Both had projects in 2018 that were universally well received and loved (Die Lit and KSG)
Both built up immense hype for an album and scrapped it (Yandhi and WLR consisting of the original leaks)
Carti stuck gold with the baby voice on Pissy Pamper but ran it into the ground by Pain/@meh
Kanye struck gold with the mumble rap on Puppet but ran it into the ground by Nah Nah Nah
Both dropped projects that weren't well received but stuck to their artistic vision (JIK and WLR)
Whole lotta red was well received
Upon release it was not well received by a majority. At the very least it was polarizing.
Puppet?...
Verse 3: Kanye West
You lost, son, and you've been tryna find your way to me
Ayy, to me, he's on somethin' that I hate to see
A to Z, nah son, I'm gonna take a breathe
Run a 'thon, I just stop and I'ma take the breathe
...on a...
...on a...
First, light the weed
First...
First... (Got me by a string)
First... (Got me by a string)
First... (Got me by a string)
(Oh, Lord)
It’s intentional
You think so? I was thinking about this earlier and it clicked to me that Carti is the only artist besides Kanye who would squander huge hype to stick to their vision.
