dont know how u can listen to tracks like love hurts or choppa wont miss and say carti is carried by prod ... those beats are barebones as hell

think it's the other way around, anyone else (besides thugger or uzi) would sound bland as f*** on his records.

his vocals are unique, engaging and fun.

He doesn't.

All of the beats he hops on are just blank canvases until Sir Cartier douses it with his vocal drip.

Sure, the production is cool. But if they were given to someone other than him?

Yeah, exactly. All the reactions you'd see would be "yeah this is cool... but imagine if Carti was on this omg!"

Why? -- Because he takes a beat and makes it a grandeur body of work.

He brings the best out of what the beat itself has to offer, not to mention the collaborative efforts he could offer during a session.

You could trace back such artistic, intricate traits to more archaic times as well; perhaps, his lineage holds more than the average genetics as most artists.

I'm talking about the Leonardo da Vincis, the Raphaels, the Michalangelos, the Einsteins, the Galileos -- dare I say all aforementioned share a stream of consciousness concurrent to Carti's ethereal levee of potential?

It may be too soon to tell, but the reflections are there. However, the fact remains that the beats don't make Carti -- it is Carti who makes the beat into a symphony.

are all yb stans just meatheads

I was into a small Carti phase for like a week. Now I’m quickly getting tired of him. If it wasn’t for the great production, he really wouldn’t be anywhere. That goes for most trap rappers.

these posts and a***ysis of what Carti adds to a beat (lmao he's an instrument!) are gonna be so funny to look at in 5-6 years when music has completely changed and the ability to go "ooh aye yuh ooh" as a 30+ year old man is as relevant to the music landscape then as the niggas who made s*** like hit em wit da flex ricky bobby and stanky legg in 2020

With the adlibs and everything Carti more becomes a part of the beat than raps over it. It’s just an energy that his music has; s***s just extremely fun to listen to.

lmao

yo wtf

His voice and lyrics aren’t really meant to be overanalyzed. If you don’t like that, cool.

Carti is ASS at rapping

ooh yuh ayee! <3

lmaoo again this type of a***ysis is gonna be hilarious to look back on in 5-10 years when Carti either has to drastically switch it up to survive or falls off completely and turns into a model/socialite

lol lack of talent and skill became "innovation" this decade.

lil b and soulja boy are two of the most innovative rappers of the past 20 years in terms of being the sacrificial zeitgeist shifters. migos and thug too but they were the first ones

Isn’t really an a***ysis. Production is key to Carti’s music, pretty much everyone in this thread is admitting that. Nobody is saying you have to like his music

i love his music and it will be a strong representative of what the 2010's was musically

the idea of him being some super innovative artist when its really just his engineers and producers making a diamond out of s*** because he's the one with the connections and visibility is hilarious

but again time will show what im saying more than anything i can type lol

Fair enough

no likes on your post cuz it’s f***ing trash

what carti gonna do when nigga 32 or even 28-29 and its a whole new generation of kids who do something even more minimalistic and gimmicky

lol the same way people thought wayne's metaphors were goofy and he "talked about nothing" in the 2000's (i used to argue with niggas from New York in middle school on Wayne behalf lmao)

and now 04-07 Wayne is Rakim compared to all the new kids. Hell, even 2010 - now Wayne.

carti gets carried by his aesthetic

Even if Carti is a “vocalist” like some of you are saying, he has one of the worst voices I’ve ever heard. So he’s trash asf at that too

Carti mid now

thread is a mess, stream s/t and die lit tho

the cashcarti slander is crazy
