Love how he recognizes Tyler, who is only a few years older, as a major influence. Almost weird to think of Tyler as not being a "newer" artist, but what Amine says really resonates
I think it’s due to Tyler rebranding himself with his latest albums and gaining a huge following from it. It’s crazy to think Tyler was in the industry for 10 years now.
@WASHWA the comment talks about anime affairs because people joke about exchanging amine with anime(see the top comment). This is the kind of joke that doesn't feel funny unless you instantly get it lol.
ngl anthony’s fanbase is getting kinda annoying with memes when u go to the comments and its everybody reusing the same meme formats trying to get likes and 0 discussion about the actual good content fantano makes
That shits mad annoying I’m tryna see what people are talking about dealing with the video and like it’s a whole fucking interview and all I see are annoying ass jokes and memes
Something about Amine feels like it's one of your own boys who made it. Dude just seems so genuine and into what he's doing musically. It's easy to root for him.
One of my favorite artists here providing great content. Also From my home town 503. Aminé is a true artist. Great video. Can’t wait to hear your reviews Fantano man, on man on the moon 3 the chosen. One of my other favorite artist Kid Cudi. Just dropped.
Yeah, I was surprised too but I guess it's not considered a... idk what the proper term they use-- either album or record? He did mention dr.whoever when talking about sharing personal stuff with his fans tho
Mhm I'm not very familiar with how the music industry works but I've heard both terms and kinda understand there's a distinction there What exactly is the difference between a mixtape and an album? And what about EPs and LPs...? Sorry for the questions, I probably should just Google this stuff but I always forget or am too lazy lol
@@mylightobscures Traditionally, LP means Long Play and is a full length album. EP means Extended Play and is a half length album. EP is extended as its longer than a single but shorter than an LP. A mixtape traditionally is a self-produced or independently released project that an artist gives out for publicity or to avoid copyright infringement. Because of streaming, however, all the lines between these three are blurred and they are basically just marketing terms at this point. EPs and mixtapes nowadays basically refer to smaller or less commercial projects from artists whereas an LP is a more significant work. Many artists use LP to show that their album is conceptual or focused whereas they use EP or mixtape to release batches of unconnected songs.
Lmao I just listened to Limbo recently and loved it, perfect timing, Amine seems like such a chill dude as well, also loved his way of going about the process “it’s not a mixtape, it’s an album” Ya hear that Migos??
I always forget that Anthony can be so professional just because of his audience and the way he interacts them. I know his reviews are always well written and everything but it’s just crazy to see the contrast
Not even my style of music but I saw dude live at a free open-air concert in Pittsburgh opening for Designer in 2018 and he fucking killed it. Stole the show with the energy and good vibes meanwhile Designer came out, performed panda and sprayed his half-drank water bottles all over the mosh pit 💀🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I know what everyone’s thinking, “Chris, the best album this year was Melon’s favorite record ‘The Big Day’ by chance the rapper.” And your right you got me right there
I dunno, to me the top 3 would be 3- NAV - emergency tsunami 2- NAV - Bad habits 1- NAV - brown boy I know it's a controversial pick due to Chance dropping big day but NAV has the best raps to me6
I remember seeing Amine open for Saint JHN in a tiny venue in Sacramento, CA back in 2015. His persona was very different then, he was smiling a LOT, whereas now his default look is the dead eyes thing. Based on this interview it seems like the former is closer to his real personality
I can’t believe Anthony was actually able to interview anime. Interviewing an entire genre is not easy. I’m proud of you melon
LMAOOO

Amine's one of the only artists I'm not worried whether or not their new release will be solid. Always a consistent artist

It’s an interview from two different places
@@Charlie-cv4un WOW, REALLY?
@@Charlie-cv4un I didn’t know that
@Charlie ohhh that makes sense
The reason Anthony doesn’t have a mustache right now is because Aminé stole it, cut it in half longways, and made them his eyebrows.
He does have some nice eyebrows
Bro
This was a long ass joke lmaoo
Bro we need to check on Amine this man said “I’m no in the best mental state” like 3000 times just casually and he looks sad af

Here early. As a top 0.05 percent listener of amine on spotify, gotta keep supporting him.
He’s the goat

Lmfao discovered him last week
Welcome, children

@Natoy Natoy yea
Algorithm things
and he CONTINUES the hot streak of high profile guests. good shit anthony
Anthony you fooled us. I thought we were watching an anime interview.
Fricking melonhead clickbait scam 😠😠😠

Are U Urameshi's mother??
Just thought that as I looked at the comments lmao
Yes his comment section sucks ass but I’m so used to the shitty jokes I just scroll past them without much thought
That shits mad annoying I’m tryna see what people are talking about dealing with the video and like it’s a whole fucking interview and all I see are annoying ass jokes and memes
one of the most underrated rappers out rn
I love how honest Amine is. And he spitting some fax too. Big ups
Why was the interview a wholesome
This video is the same length as Jacob Kiplimo's time for his second place finish at the 2020 Valencia Marathon

He came to my high school a few years ago but I missed it f. I still need to listen to the album
its fire you won't regret it
Love seeing Aminé getting the recognition he deserves and to watch him grow and grow with him since gfy is amazing

Such a genuinely nice dude. Amine is one of hip hops brightest souls, and easily my favorite artists.

I'm glad anime talked about mental state, it should be more public and open to conversation in interviews.
Came here for anime. Left liking Amine.

"I found them on Twitter when I saw the EP cover of them in the Telsa"
"Oh the Jailbreak single cover?"
Oof
I really love amine’s stuff and man it’s so nice to hear him like this. He seems so chill. What a great artist.
This was great! As much as I've been a fan of his for years, I also haven't watched many/any interviews, and Anthony's style really shone on this one.
Amine has such a cute smile :)
LIMBO for sure album of the year in my opinion
One of my favorite artists here providing great content. Also From my home town 503. Aminé is a true artist. Great video.
Can’t wait to hear your reviews Fantano man, on man on the moon 3 the chosen. One of my other favorite artist Kid Cudi. Just dropped.
dam what a wholesome moment @3:10
I hated how they didn’t really talk about “ONEPOINTFIVE”
it was literally just a quick mixtape of bangers to tie fans over. its cool but there's not much to talk about

Amine genuinely seems so nice
Most underrated artist out right now. Period.
Love this guy thank you Aminé for working with my cousin paulowallo on a photoshoot. Much love from Maryland. Great inspiration for me.
Aminé's smile is heartwarming ngl
Artists who can control the length of their album and not make it like 50 tracks long and 2 friggin hours are great
I always forget that Anthony can be so professional just because of his audience and the way he interacts them. I know his reviews are always well written and everything but it’s just crazy to see the contrast
I’m smoking baked beans right now
heall yeah dude
pass me some
Aminé going from shy to genuinely stoked to learn about chess media was the realest thing ever lol.
Seems like such a great guy. Always nice to see the other side of musicians
Guest camera quality up 1000% from the Julian Casablancas interview
Nice! Melon getting more and more big names. What a great dude, not much ego. Or he is aware of it, discusses it. I like that, authentic.
Wow! When Fantano first started doing interviews, I thought no mainstream artists would give him one. But then Logic, now Amine... proud of Anthony!
Thanks Fantano, since you interviewed him I now know I to form the opinion of him being the best artist out right now
I love how Aminé is finally getting some recognition
