Pitchfork got caught for publishing a racist article and
Marcel got caught for plagiarism and
Fantano got caught for pirating.
Is 2015 the downfall of /mu/'s music critics?

ayyyy

go away marcel
>>55544827
la-maoh

>back to reddit
no back to tumblr you SJW
The RIA is going to sue him for 500 million for listening to songs labeled as other songs, it's all over
>>55544834
that post is not even focusing on marcel let alone any of them
what is wrong with you
>>55544817
only one stands strong
>>55544817
And nothing happened to any of them.
Good work guys
>>55544834
but why would marcel refer to himself as a plagiarist? fix your logic.
>>55544839
that'll teach him for giving cherry bomb and that emo album a bad score we sure showed him to conform
>>55544839
Nice try, Cal-killer.
>>55544862
something will happen to Fantano, though. look at the evidence. pirating is a bigger crime than those other two.
Time for him to disappear. Delete the YouTube channel, cancel the sponsorships, and return to the cantaloupe patch he came from. His life to over.
Is he finished???
>>55544837

>>55544783
If Fantano has his downfall who will replace him?
We should take a poll and nominate some critics.
/mu/ takes down one of the greatest, most moral reviewers out there now
Well done guys

>>55544912
He was a pretty good reviewer though I wouldn't say "moral". He gave a lot of points to why he didn't like the album he listened to and h didn't seem like that bad guy.
It's kind of weird how this site sets up cults of personalities around people only to take them down pretty hard over a minor flaw. Same thing with Gabe Newell over on /v/
The best part about this is the vindication that comes from him exposing how little he listens to these albums he reviews and how little he knows about the artists.
He literally listened to some Albarn and Gorillaz demos and didn't stop for a second to wonder if maybe, just maybe, this wasn't the new Blur album.
>>55544890
shut up and take my keks
>>55544957
what good would it do if someone saved it
you people are childish
C'mon.
Is this really that bad? I mean, really.
>>55544957
Yeah i saved it, uploading now
>>55544940
I reject that that was implied.
>>55544912
Making money off stolen property is hardly moral anon.
>>55544981
I just haven't watched it
>>55544974
This. Fantano's opinions are officially invalid.
>>55544817
Scaruffi is a pedophile lunatic.
Christgau has terrible taste.
Meanwhile AntiWarhol has remained flawless.
>>55544974
He's a pretty biased reviewer. I mean you could tell he has no credibility when he gave that DGD album a 1 even though he knows nothing about the genre or the band
>>55544974
>exposing how little he listens to these albums he reviews and how little he knows about the artists.
lol ikr
I'll bet he just reads a few reviews, rewords with a few meme-catchphrases and that's how he makes a vid.
His music talk is so vague and full of repeating buzzwords that you could almost apply them any album and get away with it.
>>55545033
go to bed AntiWarhol
ITT: Dead careers
I'll start
This guy sucks!
This is all a conspiracy devised by a secret contract conducted between fantano and blur to hype both of them. RIAA got caught in the crossfire for their own lulz. It's a win win, sorta win. srsly you guys are dumb.
Anthony Fantano: POTY
>>55544783
You forgot to add he's bragging about making 200k in these threads and switching the topic to lil b.
what if already owned the previous tracks and bought those b sides??!??!?
>>55544982
>Is this really that bad?
YES IT IS! NO ONE WILL EVER TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY EVER AGAIN!
HIS CAREER IS OVER!!!!
>>55545033
I don't really understand why anyone gives a fuck about others opinions on music.
I like fantano, but not because I think he's a good reviewer or anything, I don't even watch his reviews usually, not sure why people don't just listen to music.
>>55544846
>>55544867
mentioning marcel at all, let alone calling him one of "/mu/'s music critics" is suspicious enough
>>55545074
LOL
>all these people sending false reports
>not knowing thats a felony
have fun in prison
>>55545114
this. take a look at all of yourselves. these threads. this is a fools generation demoted by social media acceptance.
>>55545115
even bashing marcel warrants a 'go to bed marcel' post
this is so meta i'm tired of this meme
>>55545033
>antiwarhol
he thinks this is a 5/5 album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR2XBi-yviw
Now that his career is over, what will he do now?
>tfw Fantano will soon get raped by niggers in prison
Feels good
>>55545122
Yeah I was thinking that myself, not gonna send a report, but the one about him showing the kid his fantano, and making him feel his strong 6, flawless.
>>55545115
what about mentioning fantano? i suppose we should start spamming 'go to bed fantano' too hm?
Busted again

>>55545033
>>55545114
You do realize that reviews can offer perspectives you might not have considered and not everyone drones off of them, right?
>>55545115
whether you like it or not, marcel is a critic. a critic who reviews albums and loves talking about music.
he is also frequently discussed here on /mu/, so that makes him a /mu/ critic by default.
This is actually good for /mu/ they can finally see how little he actually knows about music. If you watch multiple reviews of his, all he does is look up background info about the band on Wikipedia, talk about 2 tracks, look up words in a thesaurus, ramble on for about 5 minutes and boom you got a whole video.
>>55545122

>>55545193
You are so obviously Marcel it's hilarious.
>>55545122
yeah, im sure RIAA will look over to every report to see which one is false and look after everyone who sent a false report
>>55545225
i'm not, i'm just stating facts. how can you deny something that is a fact such as this?
by definition, he is a critic. how can you deny that?
>>55544912
This, to some extent. I wouldn't call him one of the greatest, or most moral reviewers out there, but he had his own voice and could articulate it well. As for his morality, I don't know or care about that.
I don't think it's worth trying to get him into legal trouble for pirating music, when it's safe to assume over half of /mu/ does the same thing.

The main thing this reveals is that all the bragging he has done about getting lots of promos from labels is bullshit.
>>55544827
El em ey ough
Where the fuck is the mirror of the leak review
I want to laugh at him
>>55545294
Your jealousy is leaking through your post man, better get that looked at
>>55545294
well he has posted loads of images on instagram of him getting early copies of albums before. last one he posted abotu was the new GYBE album
>>55545305
there is no mirror, it was deleted immediately after it was uploaded and no one downloaded it
So which fake leak did he review? The one with the Gorillaz b-sides?
>>55545328
come on surely when you see a blunder that hilarious the first thing you do is save it
you guys are amateurs
>>55545328
It must be in someone´s cache, though. The guy who made the first thread and pointed out that Fantano reviewed the wrong album.

You guys are acting like you did when Jenny Death or MPP dropped. Seriously, calm the fuck down.
This is autism incarnate /mu/. Seriously. What is your problem? Explain to me how this is a big deal.

IT'S HAPPENING
>>55545456
you dun fucked bro
why do you people care.
This pretty much confirms that this place is filled with teenagers.
so epic guise
>>55545456
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAHHAHAHHAHAHHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAA YOU DUN FUCKED UP
>>55545331
Yep.
>>55545451
More like slow population
this is so funny to me. like i don't even care that he pirates music but it's hilarious that he reviewed a fake album. hahaha
>>55545477
>This pretty much confirms that this place is filled with teenagers.
how new are you? there have been countless incidents that confirmed that this place is filled with underaged people since its inception
>>55545362
he has hundreds of original reviews besides those copied ones that are now deleted
>>55545464
>intent to pirate
lmao
Even if the tracks he downloaded were blur tracks, do you really think he's going to go to jail? All he has to do is wipe his hard drive. He probably even uses a proxy or vpn for torrenting. C'mon, you guys are childish.
>>55545114
When I listen to something the only perspectives I care about are my own and the artists'.
>>55545464
You're a retard
>>55545477
it's comedy gold, you bitter "4chan mature adult"
>>55545490
Where did he fuck up?
>>55545515
>do you really think he's going to go to jail?
no but he will not be able to review albums from now on
>>55545515
>He probably even uses a proxy or vpn for torrenting
doesnt matter. he reviewed an album that was only on /mu/'s archive. its confirmed he illgeally downlaoded it
>pirating music
every single one of you fuckers are guilty of this, what makes you think fantano was any different.
Nowadays if someone tells me they don't pirate music I literally laugh in their face, who the fuck is paying for downloads.
>>55545536
he tried to start a new thread but ended up accidentally posting it in this one. its tradition to point and laugh and say "you dun fucked up" everytime that sort of thing happens
>>55545538
>no but he will not be able to review albums from now on
It's not like he works for anybody.... Why would he not be able to review albums?
>>55545538
Holy shit you're retarded
>>55545549
The difference is that he is a professional music critic who is supposed to have standards and not rip off the musicians he criticises.
>>55545549
it's just a vehicle for fucking with him u melon
>>55545582
Boo fucking hoo
>>55544954
please make video with this guy laughing at fantano
>>55544976
terrible post
>>55545582
professional as in he talks in front of a camera in his house and has a twitter and a blog?
Reminder Blackdingo is a le right generation rapfag.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGe60xWT-fE
>>55545538
It's not even confirmed at all, you dipshit. Do you know how a trial works? You have to provide evidence that shows that Fantano is undeniably guilty. And this is one small piece of evidence that doesn't mean shit. All he has to do is say it was a joke review and that someone else showed the album to him. Any lawyer worth half a grain of salt can get him off this charge.
Also, he can still review albums, he just has to buy them. Or, even keep torrenting, because guess what? No one's going to do shit about this melon. Fuck, you guys are so stupid.
>>55545532
It was kinda funny that he reviewed a fake album, but now you guys are actually trying to ruin his life over some fake guise of morality.
Seriously this kind of shit is supposed to stay in /b/.
>>55545549
If I start a food reviewing channel, do I go and steal food from stores before I review it?
>>55545573
1. riaa send youtube messages ordering them to not pay fantano money for his videos
2. all his sponsors get messaged by riaa telling them the same thing
3. he can still make reviews and have subscribers and views but it will be pointless because he's not getting paid for it anymore
>>55545558
HAHAHAHAHA YOU DUN FUCKED UP
>>55545624
Pirating music is not stealing
THIS IS OUR CHANCE FOR REVENGE
>>55545616
Professional as in he earns his living doing the reviews.
>>55545616
He makes money off of that so YES, you dimwitted fool
>>55545582
>professional music critic
>>55545621
>It's not even confirmed at all
YOU CANT PURCHASE THAT LEAK ANYWHERE YOU FUCKING RETARD YOU STUPID FUCKING IDIOT CUNT
>>55545621
Anyone who says he's in legal trouble is trolling or stupid. But this is going to tarnish some of his credibility as a critic. But overall it doesn't matter. People will still watch his videos and he'll keep making money.
>>55545549
The HUGE difference is that he profits (over $100k a year apparently) from the use of the pirated music in his youtube business.
>>55545668
see>>55545638
>>55545679
that was because it was really never made public that he pirates music
are you guys pretending to care about this because yall bored as fuck or what
>>55545616
profession = job
his job is making youtube music reviews
Does this make the concept easier for you or are you still having trouble?
>>55545085
you might be on to something, I actually listened to the new Blur album on Spotify today when I had no intention to otherwise
>>55545665
It´s an objective fact that he is a professional music critic.
>>55545549
>every single one of you fuckers are guilty of this
lol poorfag.
>>55544890
>any of this happening

You guys are fucking cancer is /mu/ really this bad now? Fuck this shitty place, especially if >>55545039 is a serious post. I mean DGD? Ffs they are awful as fuck and didn't deserve a review at all.
He abandoned his /mu/ roots long ago anyways, his fans come from mostly reddit and tumblr now. Now he's realized he fucked up, and he is nothing but a slimy thief.
>>55545767
Yes, as funny as poop jokes are, that would be your profession if it was your sole income. Glad you are getting it, I know it's a tough concept.
>>55545779
>He abandoned his /mu/ roots long ago anyway
he's been tweeting and instagramming about this place recently a lot, he even says he browses /mu/ in his intimate evenings thing
>>55544890

Everything that generates income is not a profession.
>>55545853
is this nigga srs
>>55545344
>>55545351
It's just like all his other reviews except he listened to the wrong album, it isn't like some kind of super video or some shit he reviews the songs he listened too, but they aren't the songs on the album.
I thought you guys liked Fantano.
Is this because of TPAB?
>>55544783
Who is this goddamn faggot anyway? He keeps cropping up in my Recommended list on youtube even though I never watch music reviews. He looks like a massive tool.

>>55546023
$100,000 is better than "a living", like I said show proof of this shit, because I don't believe you. Maybe like $60-70k I could see, but I think you're just maaking shit up and being a faggot

unsubscribing

So a mediocre jangle pop album and an entry-level cult film is better than 90% of the obscure shit he listens to or watches.

I'm still puzzled as to how he got so popular

>you can make up to $4,000,000 a year by acting like an autist in front of a webcam

The best way to work it out is the going rate for 1000 views. A network on average will pay you between $2 to $5 per 1000.......average say $3 per 1000.

Fantano at 3mill views a month would be on
3000000/1000 x 3
= $9,000 per month
Around $110,000 a year.............plus all the other shit he charges for
