You're gonna wake up couple years from now and look at the s*** you're posting about WLR being a classic and say to yourself "why was I so cringe pretending this s*** is any good?"
Die Lit on the other hand was amazing
WLRs only flaw is that it panders to die lit babies in the second half. Should’ve went full on with the aggressive tracks
I honestly couldn't pick
Carti executed his vision perfectly on both projects
WLR is certainly riskier and more experimental, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the superior album. There is really no greater feeling than listening to Die Lit on a summers day
I feel like on WLR Carti architectures a new sound, while Die Lit was a demonstration that that bubbly/breezy/trap/SoundCloud era sound still could be innovated upon
WLR a more personal project though too, and has the most introspection Carti has ever provided in his music
F*** typing this out I realise it's hopeless to try and rank one above the other
Ultimately the stark contrast in sound & composition of both albums is indicative of a TRUE artist - Carti is continually evolving

What if WLR was his second album and Die Lit was his third? Do you feel like that’s a good progression?
The run from Track 9 - Track 15 on Die Lit though
Home (KOD)
Fell in Luv
Foreign
Pull Up
Mileage
Flatbed
No Time

I agree with you all the way. Die lit is still the best summer album, but WLR has carti at his rawest, most personal, and present form. Like he really proved that he doesn’t get carried by beats on that album

Exactly
It's like trying to compare Graduation & 808s
You really can't
They are both going after completely different things
Die lit is great, probably one of my most listened albums of all time, but WLR is such a tearful ode to a dead relative
What if WLR was his second album and Die Lit was his third? Do you feel like that’s a good progression?
No I feel like WLR is overhyped and there are guys out there doing same thing Carti tried to do with WLR and KTT would call them trash. It just doesn't work no matter what.
Whenever I see someone post a IG story riding a car listening to s*** like No Sleep I'm like
If WLR was his second album no one would want a third...

Personally hated carti's music till he dropped wlr. Incredible album...
Amazing seeing takes like this
Just goes to show how much of a artistic risk he took with the sound of WLR
nah and i didn't feel that way when it released either
WLR deniers aging like s*** >>>>>>>
