
Pleaze review the new Julie Christmas album
We're gonna get Why Lawd? eventually, Melon...
I’ve only listened to Why Lawd once sofar, and while it’s good, I think Yes Lawd is the better album. More interesting and varied beats, more dynamic Paak. Could just be I need to give it another listen or two to get used to the new sound, but sofar I’m feeling like a 6 on it myself
@@Stu_Pickles Paak is at his most vulnerable (cuz of his recent divorce) in Why Lawd. While for you, Yes Lawd may have the better and interesting beats (I find them on par honestly), I find Why Lawd more emotional and impactful because of Paak's lyrics (Example of one of my favorites: "I guess I gotta face my fears, roll the windows down;
I hope the rain hide my tears") and performance, and Knxwledge's beats serves Paak's writing with a very stripped down/minimalistic sound.
Really enjoying this album. It is a lot of fun. Some clever and funny lyrics, with tonnes of energy. Reminds me a bit of early work from The Streets. Check it out!!
Anthony, check out the album "It's Inside You" by CANDY! It's filthy good (hard)core...
I love Candy, and only for your comment I wouldn't have known that they've a new release out. Thanks!!
@@TeaDrinker3000 🤘
We need the Ulcerate review
You should try out why lawd? A ran album by nxworries Anderson.paak and knxwledge
Nxworries is the project of paak and knxwledge
Elbow Dropped A New Mixtape 😀
PLEASE REVIEW FEAR IS AN ACRONYM BY FIXUP BOY
I live minutes from that mural and it was very weird to see it here lol
Please review the new RM album right place, wrong person🙏
Review Akai Solo
The film is not a documentary, it’s a bio pic that they are starring in themselves with Michael Fassbender. Listening to your review I thought you were gonna say a solid 8 . Also when you refer to Irish, you could just say Irish or just Gaeilge.
I couldn't agree more. I don't love this album but can't get enough of KNEECAP
Do neon pill
lemme see that lucki album review
The House of Pain was in effect to some degree
hardly
Oh my goooodddddd WHERE IS THE DILLOM ALBUM FANTANOOOO
If this was knee capping a butterfly, then you would have given it fine art or something idk this joke is overused.
They should go on tour with Bicep and Elbow.
What about FEET
I would have bet my life Fantano was going to shit on this project. Much respect for contextualizing something I struggle to share
If it was called…you know what guys. I don’t think I can do this anymore. Everyday, we make the same jokes, the same stupid recycled comments. What happened to our creativity? Are you comfortable with such mediocrity? I no longer think I am. I must leave this place for good. Farewell.
u should ruuueealy include a snippet of the songs u talk about
Great album review.
Up Da Cal
Hey fantano, can you review the new GLORB Track “Ocean’s Eleven” please? 🙏 IT GOES SO HARD
So when do we get a Ren review???????
Nxworries album review please
My kneecaps hurt after some fine art
Check out Bricknasty from Southern Ireland incredible talent
That’s fuckin wild so it is, never thought I’d see the day
