Not gonna lie ALL RED was a huge letdown. I still think he's one of the most creative hip-hop artists of this "new wave" or whatever you want to call it though so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Self titled, Die Lit and WLR are still really cool albums, I feel like he's got worse as a rapper but better as an artist if it make any sense
Why should he rap for a reason? To satisfy you and anyone who agrees?
Acknowledge you’re not entitled to anything and its not for you, so find something else
It's not "just for me", someone who considers themselves a rapper should at least earn the respect of the audience by proving it.
I'm not expecting crazy bars from someone like Carti but the bar is set so low nowadays from what is acceptable from an artist who calls themselves a "rapper".
Don't believe me? Go look at other people who've said the same thing. Maybe they aren't as brutal as I'm being but the point is still the same.

They don’t have to earn anything, they’re expressing themselves and sharing it with you, that’s the fundamental of any creative expression. For you to then say, if you want my respect then earn it is wrong. The audience gravitates towards the music, the music doesn’t pick its audience, and as the music changes the audience will.
You’re treating this genre like a service, and you expect boxes to be checked, do you do that with other genres? Carti’s lyricism isn’t because of any bar, it’s because that doesn’t seem to be a focus for him, and that’s absolutely fine.
And I’m aware that many people have this idea that their wants and needs from an artists need to met but art doesn’t work like that. Idk why you’re all so adamant about it.
If you had a creative outlet (music, film, painting, design, photography) and it was unapologetically you and I really liked it, but after a while I said you suck and you should do this because I think it’s what you should be doing to be acceptable. What would you think?
He is a prime example of he is nothing without his beat selection.
He is objectively not a good rapper
He subjectively makes very catchy music over very good instrumentals
Like I have such a negative opinion on him as an actual artist but simultaneously he’s never dropped a bad project in my eyes either.
To be fair his popularity really only hit recently so that's why I associate it with new Gen music
2015 is not recent man

Define recently. Die Lit debuted at #3 on Billboard and that was 2018.
horrible comments and thread
i’m sorry it’s not 2016 anymore @op
I've just come to terms that Carti aint for me. I feel like I'm gettin trolled when I listen to him
We all know what he's capable of but obviously he'd rather do vamp lifestyle raps over cool sounding beats. i feel like after WLR i have no reason to listen to bro esp now hes doin the future/kermit voice LMAO

Chloe is the voice of reason
Yeah I just always thought I was too old, but I never really liked his music all that much
I do like die lit but after that it kinda fell off for me
same die lit had joints
David have you ever downloaded leaked tracks recorded by Carti from 2018 to 2020? Great beats and vocals
Ghost always been my s*** but I wouldn’t use that as an example of Carti spittin bars tho
Cash Carti era was Two9/Curtis Williams coded af lol but it sounded good
Lmao well we know they part of his early rise so makes sense
