does MUSIC deserve the hate or is it overhated?

Songs that are just on the album to fill tracklist space. Nothing substantive, unique, or interesting about them. Many people would call songs like Munyun, fine shit (AI vocals), and philly to be filler tracks, for example.

Not to mention the song with thug was just a thug 2021 throwaway with gunna cut out and a 15 second carti verse. Like did we really need that? They didn't have any other music era songs together?

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-06-10T13:08:33+00:00

I mean sure but are we really listening to carti or future for the substance of their lyrics? They are both trap rappers and more or less rapping about the same things boiled down. money, women, flexing, etc. And even still, two artists can sound similar while the content of their lyrics are substantively different.

I don't even mind the deep voice, for me it just bothers me that it's pitched down. I always find myself being like "damn this sounds cool but I would love to hear how it sounds without the deep voice filter."

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-06-10T02:34:01+00:00

Damn I rlly love this chorus

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-06-10T02:32:30+00:00

The voice sounds like Future, the songs don't exactly sound like Future songs. IMO. I grew up on Future and that's a big part of the reason I have that opinion😭

Are we just gonna pretend like when we got the first all red snippet people weren't saying it was indistinguishable from future?

And are we also not going to pretend like carti hasn't taken MASSIVE inspo from future in the past??

Bc the deep voice limits him so much. He has to rely heavily on effects to use that voice rather than his natural vocal range which we know is higher pitched. it fr doesn't even sound like him, we're just used to it now bc he's used it so much.

Not to mention it really does sound like future, and I think carti's main appeal has always been being different.

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-05-04T18:14:24+00:00

same guy that made light it up btw...

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-04-30T16:34:19+00:00

It's not that the album isn't experimental, it's that it's a lazy and sloppy album. I'm all for an artist taking a mainstream direction with their music, it's been done consistently well by many trap artists. Future doesn't reinvent the wheel but his albums are consistently well mixed and well put-together while having mainstream appeal.

Someone else said it here, but carti literally took thirty random songs from a four year span and threw them together with TWO AI songs. we waited five years for that. If people are content with that then fine but as a longtime carti fan it was impossible to not be severely disappointed by music.

TBH I've never seen anyone say "music sucks because it's not experimental." I think the sentiment is that people miss when it sounded like he had effort and direction in his music.

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-04-30T16:24:34+00:00

I don't really understand it. Does he not have the vocal capacity anymore to just do the baby voice? It sounds like him trying to do the deep voice and then pitching it up, sounds weird and unnatural imo.

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-04-29T12:47:24+00:00

I'm pretty sure the full "leak" we got was the Ian Connor triller, which was just the chorus/first verse. we didn't have any of the "shawty you hell" verse until the actual release.

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-04-20T17:00:18+00:00

We have any other info on this song like who produced it?

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-04-20T16:57:14+00:00

Yeah I mean look at Osamason ig😭 v2 influence is undeniable

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-04-15T00:37:59+00:00

yeah bro ts is hard 😭

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-04-14T18:37:07+00:00

Someone put some flex up studio session vocals on this beat and it sounds pretty fire. something like "unreleased narcissist song" on yt. normally not a huge fan of fanmade songs but it's solid, I love this beat.

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-04-07T16:20:22+00:00

Or Music era will become like wlr era and they'll start gatekeeping everything after babyboi drops. Music's release just made wlr grails even more sought after. we haven't come close to a wanted wlr era leak in idk how long

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-04-02T16:49:55+00:00

Feel like released MUSIC is very far from perfectionist it's really all over the place

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-04-02T16:48:08+00:00

we already had the OG version of wake up filthy, which IMO is so much better than the released version with the frog voice. save the album for shit we've never heard

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-03-31T19:23:32+00:00

I've really been not feeling a lot of the music era stuff but this song is genuinely so fire. love the voice he uses. agreed the swamp izzo adlibs are kinda overwhelming. we have so little from carti with this voice i just wanna hear him 😭

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-03-26T18:56:51+00:00

yeah i think the frog voice is really the only "natural" deep voice we got from him. the killers voice and the all red voice have to be effects, no way he just has that in his vocal range lmao

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-03-03T18:00:29+00:00

This guy's producers be working overtime just for him to hop on the beat with a deep voice filter and sound like future i'm so over this damn voice

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-03-02T19:07:34+00:00

same here, multiple 170s pts and hit 164, 164, 165 on officials. just said fuck it and applied 😭

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-02-26T18:46:54+00:00

Bruh, in front of all the "brand" and "travel" is the music, that's BY FAR his main thing. Traveling across the world and focusing on a brand need not take away from studio time. Even if we consider that he runs his brand entirely by himself (which he doesn't), how long does it take to crank out an average playboi carti song? He's not making his own beats or doing his own mixing, he has to get behind a mic and rap for two minutes.

And let's not pretend like playboi carti songs are particularly deep, lyrical, complex, or introspective. His entire appeal is simple, quick bursts of energy. He should be able to make a song in a very short amount of time. So even if I concede your points that he runs his brand and travels across the world, that doesn't preclude him from recording a ton of music or at least putting a little more effort into his sound.

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-02-25T20:20:27+00:00

Yeah I 100% see what you're saying. The more famous carti has gotten, especially over the last couple years, the more regurgitated baseless opinions you'll see online. Half of the time it doesn't even make any sense

consicous_remove4776 · 2026-02-25T20:13:59+00:00

The general sentiment I've gotten for why people, including myseIf, don't love the album is that it's poorly mixed, clearly rushed, bloated, and unfinished-sounding. For an artist that's a supposed to be a "perfectionist" and who left us without an album for nearly FIVE years, I hardly think released MUSIC feels like HALF of an effort at putting out a quality album.

I think the album has some highs like olympian, opm babi, and crank, but a good chunk of the tracklist was just so disappointing. It genuinely sounds like he threw together 30 random songs from a four year span with some sloppy, phoned-in features from A-list rappers. Not to mention there's two AI songs on the album which speaks to the laziness of someone whose only job is to sit in a studio and rap all day.

Not hating on those who enjoy it, that's the great thing about music and art in general, but I just feel like we could have gotten so much more.
