Logic Reviews Anthony Fantano’s Review Of Chance The Rapper
Reviewers can be pretty harsh, especially when they’re as notorious and well-known for their opinions as Anthony Fantano, also known as The Needle Drop on YouTube. However, he’s also shown an earnest and fun personality despite his blunt takes, something other artists appreciate beyond feeling criticized. For example, Logic just did a Fantano-style review of his own video about Chance the Rapper’s The Big Day. While this is one of the more negative reviews on his channel (I mean, he gave it a 0), it still has some pretty fun moments. As such, Logic had some fun of his own breaking down The Needle Drop’s opinions and video style.
In fact, the two have a solid rapport and relationship, despite Fantano’s own negative reviews of some Logic albums. Moreover, the Internet’s busiest music nerd appeared on Logic’s album Vinyl Days, both in an interlude and in the MC’s lyrical content. As a pretty online person himself, Logic seems to have a similar sense of humor to the music reviewer. Also, the Maryland rapper isn’t a Chance hater, either. The two have an old SoundCloud song together titled “Upcoming” and nowhere in Logic’s video does he dig at the “No Problem” rapper himself.
Still, most of the video is dedicated to asking Fantano to chill out regarding his takes on The Big Day. For example, the YouTube star took issue with Chance’s lyrics on his 2019 album, whether for his punchlines or topics. One lyric he pointed out was “Pretty sure I need you in this season like a flu shot.” Logic had to step up to defend his fellow artist here. “Pause that,” he said in the middle of Fantano’s review. “That’s a bar. Okay, that’s dope. What the f**k? Hatin’ ass…”
Overall, the Under Pressure lyricist acknowledged how much passion and effort Fantano puts in, however negatively he may feel. Not only that, but between the funny edits and memes throughout his video, the MC balanced empathy as an artist and understanding that external opinions don’t matter for them. Maybe that’s reading to deep into it, but let us know what you thought of Logic and Anthony Fantano’s reviews. Also, if you haven’t seen it, check out Logic’s full review of The Big Day review above. Y’all know those are just their opinions, right?
50 Cent Celebrates 1 Billion YouTube Views
50 Cent is an icon living. The Queens legend hasn’t released a full album since 2014’s Animal Ambition, but fans are still checking for his classic hits.
50 took to social media on Sunday (January 1) to celebrate making the list of rappers with the most YouTube views in 2022. “I didn’t put nothing out in a while,” he wrote. “I would be mad if I was new and I wasn’t on the list.” 50 Cent made it to number 10 on the list with 1.8 billion views, just above Lil Durk with 1.6 billion views.

Eminem came in at no. 1 on the list with a whopping 5.1 billion YouTube views in 2022. 50 gave Em his flowers in a separate Instagram post. “That’s my boy,” he wrote. In the same post, the Power creator revealed his plans to drop new music in 2023. “I’m gonna remind people I’m nice this year. New music. [and] TV. Let’s go!”
50’s post comes on the heels of his legal battle with Medical Spa owner Angela Kogan heating up. The 47-year old star is suing Kogan for allegedly suggesting that he had penis implants. Kogan stated in recent documents that 50 should be suing The Shade Room instead of her. The Spa owner’s lawyers submitted documents stated that the website posted the photo of Kogan and 50 together alongside an article about penis enlargement surgery.
“The Shade Room is the author of the Article,” Kogan’s lawyers stated. “[They] pulled the Photo from Kogan’s social media without Kogan’s permission or consent. The Shade Room is the publisher of the Article, and Plaintiff has improperly applied the actions of The Shade Room to Defendant.” 50 has yet to respond to the claims. The case is set to head to trial in July 2023.
Quando Rondo Calls Out YouTuber Who Pranks Him With Fake Diamond Test
Quando Rondo was angry with a YouTuber who tried to prank him with a fake diamond tester during a video shared on social media. In the clip, YouTuber DatBoyQ tried to convince the Georgia rapper that his jewelry was not authentic.
As the results continue to come back negative, Rondo gets flustered.
“Man, lil’ bruh, quit playing with me, man,” he said initially after the results arrived.
Afterward, Quando took the YouTuber and his crew to his jeweler, Crescent Jewelers for a real opinion. There, his jewelry is confirmed to be real.
“Where your diamond tester at? They trolling me with they little fake diamond tester. I don’t know what they got going on,” Quando Rondo told the jeweler. “I ain’t gon’ lie, I don’t even know y’all boys. Y’all got that fake-ass diamond tester and shit. Lil’ bruh, y’all playing, n****s gets murked like that. And get laughed at, ‘Ah ha, he dead.’”
The incident comes a month after Rondo shared a collaborative mixtape with NBA YoungBoy, 3860. The project features a sole guest appearance from Lul Timm. It marked YoungBoy’s seventh project of a busy 2022 although it was only Rondo’s first. Speaking about the tape on Never Broke Again Radio, YoungBoy admitted that Rondo is a better rapper than him.
“It’s crazy, I don’t know,” YoungBoy said. “The world be hating so bad, and I be keeping it so gangsta. Man, Quando rap way better than me, and them bitches be hating on my five. I don’t like that twisted ass shit.”

Twitter Reacts To DDG Claiming YouTubers Make More Money Than Rappers
DDG recently sparked an online debate after tweeting yesterday (Dec. 6) that YouTubers bring in more money than rappers. And with the 25-year-old being both, he certainly has insight on the topic.
“Ngl.. youtubers/streamers make more money than rappers & it’s not even close,” he wrote on Twitter, leading to thousands of likes and retweets.
MrBeast replied to the tweet soon after with a simple comment, writing, “Interesting.”
The social media star has over 100 million subscribers on the video-sharing platform. Last month, it was announced that he had the most subscribers compared to any other YouTuber, a title that once belong to PewDiePie.
Rapper, boxer, and YouTuber KSI also chimed in on the topic. Breaking down the pros of his different careers, the “Number 2” rapper replied, “YouTube/Streaming = most money Music = most respect mainstream wise Boxing = most respect online wise.”
Sharing why he thinks YouTubers bring in more bucks, content creator and streaming star Stable Ronaldo also claimed that they are able to better connect with their fans.
“YouTubers/streamers connect way better with their audience IMO then artists in terms of working with them and I think that leads to more $,” he tweeted, adding that “keeping up with daily trends/ideas” also helps drive their content.
Still, some weren’t entirely convinced.
One user tweeted under DDG’s post, “Eh, I would say the top top tier rappers making more, but more than your average rapper, yeah.”
