When WLR dropped on Christmas it felt like it took the entire internet by storm. We all know how polarized the initial reaction was but everyone was talking about it. WLR has 3 features (2 good ones) and outside of cryptic messages/IG posts did it really have that much commercial promo?

DONDA on the other hand had 20 listening parties and a presidential run promo, and CLB got delayed several times and both had the whole industry on its track list. Yes both were more commercially successful BUT

Feels like WLR has had a bigger and more organic impact on the culture. Outside of select songs (W2S, Jail, Fair Trade) everything else kind just came and went. WLR is growing more popular by the day and it’s influence is already being felt.

Carti didn’t have to rely on commercialized beef or gimmicks to push this album and will probably shift the culture once again with Narcissist while his superiors are tap dancing for J Prince trying to release max security prisoners

Thoughts?

Like all Carti did was post hard vampire fits and he came out on top

Real music is winning once again

agreed on all points

also, it's just a better album. still getting plenty of spins a year later.

Because gen Z loves carti. We are the old heads now. It’s been 10 years

WLR is a classic…the momentum for the album was unreal.

wlr > donda > clb

just from impact standpoint

all three on tour would be greatest tour ever

CAUSE IT WAS

YEAH CARTI , CARTI AND CARTI

cuz carti has the strongest echo chambers of any rapper

It wasn't a bigger moment than either, the tour is bigger than the album and the reason for that is because his fans are either wylin or harassing rico.

And his fans are very loud

Not at all what the hell lmao

Terrible excuse

Never too much (uh), never too much (yeah, uh)
Never too much (yeah, uh), never too much (uh)
Never too much (what? Uh), never too much (what? Uh)
Never too much (what? Uh), never too much (what? Bih)

Carti ran 2021 there’s no doubt

Prob cause Carti finally dropped something good. Drake and Kanye had already dropped good projects before. First time for Carti

this year from literally front to back was cartis year

“finally”

That’s cap fr

S/T came out 2017

Die Lit came out 2018

All carti known for this year was his fans harassing rico and being a deadbeat

Wlr sold 100k and just went gold

Durk’s The voice dropped after, never sold more than 70k in one week and is already platinum
