Playboi Carti what what what what what what what what

the album feels like an update of c. 2014 ‘sh!t‘ and ‘danny glover’ era of weirdo bangers (even if nothing on it comes close to the level of greatness of those 2).

mentioned in the rap thread that the album this reminds me of the most is future's monster

i love how ‘teen x’ beat sets these looping squiggles of zaytovenesque melodies off each other where they’re slightly detuned and don’t perfectly line up so they clash in a way that’s playfully demented, really fits the vocals

The older leak stuff is way smoother and complacent, the new stuff is more shocking and confrontational, it’s a new mode for him which is exciting, esp considering I was getting kind of tired of the sameyness of the leak tracks. I like the more active, aggro tone; the way he makes his vocals cut in and out feels more alive and less drowsy than a lot of the leak stuff Imo... I don’t just think this is an interesting variation but makes his earlier stuff seem a bit plain

reggie cartaaaa, that's my brothaaaa

started listening to this and that fucking kanye verse still stops this album dead in its tracks

yep, that's the track i skip.

thought this revive was going to be about his fans assaulting rico nasty practically every night on their tour

haven't heard about that but that's straight garbage. rico is an amazing live performer and if the weird nerds at carti's show can't understand the concept of an "opening act" they can fuck themselves

*hadn't heard til now

yah didn't know anything about that, sounds fucked up
