None of them mfers cool

Yeat, Ken, Lonely they all nerds trying to be cool

now make this statement during WLR era or when he was a “Vamp” you just straight glazing bruh lmaoo

it’s only been 2 years since this

look at that Queen scared for her life it didn’t change that quickly lmaoo. they listening now (not regularly) cause he got s*** like Backdoor they can vibe out to and that nigga Carti knows he was bout to lose his female audience, but let that rage s*** come on and it’s still the video above

I know a lot of women (and niggas) who do not like or get that rage/rock s*** AT ALL but just their for their friends lmfao

im talking music era dawg its never been a safer time to throw on some carti than rn

safest time was definitely 2015/2016 but salute lmfao. I could run a Carti/Uzi playlist for 2 hours in my dorm room and nobody would have complained, in fact, niggas would be making SoundCloud requests

he’s just popular rn after a big release and the tour, but the music is still hit or miss after the vamp era, same with Uzi’s Hell era. they confused fans like me cause their platform became, for lack of better word, weird and not cool (ironic cause of the thread title lmfao). it was all hit back then for both of them, from the music to the fashion to the lifestyle to the personality we were getting to the fans listening to it. we not getting a Magnolia type wave, which was the result of everyone being tapped into him, from current Carti

nah i remember getting looks like wtf was this from throwing on self titled sht or 2015 sht cos the nigga "can’t rap" (we were still transitioning from lyrical rap being the standard back then. the lil uzis n cartis were getting hella hate back then ppl forget that lol.) or bringing him up as one of the next stars to look out for in 2017/2019 n niggas would hit me w the wtf? "u mean cardi right? who tf is playboi carti? he got one song lol".

you must have been around a lot of mainstream fans

in ATL and the surrounding Georgia areas, Carti and Uzi was party/smoking music and Yachty was the weird one to listen to lmfao. niggas had been moved on to SoundCloud fully the summer of 2015 when Apple Music came out. niggas wasn’t on no Spotify niggas were uploading music to SC and listening to artists like Carti, Uzi, ethereal, Father, Key!

lmao i was up north east kendrick drake meek mill n j cole were the standard @ the time around here only few niggas were really hip

yea see, that East Coast/northern bias always got you niggas hella late to what’s not hitting in your cities

down south, them niggas were already seen as too mainstream/overplayed outside of maybe Meek. Drake saved himself down south with the Future tape. Cole is Cole, he just dropped a classic album but niggas was ready to pack him up too for the SoundCloud hate

Studying other bodies of work actually helps a lot if you have the ability to do literary a***ysis.

My problem is bro picked watch the throne as the pinnacle of inspiration. New Gen is disconnected from the art and now the genre is eating itself alive from its own willful ignorance

Me and multiple other users have noticed this about Ron Mexico too

fellas what if you guys are the old lames and the yougins are cool

Rather listen to stuntin like my daddy tbh

Would have no problem if all this wasn’t oddly at the same time as social collapse.

But merely pure coincidence

True they don't even look cool either

Idk I think the problem is two-fold

Think "regions/regional rap" got s***ted out by RAPPER/MUSICIAN LABELS cuz it's easier to farm. they just prowl their scene for potential competition, and sign whoever they deem worthy into complacency and bad deals, f***ing their career from jump. They might get some easy fast food singles and GRWM tiktok themes, but don't push past that generally

Whereas LABELS in their normal state are s***ting out the INTERNET as its own region, and signing niggas/kids in high school with literally a few songs released and hoping for the best off their own engrained fan base, or by using their easily accessible ad-revenue-based lanes, like pushing for pitchfork reviews, twitch streams, and fan page interaction/management.

Depends on who's asking what "cool" is anyway. More standard middle of the line rap fans aren't going to like a 18 year old's output that's rife with niche internet references and waxing platitudes about skipping class, girl troubles and s***. They're probably not gonna find someone inspired aesthetically by "punk/rock/anarchy" and internet forum culture as cool. And vice versa, because the young niggas are tired of generic flexing, money phones, and strippers in the video as the entire aesthetic. All of it is manufactured by whoever's "team" as well. I'd get more upset at bad teams for rappers than the rappers themselves

Goretex a real hater. I’ll never forget how goretex posted @LaSean music and said “this your music? I see why you mad…” after lookin stupid in a debate

I just spent the weekend with 6 girls on a road trip to Nashville

he a b**** loser mf

lmao this is absolutely the case they finally on the other side of the fence now n it doesn’t feel good for em

what type of women are you hanging out with that are listening to Carti

I feel like there’s nothing wrong with not being as tapped in as you were when you were younger. It’s how things should go, but a lot of people on here are just closed minded.

u b surprised how many acc fw underground rap lmao but many got put on thru timeless bro that weeknd cosign did wonders for bros female base

pretty girls love trap music (shocker)

Carti trap?
