If BP with vocal fry are never on board with the culture, how did we get fooled by Kanye?

Yup, makes me think of California surfer dudes as well. Not to be confused with "uptalking," where the voice gets higher pitched so that the end of every sentence sounds like a question.



That's exactly who I was thinking of too.

Kartrashians put vocal fry into the mainstream Kanye was popping before all that and I don't hear it in the video you just posted*

Vocal fry en masse is a fairly recent phenomenon (past 10 years) I believe

Her and few others, but it's all part of valley speak that mtv helped population.

I genuinely thought it has been dying down as of late with people mocking that type of talk


Kanye just switches up to tone and delivery a lot, like real weird code switching. I would say its a side effect of medication but that's usually more deadpan and less expressive.

Think it's just his weird way of appearing non-threatening to white audiences
