I liked Saint Michael a lot but this is his strongest LEAD single in a while if you ask me

this is what the streets needed

Its kinda s***

Trippie so washed man idek what to suggest anymore

This man has really done everything atp in an attempt to get back buzzing

Collab tape with MGK
Hyperpop project
Rock project
FIVE instalments in the ALLTY series
Rage/Glo Beat project
Teased LAT2

Like bro, what direction do you even go in any more after none of it really sticks

At 1:34 he tried a mid-song switch to a deeper voice like Carti on 2024

Awful

You really think he did all that as an attempt into.getting a buzz and not just cause he wanted too? Lol it'd fine to not like it but it's dismissive. He just likes to make all those types of music.

Also you can suggest based on the person, for.ykunger people TAK is their go to with trippie for older people who like RnB s*** its Pegasus strange enough. Aounclpud fans it's allty series, meth heads it's MM, middle America is the Saint Michael Ep, white people who don't like modern rap but are like 17 years old, the mgk ep. Etc
The fun in having a variety of projects is plenty to choose from. All may not be your cup of tea but he not trying to do anything but make music

You're ed, it's a young thug inflection like he did on yell oh and 4 of their other collaboration and Aquafina (leak from 2019) where he does that deep voice s*** as a homage to thug, carti is not the forefather of that s***, maybe to anyone under 23

ppl always wanna d***ride Carti and act like Trippie is copying him, as if Carti wasn’t asking Trip to write songs for him

Trippie never gets his credit

Unfortunately he won't but as a fan I've accepted it.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Trippie, I’ll always peep his new stuff, and i’ve always found something enjoyable across all of his projects apart from MM, because that was absolute indefensible garbage

And yeah, it’s cool he has such a variety, but just because he can channel other styles, doesn’t necessarily mean he does it particularly well

He can pretend all he wants that he isn’t chasing hits or commercial success, but let’s be real, none of his projects since TAK have been received positively by listeners

Having said that, I thought Saint Michael EP was a step in the right direction, some really great tracks on that, and it was an example of him making a more balanced, cohesive project that still managed to demonstrate the variety in his sound

Too bad it was just a 2 part EP

Also one of the best tracks was pulled from streaming ffs

yk he signed a deal for $30 million hes just pumping out as much bs to pay it back

It’s sorta felt like this since Pegasus tbh

tbh I really love Pegasus, its one of his strongest albums imo

I feel like that was part of the peak

TAK was the beginning of his decline to me

song is aight, feels a bit too carti coded for my own liking at times though lol

i think i liked bando kid more

It's over. He had a good run though, much longer than anyone else from his era. It's wild when you realize he's 6 years deep now

It's never over lol he ain't even 26, I hate a it's over narrative for certain artists especially those with fanbases from strictly music. He's doing fine, all about rebuilding even if the public thinks there's a fall off

Carti?

This nigga is trash
