Future actually has some performances on SNL that were good. Check out his March Madness and Low Life SNL performances. Those were legit great. Not sure what happened here though
It's crazy how many performers seem to not know to watch out for certain letters like that and not say them directlyinto the mic, I've only been in a studio once and that was the first thing I was told not to do
@@IncredibleGoliath On the contrary, audio engineers fucking suck. They have overpriced audio equipment and make songs around that rather than wahtt he consumers have, so songs and movies today sound like absolute shit. They deserve as little as possible.
There's a video of Frank Sinatra recording "Polkadots and Moonbeams" somewhere and he's saying EVERY plosive off-mic. Dude was truly a pro. It's crazy how many singers and rappers out there don't understand anything about microphones.
*This is like when Carti performed on Jimmy Fallon* and the crowd was wondering why an anorexic man was swinging from a ladder and having an epileptic seizure into the microphone 🎤 🎶
I have an uncle that just did 30 years in prison. He said while they were in there they watched SNL to stay up to date. The guy is 70 years old and listens to Camilla Cabello thanks to SNL. He's out now, but man I feel for those guys still in there that have to watch that performance....
30 years.....Holy moley. When I was young I did enough dirt to put me away for a series of lifetimes. All non violent, for the most part, and im not trying to sound cool. I was young and poor and stupid. But I often have nightmares of getting 25 to life. Props to him for doin the bid, because I don't know that I could withstand it. Takes a strong individual to wait it out.
funny thing is, his first song made me think "man, this guys a discount future", and when future showed up it was hilarious. it was like watching weird al perform with the artist hes spoofing. the weird al comparison is solid, because his songs are jokes, and so is gunna.
I watched this live and thought to myself, “How many musicians would kill for such an opportunity as this? And THIS is our performance?” Thanks for shedding some light on this Anthony - What an incredibly dull performance. At least we can laugh.
I feel like someone doing the mixing at SNL must've slept through proper mixing class at school or something because the last few performances I've felt there's issues mix-wise that make the artists sounds worse but Gunna was so bad I was completely distracted from the already bad mixing.
@@SodlidDesu The mixing for SNL's music guests is historically sucky, but honestly, the balance of sound from Camilla Caballo's music a couple days ago was actually decent, I thought. I really think it depends on the range of instrument frequencies that the artist is displaying. I feel, generally, that bassy performances, be it rap, rock, or pop, flounder.
As to why Lana's reaction got a lot more coverage. That was 2012 when SNL was more widely watched and respected by young people. Specifically the young people who would be into early Lana's music to watch it. In 2022 my parents who watch SNL still don't care about Gunna and Future at all. And if Kendrick was up there they would've hated it any way. So it was always gonna suck. And it's not like Gunna is someone who was going to change any minds to the older audience who don't love rap, let alone lowest common denominator Gunna and Future bars. Just a slew of apathetic audience expecting garbage and getting garbage so there's no story.
Producers do 90% of the heavy lifting in rap nowadays. That said, effects do the same for pop and rock artists unless they have perfect vocals without assistance.
@Random Username Some artists for sure. But people like Future and Gunna? No, they're nothing without their producers and engineers making them palatable. They're like the modern day equivalent of late 90s boy band.
I think it’s easier for the general public to tell if an artist is singing badly as opposed to mumble rapping badly. And there’s essentially no universally known stage presence standard for hip hop artists nowadays.
I think the problem with the guest segment is that they make it so it doesn’t cut through the tone of the sketches. The problem with that is that asking insightful or tense questions is off the table. It’s a lot of light conversation and ass kissing in order to set up punchlines.
I never understood how Gunna is being pushed upwards, never saw in him as some main man or a big star in trap music but rather just some sideguy to feature for bigger names like Thugger or Future.
I mean I just genuinely think Weezy and Turbo are amazing producers and not many people fit their beats like Gunna. Plus I think people just like him cause he'a a meme
Gunna just like... exists. Like if I hear a song of his in a mall or something, I'm not going to get mad but I'm also not going to rush to download it.
Had never heard that song before and I must say I absolutely died laughing when Future said "she not a lesbian for p she turned pesbian" idk why but hilarious
^a lot of these hits are artificially pushed and suggested to people via RUclips or Spotify or whatnot. Remember that Drake and Future song that got over a billion in views? Back then almost every comment under their music video was about said music video being the very next thing on autoplay ni matter what you were watching... history documentary just finished? Here's Drake! Changing diapers tutorial? Future feature! It was absurd but the point is that's how you made hits nowadays. Nothing new, back few decades and labels were paying radios to play their garbage singles and sometimes they pushed too hard and people realised what's going on.
I only know the song through it's meme status. I think the reason why there hasn't been more pushback is because 1) SNL isn't what it was and 2) the people watching SNL aren't really concerned with the bathroom breaks that are musical guests now.
The sound is always, always, ALWAYS shite on SNL. The performers may be partially to blame, but it has never been known for a space that gives good sound. And the sound engineers obviously give as much of a crap as the actors, which is usually minimal
I remember tribe called quest coming on snl after phife died and I don’t rlly know who they were and I’ve been a fan ever since it’s a shame a lot of these new artists can’t capture the same energy
Tribe is part of the old guard that has been doing this shit forever. They know how to play off each other in a live setting. I think that really determines how good an artist/group actually is: where you can't hide behind audio engineers to make you sound good.
Lol at trying to use an RE-20 to show what blown out plosives on a mic sound like. It's like the one time the fact that you don't need to use a pop filter with it is a problem.
This should have been one of the most pver the top dumb and bombastic performances of recent times. It's a fucking meme song now and it should have been completely off the wall and stupid.
Since were talking about SNL performances I think Rosalia fucking killed it and the live version of chicken teriyaki is actually supine to the album version. Actually made me like the song more.
i’m just thinking of all the concerts i’ve seen and how pissed i’d be if i paid a bunch to see someone half ass their performance. like i absolutely love seeing artists who have energy performing and live doing so. like charli xcx on her recent snl performances at least tried to make them fun and special after not getting to the first time with covid.
Maybe i'm the only one who feels this way, but I don't think I agree that the performance/delivery itself was that bad. Which is to say, they accurately captured the energy of the recorded track. Which is also to say, Pushin P is a boring, crappy hip hop track that was destined to not be any more interesting performed live. Could it realistically have gone any better?? It's a bad song lmao. Am i going insane? Is the song actually good and i'm missing something? Bc i've been feeling this way i dunno.
I’d guess Lanas has more fans that watch SNL and such more people criticized her performance. Who do you think Gunnas audience is and do you think they watch SNL? I would personally guess his main audience is like, 14-24 y/o males, and I’d also guess a comparatively small portion of them watch SNL.
I gave the performance a generous 90 seconds or so. Proceeded to be so underwhelmed that skipping it and forgetting it existed seemed the appropriate reaction. My plan was going so well until this video popped into my feed, looking to dredge up and rehash the worst experiences life has to offer. Thanks Remindthany No Funtano!
no one cares about the performance because its gunna. lana del ray was a popular well beloved artist, so a shitty performance was a shock. I doubt anyone was shocked that gunna wasnt good
It honestly wasn't as bad as you made it out to be imo. They definitely could've put more energy into the performance but I feel like it was mostly just a lack of preparation on SNL's end. Anyway I watched Lana's performance for a laugh afterwards lol
Lana's performance was straight to your face bad in a surprising way. this performance was like sending you in a abyss of nothingness where everything is lifeless except that Pvvvvffffff from the microphone every 5 secs
I'm not sure what's worse: the song or the performance on SNL. They're both horrific. How does Gunna have fans? There are literally hundreds of rappers more talented.
How does anyone have fans? They like his music, I’m a gunna fan myself. He’s obviously not the best rapper and he can say some really cringe things. With that being said gunna has made a lot of songs that are very enjoyable and Wunna was a pretty good album
Even with the tight time constraints of SNL, there is no excuse for a hip hop performance to sound like shit. I'm wondering if Future even showed up for rehearsal.
Gunna performed two songs on SNL, and while the other one wasn't amazing, it was at least "fine." His presence on stage had somewhat more life to it, there was a live band playing the song, and there appeared to be more effort put into the stage design and lighting. This performance, on the other hand, felt like it was hastily tacked on at the last minute.
A lot of modern commercially successful artists really get exposed during a live performance. Social media presence and clot don’t translate to on stage charisma.
Nowadays kids are in denial. 0 standards in music. I think people don't even care that much about a Gunna & Future SNL performance. If it was Kanye, people would care.
With Gunna, king of half-assing things (the ripples of that Freddy Gibbs "diss" he so grandiosely announced still can be felt to this day) and Future, who's built his image on understatement, it's not much of a surprise this fell flat.
Future can be a pretty good performer ngl but when he's high out of his damn mind like (I assume) he was now, he can barely move his mouth let alone his body 🤣
i don’t know much about mixing, but I just saw half•alive in concert and it was one of the most artful ideas ive experienced in concert or in general! i think that the rap genre in general is a difficult one to perform in concert, but i agree we can expect better!
Pushin P to me is easily the most overrated rap song of 2022. Song is very generic and boring. To me, Pushin P feels engineered by all the record execs to put this out there as much as possible. It’s always better when people can pick up slang from songs by themselves instead of having it be pushed upon to every platform.
Love your videos I just watched the performance seems like it's a situation where the production and the style of the performers comes across well on record but not live.
Sheeit I thought for a second that Pushing Zzzzzz was about Pusha T. No, I thought, impossible. But thankfully the melon, with his leafy appendages, saved us all. The Future is here, and haters Gunna hate.
on the topic of adele, I remember the time she performed "all I ask" on the grammys and the microphone feel in the piano, causing the sound to be off and her give a disconforted performance. she ended up performing the song on Ellen in order to "redeem herself" and it was much better.
Imma be honest, I completely skipped through the musical performances this week because I wasn’t feeling the episode as a whole anyways, so finding out I missed “the worst performance of SNL” I’m not really bothered, but thanks for bringing this to light

Jack White killed it on SNL a couple months ago though.

you everywhere bro
as a european rap fan, i can say with confidence: who? where? with what song? now i am goint to listen to that...
This seemed racially charged Anthony
"empty basketball court" definitely seems like subtle coding
I thought this was gonna be about MGK’s System of A Down cover, but it’s good to see that Melon is humane when it comes to an artist’s career.
He went #1 on Billboard Hot 200 twice in a row. Cope

in a better world that would be solely because people listening to him ironically, but sadly reality is often disappointing

Fuck I really didn't need to know that, and have the morbid curiosity to check it out
With Gunna, king of half-assing things (the ripples of that Freddy Gibbs "diss" he so grandiosely announced still can be felt to this day) and Future, who's built his image on understatement, it's not much of a surprise this fell flat.
Future can be a pretty good performer ngl but when he's high out of his damn mind like (I assume) he was now, he can barely move his mouth let alone his body 🤣
Death Grips be like, Takyon
I know you didn’t like the performance but you didn’t have to curse Loren Michael’s entire lineage
Hi Jets, I want an 8 corner pizza, with garlic crust, ham, and pinneapple. For pickup.
the performance wasn't that bad, its just a boring song and that gets exposed in a live setting
Rap is in its grunge phase. The more you emphasize the rules of the studio, the more they're going to break them on purpose.
i don’t know much about mixing, but I just saw half•alive in concert and it was one of the most artful ideas ive experienced in concert or in general! i think that the rap genre in general is a difficult one to perform in concert, but i agree we can expect better!
Pushin P to me is easily the most overrated rap song of 2022. Song is very generic and boring. To me, Pushin P feels engineered by all the record execs to put this out there as much as possible. It’s always better when people can pick up slang from songs by themselves instead of having it be pushed upon to every platform.
If anyone has ever listened to the ten minute podcast we know not to pop our p's.
when he named Gunna (knowing their history) i swear i started laughing immediately.
The best SNL performance was, is and will always be when FEAR played there.
Love your videos I just watched the performance seems like it's a situation where the production and the style of the performers comes across well on record but not live.
Pushin Z’s bro?? Gottem
i was thinking the same thing about the sibilance ... i have to explain wireless all the time as devil's magic haha
SNL is a comedy show, yet they haven't even had Weird Al as a musical guest. They have had Tenacious D as a musical guest at least
It’s a variety show. That’s why they have musical guests. The musical guests don’t have to be comedic.
@@jaredrubino1889 but still, there were decades where Weird Al could’ve been musical guest and/or host.
@@joshhale9355 sure
@@joshhale9355 I fully agree, hugely missed opportunity
Sheeit I thought for a second that Pushing Zzzzzz was about Pusha T.
No, I thought, impossible. But thankfully the melon, with his leafy appendages, saved us all.
The Future is here, and haters Gunna hate.
The person who programmed the lasers that night had a really good performance!
on the topic of adele, I remember the time she performed "all I ask" on the grammys and the microphone feel in the piano, causing the sound to be off and her give a disconforted performance. she ended up performing the song on Ellen in order to "redeem herself" and it was much better.
Imma be honest, I completely skipped through the musical performances this week because I wasn’t feeling the episode as a whole anyways, so finding out I missed “the worst performance of SNL” I’m not really bothered, but thanks for bringing this to light
They came with the energy of a methadone clinic
