I think this is ironically the perfect comparison to be fair. Jeff hardy while not being the best on the mic, was borderline worshipped by many in the late 2000s because of his cool look and cool ass moves and daredevil stunts, you were not a real one as a kid if you didn’t try to front flip off something onto a family member or friend lol
With playboi carti he isn’t exactly the best lyricist by a long shot, he does however seems to flow well over some of the most interesting and cutting edge beats of the last 5 years I’d say, as well as being a huge trendsetter and tastemaker as well with many (25 and younger) audiences as well, he’s ironically more hip hop in a way than most “traditional” hip hop artist out rn lol.
