We’ve already seen this with Ye and Wayne.

As rappers get older, is forgetting lyrics going to be a common symptom as they start to age?

We’ve really never seen rap go this long. Sure they’re are people like LL, Wu, OutKast who can probably still recite word for word. But they don’t have nearly the amount of material that the ye’s, Wayne’s have.

So are we gonna start seeing more and more rappers forgetting their lyrics as time goes on?

"Will aging people start to forget things?"

have yall been to a carti show? Mfs dont care anymore and its a tad disappointing. It's all about the "vibe" now

Not sure what this means, but thanks for the contribution

Lol no I haven’t.

Ye doesnt forget lyrics because he ages, he “forgets” because he never wrote them

if I can remember the lyrics to thousands of songs then they should be able to remember the lyrics to dozens of songs (that are their own songs at that)

we shouldn't tolerate performers who just jump around out of breath and rely on crowd and atmosphere to carry them. we need better standards for live rap

its a real good time. But he pretty much yells for an hour while the crowd carries the show

I agree with you but i don’t think it matters for carti and artists like him because the lyrics aren’t what draws ppl to their music

This is what I don’t understand

Like you said, if we can know lyrics to literally thousands of different songs, why can’t they remember a 10-20 set list that they’ve probably performed hundreds of times?

These new niggas don’t care bro they “freestyle” most of their songs anyways so you think they’re gonna remember some bullshit they popped out in 5 minutes lol

Good point

Uzi and Carti don’t sing their lyrics knowing ur lyrics is old news now we leaving that s*** in the past

Wayne be high half the time.

And Ye isn’t writing those lines, Sean is.

This doesn’t give me much hope for rap.

If goats are forgetting lyrics, what can I except from these young guys?

Nas and Jay (and Drake) are like the last great rap performers

(And Drake isn’t even THAT good of a performer 🤷🏾‍♂️)

Yuck

Also, if these dudes doin as much opiates as they say they are its really no surprise they go on stage and sway they body while dudes in vlone shirts record the entire show for snapchat

Not as long as niggas f***ing rehearse

Corny

i kinda like what carti had going on

felt like we were all listening to the album together. felt like a religious moment

You know every single word to thousands of songs ?

But you never see this with singers. Only rappers

*hundreds

Yes

Is it asking too much of them to at least remember the lyrics to the set list for that night?
