Zelly Ocho is a great example of this
Zelly Ocho does not make rage bc of Yeat
Zelly Ocho is Trippie and K Suave’s friend which is why he makes “rage”
I agree tbh, the sound is incredibly stale and boring now
Also agree with it being not Yeat's fault or any slight to him, he's actually a rather original artist and I used to quite like his music but now everyone's just run with the production sound and it's miserable
I think using elements of rage beats in ur music is fine but yea just making generic rage beats is wack
Yeat has evolved tho so idk why he would be the issue
I mean Yeat has always been terrible and there was never anything special/unique about his music so none of this should be a surprise.
Call me a fossil but I could never be a YEAT fan
The retirement home is cozy brother, we also have better music
It’s like what happened after WLR but even more shamelessly derivative and widespread
I think it’s because while Carti is more of outlier, Yeat seems simpler
(He’s not but his image isn’t as esoteric / unique on the surface)
But listen to any project released in the past year by an artist with under 40k on instagram who’s been posted by Hyperpop Daily and you’ll hear a Yeat type beat
I think this speaks to how quickly people will follow a trend, especially rappers, if they think it’ll get them exposure or respect. But the second I hear a bell and an “EDM” synth on a song I lose a little interest
This is in no way a critique of Yeat himself I don’t think he intended to do this
If you want some original + organic underground rap you should listen to Dom corleo bro he got his own wave and he just dropped!
f*** the year clones d***riding other rappers is lame asf
The retirement home is cozy brother, we also have better music
Yall old farts need to be more in touch with the culture like myself and Funkmaster Flex
I usually don’t let an artists fans put me off from the actual artist but I can’t do it with Yeat and Carti fans. I’ll take Drake or Em Stan’s any day over them
Spotify did this s*** with sophie. Started posting sophie production clones on hyperpop playlist (even tho its pc music) and it felt disrespectful af. Rip tho
Painfully real
That’s why I respect Cudi, he tapped in with BNYX (who is a huge Cudi fan) but didn’t say “gimme a Yeat type beat” he made him make him something more open and positive for the summer, more in Cudis lane, and Cudi bodied the track too
But the Cudi hate groupthink meme will have you thinking it’s “trash” and “Cudi fell off” when it’s literally one of Cudis best vocal performances in years
You’re right but it goes back to Thug Future Carti Uzi Keef Migos and that honestly goes back to Wayne lol
The old heads were kinda right 15 years ago but we’re beyond it now. Once it got to the point where “anyone could do it” with good beats and mixing/effects it died
being better than everyone can ruin things. same way they used to say things like “Young Thug makes every other rapper sound unnecessary”
I mean Yeat has always been terrible and there was never anything special/unique about his music so none of this should be a surprise.
