Yeah the music is good but it’s clearly a product, take the meaning out of conscious rap and what you got left?
His College Dropout and LR raps don’t move me at all, y’all can cope all you want but the true Kanye is Yeezus and TLOP, everything else was him phoning it in to sell records
I assure you that if Kanye could sing like Usher or The Weeknd he would have never made rap music
OxyContin, Xans, molly (lean)
Carti (yeah), Carti, ooh (cash), Carti (cash), Carti (yeah)
Gang (gang) with me (with me), Flacko (Flacko), Bari (Bari)
Switch (switch) lanes, Bentley, 'Rari
i don’t disagree that Carti’s writing is any less generic, however the way he delivers his lyrics and vocals is what differentiates him
it’s no different with Uzi to an extent imo, Uzi doesn’t write about anything special, but he has a great flow and he can lay down a cool punchline here and there + he has a pretty decent ear for melodies
I don't know, maybe, I thought on this album his vocal takes were fine but yes it doesn't stretch like carti on WLR, I've still seen him do a lot of different things vocally, it just doesn't register like carti on wlr
only on KTT will niggas call dudes like Navy Blue boring or criticize Kendrick for making “critic bait” while simultaneously criticizing Travis Scott for lack of lyrical substance
Travis Scott lyrics on utopia can often be literal gibberish. Listen to wlr and pretty much the whole
thing isn’t lyrical but at least it’s coherent
Kanye himself devalued CD and LR after all those comments saying he was phoning it in to sell records to the back pack rap public, plus all the ghostwriters he used
He also said in that same interview that he’s doing all this devaluing to be forgotten on purpose so he can finally be free from fame
Carti has received more than his fair share of criticism over the years lol probably more so than Travis
I don't feel personally attacked by anything, I just don't think travis is any more generic than carti, carti's experimentation is just more in your face.
what does this even mean, is travy's experimentation escaping us all? are his secrets only going to be present in 5 years?
Literally because it sounds good
"How did daft punk get away with making discovery there's no lyrics"

To be fair Kanye has a moodswing about every single album & changes the story up all the time.
He even has said MBDTF he hates not only due to the stabdard it pegged him on but also because it was a ciward apology album - but then he goes on moments where he thinks it peak rap & him at his peak.
Yeezus is the hreatest thing ever - then during his KSG to JIK era he s***ted on it and called it a dark place n basically devil music.
Grad is the ultimate performance sound - other times hes called it a sold out album for the radio & fame.
TLOP is the ultimate artistic freedom- other times he days he couldnt go as far with TLOP and "evolving" as much as he would have liked & its kinda meh since its nit its "true" form.
Etc.
These arent one time things either he flips from them being great to bad to meh etc. his whole career since the start of WTT - which he also flip flopped on.
I think the only projects he hasnt s***ted n flip flopped on are 808s & Donda 1.
He truly is a bi-polar adhd cant make up his mind pretends nothing ever happened yesterday like a kid ass nigga.
It got especially egregious during Yeezus, Ye & JIK eras of the flip flopping on his pass works.
Doesnt make it right & I agree it is frusturating especially since he cant firmly place a side or finished thought on them, but its how hes been since the 2010s.
LR, Yeezus & MBDTF are my top 3 personal albums regardless.

you're a very clever guy rocky 2023

No for example rockstar made is just perceived to be more experimental than something like maria i'm drunk due to the nature of the song despite the latter probably being more experimental

What if I legit do not care about lyrics from either of them and never have

that means you’re capable of rational thought unlike the people itt
Swag.

Let bro say this but with a smokers cough voice that you can’t even understand the first several listens and all is forgiven
Todays lesson is on d***riding and these niggas is displaying a masterclass in it
only on KTT will niggas call dudes like Navy Blue boring or criticize Kendrick for making “critic bait” while simultaneously criticizing Travis Scott for lack of lyrical substance
Literally baffling why this discourse is happening now rather than back on Rodeo, Birds or Astroworld
THIS NIGGA BEEN TALKING ABOUT NOTHING, BUT IT SOUNDS COOL SO I LIKE IT 🗣️ 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Putting lyrics aside carti puts a lot emotion behind his bars while Travis sounds like a robot
