Simple and Plain.

This some real witness greatness s*** happening rn

No one is more influential rn man

Time to start making comparisons.

With what output

I love carti but we cant compare him to a man who made amazing music like an ai machine

Damn near every verse was immaculate for like 7 years straight

that’s unfortunate as f*** because Wayne had like a 5-6 year run of giving you lyrically dense and first of its kind raps. You could say that doesn’t matter but then why is prime mixtape Wayne still the metric to compare Niggas to then lol

Carti is just great at stylistic things and never fumbled the momentum he came in with as a trendsetter but hardly ever really be saying anything or even tries to be witty.

If he couldn’t dress and didn’t have all the “tastemaker” intangibles/Rocky and Ian co signs hed be where uno and fauni are lol

Like for example niggas are excited to see him cosplay future for his next album me included. It’s cool but it’s like people have already committed to putting Carti on a prime Wayne prime Kanye level no matter what he actually does

They are not the same Wayne’s a martian

Can’t compare these niggas to Wayne. That era and run was just different. On a commercial and underground and street music level.

That isn’t even to mention how much more influential Wayne is than Carti is just generally. Carti’s influence is primarily contained to his label and the underground, it’s pretty niche compared to the scale of Wayne’s influence (Kendrick, Thug, Uzi, Keef) and that’s not even lazily factoring in that he put on Drake and Nicki too.
