I can think of one good song by him, but the rest is just making incoherent noises into a microphone with autotune on.

textI hold the belief that, at a fundamental level, music is speech without language. the voice is an instrument, but does it always need to say something with language? not really. consider yodeling, scat singing, or throat singing. the words used in these styles often do not matter, allowing you to appreciate the same qualities you would in other instruments. timbre, pitch, melody, etc. obviously I'm not comparing the virtuosity of jazz vocalists like ella fitzgerald or yodelers like franzl lang to playboi carti lol.
with that said, I think playboi carti is boring as hell lmao. the production is often times really boring and basic and I don't think he has a very good command of his voice. as far as "mumble rap" goes, I much prefer young thug. obviously his lyrics are just as vapid but the way he uses his voice, the way that he goes much further in pushing his voice, makes his music just way more interesting to me. jeffery is the best mixtape of the 2010s and I will fucking die on that hill. playboi carti has too much of an ego to record a track like harambe. another example is bladee, I like a lot of the instrumentals on his albums and he comes up with pretty good melodies, but I absolutely detest the timbre of his voice. fuckin hate it. if you took an album of his like 333 and kept everything the exact same but just one-to-one replaced his voice with theremin solos, it would objectively be a better listen.
I understand the appeal of playboi carti's stuff, ppl listening to this kinda rap aren't looking for lyricism or interesting production, they're looking for a backdrop. it's ambient music. I'd rather listen to actual ambient or drone but that's just me. and quite frankly, lyricism can be exhausting. mainstream rap ala playboi, thug, future, etc, there's no intent beyond the surface, that's not the point. you don't need to understand the deeper meaning behind a bar like "all these hoes gonna flock when I drop." rappers like aesop rock, mf doom, billy woods, etc, use lyricism that's so dense and so purposeful that the best way to listen to them is to read the lyrics as they're rapping, even when they're enunciating as clearly as they do. sometimes you just gotta turn the brain off and listen to something dumb.

No, but to be fair I would image people here would be into Anime songs instead. I guess the Anime and Gaming fandom does mix so it's not completely surprising.Winnyace wrote: q371l

Well, there's nothing wrong with the music in particular. I was more so referencing a certain archetype of person that makes an extremely corny and mildly racist point of never listening to "(c)rap" because it's "all mumble trash", and, of course, the tired remarks about lyrical content that merely serve as a self-report that they have never actually tried to explore the genre. By the way, that's what elitism actually is.Winnyace wrote: q371l

generally speaking the issue is when people who listen to a very narrow and specific set of genres try to voice opinions on music outside of those genres when it's blatantly obvious they know nothing about them and don't care to know. a lot of these people are either unwilling or unable to engage with music outside of those genres, and yet still believe that their opinions are not only worth voicing, but are right. that is elitist.
personal enjoyment of music is subjective, that is true, but when people make blanket statements about genre labels that are as broad as "rap" is that are demonstrably wrong, it's stops being subjective and becomes objectively incorrect.
this goes for all styles of music but is particularly notable with rap because, unfortunately, a lot of the willful ignorance towards the genres comes from racism lol. the reason semaphore mentioned video game osts is because nearly everyone who listens exclusively to video game osts are uncurious and are, seemingly, unable to critically parse music that doesn't have an explicit context associated with it thru some other medium. I've never met anyone who listens to just soundtracks in general but I've talked to many people who only listen to video game soundtracks specifically and they're all like this.
Yeah, I think it's still good when looking at it like this (as with most Playboi Carti songs) but I don't think I'll ever be able to not get whiplash from "I'm with this shit like a baby"Achromalia wrote: 1ts28
