my bad that sounds nice you're a good person

Because these newer rappers look up to Uzi, Carti, and Juice as their primary influences.

chill on me we have the same aoty ... we're distant cousins

I still want someone to acknowledge this because the miles parallel is really interesting coming directly from earl

I agree with this take but even with that now I feel it’s diluted, they like the “aesthetic” of being a weird nigga without actually being a weird nigga and not having the technical appreciation

Atleast uzi and juice, prob Carti most in that camp grew up in the mixtape era, were listening to prime Gucci, Wayne, future, had older cousins and s*** putting them on to pac and stuff. and then on top of that they genuinely like the “alt” s*** at the time for black kids like pop rock or anime and whatever.

But now these guys just like the aesthetic and vibe of being a depressed loner, they grew up on streaming and internet they weren’t actually listening to the genre like Uzi and juice were hence it shows in how they reference stuff in their music or interviews

Even the latter can use a sample or cite a lyric/album in an interview or song that feels more connected and appreciative of the past

Whats ur point? U sound slow

the point was to laugh and move on man DAMN

To make this extremely reductionist, he really just justifying lean and AI usage

Oh i thought u wanted smoke my bad

Jarring reductionist and room-temp IQ comments at the end regarding technology.

Fake intellectual

I don't think he was being serious with that lmao but I hear you

He sounded quite serious to me

MIKE been 'mumbling' before he was on surfgang beats tho idk y he always got a pass for doin that over lo-fi production but suddenly now its a problem

weekly veiled Hate, pearl clutch, old man yelling at the clouds thread

it's a shame they don't see the inherent value in it as a style because a song like this is more emotive and emotional than many songs to me, and the lowkey vocals make it what it is

2 cool for school

You're clearly younger than 25, rely on AI for everything, illiterate and the reason why rap music's is dying!

like we 0verly get it lol
atp bolster the youngins that buck the trend

another day

another "old man yelliing at cloud" ass music sxn thread

just listen to another genre at this point

At this point you should know what to expect if a rapper is only dropping songs under 2 minutes

Someone point me to where I can talk about this stuff with y'all grandkids

Open Mike album is laidback with a purpose. A lot of these guys are mysterious to the point of ephemera
