Literally used to describe any and everything, but there’s no real concrete meaning. A album that’s absolute dogshit will get called mid and then call a solid 7-8/10 project mid it makes zero sense to me

Not good

Not good but not garbage

moron

5/10

One listen classic

Pretty sure I only listened to dark lane demos once

Rhymes with JID

it doesn’t mean anything

it’s the same thing as “no replay value” or “came and went” or “aged terribly”

just buzzwords to throw at a project to detract from it

Mid = average

That’s what I thought at first but it genuinely has no meaning anymore

J Cole

Not bad not super good either, just middle of the road, the term became used more when it became super easy to make an OK song with a beat made of loops and a rapper just sounding cool over the beat.

middelmatig

Ever read Goldilocks? All mama bears s*** was mid; her bed , her porridge, her motion in her lil ass shack, all mid.

/thread

obviously most things will be middling, actual greatness and being legitimately bad are rare in this era where you can easily get passable quality beats from youtube, a decent mix, pirate recording software, etc

Background music

MIDiocre

This site used to talk about “replay value” all the time lol I wonder why it’s never brought up anymore

weed that’s gon piss you off bc it ain’t gon get you that high but not exactly dirt weed

replace weed with music

but yea people use it to describe everything now lol

You’re giving this album too much credit

Real one listen classic
