GNX is only radiobait in so far that it’s generic and terrible, just like most s*** in the radio. (Luther excluded)
I’m talking rap side Luther is just good music . Squabble up I agree .
luther is good yeah but it’s an obvious attempt at a radio hit
I don’t see that from hey now, peekaboo, or tv off whatsoever, they’re just very catchy
Also radio bait more commercial rap
Hey now , peekaboo, tv off are radio bait
They are drake like songs
With a west coast flair
He saw the success of nlu and doubled down on that sound is all I meant by "radio bait"
As in capitalizing on the sound that has recently found him the most mainstream success
But you say anything about Kendrick Lamar and they get all wacky over it it's insane
you only perceive those as Drake songs because YG & Mustard convinced him he was Too $hort reincarnated for a few years
I don’t listen to drake like that . I say it because of the use of repetition and limited word choice

This was proven false already, work on GNX began back in 2022, he was working with that sound before Mustard ever made the NLU beat
Iceman episode 4
Drake walks in wearing Iceman shirt
Shoots himself and fades to black
Light starts to reappear with him standing tall and firm wearing new Niceman shirt

tbh the Mustard songs with the horns are HBCU bait
the songs were literally made to be played by school bands at football games
heroin relapse music
free sinewave

I mean yeah I'm sure the west coast artist experimented with west coast music I didn't say it's the first time he ever tried it
I do think it has something to do with him including so much of it on his album
tbh the Mustard songs with the horns are HBCU bait

Aight tv off I can see to a certain extent but I still think him screaming Mustard for thirty minutes is not really an attempt to be played on the radio
That song is unhinged lmao
Radio bait for me is songs that have repetition , hook or viral moment , words that the most basic listener can repeat or rap along to so they can feel like the rapper
Gnx isn’t an overly metaphorical or lyrical album . Reincarnated great

It literally got him a deal with Heinz

GNX was already being made before Not Like Us was ever thought of though, it’s not like he course corrected after the success of NLU
It was moreso that NLU was a result of the GNX sessions rather than the other way around

that’s not radio bait, that’s just how to make a catchy song

That’s not what radio bait means lmao. Playboi Carti makes music like you described and none of his work is radio bait
that’s not radio bait, that’s just how to make a catchy song
Which works best for radio and tik tok era . Not necessarily a bad thing but it’s a thing

you kidding?? the yts memed MUSTAAAARD worse than “if young metro don’t trust you” on FSMH

Gnx was already fully finished and the tracklist was 100% decided upon before nlu came out?

Your example to Carti isn’t comparable at all .

They memed it but I genuinely can’t imagine him doing that and thinking “yeah this will work on radio”
Which works best for radio and tik tok era . Not necessarily a bad thing but it’s a thing
idk man, it’s a bit of a stretch to say a song having a chorus makes it tiktok bait
Gnx was already fully finished and the tracklist was 100% decided upon before nlu came out?
The bulk of the album was finished by then
Your example to Carti isn’t comparable at all .
It is, he makes music exactly like you described
