Busdriver's latest may appear ambitious in scope, but Electricity is on our Side only offers a less prepared version of the enigmatic rapper.

5/10
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
Thank you mr bus driver
Remember kids, Vsauce Michael always thanks the bus driver.
Thank you Based God
Congratulations you thanked the bus driver and received the best bus driver thank award!
ALWAYS THANK THE BUS DRIVER
literally came for this comment
Vessel to*
no for idiot
Vessel No you *came to* this comment, dont lie
Are you quoting versatile?
Don’t forget to thank him
That isnt a very funny meme, Mr Krabs...
kanimo24 come back when you’ve hosted the Komedy Krab
Big McThankies from McSpanky’s
I have to disagree. This is one of the best records I’ve heard this year. It’s different from his early music but that shouldn’t take away from it. I’m more upset with a 6 minute review than the 5 score. This completely changed my view in my taste of music. It’s a great fusion of rap and jazz, some of the messages might be awful, but the guy makes great music. He falls short on some things but makes up for it with the flow. I agree completely this album could cut some shit out but I still loved this thing man.
AGREED! Though I believe the messages weresupposed to be ''awful'' showing the irony between entertainment and lifestyle.
THANK YOU!!!! Yeah, this Fantano rating… NOT GOOD
I think you'll find this album much more disturbing if you listen to the hidden track at the end of perfect hair.
I agree wholeheartedly
@@matthewhaggerty7963 what do you mean by that?
I was gonna make an "always thank the bus driver" joke, but it turns out that's literally every comment.
Well I mean, you have to thank him.
You wear the red flannel but it’s only a 5.
Yata thought it was only 4 and lower lol
Yata 6-7 is orange
Mayham beats He needs a yellow flannel
THE SUPER VEGETA he does have a yellow flannel!
0-5 red
6 - orange
7-10 yellow
*Thankthony*
*Bustano*
Here
1:33 I think you think "syncopation" means the exact opposite of what it actually means lol.
Filip K ya not so sure bout that one Ant’ny
Being in sync is what he means.
Thanks for pointing this out.
Syncopation is def different
Electricity is not on your side
Damn you just put Busdriver’s name in your death note 😯
Dann Vixm LIGHThany YAGAMItano here
An 80-minute album gets a 7-minute review that's nearly two months late?
It's Busdriver
the album is amazing too he only gave it a 5…
Noooo. not the red flannel.. this is Busdriver Melon. how could you?
aye we need some more Open Mike Eagle and Busdriver collabs
Untitled Name Gang Open Mike Eagle is the GOAT
cant see OME colabbing with driver after the allegations
Joey Phelan what do you mean
Busdriver has been accused of sexual assault
Ezequiel Renovato oh shit...
Gonna have to respectfully disagree with you on this one Tony. One of my favorite rap records of the year.
Nucc yes
It’s AOTY
This asshole gave that trash kanye album a 10 though
Hot Dog eh, it's not trash at all. But it's just not that exciting
It's probably my second least favourite Busdriver album ever (my least favourite being Beaus$Eros and my favourite being Jhelli Beam)
Also saying that Memoirs Of The Elephant Man is really good and exciting seems to be a very contreversial opinion
Big fat respectful disagree on this one. Really vibed with this album tbh.
But every thing he said was super valid. Some of those bars are trash with a silly delivery. His singing really does get old after an hour. If he had edited the album and only kept the solid parts, I'd agree.
seymourglass26 Different strokes I guess
It’s a no skip album. He had valid points, but I loved it from front to back.
he said towards the end that he can see how a heavy driver fan could love this album
yeah this album is literally so amazing
It's actually one of my favorite albums of all time, lol. Great, indirect messages of individualism.
Oh shit. Red flannel on a Busdriver album? He's he really hit a bumpy road on this one...
Get it? Cuz his name is Busdriver?...
I'll show myself out.
stay.
Holy Lord leave.
Thank him on the way out....
😂
Myke C town and Ken liked this so your wrong
Ebbtide42 if Myke and Ken agrees I’m on board.
@@kaingates lol
5's should be Orange flannel imo
Yeah stop misleading us Anthony
U sure know better
Giving him a 5 isn’t really thanking the bus driver
It was a day like any other. Anthony Fantano, the Internet’s busiest music nerd, was hard at work listening to music that he was to review. It was sunny, and slightly humid, so he had left his shirt off for the day. His girlfriend was dealing with an emergency at work.
But all of a sudden, Anthony heard a knock at his door. His muscles rippled as he got up from his desk chair. He slowly walked to the door… He saw a dark silhouette through the window.
“I wonder who that could be…?” Anthony wondered.
He slowly opened the door. And, to his great surprise, his biggest idol was standing before him… MC Ride. Or as his friends call him, Stefan. MC Ride peeked in the doorway, and said,
“H-hey… um I don’t know if you know me… b-but I’m in a band and our van broke down about a half mile back… I w-was hoping you had some tools laying around…”
Now, although Anthony had always loved Death Grips and their music, he tried to play it cool. After all, he kind of had a crush on Stefan ever since he heard his voice on Beware. Luckily, Anthony had a big shed in his back yard full of his dad’s old mechanic tools.
Anthony smiled, and replied, “Sure… I recognize you. What band again? Deaf grapes or something?”
“N-no… Death Grips…” answered MC Ride.
Anthony laughed. “ha-ha, that’s right! just come on in! I could definitely give you a tool to use…”
He led MC Ride to his back yard. On the way, He could feel Ride’s gaze on him. He wondered if he liked what he saw. He opened the door to the shed, and Ride quickly shuffled in to grab what he needed.
“He’s even cuter in real life…” Thought Anthony.
On the way back, Anthony hastily offered Ride a beer.
“Hey man, want to have a beer? You seem like a cool dude.”
“Well… Zach and Andy are waiting for me… but I guess a quick beer wouldn’t hurt I guess.” Mumbled Ride.
At first, they sat awkwardly in Fantano’s living room. But then they started talking about Death Grips and other music. They were soon off on a riveting conversation.
After a while, Anthony said; “hey… I haven’t really been honest with you Stefan… Can I call you that? To tell the truth, I know a lot about Death Grips. I’m pretty much your biggest fan.”
“Ha-ha… Yes I know… and I have to confess something too. I watch almost all of your video reviews. Y-you could say that I’m your biggest fan.”
Anthony then did something very risky. He laid his hand on Stefan’s leg, right above the knee. Their eyes met, and the next thing Anthony knew, their lips were locked and they were lying on the couch together.
“Can Andy and Zach wait?” asked Anthony.
Ride’s response was to continue kissing him. They made out like this for a few minutes, and then Ride started slowly moving down to Anthony’s private area, kissing his beautiful chest on the way down.
“Please” whispered Anthony.
MC Ride slowly unbuttoned Anthony’s black shorts. Anthony’s rock hard penis sprang up, and MC Ride started sucking it off. It was the best blowjob of Anthony’s life. Far better than any blowjob his girlfriend had ever given him. The way Stefan’s tongue moved… it was amazing.
“Ohhhh Stefan… I think I want you to do the nasty in my taxi!” yelled Anthony.
“I AM THE BEAST YOU WORSHIP” replied MC Ride as he took Anthony’s cock out of his mouth.
Anthony bent over on the couch, and got on his knees. Ride undid his all-black jeans, and revealed his lengthy penis. He started to put his throbbing penis into Anthony’s butt, when all of a sudden,
“IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES YUUHHHH!!!!!”
“Oh my God!!” screamed Anthony. “You get-get-get-get got-got-got-got it in!”
MC Ride wasn’t a tender lover. He pumped and pumped until finally, in euphoria, he came inside of Anthony’s butt. He withdrew, exhausted, and laid down next to Anthony, who had reached orgasm as well.
“H-how was it?” Asked Stefan.
“you’re good…” Whispered Anthony. Whispered Anthony. “I liked your lovemaking. I would give you a strong six, light seven.”
Ah you had me right up until the end when he called a strong 6 good
Also why did I spend the 5 fucking minutes it took to read that abhorrent example of fanfiction and shit posting combined
Anthony didn't say thank you to this Bus Driver >:(
sad, this was probably my favorite busdriver album...
Maybe you should thank this guy
You have good taste in anime
Welcome to NHK?
maybe?
Please listen to anything by Milky Chance. They've got a huge following, millions of monthly streams, and I personal really enjoy their music. In all honesty I'm surprised you haven't reviewed anything by them yet, but yeah. I think they're good, but I would still love to hear what you have to say about them.
I actually love Busdriver's singing tbh
Year I became a mutherfuckin g goes so hard
I going to have to disagree. This album was great.
but Die Lit and Lil Boat 2 are 7s lol
Why are all the top comments unfunny jokes by people that obviously don't know who Busdriver even is
Love this album. Might be the most jazzy rap album I've ever heard, like holy shit. It's so varied, so insane, so fun. Haven't really gotten too much into the lyrics yet, but the sound is amazing to me
Disagree with the rating...I think melon flannel death boi sometimes comes into listening to fresh albums with the wrong frame of mind sometimes...this album was no exception.
Electricity is on our side is a top tier album. Very forward thinking, and I hope that other musicians take note of his creative flow, and seemingly fearless approach to throwing things into his songs.
Anyone else remember Imaginary Places on Tony Hawk's Underground
You will be remembered for giving Busdriver's magnum opus a 5.
lmao
See busdriver's music falls under 2 categorys shit is too weird and it's weird but it bops
Did you thank the bussdriver?
Great review, you didn't have to call him an "N" and tell him to sit in the back of the bus though. A little too much, man.
KISS AUDIO These aren't funny. Take your subtle racism and go fuck yourself.
BOO URNS
wow epic joke how long did it come up for you to come up with that
Donald Trump it really isn't funny lol fix ur humor
Donald Trump wait I just saw ur name and pfp, nvm
Gracias senior conductor de autobùs
JIL, a psychedelic electronic soul group from NYC just dropped their debut album, "Emotional Heat 4A Cold Generation." Absolutely incredible
Alexander Heifetz worst title but the album was pretty good. Had some highs and some lows.
4:03
“What they hear from me
Would make 'em highlight my simplest lines
I'm talkin' fear”
I knew you would not like this, but this is the best album ever
Came in to make the joke that everyone made already.
DID YOU THANK HIM
Next stop: NOT GOOD
horney dad57 thank you for telling us!
The single very on influenced by Myka 9 / Freestyle Fellowship- Park Bench People
gonna have to hit ya with the *_S T R O N G D I S A G R E E_*
To be honest it sounds like you actually don't understand the music for this one. You also just sorta take for granted the talent and songwriting on the album, dismissing it as "complex".
That being said, I'm glad you actually took a shot at reviewing it since this album deserves more exposure.
Something always bothered me about fantano and I finally realized what it is. Hes just very condescending in his reviews. He talks from a standpoint as if he is superior at writing music. Just say you dislike it without acting like an album is a national tragedy.
Also how dare you now mention Cosmic Cleavage! That was a whole jazz Busdriver daddy kev LP smh melon
Oh shit, he admits it!!! His reviews fucking kill people!!!
I kinda agree with the review. At first I liked the album, and then I got bored and discovered I was a little under halfway through.
Busdriver is from Project Blowed {ie Freestyle Fellowship) come on nah
Anthony fantano calls himself death note because he thinks he has the power to turn any rapper on suicide watch with the red flannel. Keep asking question, we know better
Anthony calls himself Deathnote in this video because every artist he negatively reviews dies
5 like the number of women who have accused Busdiver of raping them
anybody listening to his first albums Memoirs of the Elephant Man
& This Machine Kills Fashion Tips ?
Don´t than please do that !!!
>death note
so that's how you killed peep, chester and tentacion huh? knew it.
There is no one or nothing I would rather poop to Than this right here :)
Missed the point
I actually really loved this album.
Damn. Never thought I would see the day. A red plaid shirt on a Busdriver album. :-(
Strongly disagree, i feel like this record was pretty remarkable
I love me a red flannel review
I watched the Death Note live action drama. Heard that the anime and manga are good, but it's too late for me seeing as I already got wrapped up in the live action and it's spoiler-ness. Reading the Wikipedia's Plot and Themes sections I'm interested in how its depiction of a type of totalitarian regime results in low crime, but increased zealotry. Maybe in the future we can have an aboveboard global regime based on eugenics and absolute individual moral relativism. Or maybe we can just keep fighting over politics and religion.
If there was only one human, there'd be only one human worldview. But that one human might chew their nails.
With the intro I thought this would be a 1/10 lmao
TEETH NOTE
I saw that subtle bebop reference you did there
my favorite reviews from my favorite melon.
Anyone know how I could get in contact with this artist? I need to thank them.
Jimmy Weeks Sacrifice virgins
I don't know if I'm the only one who goes back to this review all the time. But I am extremely disappointed.
I'm back again and I'm still deeply upset
@@anthonyfoti4391 yeah this and his cancer 4 cure review hurt me
I have returned. The hate in my heart grows. A 7 minute review of an 80 minute album that came nearly 2 months after the album released. Whack. I feel like to the extent in which he reviewed this album is he listened to it once or maybe twice and read the song titles. The bars in here barely get any limelight. Whack.
When you don’t thank the bus driver
This comment section sucks
Melon didn't thank the busdriver
skipthony adtano: wait nvm
Scars on broadway!!!!!
this ain't it melon
Did you thank the Busdriver when you finished the album?
Review Demi's attempts at sobriety.
T O P I C A L
Whatever WAY TOO SOON. The story literally came out an hour ago. Internet stay undefeated 🤣🤣😂
ＮＯＴ ＧＯＯＤ
Wow, what a gross attempt at humor.
llamaslovedrama Ok
It is a very tough album to listen to, I can admit that. Honestly, I stopped after "Me vs Me" which is both the best song and midway point. It is a very long, very zany and very *atmospheric* album (ala Kid Koala - Music to Draw To). It is no Fear of a Black Tangent, but it does try its damndest to experiment by merging electronic trip-hop with clubhouse jazz.

This is the 131st review in 2018
Good review, but your comments that black people didn't invent electricity and don't deserve to use it were uncalled for. Also please refrain from using the 'n-word' and telling busdriver to sit at the back of the bus.
How is this funny? Are you mad there isn't enough blatant racism in the world where you have to make up more? Fuck you.
Good comment, Angus, but could you please keep your racist views to yourself? I think you saying all "moon crickets" should be euthanized is going too far.
seymorglass26 Good comment, even though I dont agree with your views on jews and the media
seymourglass26 woosh
seymourglass26 it's a popular meme to write comments in Anthony Fantano's comments section in which we pretend that he said something alt-right. He's not serious my dude.
Hey, could you review YUNGBLUD's 21st Century Liability? It's a social commentary soaked rap album with alt rock elements.
Thoughts on 1010 Benja SL? Only two tracks out right now, Wind up space and Boofiness but man I'm amazed he's getting slept on. I implore everyone to check out these tracks!
Hello my name is jaden and I have to inform u that you should do a review on the album known as "sacrament of sin" by power wolf. If you do I WILL unsubscribe...I'll do it baldie
Very disappointed Mr Melon. I respect your opinion, however you are just wrong on this one. I really enjoyed this one. :( One of my favorites this year
THANK YOU BUSDRIVER 😂😂😂😂😂😂👌 WHO MADE THIS? 😂😂👌
I personally disagree with your opinion, but I understand why you would feel that way.
Roasted!
Since when is a 5/10 a red flanel?
Hello mr. Melon I'm new to channel I like what you do I just want to know if you would be willing to give a review on an indie rapper known as Oddisee I like his music and I would love to hear what you think about it
what you should you review next is Chris Orrick - Portraits.
"This is my art & it is dangerous" DOUCHE CHIIIIILLL!
*Insert joke about thanking the bus driver*
Why red flannel for a 5/10?
This is my AOTY pls check it out if you have any interest in experimental hip-hop ignore fantwans taste it's awesome
He only gave it a five because he wasn’t allowed to drive the bus after asking 5 times.
You originally gave this album an eight, then you retroactively re-recorded it with negative commentary and gave it a five.
Is everyone finna ignore that lowscorethany killmusicianstano admitted he is the deathnote?
REVIEW THE NEW PUNCH BROTHERS ALBUM, “All Ashore”
My evidence? If you draw a forward slash through a 5 it becomes an 8.
I´d love to get your take on Puertorican origin band Balún -Prisma Tropical
New punch brothers album is pretty good....
I'm gonna have to ask you to review this one again, melon. Can't have you just being incorrect for no reason out here.
I appreciate Busdriver but I just can't get into these flows
Isn't anyone going mention the multiple sexual assault allegations against Driver up to and including rape?
