It’s his fans’ fault. Encouraging him to do the bare minimum. How tf did we get to a point where we started praising artists for being “good at picking beats”

He was the chosen one out of Atlanta to carry that torch. I remember being a freshmen in HS he had ALOT of buzz.. but nah, he joined a dying New York collective and abandoned that sound.
if he ain't get with the mob he'd have never went beyond a soundcloud buzz what you tryna put the fall off on them for¿

a big portion of his success is the image & that's courtesy of that same dying collective

truth is son was never saying shyte to begin with it's all image & production

you tryna speak logically and I ain’t with that.
He had the sauuuuuuuuuuce around that time. I rather him stay with Awful/Splur Gang.. give us a classic mixtape (The ORIGINAL Cash Carti) a few hot loosies, maybe three mainstream hits THEN fall off opposed to what I’m seeing now.

I know I’m hating like fukk but :mjcry:




This Carti long dead, even if this was never his lifestyle to begin with :to:

He does sound better there but you were at the right age for this so it hit you differently than it would an adult that grew up with guys that were better lyrically and still able to make a hype song. Not meaning to throw shade

Sound sound sound
It’s limited in range and skews a bit much towards SoundCloud rappers, but I’ve seen worst. Biggest problem is that it doesn’t cover a wide enough gambit of hip-hop sub genres.

It’s looks like it was written by a 22 year old who looks up to Lukas Sabatt too much. Although, I will say that SahBabii album was fire.

how is a list that has doja cat, Mach hommy, carti and some guy named Mike considered “limited range”? …(I checked his album out afterwards and it has earl sweatshirt vibes )

There’s like 10 sub genres of rap represented on this list of 20 albums

95% of peoples lists will have artists that are all pretty similar to each other on it

no shade at all haha you are completely right. The rose tinted glasses are definitely on when it comes to Carti. Like I said, bro was the last true artist I’ll ever “Stan”. That SoundCloud era in general was :whew:


I also got a soft spot for that Raider Klan/Miami/Memphis era.. Robb Banks, Denzel Curry, Purp, Xavier Wulf, Chris Travis

being a yungin in the early to mid 2010s was :banderas:

That album had a strange turnaround. EVERYONE hated it when it first dropped, even his fans, now majority swear by it. Idk about #1 album tho. I prefer Die Lit.

He's not someone I bump regulary but I'd like to experience his concert. That energy is undeniable.

I went to a Carti concert in November, I would recommend going

8.3 from Pitchfork - prob highest rated hip-hop album of the year , or at least one of?
4.4 from hip-hop DX - joint highest rated hip-hop album of the year

Rolling stone - giving it Hip-Hop album of the year


It shows who the system wants to make a very strong, concerted effort to push

No normal person will listen to this record and come to the conclusion it was even average let alone actually good.

Young Urban black people ain’t listening to Carti like that, the poster you quoted is completely right it’s concerted push either indirectly or directly.

I listen to a wide scope of music. Its just wack, sorry. Its not about different tastes. He's lyrically inept, incoherrent and doesn't say anything of substance.

If that's their "taste" then more power to those people
