YouTube critic Anthony Fantano roasted Flyysoulja\u2019s single \u2018I\u2019m An Island Boy\u2019 as \u201csounding like s**t.\u201d With the rise of TikTok\u2019s explosion in popularity in 2020, the site has become a cultural hotbed for some of the year\u2019s biggest trends and viral moments. One of the breakout stars to invade the platform are musical twins Flyysoulja and Kodiyakredd, better known as the Island Boys. One person not a big fan of the duo, however, is YouTube\u2019s biggest music critic The Needle Drop. In his \u201cWorst Songs of 2021\u201d video, Fantano called out the brothers\u2019 single \u2018I\u2019m An Island Boy\u2019 for its production and called it \u201cunlistenable.\u201d The Island Boys roasted by The Needle Drop The TikTok duo\u2019s single was named the fourth worst song to come out in 2021 in The Needle Drop\u2019s annual year in review list. According to the popular music critic, The Island Boys\u2019 first properly recorded commercial song was a major misstep.

It\u2019s totally awful and unlistenable. Whoever produced this track and finalized it REALLY f**ked the f**k up. They must have gotten paid nothing,\u201d the YouTuber said before breaking into laughter. Fantano then criticized the track further and added, \u201cIt just sounds like s**t. It has that I\u2019M AN ISLAND BOYUH! that we\u2019ve heard in so many viral videos and remixes of them. This makes up the melody and the lyrics of the song. But hearing it with a beat doesn\u2019t make it any easier to listen to or stomach.\u201d (Topic is at 11:26) The Needle Drop also roasted the TikTok duo as a \u201creally bad cringey meme\u201d but said that he believed the brothers were self-aware enough of their cringe and are just trying to take advantage of their popularity while they can. The musical critic concluded his rant by exclaiming, \u201cI highly doubt they will be able to offload their gimmick to any other venture in the future. But hey, they\u2019re gonna try!\u201d Fantano then sarcastically said he was looking forward to their DJ Khaled-produced album in 2022. Just four days earlier, the twins got into a heated argument while guests on the Impaulsive podcast. The TikTok stars stormed off the set and exited their conversation with Logan Paul. With YouTube\u2019s biggest music critic now hating their single, the Island Boys have had a rough week, to say the least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthony Fantano roasts \u201cI\u2019m An Island Boy\u201d as one of 2021\u2019s worst songs YouTube: The Needle Drop \/ Big Bag EntThe internet\u2019s biggest music nerd The Needle Drop named the Island Boys as having one of the worst songs of 2021.
