Playboi Carti - Whole Lotta Red (Discussion Thread)

[ShaDynasty]

Carti has a lot of heat. People slept on this because it wasn't like his debut sound but he knew what he was doing with this one.

This album has been one of the most influential the last few years, so many up and coming rappers and beatmakers took the template from this album. When you hear how hard it is to do well, you have to respect Carti songwriting.

It’s gonna be looked back as either a classic or an incredibly solid body of work. Super ahead of his time.

I really wish people had the chance to see him perform this album live

His Rolling Loud performance in NY last year when he did Stop Breathing, On That Time & Jumpoutthehouse

Trash

How you claim to be a rockstar and cant perform your shyt live? And no, “singing” 4% of your track while u dance and scream into the aether isnt considered worth paying money to me.

I cant recall any band that is as consistently underwhelming live as these new rappers

His stardom right now is due to people saying he’s the greatest performer (not vocally)

Same with Travis Scott and Uzi

Their type of music would be terrible with live bands (even though I know he has some people up there playing guitar riffs ) and no vocal backing

But what is he really doing

At least uzi can do his lil fruity dances. Carti just cosplays as a vampire and screams while his actual talent “the band” does work.

And I fukks with carti music in general but as a performer shyt is embarrassing. Ive been to a shytload of concerts and even tho Im a fan of rap its a very small list of cats I would pay for cuz these nikkas dont take they craft seriously, and why should they when you can be dogshyt and get called a good performer

Why is he still classified as a rapper? This the disrespectful shyt to the art where just being a young black man they call you rap. These dudes are no longer rappers, they’re limp biz kit, pappa roach, linkin park with a dash of punk rock and hair metal. They should be classified under rock like all those bands were

They wont do that because then they would be beholden to the expectations of actually performing live music

Pretentious cac writing trying to give shyt a mystique and "rock star" imagery. They tried the same thing when they were trying to give Thug a push

Carti's image is also based on trying to get shyt like that written about him
