No Mr. Putin, my 208-BPM Grindcore song is actually just 104 BPM but played in double time, you don't understand!
this is exactly what's gonna happen
You'll have to sort it out with Kadyrov. Putin and the federal government have a rather limited authority in Chechnya
*Mr. Kadyrov
@@user-cx3ev5xn9n most ppl don't know who kadyrov is so I just went for putin
This is the first thing I thought of lmao
“Ayo this song is 117 bpm get him!”
😂😂😂😂😂
😂
😂😂
😂
According to google translate (which does not support Chechen) the Russian translation of that is "Эй, эта песня 117 увм! Возьмите его!" so everyone keep your ears peeled.
They accidentally locked out their own national anthem cus its too slow 🤣
now ppl are gonna make tiktoks to the national anthem sped up
They are too slow to realize that
The anthem of the Chechen Republic (Shatlak's Song) is within the acceptable BPM. The anthem of the Russian Federation is not however- which they don't care about since they don't use it.
Nope, they didn't, it's a lie. Also the law only applies to Chechen national-style songs. Also, it's a recommendation and not a strict law (granted, in Chechnya it's pretty much the same thing).
@@pinthecool1 yeah, the line between a law and a suggestion is pretty blurry in a place where they can punish you in any way they want for any reason with 0 repercussions.

Oh no, Russia is taking sides in the Kendrick/Drake rap beef.
Putin: drake is a outstanding entertainer, but I have to give it to Kendrick, his last album was outstanding.
"ay metro, add me to the track, imma invade Drake tonight" - Russia
"Russia need a replay button, y'all up to something"
Putin sides with Drake, confirmed.
As a russian, I can say that we are with kendrick on a law enforcement
rest in peace sonic ost
There is no possible way they’d be able to enforce this without only targeting artists within their territory (which is still awful). People are going to find physical media with these BPMs if not on the internet and if the law does take effect they’re probably going to make examples out of a select few for scare tactics (which also fucking sucks). Underground music always finds a way to thrive under the most oppressive regimes as all art does.
LO FI BEATS TO CHILL + DO HOMEWORK TO (But Not Too Chill)
Putin gatekeeping all the music isn’t very cash money of him
what an absurd thing for a government to do lmaoooo
In the event I'm in Putin's presence & there's complete silence, I'll just claim he's playing 4'33" by John Cage, which is 54 BPM & not in the legal range. Checkmate Vlad!
85 bpm is essentially 170 bpm. Different producers will develop the same beat in those two, they are variables of one another. Some people work with more clicks, and some people use less and just sort of bob their heads. Kendrick's verse at 165 is a variable of 82.5.
Indeed, and it's depressing seeing lots of people not realise this as it's entire;y fucking obvious when you make music or even DJ for that matter.
@@cookingwithsilence Industry cunts have always been industry cunts. All the big labels, even indies at this point that aren't just small imprints, all the TV and radio stations, important websites and distibutors are all probably owned by Blackrock, either directly or indirectly at this stage. It's almost not even worth bothering with. Certainly fuck the idea of serious money ever coming your way if you're not in the club or initiated. You need to be approved, otherwise you will be crushed. I believe now that there are no exceptions to this rule. Even people like AFX are in 'that club', so where does that leave everyone else? Yeah, they're in 'that club' too. All of them. Unless you come up with a new system to sell and distribute, which at that point you're not into music anymore, you're into business innovation. Not the same world or skillset and you'll need serious funding. Where does that come from? Huge shareholder groups like Vanguard and Blackrock or their subsidiaries. Disruption and disruptors suck anyway. They only ever make the landscape worse. Lastly, don't expect the truth from someone like Fantano. He and his audience are intolerable air heads that know nothing about music and even less about the real world. He's a datekeeper of sorts. Trust no fucker, especially big RUclips accounts as they're just the new TV anyway as the old one is dying for good.
@@EverythingYouDoIsABalloon you don't even need to make music, any 5 year old that's even /slightly/ musically inclined will realize they can clap their hands twice as fast to the same song
I get what you’re saying but this is worded horribly. 85 bpm is not essentially 170 bpm. They are objectively different measurements of time. What you’re saying is that a song could be played at 170 bpm but in half-time, making it feel like… well, half the tempo. Your use of the word “variable” is confusing because you’re not actually describing what is happening. You’re just saying “well those two tempos are actually just the same thing”
@@dappunk1 thank you wording professor. Elitism in music is a suburbanites disease spread mostly online or during vacations when burning mass quantities of fuel to "get some culture".
Bruh i live in Russia and at this point its hard to even be shocked by this shit we've been desensitized to government crazyness at this point. Sadly bpm bans is the least of our problems right now😮💨

@@Faygo551 like that was a response to FPF and push up was a response to like that. let the other have a response first
Apparently they have kinda walked back on this restriction. The original announcement was published on the official Chechen news website. Later on that same site there was an article called "Ramsan Kadirov (the head of the Chechen republic) laughs at the opposing media's claims that the national anthem is banned in Chechnya". In the article it says that it is not a total restriction but a recommendation and it only applies to artists making traditional Chechen music, also it says that the "recommendation" part was clarified in the initial announcement, though I read the original article and it doesn't mention traditional music at all, also nothing about the law being a recommendation. So even though it is not as bad as it seemed initially it looks like the original announcement was intentionally misleading to make fun of the "opposing media"
Come ahhnnnn
Come ahhhhnnnnn
You're already a day late
What’s illegal is the unreleased Wu-Tang album being owned by one person
He went to prison and now it belongs to like, a group of people who bid on it.
So yeah that's not great but at least it's not just one dude

Putin can't even reign in Ukraine. How tf does he think he could reign in breakcore?
just make all the quarter notes full notes then quadruple the bpm its that easy
that’s what i’m thinking, just claim it’s a half note =whatever then you good
Mhmm because THAT’S the intent of the law 🙄
@@Randomjackass135who gives a fuck about the intent of that dumbass law. He was clearly joking, pipe down.
Yeah and if that doesn’t work out just do shenanigans with like 1.5x ing the tempo on paper and use a lot of dots and weird note lengths
Reminder that music is actually completely illegal in Afghanistan.

Do Quran recitations count as music?
@@thescoobymike approved religious chants are allowed
Anthony, Kendrick won’t kiss you for this
What we should do about this is start notating music in weird ass time signatures to make the song technically within legal bpm while actually sounding faster or slower
Get me out of this mess for fuck's sake
It won't be long until we have left only two haircuts to choose from and only Shaman and Gazmanov to listen to
Fun fact they make us read 1984 in school
(I forgot that RUclips shows those @nicknames instead of the channel name I thought y'all would know I'm Russian because I have Russian characters in name but whatever)
Haha and haircuts also gonna be between gaZmanov and shaman
Also, at what grade you read Orwell in school? cus i dont remember this in our school programm
@user-ow1os5xo1d I guess it depends on whether your literature teacher wants to cover foreign works or not
We have uhmmm a unit(block¿¿¿) in grade 11 on dystopias, and 1984 is the most prominent one brought up there
Also, even if you don't cover it in class, reading 451 Fahrenheit/1984/Brave New World is highly recommended when you prepare for the final essay in grade 11(the topics usually given are disturbingly fitting for these books to base your arguments on)
This is why you should have bought physical media and stopped streaming.
@SugarSista820 nah, 10$ for cd is way too much in comparison with the price of a Spotify yearly plan (not to mention that the equivalent of 10$ over here is not the same thing as 10$ in Canada, America)
In our region, we used to pay 2$ a month for Spotify, we have another streaming service taking up that spot now, so yeah
Maybe for other countries, it's somewhat OK to boycott streaming
In our case we're fucked either way
@@trqlrex Are you required to use a VPN for Spotify in Russia? I thought they ceased operations over there but I could be wrong. Most Russian artists I listen to show their top listeners in Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, etc. instead of Russia.
80-116bpm is actually fucking insane. That’s almost nothing 😭
Average marching tempo is 120 lmao
@@ScariestGaryDAW software usually defaults to 120 too.
Their anthem is 78 bpm

Someone in the Chechnyan government's been reading Plato's Republic.

I read that as "music is the goat no hat" and I'm like, why is he concerned with the hat? And then I remembered I'm gay.
Chechnya Spotify is like, “oh I gotta make sure I set my speed before I play that song”
'So what keeps you alive?'
'Four big bottles of water a day, two packs of Marlboro Reds. And, uh, I don't know what keeps me alive, shit. Music, I have to listen to music all day long. I say that keeps me going.
I'm a pretty dark person, I've though about ending it a million times. And I have to say that music keeps me here, by far, the main thing.’

This is more of Ramzan Kadyrov thing against western "anti Chechen" influence, although ofc he is loyal to Putin. But even Putin wouldn't ban bpms (just 🌈)
3:45 the fact that push ups was actually in the range

This explains why one of my shorts was blocked specifically in Russia. This is like Footloose in real life 😅😅😅
Anthony blurring the part where he picked his ear💀
This reminds of the bit in Plato’s Republic where Plato talks about all the ‘Modes’ (scales) that won’t be allowed in the music of the Republic because of the undesirable emotions they supposedly cause (sorrow, anger etc) - which anyone who knows anything about music knows is impossible since all modes are implied by all other modes.
Chechnya taking the stupidest and most absurd leaf out of the book of the grandfather of Totalitarianism basically.
I'm like Spongebob on fentanyl in real life at 188 bpm
how abt you react to the drake disstrack
Drum & Bass music is dead is Chechnya
I heard they arrested a preacher for asking if he could get an amen
We need to start making/editing songs to fit somewhere in the criteria and call it legalcore
Figures Melon would turn this into a Kendrick video
Songs that are now banned in Chechnya:
- The Russian national anthem
- The song that played before they made the announcement saying this
1:14"according to the cia"
Shout-out to the Song Islands record in the background there ik fantano is a big Phil elverum stan but its instantly recognizable to me, another Phil Elverum stan. Had some brief conversations w Phil regarding a Japanese release of the Mount Eerie album.
So pretty much my entire metal collection would be null and void. 😂
the second I saw this "law" on the news I was wondering how the f are they gonna make it happen. I assume, everyone will just ignore that and listen to their favorite drone music alongside with technical deathcore songs and it's not like you can easily tell what song on your earphones is being played and how fast it is. Maybe they'll just avoid playing certain things on the radio/local music tv and that will essentially be it, but that won't really impact the people who are actually interested in music. This however will/may impact popular artists, but I think this won't make much problem for them, even if this "law" will somehow work.
this is a huge matter in the year to come.
Why ain't you covering the beef ??
Because he knows Kendrick got smoked
Imagine this ruling spawns a new genre in this area born out of the limitations
Vaporwave gonna pop off
Thank u for speaking the truth Anthony. I will miss u
No drum and bass? Weird BPMs also makes up like half of Aphex Twins catalogue. I would lose my mind. What a shame.
A 162 Bpm song is actually just 81 bpm played in double time, there’s plenty of workarounds
I wonder what they do if a tempo varies in a song. Do they take an average tempo?
As a half baked картошка that loves a lot of American music, thank you for covering this❤🙏
i need to see the meeting that led to this decision, or train of thought in general....like what??? This is the most confusing thing i have ever heard of
When you drive around in Melons car , you don’t listen to the radio , the radio listens to you .
It was nice knowing you fantano thank you for your sacrifice🫡
a refrigerator has a sound that's at least 600 bpm. now all the food will go bad over there

You just have to slow them down or speed them up in a way that it could be made perfectly normal using the RUclips playback speed feature
Hey remember that one time when England band music that featured "emissions of a succession of repetitive beats"
So no MIZMOR or THUNDERDOME
fantano should review kino for classic week
Good shit. They can bump dilla all day. And the get some of the classic west coast jams as well.

1:50 this was a real honest thought i had after reading
You could say Russia is now…Cole World.
All you gotta do is listen to “like that” in half time, chechens! Fight the power!
what about halftime? what about tempo changes?
If it’s not Cals newest mixtape it shouldn’t be played anywhere period.
0:25 I love how simply being punk is a reason alone for a band to be banned 🤣
"Genre:Bradboy" is now the only music allowed in Chechnya.
The law seems impossible to control. There's just so much music

Oh wow, I guess Anthony is the biggest opposition force in Russia now 😮
Adam Neely did mention that most of the time the fastest and slowest music can be felt at half or double the tempo anyway, so I do seriously wonder what the real tempo range not allowed is.
