The song is is good because of how relaxed the beat is compared how “strong” or over the top the beats were compared to other beats like the in new tank. Sky has weak (relaxed) beat but it’s till a good song.
It's the only good song imo.. only 2 others actually stood out but I wouldn't say they're good.. but the moment I heard the synths on SKY and then Carti started rapping I was addicted instantly.. and I think that says a lot since I never liked Carti or my opinion don't count idk lmao tbf I could count songs of his I like on one hand
@@zanderblue5089 it's the most mainstream appealing song on the album that's why you like it, a lot of the songs in here are pretty experimental and hard to get into on one listen. Carti's music in general is an acquired taste.

Lol he liked the WORST parts of this album. Ain't no one listening to the shitty compressed, mixed, and punk/experimental music. Sky, Over, Place, ILoveUIHateU, etc. / the 2nd half WAY better. Still a 5 but for the wrong reasons.
@@traplover6357 nahhh I actually agreed with him. I think those experimental ones could be really influential to not only Carti’s future music and he’s next direction of being this “rockstar” but also rap as a whole. And besides rockstars should do their thing right? They should just go for it and create whatever they want, experiment around. I just think Carti didn’t commit to this motto cuz of the fear of it completely flopping instead of just going for it 100%
Give it a few years and people will be saying that this album was ahead of his time and underrated. I hated it when it first released but I’m slowly loving it.
@@aryavirsangwan6837 I think the album is split into two parts; however, it does transition to it I would argue. The first part is rockstar carti. The second part is die-lit carti with a hyperpop influence in the beats. Either way I think both parts are great, and the album will definitely be looked back on with good eyes
@@sz.cristi On first listen I just thought it sounded really rushed, I hate the sound of his voice, i know trap isn't focused around lyrics but they're noticeably bad in WLR, making it hard not to focus on them. Then I heard how it apparently grows on pll so I listened a few more times and it just got worse. Only songs I go back to are Beno! and Go2DaMoon, but onky because that song is mostly Kanye (my fav artist)
Look at the tracks he listed as his fav tho. Those r the songs that everyone likes now. He knew what this project was about when it first dropped. The “grower” songs are the songs that he likes so this project won’t get any better for him and The generic trap songs which usually grow off ppl r the ones he doesn’t like.
@@smoky808 yea I get that but I feel like the fact he just went with the easiest most basic vampire music you could possibly think of is kinda reflective of the effort he put in like it kind kills the whole "experimental" aesthetic when you literally use a 300 year old song
Now with Donda and CLB out, personally I think, this album holds it weight up. Kanye can release something like Yeezus and it’s considered genius, but Carti releases WLR and everyone hates it because it doesn’t sound like Die Lit. While WLR is not perfect it has some fantastic ideas and is definitely on a whole different level, if you think that level is garbage or pristine at least Carti is the only mainstream artist to actually try something different with his work recently.
Well a lot of people hated on yeezus. Hopsin himself burned the disc with yeezus. Only a couple years later did some people change their minds on it. WLR is good, but yeezus is a short 10 track album whereas wlr is 24 songs with tons of misses in between.
@@lordharkon84 yeah the fact WLR is so bloated does bring it down, yet the album is still such a fun listen (to me anyways). If he could have focused and put more effort into the energy like Punk Monk and Stop Breathing then it would have turned out better.
@@maninspace2021 it will definitely be his album that stands out the most just because of the sound and marketing scheme behind it. It has also aged better than I thought it would have

@@ysmmac6015 for me a few songs that stood out to me first listen made the songs I liked less sound a lot better, album definitely needs time to marinate but it’s a good album imo
I get where he’s coming from, the first half is more experimental and new, and I like it a lot, and the second half is more classic carti, I feel like if carti committed to the punk sound the album would have been more cohesive and better, but at the same time I have no problem with the more classic stuff, it’s still great, I feel like carti probably just put it there to appeal to his different types of fans considering how long the wait was
Check out Eminem’s Music To Be Murdered By. He is praising the shit out of it and talking about it like it’s a 6 or even 7, but gives it a 5 in the end.
Cuz he sees the potential in this album, it's just that it was executed terribly. He even compares it to 808s & Heartbreaks, an album that was hated on when it dropped but considered influential later on.
I want to laugh but in reality you’re right. This shit spawned a bunch of new artists following the whole opium aesthetic/sound. Carti is getting to be a trendsetter in the same way Kanye is at this point.
M3tamorphosis is so good, I can see why people wouldn’t like it, but the whole song itself really just puts you in that mood where “can’t nobody tell you shit”
I am a fan of the album and I have no qualms with this score. The mixing made songs that could've been great decent, and I feel like carti doesn't maintain that punk vibe throughout the second half of the album which is what made the first half special for me.
I kinda like that the album had the punk experimental songs and the ‘die lit’ type songs. Sure, it makes the album less consistent but i really like both. And i’m not always in the mode for those aggressive songs
@@jilla6594 I agree and disagree. A quality album doesn’t only have musically pleasing sounds, but the album is meant to make the listener feel a certain way by conveying a message. When you have vastly different types of sounds throughout the record, that message becomes a lot more difficult to convey. Albums that do change throughout tend to have a specific reason for doing so, an example of this is Igor. On this record it kind of just sounds like Carti couldn’t figure out which sound he liked more.
@@thorkarr3601 i think i just like it more than than others because, as melon pointed out, its very reminiscent of the 'Die Lit' sound signature (an album which i genuinely love).

The last Eminem review tops this
That album fucking rocks!
Cuz he sees the potential in this album, it's just that it was executed terribly. He even compares it to 808s & Heartbreaks, an album that was hated on when it dropped but considered influential later on.
Missed opportunity to be Kingthony Vamptano
For once, *Anthony is more positive about something that’s widely hated, at least by fans.*
No it’s not
he gave it a 5 lmao
Edit: yeah the guy changed the comment so no point
@@Adnan-zr2gs thats still a kinda positive score
Because he likes to be different
@@Adnan-zr2gs positive score for fantano
he did correctly predict its legacy. Most influential rap album of the decade so far
Lol
I want to laugh but in reality you’re right. This shit spawned a bunch of new artists following the whole opium aesthetic/sound. Carti is getting to be a trendsetter in the same way Kanye is at this point.
M3tamorphosis is so good, I can see why people wouldn’t like it, but the whole song itself really just puts you in that mood where “can’t nobody tell you shit”
Songs straight cheeks, mEtaMORPhasis headass bro sounds like iggy is pegging him to get those inflections
@@Memotherapy someone's mad over an opinion
@@chagrin6919 to be fair this is a fantano watcher lol
@@Memotherapy CANT NOBODY TELL ME SHIT

Lmao
I am a fan of the album and I have no qualms with this score. The mixing made songs that could've been great decent, and I feel like carti doesn't maintain that punk vibe throughout the second half of the album which is what made the first half special for me.
fr the mixes suck ass
I kinda like that the album had the punk experimental songs and the ‘die lit’ type songs. Sure, it makes the album less consistent but i really like both. And i’m not always in the mode for those aggressive songs
@@jilla6594 I agree and disagree. A quality album doesn’t only have musically pleasing sounds, but the album is meant to make the listener feel a certain way by conveying a message. When you have vastly different types of sounds throughout the record, that message becomes a lot more difficult to convey. Albums that do change throughout tend to have a specific reason for doing so, an example of this is Igor. On this record it kind of just sounds like Carti couldn’t figure out which sound he liked more.
Exactly. In Utero by Nirvana is a perfect example of this. Ran with a pleb-crushing theme that defied expectations of Nevermind-loving listeners
@@unclek7175 wow, comparing In Utero to WLR... so audacios
So glad he gave this one a redux review. Now with two 5s, this album has become a 10! Awesome!!!!! Unsubbed.
10/20
@@ddvsgd9508 no 5/10 + 5/10 = 10/10 quick maths

He compared this to 808’s and heartbreak. That’s a fucking W
Fr
This is no where near 808s and heartbreak tho
@@ju4sju4s i agree it's better than 808
Not even better than Jesus Is King 💀
@@ju4sju4s ok buddy go listen to ur church music💀🤣
i cant believe playboi carti predicted the 2024 election map with this album title
what ☠️
Bruh, sky was a banger idk why he trippin
Best song on the album for me.
@@SR009s it's wack and I'm happy Fantano thinks so too
@@thorkarr3601 i think i just like it more than than others because, as melon pointed out, its very reminiscent of the 'Die Lit' sound signature (an album which i genuinely love).
@@SR009s thats fair bro
So is Vamp Anthem those are both breakout songs on the album and they’re getting the most views and best reception
Of course he doesn't like Place or Over lmfao never change Fantano
why tho
Bagstarleek he trippin
I mean, people agree to disagree. He isn't meant to like everything, or the most popular, so I can see why.
Over is the best track on the LP, but Fantano is Fantano I guess...
ReMark he wanted the album to have a consistent vibe and that’s not what the other half did so he didn’t like it I guess
This is the most positive 5/10 ever.
I didn’t like WLR now at all but it’s grown on me so much I love it now it’s Carti’s best album imo
u a real g😭🙏
Fr, still love old carti but new carti sounds Fire still
Yes it is and fr
This review was more anticipated than the album
word
Dead ass truth
this was.. honestly true for me
We literally waited almost 3 years for this album tho so how
They can't understand me I'm talking hieroglyphics
That was lowkey an eerie verse
It’s crazy how some people are more excited for this review than the album
Honestly I’m in that section lol
But yet they call it revolutionary and 10 but cudnt wait for this review lmao carti fans so delusional
Who’s here after the “redux” review 😂
He liked Stop Breathing and Teen X that’s all I needed to hear lmao
fr. teen x gets way too much hate
@@Swaghandler teen x grew on me
Those 2 and control are my top 3
Teen x is gonna b a banger live
@@craz5634 F33l Lik3 Dyin is my top 1
Fantano be like: Yeah you know these songs that everyone likes, I don’t like them
And the song that most people dont like aka jumpoutthehouse is in his favs Lol
Because they are boring. They add absolutely nothing.
@@occultsymbols fix your ears clown literally the best songs
@@Tomershamir If i want this type of music i listen to Die Lit, which is much better than these tracks
@@occultsymbols Sky and Over better than most tracks on Die Lit
Kept thinking “He’s either gonna hate it or love it”
Guess I was wrong
i honestly thought it would be a 6/10
the album was probably way too inconsistent for him to love it
those ideas are always wrong
He kind of did though. He hated some parts of it, while he loved others. He gave it a 5 because of its extremes, not in spite of them.
WLR was Carti’s Yeezus
And Rocky’s Testing
It’s not even that different from die lit
2031: Whole Lotta Red REDUX REVIEW
9/10
10/10 *
"The freddy mercury of our generation" didnt expect that one. Value your opinion tho
Anthony, just saying "go to the moon" for 9 minutes isn't a review....
This deserves a redux and you know it
How about a 4
It copies tread not very revolutionary as these teenagers think
This gonna be a barbershop debate for years.
Nothing to debate this shit mid
@@yosoymejor6388 cap
If you talk about playboy carti while getting a haircut, you deserve to get messed up
No it won't, Benjamin
@@OO-xv4mk if you go to a Puerto Rican or Dominican barber you either talking baseball, Reggaeton, or fine celebrities that they would sleep with lmao
And those guys tend to be the best barbers
Anthony you have the wrong album on the wall behind you, that is clearly just some record called “Red”
Playboi carti predicted this score with his single "meh"
Lol
watching exactly after 2 years(on Xmas)of the album and my fav carti album
Me too
And it changed SoundCloud rap massively
Too late, Mario Judah already uploaded his review.
Who
Too late mario judah died of a heart attack trying to put more energy into his music
Oh that guy
@@pinkpanther8932 rip his body was never found
Mario Judah sucks, like it’s actually terrible. Just a few more moments til we forget about him completely.
We live in a society where Playboi Carti makes an experimental hip hop album that doesn't get a yellow flannel from Fantano
would u call it experimental?
@@udontexist47 ye kinda ngl
@@udontexist47 yes. How many other albums can you think of sound like Whole Lotta Red?
Experimental💀💀💀💀
@@coreyfreeman7038 name an album similar to WLR
there's about 7-8 songs from this I can't stop playing, i just forgot the rest
Dude same

Su it’s a 7 for me
