How Artists Should Deal with Failure 

imagine kid cudi got discouraged and never worked on kids see ghosts

Thanks for coming to my little sister's piano recital. Calling it a "failure" was a bit harsh...making a video about it seems unnecessary. But I know she appreciated your presence. Have a blessed day Anthony, see you at Sunday's farmer's market.

Not sure what this convict is doing on Anthony Fantano's channel, but he did a great job. Unsubscribed.

He gives the album a 0 and then posts a "how to deal with failure" video. Savage.

Cmon Anthony, not a fan of the "Boy in the striped pajamas" cosplay

Tyler, the Creator is a great example of what an artist SHOULD do. Didn’t let the negativity of Cherry Bomb get to him and put out Flower Boy two years later

Chance the rapper is surrounded by yes men and it's obvious with how badly he deals with negativity.

1. Marry logic and talk about how much you love your bi-racial husband

Best way to deal with failure: get discouraged and quit your career, live in regret, spend LOTS of time making it a spectacle online and try defend your work, when the scathing criticism subsides and you’re a stale meme, quietly live in shameful despair and take it VERY personally. Got it Melon, thanks for the advice, love ya ❤️ 😔💔😢

I'm not gonna judge you, but you spelled LMFAO- Sorry For Party Rocking ALBUM REVIEW wrong.

Anthony broke out of Alcatraz to make this

6. Take down your album/video then reupload it later

1. Secure the keys 2. Ascend from darkness 3. Rain fire 4. Unleash the horde 5. Skewer the winged beast 6. Wield a fist of iron 7. Raise hell 8. Freedom Edit: tHaNkS FoR THe LiKes. No, but glad to see the community is full of men of culture...

anybody really satisfied with how the grey stripes on melon's collar line up with coordinating grey stripes on his chest perfectly?

fantano: "the audience will inevitably forget" all of us: "bUt YoU gAvE MBdTF a 6"

Right don’t get discouraged. Imagine if Lil Wayne didn’t make To Pimp a Butterfly because of it.

"I met Kanye West I'm never going to fail" - Chance the Rapper

Fantano why did you take out the part where you stole Chance's wife and made her your girlfriend on Runescape?

Lil xan is now going to make another album thanks melon

I see that reupload Melon man, you cant hide.

Anthony I sent you $30 bucks but you still haven’t added me to your premium snap

Thanks to chance I now love my wife and her boyfriend.

This list is just how melon got thru the MBDTF review backlash

Disagree with number 6. Ain't no one gonna forget "I don't play no games unless we talking Fortnite".

“How artists should handle failure” Not only does anthony decide what failure is, he now tells you how to handle it

This Beetlejuice trailer is weird.

Everything you said about logic was so true

Im glad that you re-uploaded the video without your derogatory statements about Chance's wife Anthony. Good man 👍

Ooh, I love my wife‚ I love my wife (Igh) Let's go ride a bike with my wife (Igh) My wife's really young‚ my wife's real small Let's go to the beach and play with a beach ball Praise Jesus‚ God, and my wife Let's go to beach and ride a bike Ooh, I love my wife‚ I love my wife (Igh) Ooh, I love my wife, she is so fine (Igh)

as a jew your shirt offends me

My "I love my wife and she isn't ugly" t shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

chance needs to see this, he's really fanning the flames rn

I think the way Kanye handled the criticism of 808s & Heartbreaks and the Taylor Swift incident was the best response possible. He released his Magnum Opus My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The irony of it, 808s & Heartbreaks is arguably his most influential album. Whilst The Big Day will never be a timeless classic. Never.

Remember that fantano knows what it's like to be memed on, so he's experienced in that regard.

As an artist i can easily say that i have been challenged with various types of critique and id be lying if i said that they didn't bother me. It's been tough but each time I'm faced with the critics I've learned how to manage my ego more and more so that it won't affect my creative process or my mental health. Every one of the points Anthony has made has been valid and the advice can be used for even everyday living. It's just cool to see someone else thats heavily involved in the industry share valid information to others who may be unaware of how to cope with their psyche when dealing with critique. Cool melons Melon. Keep living healthy mane

I‘m just kinda... skeptical of Chance actually loving his wife that much. I honestly think, he basically tells himself he really loves her that much because it seems to be the right thing to do. Then the whole „eyo, I‘m super religious now, drugs are evil“... just reeks of surpressed shit.

The internet: Chance loves his wife Chance: you all want me to kill myself

I totally agree. I don’t understand why Chance said People want him to “kill himself”. I didn’t see anything about that .

Day 2 of asking for a buffcorrell's Death Grips covers: Worst to Best.

Artists are sensitive as hell. I remember a Donald Glover interview where he mentioned the reason he's not on social media is that it's too much for him to take in. More artists would live happier lives if they just did the same.

why did logic re-upload his video just to put in the part about him being biracial?

Anthony hurt Chance’s feelings so bad with that review that he had to create a power point to show Chance how to deal with it. What a legend.

Thank you. This video was very helpful Anthony. Unsubscribed

And I appreciate this video. I remember the first time I watched your channel I hated you cause you gave an album I liked a low score. But it’s exactly the mindset that you have with the internet that allows you to continue making such quality content! Keep it up man, I appreciate you.

I have a rock album I’ve been working on for 4 years and I can’t wait to release it and see the reaction, whether it be negative or positive. Hope Fantano reviews it one day. Though I’m 99% sure he’ll give it a decent 5.

It's okay Melon, you didn't have to delete the vid the first time we know you love your Wife

Chance is being way too sensitive about one little meme

this was really thoughtful, and it applies to a lot of things outside of music too, so it's a useful bit of stuff for a lot of people i think. it's not anything i hadnt heard before, but its one thing to know something and its another thing to hold myself to the same standard i hold others, lol. i would tell an artist friend of mine all of this in a heartbeat, but i wouldn't necessarily tell it to myself. so, having someone doing that in video form is helpful haha

If anybody is wondering the actual reason this got reuploaded. The original title was "I love Chance's wife"

1. keep courage 2. f the haters 3. let it go 4. move on 5. its not personal 6. ppl have no memory there you go, youre welcome

These friendly advices prove how much you're a positive human being! Thanks for your work and your great sense of humour, Fanthony! :-)

Make a sequel about how artists should handle success, that’s also pretty important in public image

We get it, Melon. You're Chance the Rapper's wife and you just have his album a 0 so you wouldn't seem biased.

"You can't please all of the people all of the time" Death managed to never make a bad album, but that's a special band tbh

"This is an eventuality. You can't please everyone all the time" Kendrick would like a word

as an artist myself i really appreciated all you had to say in this piece; many thanks for all your wonderful thoughts on our musical world :)

Powerful PowerPoint Presentation

There will ALWAYS be more supporters than haters. Sometimes the haters are just louder

I love you Unkle Adams but I really hope you listen to this

Anthony had to make this because he’s next NOT GOOD artist might die.

Generally this is good advice and can be said to anyone in any creative field. I think you’re right that an audience is easy to forgive when an artist puts out new and better projects. I mean just look at Kanye for example. The man puts his foot in his mouth so much and has made quite a few duds, but always ends up winning favors with his audience because he’ll just hit the nail on the head I guess. Im not even really fan of his but it’s easy to notice when he’s doing well because of the nature of his life having so many highs and lows. That said it’s just hard being a creative person when it’s so tied to who you are as an individual. You’ve already addressed this, but it takes a lot of discipline and understanding to come out scathing reception like that.

Someone give me a rundown on why this was deleted

Watching this one in preparation for putting anything out. Your videos are genuinely helpful to me Anthony, and that I appreciate.

GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN! THE "YOU DIDNT HAVE TO SAY THAT MELON" COMMENTS ARE COMING! RUN AND THEN DONT LOOK BACK! YOULL TURN TO STONE! YOULL LOVE YOUR WIFE! OH THE HORROR

Thank you man. I needed to hear this. 🤘

Anthony looking like he's about to drop his next big album: Straight Outta Auschwitz

This honestly applies to critics who get attacked for their reviews, too. I've made all these mistakes!

I get the comment section has been straight memes for a while but i would love to actually have good conversations about the topics of these videos.

This is a great blueprint for many types of failures.

If you kill Chance, I better not be seeing a apologie video coming from you.

Basically: don’t let your failures define you

“how artists should manage failure” *reuploads video*

Fuck yo I do not know how not to be discouraged. I struggle hard to keep some sort of self worth when there is so many people that are exactly what you want to be

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO YOU’VE MADE FOR YOUNGER ARTISTS, thanks melon 🌎🌎🌎

This is a guide to himself on how to handle the 6 for MBDTF

Didn't really think I would personally benefit from this, but now I see future me really benefitting from this. So I needed this, thanks!

impressed with the constant production quality despite being in prison for throwing metal wallets at people melon

Honestly, all memes aside, if anyone questions Melon's place to talk about dealing with backlash, I implore you to look up the "controversial reviews" playlist someone made for all his stuff. Just look through all the like/dislike ratios, it's honestly kinda amazing

Artists are human. There music is there life n when people shit on it hurts. Then you guys call them corny for having human reactions.

This was really good. Although Fantano can seem a bit clinical and a bit too analytical in his approach of artists and music in general, I love the empathy Fantano has for Chance in this video (and other artists). It shows his humanity. Empathy is honestly a big thing missing in hip hop culture, but this was amazing to watch

Even though I've disagreed with you at times, Anthony your overall stance makes it so that I eventually see your point and respect your view every time. As you said, continuing to create and proving yourself as a creator bypasses any frustration people might have with a single piece of your work. (Ya still did my boys AM dirty tho, but hey it's ok)

If I made an album, put it out in the world, and everyone hated it, how on earth could I "not take it personally"? I made bad art, that means Im fucking worthless and should just be shot and disposed of. I know its not rational, but thats how I feel and I can't imagine being so secure in myself that I would not take it personally. ALL of my self esteem and personal value is completely wrapped up in my artistic ability. Luckily, I'm going to die in total obscurity, so it doesn't actually matter.

In the end, I feel like the artistic process is more important than the result of that process. Simple journey not destination thing, but in the case of art it's very helpful for me. Of course they are intimately connected.

How to make a come back. 1. Start up 2. cash in 3. sell out 4. Bro down

TOOL FEAR INOCULUM TRACK REVIEW. WE'VE WAITED 13 YEARS MR. MELON AND IF WE DON'T GETA TRACK REVIEW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DEAL WITH DISAPPOINTMENT.

Not gonna lie, this video really holds up as just general life advice for dealing with failure. Thanks, man.

my thought, immediately after reading the title: this is about chance isn't it?

This seems like it's about dealing with negative feedback from fans. I think it would be difficult for an artist to not take widespread negative critical response as something other than digs at their artistic ability.

I see ya fantano with the boy in stripped pajamas drip

This is some of the best business advice I've ever heard. Thank you.

Hey Anthony bro this is a reupload, never though you’d sell out like that 😔😔

chance: i love my wife us: frick you chance: i love my wife

Lyrics: Many college students have gone to college And gotten hooked on drugs, marijuana, and alcohol Listen, stop trying to be somebody else Don't try to be someone else Be yourself and know that that's good enough Don't try to be someone else Don't try to be like someone else Don't try to act like someone else, be yourself Be secure with yourself Rely and trust upon your own decisions On your own beliefs You understand the things that I've taught you Not to drink alcohol, not to use drugs Don't use that cocaine or marijuana because that stuff is highly addictive When people become weed-heads they become sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned Sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned That's all marijuana does to you, okay? This is mom Unless you're taking it under doctor's umm control Then it's regulated. Do not smoke marijuana, do not consume alcohol Do not get in the car with someone who is inebriated This is mom, call me, bye

Well said bro. Into it.

We good everyone the video is back up 🙌
