I didn’t state an opinion. I just asked u to explain to me how his music had substance. Carti isn’t doing anything different from what future or thug have already done years ago. He’s rapping over beats just like any other rapper lmao.

Lowkey, I still enjoy his music and fits though

idk breh his delivery n voice is just very unique ig. maybe that sounds underwhelming but like i said u cant rlly fully express it w words

Remember when people called him Avant garde lmaooo? Son he didn't even know what that meant and dudes here was on his s*** talking all this wild s***.
Son makes fun music and that's it, he's not a good rapper by any technical stretch of that word.

the niggas in this thread baffle me

you’re lying if you told me there was anything out that sounded like die lit once carti dropped in 2018

there are so many rappers influenced by carti nowadays in terms of babyvoice, beats, fashion lol

I hate this website’s options 90% of the time

i'm sure somebody could make music that sounds like an electric xylophone being piped through scottish folk music with some hihats and then put the RZA guitar center beat overlaid on top but that doesn't mean there's substance or depth or quality

Yes

He’s pure garbage, never understood how anyone can enjoy that s***

If his impact is just doing a baby voice, letting Bari pick out seditionaries clothes for him, and Pi’erre you’re just proving that his popularity is due to branding

logic himself actually has said "people don't buy music in this day and age, they buy the brand". you can be a regular seeming person who makes groundbreaking music and has a small following because you only care about music or you can be a larger than life eccentric figure who only really does music to push the image

Nobody wants to listen to a bum ass artist. Especially a rapper. You can’t be one of the best without some style

So everyone is saying that he’s stealing from punk rock. Does this mean that punk-rap is not allowed to exist? Am I missing something?? Thread is confusing tbh

you’re saying that like his marketing team decides how he raps on a track

and pierre got famous BECAUSE of his production for carti it’s definitely not due to branding lol

thread title can honestly be said about most mainstream artists if we keep it a buck

right on the money lol. What's even worse tho is he had no build up with this new imagery and s*** hes trying to push. It's so forced and u know the music wont back up any of it

what do you mean by bum? like homeless or without good fashion sense?

No fashion sense/cool aesthetic

It is true that his music relies more on style than it does lyrical substance but that’s way different than implying that his personal branding is the only reason he’s a popular musician

Punk rap is definitely allowed to exist lol but don’t brand yourself as a punk rapper if you’re just gonna be making songs like @ meh

Y’all niggas lame as hell

When you phrase it like this

Carti would cut his chest open on stage before he makes music that resembles anything punk
