Is playboi carti the worst most successful rapper of all time?

[M4T]

Not every rapper has to be lyrical but at least be good sonically. Playboi carti just sounds like nails on the chalkboard. He ruins every song with that stupid baby voice. And yeat should just drop instrumentals.

Carti is in the same lane as Travis Scott to me: Vibe rappers who can make very good music that isn't lyric focused.

I don't even rate them as rappers like that but more so as music makers who happen to rap.

Musically, Carti isn't really that bad if you understand what lane he's in.

Youngboy is worse to me because I find his music much worse and he's being touted as a good emcee/songwriter which is bad because it's lowering the standards. At least Carti stays in his lane and doesn't present himself as an emcee.

But Travis Scott is still a decent songwriter and he didn't start as an autotune rapper. These guys don't have songs just run on sentences and adlibs

Carti is at least different even tho it’s not coherent

Travis Scott only became popular ripping Swae Lee, and he has no bars.

 

[Mag Wheel]

I think Master P and Nelly are worst than Carti. At the very least he sounds different. P and Nelly were garbage ass rappers.

Carti shows how much people want something different. It dont matter if he sucks, his beats different his flows and cadence is unique and thats all people care about. Tell spitters they need to be different then you'll see them in the mainstream again

This. There's a reason why rappity rappers and lyricists fell out of favor [for the vast majority of people].

Not only do níggas who gas up that flavor of hip-hop not actually buy records, but they, mostly, aren't savvy regarding checking for what new/upcoming rappers who fit that mold drop, so they're essentially stuck in a period of nostalgia because they run back old records repeatedly.

Lastly, most of those kats have a consistently bad ear for beats, which is why Kendrick and Cole are damn near the only prominent lyricists that move units.

YB is one of the best songwriters in his age group by far

 

[Capitol]

Trust me OP, once you’ve tapped into the wavelength that young man is on, you’ll think he’s a fukking musical savant.

I Am Music clicked for me. Went back to listen to Red and was blown away.

So he got yall under hypnosis?

 

[Jasonmask]

Yall music taste is washed im not surprised

 

[CrimsonTider]

Yeat and NBA are definitely runner ups
At least silk the shocker had good hooks and beats.

Lyricism is corny. Grow up

 

[Neuromancer]

Can any of these young nikkas actually rap?

 

[obarth]

I think the answer is Birdman

 

[Marc Spector]

I think Master P and Nelly are worst than Carti. At the very least he sounds different. P and Nelly were garbage ass rappers.

Vanilla Ice, Drake and Baby

Carti has trash ass songs but he also made that classic known as Fetti

 

[TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY]

NBA, Chief KEef, King Von, Quando Rondo, Young Thug, Nardo Wick, I'm sure there are more I'm missing

Nah Von was dope asf and lived it
