    He absolutely was

    Now don’t get me wrong, Some of the stuff he was saying was real. He obviously grew up around violence

    But wouldn’t that just also make him a dumbed down rapper?

    I dont think he's dumbed down: he was 16 when he became famous with very little formal education. He was pretty articulate in his music if you look past the slang etcetera. He has a lot of quotables.

    He also has verses in which his delivery and lyrics were very poignant in a way that ive never heard Carti do.

    Verse starts around 2:10

    I also put huge blame on Eminem and the Hopsin types

    They managed to make being “lyrical” so uncool and nerdy that people just straight up didn’t want to do it anymore

    This sounds like a joke but I’m 100% serious

    i forget it's a pandemic album sometimes you're right that album is hella influential and it's not even 4 years old yet

    My Turn was a covid album too. Heroes and Villains was right when pandemic ended

    i forget how big these albums were sometimes because everything moves at such a rapid pace rn that it's really hard to gauge and process what is successful in the long term. doesn't help that COVID f***ed everything up

    WLR and EA began the decade. Covid hurt both their max impact but it was still there

    They just were not good.

    I’m not understanding how you can’t see this is dumbed down

    Dudes having been rapping about s*** like this since the 90s

    Except they were actually good as f*** at rapping

    Every generation since has continuously dumbed it down. Now we’re at a point where we got guys like Yeat just straight up making goofy noises

    if you cant see how this is different than what the majority of 90s rappers were doing then....
    Only rappers who remind me of this from the 90s are Dblock and i guess 50
