Reacting to Fantano's "SCRAPYARD" Review 

Technically, if Quadeca has not released a direct-to-camera youtube video in 2 years, then he cannot be considered a youtube rapper. However, once the seal is broken, he is then legally binded to be categorised as a "youtube rapper" again.

Thank you Riley John savage for getting way to many friends on the record

Hey man. Glad you’re back. I am really sad you have given up on those RU-vid raps. Not crazy about the new hippy music you are making. Would love for you to collaborate with up and coming rapper Tom Macdonald 🙏 thanks homie

I get it Quad, I was upset too whenever Fantano spent the entire review saying you've fallen off since Wii Music Fire

if quadeca went from a 5 to a 7 to a 9, that only means that the next one gonna be a 11 lets go 🔥🔥🔥

REGULAR RU-vid VIDEO???

how far you've come and all the praise ur getting is well earned

It's so lovely to have seen you come so far Ben. I truly hope it's only further up from here ❤

I guess you can say Quadeca is “Back by Popular Demand”

That's what I've been SAYING about scrapyard vs IDMTHY. I prefer IDMTHY because it feels more otherworldly and the tracks feel fuller (like bigger scope) like IDMTHY is your magnum opus masterpiece but then scrapyard is more like a collage of lots of little masterpieces that were left over

The actual improvement Quadece has had from like 2019 to now is CRAAAZZYYY

my Quadeca stocks just quadrupled in price

HOLY SHIT QUADECA IS BACK! The world is healing :)

A new Quadeca video after years we're so back baby 🔥🔥

Quad used to talk about how getting a 7 from the melon was all he wanted to achieve as a musician. He must be feelin pretty good about himself. He deserves to

20:33 Can confirm. Genuinely didn't know anything about you before I saw the Scrapyard review, listened to the album, and now you've got yourself another fan. The Fantano bump is real! XD

Quadingle posted!!

i was WAITING to see his reaction since i saw the review, i knew hed be gassed about the 9 😭

You’re an inspiration man. I made music as a middle schooler and high schooler and was bullied mercilessly over it, even though I’m 20 now I still carry that negative voice in the back of my head that says there’s no point in trying. Seeing you get to where you’re at now makes me feel like with enough hard work I can make something that can touch other people in a positive way

Quadeca's actually Edging us with this Vanisher stuff, I SWEAR TO GOD IF IT DROPS THIS YEAR I WILL DIE.

i think haunt you is better too. but i think why fantano and other people probably rated it higher is because it’s more palatable and easier to digest than some of the heart wrenching soundscapes of haunt you. its been so amazing to see you grow since voice memos keep it up goat 🐐

the part at 8:40 ish where u talk abt gaze being applied to more than just guitars, genuinely got me hyped for whatever way u decide to explore that in your next album, like just imagine the possibilities

The first Quadeca youtube content in 2 years is about Fantano giving him a 9, what a legend

2:03 I personally liked Scrapyard more too ngl. IDMTHY is a more cohesive project, but certain moments (for me) dragged on a little or there were a few places I didn't love the sound. I really enjoyed every song on Scrapyard.. although obviously I really like both.

I have been here since out of order it’s been so awesome to see the growth. Genuinely couldn’t describe the excitement!

dude i’m so so proud of how far you’ve come! i’ve been a fan for years and years and finally seeing a 9 for a quad album makes me so happy! you did it king

Texas blue is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever heard, thank you releasing these songs

GUESS WHO! WENT THREE YEARS SINCE POSTING AND IS BACK UPON MY FEED GUESS WHO! IS GIVING ME THE W QUADINGLE CONTENT I NEEEED

guide dog hits so hard its unreal. this mixtape is sooo good and you should be proud of your work, you evolved so much. keep it up!!!!

From someone who got into your stuff after the IDMTHY review from fantano, you are truly inspiring. Your momentum as a creative is insane and I can't wait to see what you got cooking up

I remember receiving that Quadeca FMTY poster with the QR code for Being Yourself and being absolutely awestruck at the new weird and interesting ideas quadratic formula was experimenting with. Quonka Did.

I love to see it! I can’t believe after all these years you’re still putting out amazing music! I remember listening to “who would’ve thought” over and over again and refreshing for hours on end for voice memos to come out! Genuinely one of the best artists out there!

i was so surprised seeing a regular yt vid. been here for years and will be here for years to come. love you quad❤

I LIKE TO HIDE A LITTLE LESS I LIKE TO CRY A LITTLE MORE

if scrapyard was better than idmthy, that means if you release a scrapyard of the songs that were cut from scrapyard, it will be better than scrapyard. easy 10

Crazy to see how far you've come. Been following you and listening to your music since the first style of rap video. SO PROUD OF YOU KEEP IT UP BEN

regular video after 2 incredible albums i’m so blessed

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE THE REVIEW DROPPED SO PROUD OF EVERYTHING YOUVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHING QUAD!!

I was literally just thinking once I saw the review that we needed another video of you breaking down the review for old time sake🤣, glad my wish came to fruition. Also congrats on Scrapyard, one of my fav album/mixtapes of the last 5 years!👏🏼

I honestly don't think it's possible for you to be considered a "youtube rapper" ever again. You've just progressed too much. That being said, you should continue making videos like this so I can keep looking at your beautiful face 💪

I never gave your music proper attention until seeing the 9/10 in the description. I was reluctant to check it out because I don't wanna admit how much influence fantano has over me, but I loved it and am hyped to give Haunt You a listen

we love to see it, watching ur growth over the years has been insane and i look forward to the next album

I lived long enough to see another Quadeca video let's go!!!

Thanks for reading my comment, QUAD DID

I'm so interested in seeing quads creative process. Even him just goofing around in his DAW would be a bible to me.

Been here since Voice Memos and so gassed to see the arc you’ve had as an artist and so glad you’re getting your due respect.

Very happy to hear your thoughts on Fantano’s review and hear about your process. Thanks for continuing the tradition. Wild to see your progress, and I continue to be excited to see your growth as an artist!

damn i remember when i would watch quad videos 7 years ago reacting to his football matches with jonny zizou lmaoo im so proud of you we’ve really seen you do it all

Quadeca is my favorit RU-vid alternative, experimental, ambient, folktronica with a hint of hip hop thats a singer songwriter producer artist:) I loved Wii music fire and cant wait for the second song he ever make!

ily quad, been here since Voice Memos and have been a fan of all your tracks, KEEP GRINDING

Man I’ve been here since voice memos ur growth not only as an artist but as a person has been amazing to watch

WAY TOO MANY FRIENDS is my favorite song on the entire mixtape, it’s hard to believe you had to be convinced to put it on!

"I'm not a good guitar player, I'm just good at making guitar sound good" resonates so hard with me. It's such a good summation of how I feel about my own playing and song writing. I can't shred or anything but once the whole arrangement is put together I'm always pretty proud of my work. Shout out to all the mid guitar bois just making the most of what they've got and still getting light 9s 🙌

aye we’ve been waiting for the quad W and i feel this is the biggest one. i remember imdontai reviewing FMTY and i was soo hype only up from here!

Been a silent off and on viewer since 2018, was in 7th grade then, a freshman in college now. Incredible mixtape and I can’t wait till the next album.

I’m so proud of you man. Quad Did this

Listened to scrapyard after the review, and was seriously blown away. I listen to a wide array of genres, and consider myself a pretty devoted ”music listener”, and with scrapyard I’m just infatuated with the sounds, progression, performance and attention to detail these songs have. QUAD DID

Holy almost first, congrats Quad, love the album so much, one of the best of the year for sure

ive been a fan since like 2017 crazy to see you grow musically as i get older

Scrapyard is easily my favorite project you've made I'm obsessed. Idmthy works as a cohesive album better probably, but song for song Scrapyard wins easy. Each song feels unique and conceptual and is produced ao fuckin well. There's some songs that arent for me but I still think those are great too.

The thing I like about Fantano, even if a lot of the time I disagree with his final rating, is that you always know it's his own personal experience with the record, and he expects you to have different thoughts about the stuff he reviews. Also, once you get a feel for what he likes, you can pretty easily tell how you're going to enjoy something based on his review. He'll talk about how something is too poppy or corny or something like that, then give it a 7 overall and you'll know that for your tastes it'll be a 9 (because you love corny poppy stuff) or actually just a 5 (because that stuff really tanks an album for you). You're right, in that the last album is probably the better one, and should probably receive the higher score, but that's not Melon's taste, and at least he's honest about it.

i can’t believe that you got to this point over the years i’ve been listening to you, it’s insane how far you have come and i’m proud of the kid🎉

This is actually so beautiful to see

Fantano was wrong about one thing: Quadeca’s growth as an artist has not been surprising at all. We were saying this guy is gonna be a great artist in 2018. It waa pretty obvious if you were paying attention.

Ngl hivemind converted me to a quadeca fangirl

I’m just happy to see another YT vid from you, it truly feels like a full circle moment. Kinda like the full circle of corpses left by Dignan and his goons outside my front lawn back in ‘98

i’ve been subbed to you since insecure and its crazy to me how as my music taste has evolved as i’ve gotten older you’ve evolved and expanded my music taste as well.. i’m constantly not suprised but impressed by the quality of work that you’ve been able to produced and it makes me so happy to see you get your flowers for the work you’ve put it

Calling him "Tony" is just an extra level of baller. Good work bro

THANK YOU RILEY!

I'm so happy that you've come this far. It's crazy seeing the musical progression of Voice memos to Scrapyard. Can't wait to listen to what you put out next.

Congrats Ben! love your vids here and there to kind of remind us that you seem well.

MAKE IT LOWER IS CRAZY

Honestly people act like Melon is just a guy and to some extent that's true, but given his longevity in the public eye and relationship with the music industry itself a Fantano strong 9 is a prestigious thing to be proud of. Quad has grown so much as an artist and I'm here for it, congratulations and here's hoping for good things in the future for him

I love your collars with hivemind and its awesome that your back on your reaction videos, would love to see more vids with them and just on your channel, been a fan for 6 years now ish

so proud to be a long time supporter ben, keep up the great work!

Yeah dude, Guide dog is fucking unbelievable.

I was really bummed when I didnt see a reaction video to the IDMTHY review, so it's nice to see one for this project. Love these videos

Quaddddd. Love this!! RU-vid return. Congrats this new stuff is sick!!!

Your music has evolved more than any other artist I've seen lately. You're are gonna do amazing things with this music fr

Dude you deserve this so much thank you for making such real and vulnerable art. I really can't put into words how much that shit means to me 🫡 Long live Quadinkle fr 🙏🏻💯

Congrats bro. That album is phenomenal, I been listening to it non stop since it released!

was so waiting for this! congrats my friend

Love this. Brings me back to the old days. You’re still a natural talking to the camera.

quadeca i love you, you make good songs and it inspires me

So happy for you dude!!! Im in for the long run. Hope success keeps coming your way great album truly!

Quad I still remember hearing you speak in that squadeca discord server like 3 years ago to others like me and my friend who put me on to your shit and I have to say I knew from the advice you were giving us fans that you’d some day be getting the recognition you deserved. recently I haven’t been as tapped in to your music as I should be, but you got me through quarantine with fmty and Idmthy was an absolute masterpiece and I fucking love how far you’ve come bro. Keep it up I fw you.

So happy for you Quad, you worked your ass off for this. The Scrapyard mixtape was amazing, and it was cool to hear your process on Scrapyard and songwriting in general. Like the whole Shoegaze thing. There is an argument that cloud rap itself with how fuzzy and lofi it can get has an almost shoegaze quality in the synthwork at points.

so insane to see where you’ve gone, so cool to see you doing so well

Such a great artist, and this rating was so deserved and long overdue, well done!

I'm officially invested now. Gonna give Haunt You another listen bc these recent songs have been stuck in my head for the last week rent free

my favorite artist since 2017 my music taste has evolved the same way your music has evolved

This album feels like an entire journey. It has been one of my favorite albums to listen to during work when I need to decompress and vent out some stress. The many different voices and sounds you play throughout keeps me fully invested into it every time I listen to it. It's honesty such a beautiful record imo.

Congrats dude. Your progression has been amazing to watch

One of the most humbling things I’ve seen this year so far. Great job quad. Smash the next album👊🏼

been here before voice memos and i dont think im ever leaving great stuff cant wait for the album

i am in awe that quadbike has posted a yt video for the first time in 20 years. we need wii music fire 2, beamin 2 (with quackity), whatnot, and the iggy feature. once you accomplish all of those musical feats i like to believe that you will come back and do videos with crypt for the rest of your career.

W QUAD, been locked in since 2021 its crazy how for youve come from voice memos to now

Congrats Quad. To see a person (let alone an artist I've been following for a while) succeeding at what they love is awesome and oddly emotional.

bro i missed this type of video i remember first finding you at the ksi shit like 5 years ago the transition has been crazy all this shit is fire

Man props to you Q!!! Much love to you bro u killin it!!
