Y’all remember when Hopsin tried to mock mumble rap and accidentally ended up making the best song in his entire discography

Lmao that s*** was hard af
I feel like its the opposite
if you complained about it in 2016 or whenever migos were popping then that was stupid cuz they werent even mumbling
in 2025 there are people actually mumbling
Name a few
this is definitely true of that like mid 2010s crew of rappers, like when ppl would call migos or Travis 'mumble rap'.

you mean runaway? yea he pulled off a nice satirical twist on mumble rap with that outro

never understood this bc rhq thug cudi etc were the ones mumbling but like in 2013. even future on some tracks but not all the time
the whole 2016 wave was not mumbling like that
Jon Caramanica been in the game for a minute. Was a writer for XXL, editor for Vibe and been with NYT for the last 15 years. One of the best music journalists rn
One of the best Of all time fr
like who? feel like this is pretty rare lol, and most of what would be considered "mumble rap" isnt still or is just accents being monotone/quieter

Second half
I like the song tho
This is just saying something stupid and fake profound and people gassing it up to make it seem smart. It’s a stupid statement.
His little “you from Kansas” line probably had more racial undertones than when people say they don’t like mumble rap.

honestly insane that we called migos mumble rap back then in retrospect

if you know you know

Mans calling Uzi and thug mumble rap confuses me too cuz they were SINGING and YELLING
doesnt warrant a mumble rap label to exist in any shape or form. five to ten dudes mumbling on their tracks and its an entire subsect of rap sound getting called that for some reason
Spitting
if you have an issue w lyrical content then be clear and say that, when this label came out around 2015 and was being bestowed upon Future and Migos and Uzi of all people who weren’t even mumbling it was def racist af lol. created a feedback loop where the backlash towards old heads coining this s*** got so strong that the following generation actually started mumbling. self fulfilling prophecy
Yea basically was just people not understand certain accents and s*** lol “I don’t even know what he’s saying” like ok bruh go to ATL tf
Second half
I like the song tho
Oh yeah Earl true, Earl Mike yak and veeze do it sometimes but the label rarely applies to them and it’s not enough to warrant a label I feel
where did these interviewers come from bro it feels like overnight they just appeared and now they have every artist. the setup makes me uncomfortable it's like an interrogation
Popcast is super official lol
Oh y'all already on his head lmao my b
Wild how ppl cry about fantano and zane n whatever while simultaneously don't know any other journalists or interviewers
Mumble rap has just evolved into s*** rap. Its s***. Its trash. It lacks substance, it's not even catchy, it's carried by production. Clipse really showed how it's supposed to be done. Hopefully that run and album shifts things
Oh y'all already on his head lmao my b
Wild how ppl cry about fantano and zane n whatever while simultaneously don't know any other journalists or interviewers
oh please LOL get over yourselves most people on here didn't know who this was before this s***. doesn't make him inherently a great interviewer either
if you know you know
My only complaint about Jon is that solange s***
