i think a large portion of it is that Carti has a way stronger aesthetic than any of those experimental artists that you named, and plus he’s just seen as “cool” so it’s not embarrassing to listen to essentially
Danny Brown, JPEGMAFIA, Death Grips, etc. and anyone adjacent are artists that regularly get called “white people” music or “scaring the hoes” music and a large part of it is they just aren’t seen as “cool” tbqh
Carti rarely gets that treatment on here even though you could easily argue his music would fit the bill of the labels above, if they were actually all about the music they would also be at least aware or open to the other artists you listed, but it’s clear that’s not the only box they have to check
Real
“Disqualifies my take”
Please read my post literally right about this one
“IDC IF HE WASN’T THE FIRST, WLR SOUNDS UNIQUE ASF TO ME & THAT’S ALL I CARE ABOUT”
I’m not arguing with you on if he was the first i’m simply saying WR sounded extremely unique to me & I am agreeing with Nike duffle bags. That’s it! My opinion matters btw! Everyone on here does!
But you’re not acknowledging WHY it sounds unique to you
It sounds unique to you because you didn’t listen to Future thats not a valid opinion bro that’s like it I say I never liked the Beatles so Oasis is unique to me.
Not all opinions are valid lol straight up
So you never listened to any future projects? I wonder why Carti appealed more

No!! I have listened to him before, his 10s classics, but they were only one-listen spins cause they didn’t click with me.
Why can’t I just say it sounds unique to me? Why do I have to have an essay, saying “this sounds unique cause Future/SGP didn’t do this sound in 06”
Why do I have to explain my reasoning for music being unique?
You take this s*** wayyyy too seriously friend, it’s music
What Future tape sounds like wlr?
Vocally, all of them
The beats on WLR do take on a cohesive sound I’ll give it that. Future doesn’t have an album that sticks to that sound the whole way through but his more aggressive songs aren’t that far off, I’d just have to find a future song with an organ or video game synths on it

Bro I’m a real Future stan lol and WLR sounded fresh to me. M3tamorphosis, King Vamp, Stop breathing, etc

U said carti was doing a future impression all over wlr just because their vocals are similar tho??? None of future projects sound like that album and I’m not even a big fan of it.

I do take music serious
I think there’s too much uninformed discourse out there that hides behind “just my opinion!”
Even opinions can be wrong especially when they’re based on faulty logic
Like sure it can sound unique to you. But it really doesn’t matter at all that Carti’s music sounds unique to someone who never really listened to future lol.
That can be your personal experience, sure, but when you start putting that in a debate/discourse like this as if it means something, it’s like, your lack of experience making it unique TO YOU doesn’t hold that much weight lol I’m sorry fam. Might seem uppity but we need more gatekeeping at this point fr

Honestly man I’m not even reading. WLR sounds extremely unique to me & I love it. Ty for your time
U said carti was doing a future impression all over wlr just because their vocals are similar tho??? None of future projects sound like that album and I’m not even a big fan of it.
I meant specifically as a vocalist he’s doing impressions. I would call the album Future impressions over a bed of organs, video game synths and basic trap drums. The production is certainly more unique than the vocals, but making trap beats with a certain instrumental pallet only gets so many points from me

Ur right bro, mfs just waffling, carti future influenced but he doin got a single tape that sounds like wlr.

The whole “Carti sounds like future” stuff comes from how some of the songs sound when you slow them and pitch down Cartis voice.
because most of this site is filled with Carti truthers and JPEG, Danny etc are always dismissed as white people music, dude
he didn’t just make up that post in thin air with no basis for it
I think it's because Carti started on traditional trap production then eased his fanbase into this current vibe
Honestly man I’m not even reading. WLR sounds extremely unique to me & I love it. Ty for your time
Lol see this what I’m talking about
Thought you were better than that. You wanted to be a part of this discussion but don’t have anything to contribute beyond “but my opinion!”
carti haters have s*** taste in music anyway so who cares about their opinion

His cadence kinda similar in the verses too but that’s it.

Nah I never heard any of that, I heard the inflections on WLR first listen
I’m not even talking to you man
yeah vibes fried y’all brains for sure lmao
I remember when this verse had the game in a vice grip. Sure you can point to some s*** that might’ve been vaguely similar but nothing quite scratched the same itch like this did
