If you’re 35+ you’re old and theres really no reason you should be listening to Carti’s music. This shyt is for teens/early 20 somethings. I have little cousins in middle/highshool that love his shyt

Oldheads need to just stay in their lane. This shyt isnt for yall and its okay
You're screaming into a void. Anybody can just say this without any critical thought or nuance

Nikkas ain't coming into a damn near 3 year old thread to hate on Whole Lotta Red:mjlol: everybody in here likes Carti's music to some degree

Any dissenting opinion being dismissed as "this just ain't for y'all" is lazy

The irony of you saying this is the last few posts have been about Carti's appeal to nikkas that try to sound smarter than they are

Your post was a lazy opinion that you've been trained to say:manny:

Breh… here’s some advice, commas and periods are your friend. Had a hard time even understanding wtf you just typed. Ironic for you to call anyone lazy given that :dead:

Anyways, If you think that’s an attempt to sound smart, the intellectual bar is low for you I see. You must be one of these out of touch old heads in this thread. No wonder you’re shouting at the clouds on a Saturday night.

As someone whose around kids through volunteering and mentorship, WLR is considered a great album to many of them, and THATS OKAY. This new generation has different taste and what they deem is acceptable/talented. Carti is on some punk/rock star shyt to these kids. Its old Out of touch negroes like you in this thread that can’t see that “ but, but i miss the old Carti :mjcry:” there’s a reason his sold out shows are filled with young kids.

This is coming from someone who was a fan of Carti since the awful record days.

It has nothing to do with age since the sounds Carti is biting from is from older eras (nu metal, punk rock, industrial rock). I know a ton of young nikkas who hopped off the Carti train with WLR because they want that Die Lit sound. Some have circled back to now rock with the album but lets not make this an age thing or rewrite history.

This would make sense if younger kids actually grew up in this era. And carti’s aesthetic is a bite off punk. His music doesn’t really have nu metal influence at all. Weezy and F1lthy production doesn’t even have a numetal sound lmao. He’s just trying to be a rockstar on some marilyn manson shyt with the way he dresses and acts. Kinda like how uzi was shifting towards. Please post some reference tracks of Carti with a numetal/punk sound.

It has everything to do with age because you go to his concerts and its mostly 18-22 year olds. My little cousin was just at rolling loud for his set. He’s NOT for old nikkas.

It doesn't matter what "you grew up in." The musical references are old.

Also there are CLEAR nu metal influences in WLR up to this new rockstar song he just premiered lol. Marilyn Manson is nu metal adjacent which all leads back to industrial rock (Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails).

Carti himself is old and his original core base is late 20s lol. Yes he has a lot of young fans but nothing you said makes sense.

Still waiting for examples.. nothing else you’re saying is relevant. And quite honestly, you seem out of touch. Carti is 26 years old. That’s not “old”.You wake up on a Sunday morning and the first thing you do is utter nonsense. Atleast wait till the sun comes out.

Carti turns 27 this year and has a decade in the rap game. He is old.

You cited Marilyn Manson while trying to deny nu metal and industrial influences lol. You're so hilariously lost.

Every new wave exists because people need to feel a part of something. That's what each generation is looking for.

It's not necessarily about something being objectively "good" sonically or not.

People need a feeling of connection more than they need "good" music. That's what you're seeing here.

It's funny that Mike Dean liked this post.

1. 27 is not old. How long you’ve been a game has no bearing on your biological clock. A 23 year old could be in the game since 13, that still doesn’t mean he’s old. One of the first signs of someone being intellectually backed into a corner during an argument is when one tries to move the goal post, like you continue to still do. My niece formulates better arguments than you.

2. I literally admitted he has nu metal influence aesthetically wise in my prior post. You really are one dumb remedial mothafukka who lacks reading comprehension skills. Pathetic ass still couldn’t post any reference tracks after I specifically asked twice. Shameful and embarassing. You came in the thread on a Sunday morning drooling on the keyboard because I struck a nerve about the old head comment. Don’t even bother replying.

27 is old in rap. Uzi, for example, had a whole schtick that when he turned 27 he was going to join the 27 club because he didn't want to be old lol. Sorry to tell you that. And 10 years is relevant because the people who first listened to Carti in 2013/2014 are now 27-35. I went to the first ever Carti show (with Pollari and Awful records) and graduated in the same HS system a class above so I'm not speculating like you are. The old/young babble to describe why Carti is polarizing is quintessential dumb nikka logic.
