Thanks to his long-running series of YouTube-based album reviews under the banner of The Needle Drop, Anthony Fantano is arguably the most famous music critic on the internet. He’s influential enough that Drake, arguably the most popular recording artist of his generation, felt the need to slide into his DMs with some vague, hostile barbs in response to Fantano’s mostly negative reviews of his discography. “Your existence is a light 1. And the 1 is cause you are alive,” Drake wrote, nodding to Fantano’s 10-point scoring system. “And cause you somehow wifed a Black girl. I’m feeling a light to decent 1 on your existence.”
