Missy Elliot is underrated as hell. During her prime, if you look at her hits, its ashame that she is never put in the convo of Greatest Female rappers of all time.
thats because she was a great hitmaker, not an amazing lyricist. she was funny and witty and intelligent, but her rhymes werent as hard as lauryn hills' or even nickis' most of the time. so... despite that, I agree with your comment. UNDERRATED as FUCC, especially given that she co-wrote tons of songs by aaliyah and others.
She's number 2 in my books(that means she "da shit")lol.... only second to Lauryn Hill. Rhapsody could close in on that number 2 spot if her career keeps going in a positive direction, which I think it will.
Just saw Greta Van Fleet the other day in Toronto. I liked their album but wasn't expecting much other than a hokey Zeppelin tribute show. But honestly I was truly BLOWN away by their performance! I have not seen a band so invested in their instrumental performance in a long time all while having so much fun. They were kick ass! Although I do agree I would enjoy a future sound that strays away from such a direct Zeppelin influence, I really see this band having the ability to reinvigorate the rock and roll/guitar rock genre.
Melon, we hear you talk about music all of the time due to your channel being a music reviewing channel, but what of your favourite movies or tv shows? I'm sure your fans would be interested in knowing them
Not really, I wouldn't be interested in it, unless his knowledge about movies or tv shows is at the same level as his knowledge about music. If people only stick to what they know, the whole world will be a better place.
really TAD, mudhoney, melvins, and pixies are the definitive grunge bands. soundgarden were pioneers in the sound starting in like 1983, long before their commercial success
Henry VE Nah bruh shrek 3 is Youngest Head Nigga in Charge cause that shit is passable cause its the legends shrek and Kendrick. But its lowkey wack if it was a movie or album by different people. Shrek 3D is damn. Its one of the shortest/movies albums in the collection. It isnt as dense as tpab story wise but its definitely still really good and makes up for it with awrsome effects like 3d and bangers. Oh and 3D is an acronym for Kendricks THIRD album (3) And the tiltle which is DAMN (D) 3+D =Third (album) Damn
In a band trust is paramount. It's heartbreaking to see a group like Brockhampton go through losing a member but at the same time i think something this harrowing will bring them even closer together.
What I found amusing was that reading the review you'd have come off with the impression that they'd give it a ~4 but then they roll out a 7.1 - total disconnect between the rating and the justification.
I think if you recommended a book every once in awhile (like when you are struggling to explain the entire development of grunge rock in 11 seconds) it'd be neat George Lucas??
Slayer is by far the best band of the big four as far as thrash is concerned. They were the only band who consistently released great album after great album and never lost their original intensity. Even their slight nu-metal phase with Diabolus and GHUA still kicked ass and it wasn't all that different from their original style. Repentless gets a lot of unnecessary hate too for not having their original guitarist or bassist but in my opinion hearing new ideas from new musicians is kind of refreshing. In the context of the "big four", Metallica is the worst. They're not at all a bad band, but they stopped being thrash almost 30 years ago. If the black album was their last album, they would definitely be the best of the big four. But Everything post-black album is such a huge departure from their old sound that it almost disqualifies them from being considered thrash in the first place. Hardwired is awesome though
i would like to offer a counterpoint to the last tweet, the one about greta van fleet. were their success to inherently mean all rock bands would start to sound exactly like them, that would hurt rock music. but to see a band with an old sound make it big, that adds another kind of sound to the table, alongside all the other sounds you hear in contemporary rock music or contemporary acts of other genres that inspire the changing sound of rock. what greta van fleet's success could mean is that elements of older music could become common again, and coincide with the elements of rock music that are changing into something "new". they'll definitely be an influence to bands of the future if they continue to gain fans so rapidly, but for most of those bands, there's no way they'll be the only influence. there really is nothing new under the sun, only fresher, less common combinations of what we've already had. plus, there's a chance that as they go on, they'll have an idea of how to make it new and make it their own, or other artists and producers they'll work with will figure out a new idea to add to it. maybe what rock needs to get out of its rut is to borrow from the past in small doses, and then add to that by borrowing from what else is being offered on the table today. i don't want greta van fleet to sound so 20th century for their entire run, but i do want to see them branch out and try something new in the future, and see how they'll influence listeners of a wider variety of music. i can't be 100% sure any of this is exactly what will happen within the next several years, but i think there's a very good chance that this will ring through to an extent.
Ye really won me back over after listening to Yeezus and TLOP. I will always love Ye as a person, but musically I'm glad I can fully enjoy a Ye album again. I'm ready to see what's up with Kids See Ghosts.
Also, CRS is the greatest band that never was. Pharrell Williams, Lupe Fiasco and Kanye West plus a curated album based on only samples from Thom Yorke and Radiohead with his blessing!? That sounds like a banger to me.
"...and how quickly people are ready to just shut out of their lives anybody who doesn't 100% align with their point of view." Yeah, there's a word for people like that, they're called bigots. Let's all be cognizant of that and do our best to not join their ranks.
Hip-Hop isn't too obsessed with its legends or its past, Rock is. Now that Rock isn't as "relevant" in pop culture most of the kids starting a band right now are trying to sound like a certain band and/or play in a genre that no longer has buzz behind it. They aren't trying to revive the sound so much as relive it. I personally don't care if "Guitar music" doesn't crack the top 40 anymore, but it is sad to see that worldwide energy shift away and limit opportunities for widespread innovation.
I agree that Anthrax are massively under appreciated, especially as a live band. But Megadeth are not the worst of the big 4... they're just not, I own every single one of their albums and there are some weaker ones, but Peace Sells, Rust In Peace and Endgame are instant classics.
Megadeth's early albums were insane, Rust in Peace is the best metal album ever, AND they were able to make albums like United Abominations and Endgame in the 2000's. Anthrax does not have enough good albums in comparison.
Cornell was a better singer and songwriter than Staley. And outside of Soundgarden he had orher awesome projects such as Temple of the Dog and Audioslave with more great music
Megadeth is my favorite metal band and always will be, Dave Mustaine has had just as much as influence within those other bands alone as the bands themselves have. Megadeth may not have the most catchy (by metal terms) or intense songs like Metallica or Slayer, but it has the most talented musicians and write the most interesting and emotional music to me. It's still classic thrash at it's core, and Megadeth has experienced far less downslides and bad album curves unlike the other bands. Aside from the late 90's, they've always been great and have just been getting better in the past decade, despite musicians being constantly shuffled around. Anthrax are cool, but they have a lot of boring samey albums that sound like frat party punk instead of real metal. I think Exodus, Overkill, and Testament are all more deserving of being in the big 4 of trash.
So I’ve been subscribed to this channel for about... a week. And no, I didn’t hop on just because of the Pusha T/Drake beef, it was actually because of the Kendrick Lamar, white fan, n-word debacle. But anyway, I gotta say, this is one of my new favorite channels in a long time.
Brockhampton was right to kick out Ameer. He was good, but by no means the only talent (or even the best) in the group. Ppl really need to stop flipping shit about this.
I wish you would have gone about with more of a formatted response via the Greta Van Fleet stuff. I'm a big rock/blues guy through the 50's - present. Just wanted to hear more of an actual response. I understand why that wasn't the case though. Luv ya, melon.
While the Greta Van Fleet comment is partially true, I don't think you should just forget the past. I don't a problem with artists taking inspiration from the great bands of the past and incorporating it into their current music. Hell, the rock bands of the past did it all the time. Personally, new rock just doesn't resonate with me as much as old rock, because it all sounds the same. Back then, these artists were able to take things from their predecessors and make it their own while also showing respect for them by playing the licks and getting the sound they had with their own lyrics and their own style. If you ask me, that's the best way for rock to evolve. Learning from the past, and incorporating your creativity into it to make something that resonates with you and your fans. That's how it is with all music!!! Except for trap, which just shits on everything and everyone.
hip hop is in a unique place when it comes to respecting older artists bc back when it was growing a new artist needed established artists blessings to come up. almost every artist that wanted to be a part of hip hop in the 90s had to drop a really solid project (which is why the golden era had so many classic debuts). when new artists who are cut from a different cloth from established artists blow up nowadays, older artist feel the fabric of rap unraveling, and feel that as a genre, hip hop is losing its way. whether they're right or not is up for debate, all genres have to change with the times, but it is a reason it's such a massive and influential genre rn. (this isn't any type of statement on the quality of music today).
I'd like to think the future of rock is to a certain extent, stuff like Alabama Shakes, Fitz and the Tantrums, maybe Hiatus Kaiyote, Nathaniel Ratlife and the Night Sweats. These artists have a lot of soul and jazz and other elements...but good rock music builds off of many influences and styles.

Slayer > Anthrax > Megadeth > Metallica today (load/reload, stanger, garbage days, clip magnetic)

i would like to offer a counterpoint to the last tweet, the one about greta van fleet.

So I’ve been subscribed to this channel for about... a week. And no, I didn’t hop on just because of the Pusha T/Drake beef, it was actually because of the Kendrick Lamar, white fan, n-word debacle. But anyway, I gotta say, this is one of my new favorite channels in a long time.
Brockhampton was right to kick out Ameer. He was good, but by no means the only talent (or even the best) in the group. Ppl really need to stop flipping shit about this.
That Brockhampton tweet is some flames of truth
1. Metallica
2. Slayer
3. Megadeth
..
...
....
...4 anthrax... I guess if we gotta include them
Only reason Fantano likes Anthrax so much is because he's a punk-rock weeb.
Incorrect. Slayer > Metallica
This list is big false
Ben McCaulley sometimes I feel like that too
Metallica's ass
"thats a really weird way to spell the national" i fucking lost it at that lol
Joy division > New Order
Thank you. Though they had a much shorter run, Joy Division has had more influence and catchy/interesting tunes than New Order (fan of both, btw)
I wish you would have gone about with more of a formatted response via the Greta Van Fleet stuff. I'm a big rock/blues guy through the 50's - present. Just wanted to hear more of an actual response. I understand why that wasn't the case though. Luv ya, melon.
I'm looking for a Minecraft survival island seed, hmu
thumb boy 0172 XDD Try *Melon Seeds*
Napalm Death windbreaker? Now that’s fashion!
What happened to Let's Agree? Will it be continued on another platform? I really miss that show...
As always, great point concerning politics melon
Hipthony Hoptano
Great point about American pop manufacturing vs other countries pop manufacturing.
Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth.
Noah Leach anthrax is trash
Instant thumbs up for the napalm death jacket man!
I love Joy Division way more than New Order!
While the Greta Van Fleet comment is partially true, I don't think you should just forget the past. I don't a problem with artists taking inspiration from the great bands of the past and incorporating it into their current music. Hell, the rock bands of the past did it all the time. Personally, new rock just doesn't resonate with me as much as old rock, because it all sounds the same. Back then, these artists were able to take things from their predecessors and make it their own while also showing respect for them by playing the licks and getting the sound they had with their own lyrics and their own style. If you ask me, that's the best way for rock to evolve. Learning from the past, and incorporating your creativity into it to make something that resonates with you and your fans. That's how it is with all music!!!
Except for trap, which just shits on everything and everyone.
Do Melons grow on trees [serious] ?
hip hop is in a unique place when it comes to respecting older artists bc back when it was growing a new artist needed established artists blessings to come up. almost every artist that wanted to be a part of hip hop in the 90s had to drop a really solid project (which is why the golden era had so many classic debuts). when new artists who are cut from a different cloth from established artists blow up nowadays, older artist feel the fabric of rap unraveling, and feel that as a genre, hip hop is losing its way. whether they're right or not is up for debate, all genres have to change with the times, but it is a reason it's such a massive and influential genre rn.
(this isn't any type of statement on the quality of music today).
Let's Argue: Melon and A Dose of Buckley are better music reviewers than Todd in The Shadows and The Rap Critic.
not even an opinion, just a fact
I like Todd just as much.
Buckley is a garbage music critic
Buckley is a comedian not a critic, also he rated Rockstar by Post one of the worst songs of the year while Melon rated it as one of the best lol.
But I like all four of them...
I don't know about ye, but people slept on the BANGER beat that is Lift Yourself
Why you wear such a loud jacket. Wear quieter jacket next time
I'd like to think the future of rock is to a certain extent, stuff like Alabama Shakes, Fitz and the Tantrums, maybe Hiatus Kaiyote, Nathaniel Ratlife and the Night Sweats. These artists have a lot of soul and jazz and other elements...but good rock music builds off of many influences and styles.
