first song i heard was obedient so i liked it from the jump but couldn't get into the rest of red light like that. now it's like top 3 bladee project for me
tbh ive only just started listening to him and i only like be nice 2 me rn edit: ik im really late idk how i didnt find him earlier 2nd edit: (01/10/2024) wow that changed
@@kyebartlett5454 yeah no doubt but what really made me enjoy bladee is how it made me feel when i was not feeling good, i didnt really listen to him to just to vibe during the day. His more recent stuff u can just listen to chill its not that emotional compared to eversince ect
@@roundabout468 I would be very sad if he missed the point of the old music all over again, I don't care if he gives it a bad grade I basically just want to hear him say "this old stuff makes way more sense now that I understand bladee"
yea Exeter is what fully bought me into their new sound.. I'd recommend you spend some time with bladee's "wodg" next, would b another essential early listen!! btw I think you meant to say icedancer not walker :')
@@Njitsgamez bladee makes music for people frolicking in a flower field while singing about how blood has the same taste as sugar…so yeah he is consistent in this section
Anthony always says bladee doesn’t sound very unique but I wish he would recommend the artists that bladee sounds like. I like bladee and have yet to find many artists making that sound. Anthony seems to always gatekeep them though.
Really cringe comment. You shouldn’t base your music opinion on a 36 year old man. There are hundreds of SoundCloud artists who have a similar sound to Bladee that Anthony does not and will never know about.
Exeter is honestly the album that got me bladee-curious too, I heard about red light here and there but Exeter even to this day has a certain magical fairy ice kingdom vibe that is unmatched
All the sadboys/draingang are strange. On paper it doesn't make sense. But they tap into this weird spiritual energy. ITs crazy special. I don't always understand it but like Bjork I can comprehend the beauty.
i remember first listening to bladee bc this girl always listened to him so i tried to listen and i thought it was weird but a year later i love bladee lmao
Rumour has it that one time Oloff was sat next to Jar Jar Binks on a flight. Jar Jar kept kicking the chair in front of him and generally being obnoxious, nobody knew what to do. Eventually one of the flight attendants came over and asked Oloff if he would perform one of his songs to calm Jar Jar down, and when Oloff began rapping the first verse to Doing It Stealthy, Jar Jar immediately relaxed. To this day the two are still close friends.
There's not much distinguishing about him, his songs tend to blend together into a blur of sound. They also lack a lot of traditional structure, which can be cool sometimes, but I think he fails to execute.
@@torridweiss Bladee was going down a dark path both musically and spiritually, and as a last ditch effort to save himself he made Icedancer. That’s why on Topman he says “2018 if I don’t make it Imma drink some bleach”
Yeah sure he's drained but does he hate Red Light still today? Because Bladee has progressed a lot during his career and Crest is very different from that
There are times in life where you just want everything to end. There are other times when you just want to listen to Doing It Stealthy at max volume and call your boss the R-word
I listen to Doing It Stealthy by Oloff whenever I need therapy. Yeah, I could pay $300 an hour for some college clown to tell me what to feel, or I could just smash great big fucking coconuts on my head and listen to my favourite song over and over again.
he also mentioned avp in a y u no review and laughed at it 😢
how did I forget that ???? I think maybe it would hurt too much to add in
Imagine being so dumb you don’t like bladee

I actually can't believe how badly he abused Bladee in the Red Light review holy shit, it's really not THAT bad.

it's not bad at all, it's actually very very good
@@halohalo3029 its actually one of his best
i love red light
It really is
i'm still genuinely horrified by his drain reviews before the fool
the red light review is straight fucked up

It will be so legendary when bladee gets a 10
one day...
“will”? “When”?
@@spectremodtrain5936 yeah
doesnt deserve to get the same score as kendrick did just not possible
@@g99_b8 hes better than kendrick lemid
to be fair, Bladee's music definitely got more accessible through the years and doesn't sound that 'weird' anymore in the grand scheme of things
nah nah if im playing bladee in front of the homies that dont like bladee im defs choosing the older stuff
older stuff was way more sad and emotional
@@ayda2876 yeah but his hardest shit is also his older stuff e.g. rip bladee

see i don't know if that's bladee's sound becoming more accessible as it is general music trends becoming more like bladee/DG
The yassification of Anthony fantano is almost complete
Bladee is good and I can’t explain why
thars all you need tbh

did bladee get better? did music as a whole just get worse? who knows.what i do know is that bladee is one of my favorite artists
The funny thing is, Bladee’s singing is incredible on Crest.
EXETER is a masterpiece.
still wish I could hear it again for the first time :')
Heard EXETER for the first time 2 days ago and I became a drainer INSTANTLY. Day 3 and I've already rinsed Icewalker, 333, EXETER and e
yea Exeter is what fully bought me into their new sound.. I'd recommend you spend some time with bladee's "wodg" next, would b another essential early listen!! btw I think you meant to say icedancer not walker :')

Nobody boils my blood quite like Anthony Fantano
loser
He makes me so sexually enraged
@@djpacman3352 ?
So stop engaging with content that features him? Life is short. Don’t stay mad.
You mean Drainthony Gangtano?
Listening to Bladee and coercing myself into liking his stuff was one of the best decisions I ever made.
never expected the progression tbh his reactions in the beginning were pretty justifiable but ya nice to see
you can tell how much his mind changed based on the color of his shirt
Bladee is more consistent and willing to take risks unlike drake. I love to see it
Idk how much of an achievement is to be better than drake at anything ngl
I don’t think taking risks and being consistent go together
@@Njitsgamez bladee makes music for people frolicking in a flower field while singing about how blood has the same taste as sugar…so yeah he is consistent in this section
i love that this shows the objectivity of his reviews so well. he reviews each piece of work independantly.
He gave The Red Light a 1, no way that was objective
If it was to pimp an icedancer it would be a 10
As an og drainer
My trajectory went opposite
Redlight btw has to be one of my favs
Anthony always says bladee doesn’t sound very unique but I wish he would recommend the artists that bladee sounds like. I like bladee and have yet to find many artists making that sound. Anthony seems to always gatekeep them though.
the other artists that sound like bladee are just the voices in his head

I'm only just now coming around to being drained so this felt like a biography
We all kinda had that progression let’s be honest
is it fantano progressing into enjoying bladee or bladee getting good enough to be enjoyed by fantano
Both lol
the latter
the correct one is it's getting bad enough to be enjoyed by fantano
nethier... Fantano is just dumb
@@Nokitron this
This is what is what is basically happening to me. I like crest and ice dancer
u would think fantano would understand the approach of the vocals and not take them so seriously
Icedancer will always be my favorite bladee project
He gave a album a 1 infront of 2 10/10 albums in the background
disrespectful.
Exeter is honestly the album that got me bladee-curious too, I heard about red light here and there but Exeter even to this day has a certain magical fairy ice kingdom vibe that is unmatched
i was a casual fan til I heard Exeter, still one my favourite projects oat
Professor Skye's stages of liking bladee theory in action
sounds like he's bargaining with ANY reason to enjoy it lmao
his warlord review is such a crime literally best album oat
"Bladee-curious" kind of sent me
this man will say anything

@@nxvh9062 yeah I agree, I guess we have been around music long enough to have heard stuff similar. I'm with fantano on this as well.
It’s not
The first time I heard Beating the Heart by Oloff my heart stopped beating. Thank God the doctors were able to revive me.
Oloff's music helps me to process my feelings about 9/11.
Wow our little Anthony is growing up. I'm so proud!
i didn't like bladee at first either and i just grew to love his music
At the end of 2020 he put god in his best tracks on a weekly track roundup he called it a 'commercial drained banger'
he was fighting against himself for way too long :'(
love ur edits
they're a bit scuffed but I appreciate it :))
Man really said there's nothing special about Eversince
his shirt at crest is sick
the end of the video he predicted back 2 life
i hope we actually get a thaiboy review for this new album
Spiderr will be a 10 for sure
edit: It wasn't but gosh darn he liked it a lot :D
I unironically like & listen to bladee, have done since 2013 or so. Not as much these days but he has some tracks I revisit.
He also tweeted that Icedancer is better than Red Light back in 2019. Big piece of the progression that he never put to video.
great find :) would u agree with him?

Okay the clapping scared the shit outta me for a min
We've all been there Anthony, it's fine
It was just the hair holding him back
Fantano learning autotune is just not just for fixing vocals but is a tool in the repertoire or musicians (Like T-pain intended)
what a legend
insane character development
fantano gave red light a 1???
ikkk
yes
perfect demonstration of peer pressure
Cold visions is upcoming 9
Bro beacme a legit Drainer😭😭
the pipeline
i hope we get new thaiboy album as well , especially since we dropped fresh
I'm hopefully waiting for bladee's first strong 8 or decent 9 🙏
fully think he's on the way there 🤞
yess the drill song at the end !!
I met Oloff at a supermarket once and asked him ''How did you write Bad Stuff?'' he didn't answer, he was too busy paying for his asparagus.
This video is beautiful
Fantano going down the drain gives me hope
can you link the full video where he said he was fully drained
in the description
Joker shirt during the last review. Bladee reference.
good eye
I hated bladee, then I listened to bladee ironically. Now I realize it’s honestly kinda fye
he is going through the drain cycle of life
Yeah sure he's drained but does he hate Red Light still today? Because Bladee has progressed a lot during his career and Crest is very different from that
he still says he's "not crazy about it"
this is inspirational
I'm curious what his thoughts are on old Bladee now that is sound has clicked.
im fresh im fresh im fresh (im fresh)
The music was too futuristic
