carti & ASAP probably have the GOAT beat selection and the production really elevates them

carti is a vibe and all but can still be pretty trash at times. I feel a lot of beats are wasted on him when they coulda been for someone else that could really spit :ehh:

Nah, his style fits those beats more than what a more lyrical would do on it.

The original Magnolia for example is a better song than all the spitters that got on it.

Carti is good for what he is. That said, Pierre Bourne is probably my favorite producer the last 4 years. Those early beats he got to Carti were on another level.

The Life of Pierre 4 (deluxe version) is a straight up vibe if you have not listened to it yet and like Carti's older beats, some clever bars and catchy melodies/singing lines.

No. Carti makes the a vibe. I've heard other rappers on Pierre Bourne beats and it's :russell:
