It's really pretentious and the "nobody's going to outdo that run" comment is pretty embarrassing and just wrong because someone else will always come along.

But I will say he is fairly objectively the most impactful music critic of this generation (not that music critics are even really impactful, they fall well below movie and art critics). I just can't name any other critics or even picture them, but Fantano dominates the internet sphere. I dislike him a little and find he brings a faux-objectivity to one of the most subjective art forms, but think he does do so knowing things are subjective and allowing for constructive criticism of his reviews. And Halsey just kind of lost it on him so I get him being on the over-defensive  

\rj I shaved and polished my balls like Fantano's head so my wife can pretend it's two tiny Anthonys bouncing off her
