Carti began rapping at an early age under the name Sir Cartier. Much of his early work has been deleted from the Internet. He adopted the name Playboi Carti in 2012 and signed to rapper Father's underground label Awful Records. He began to attract attention in 2015 with his singles "Broke Boi" and "Fetti" featuring Da$h and Maxo Kream, both of which were published to SoundCloud. Around this time, Carti frequently collaborated with artists in Atlanta's underground rap scene, including his cousin UnoTheActivist, ThouxanbanFauni, Yung Bans, Lil Yachty, Ethereal, and producers Mexikodro, and ICYTWAT.
In 2016, he was featured on the A$AP Mob's single "Telephone Calls" from their album Cozy Tapes Vol. 1: Friends. The same year, Carti signed to the A$AP Mob's AWGE imprint and Interscope Records.
Carti released his eponymous debut mixtape in April 2017. The release gained attention from various music publications, including XXL, Pitchfork, Spin, HotNewHipHop, and PopMatters, and reached No. 12 on the Billboard 200. The mixtape spawned two successful singles, "Magnolia," which reached No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Woke Up Like This" featuring Lil Uzi Vert, which reached No. 76. Accompanying the mixtape's release, Carti embarked on a tour with Gucci Mane and Dreezy.
On June 13, 2017, Playboi Carti was named as one of the ten of XXL's "2017 Freshman Class." Around this time, he was featured on A$AP Mob's single "Raf" from their album Cozy Tapes Vol. 2: Too Cozy and Lana del Rey's single "Summer Bummer" from her album Lust For Life.
Most recently, Carti and Lil Uzi Vert have teased a collaborative mixtape. On May 11, 2018, Carti released his debut full-length album Die Lit. His upcoming project Whole Lotta Red is expected in September 2019.
Playboi Carti's most popular leaks include Kid Cudi feat. Young Nudy, Lil Uzi Vert and ASAP Rocky.

I see what you doing. You just uploaded the video while r/playboicarti is going completely crazy because everyone thinks that wlr it’s dropping today. Well played
WAIT WHAT? u just say that casually like that
Chief not really casually, there are a shit ton of reason that would explain why carti is dropping. Check the subreddit if you are interested, everyone is going apeshit atm there, it’s kinda fun
@@matteolai3861 im checking it rn. But its mainly just the pierre tweet right? Im not tryna get my hopes up for nothing
Chief nah, it’s the Pierre thing, the fact that it’s carti birthday, the fact that lately he’s been hella active on social media (which is rare for carti), the fact that it’s Friday the 13th so it fits the atmosphere, the fact that it’s gonna be a full moon, and probably other reason that rn I can’t recall
Also a shit ton of songs leaked lately

@@ichsanibrahim1900 yup thats what i said
i bet carti literally just makes music for fun, and Volksgeist makes a whole theory and carti be like. Bruh What
He probably does do it for fun but what he does is exactly this whether carti himself realizes this or not
brah they just looking too much into it. there’s really no dada theory behind carti’s shit
@@donniep321 i think theories like this apply more as to why art like this is popular on a large scale, not necessarily the thought process the artist themselves put into making their art.
Carti may drop an album this year but people keep on leaking his music
Facts 🤣
carti smells like the man who invented music
Literally smells like old spice
Prob smells like weed
Dry Boy Eazy I can imagine carti smelling like soda and dish soap more than weed
He smells like pack 24/7

Leaviro and the birthmark it’s really crazy
noted.
old heads finna get mad at this
He is better than 2pac tho
Now this is very respectable, thank you for this video!
i have my pretty own take on carti... imo he's just trying to get a vibe off in his music - i know a lot of rappers theses days get the same said about them - but with carti it's different for me. there is this specific vibe the whole die lit album gives me, i only get this vibes from cartis music. there might be similar vibes i get from other artist but never the same as when long time or flatbed freestyle are playing. carti has this close and passionate fan base bc those are the ppl that just get it. it's nothing you can explain in words easily, it's an esthetic for me. i know this all sounds rediculus bc when you look at what he's doin it's rly nothing much, but it is what it is for me. his music has acutally helped me a lot in the past, and die lit is prolly one of my 5 most played albums ever, and i listen to a lot of music... it is now tied into my life and my experiences so much that it rly is a part of it and not just some entertainment, i experienced the best moments while listening to it. i like to think that carti makes music just for the ppl who get it, and they are out there as you can see when looking at his passionate fanbase. a lot of ppl joke about it and don't get it or think it's "just funny to listen to" what it defiantly is. but i think there is a reason why carti acts like he does in the spotlight (the way he's kinda shy and never explaining anything while still being super confident somehow), and why he never rly explains anything about him and his art.
It's just for the ppl who get it and that's the reason. of course he also acts like he does bc it's just his personality, but that plays into it even better bc that means it's genuine.
it's like when you have this mood with a good friend of you that nobody gets but you love it and you aren't even trying to explain it to others, they either get it or they don't and then it's now for them anyways, it is made to apply to the ppl that will understand it right and for them to find it. the other ppl can just move on, i mean carto rly never talks about all the fun that is made about him bc that's just pointless. slatt slatt
thank y'all l for reading my poem if anyone even did...
i'm sometimes in the mood where i just have to write all of this shit just to celitify my thought to my self i feel like, idk does anyone else know that?
Thanks dude you just cleared it up for me lmao
Koen Raijer nice was hoping that ppl would get it, also cleared it for myself hahaha thanks for reading
Nigha no homo you literally read my soul
Koen Raijer all I heard was “slat slat I love my slimes++**🤮🤮 🦋
Can’t believe I read all that😭
It’s insane how accurate and ahead of time this video was. He saw the vision and overtime, Carti has become exactly what is described in the video. He went way more punk, heavily influenced or shaped the “rage” genre. He really is a creative genuis, a visionary
bro didn’t influence shit💀 he’s just edging his fans and making hella cash from it
Carti’s music is a feeling. It’s not about the lyrics, it’s about the journey that the mind and body goes to throughout the length of his music.
I luv cash carti
Also shtummy hurt

Thank you for making this video. As someone who listens to a lot of different music, I more often than not am able to fully get into an artist once I know their backstory and/or purpose for how and why they make music. This really explained a lot.
Carti would be a weirdo when lyricals were poppin

I love the effort in these videos
Carti's verse on Earfquake is -like- a passage from the bible.
He literally invented sound itself enough said
Playboi Carti is our one and only savior
Carti might not be the best rapper or the best lyricist, but goddammit, the vibes he brings with his songs are so great. Sure, there are other artists that focus on being hype/fun instead of deeply lyrical, but none of them make me feel as happy as Carti's music. Hope he'll continue to hone his craft and put out more great music.
Can we get a understanding uzi next please (thanks) 🙏🏽

Kid cudi isn’t even his song it was supposed to be on slimmere by young nudy

On a serious note his music is just a vibe. It hits different when you just riding in your car with your friends blasting carti its so chill and you having a good time
Y'all dont know about 2014-2015 trap Carti

I loved the new graphics and video effects you used in the vid. Love your video essays! Thank you
The video we’ve all been waiting for!
Epic, you did it again, Mr. Volksgeist
i feel like because of the way him and pierre simplify the music it really makes them put effort into every single detail as they use so little, leaving every song sounding 'perfect'
hes not a rapper hes a poet
No
carti is getting to god tier level that theyre making videos tryin explain what his music means and how it began😭
in short carti's music is the future genre. Hold up I'm blown 🤯
i’m in love with this video. thank you for making my day
who else is a carti fan who cant stand to listen to this man talk about him
Thank you volksgeist
This a cool video but playboi carti is a artist birthed from chief keefs lazy flow and young thugs crazy melodic voice
Hit the nail on the head
He is both of them combined to a t !!
Carti is a thug and keef copycat
Tbh he’s Keef, Thug, Young Lean, Yung Gleesh, Lil B, and Soulja Boy all mixed into one
Clout Lord kap
EAtlanta yung lean? Wtf u smoking
ive been waiting on this for a long time
He’s the creator of space and time, how could I not know him?
watching in 2023 and shows he was a genius and had a major influence had on music
Lmaoooo i thought quavo from the Migos said that

This was the most beautiful video you’ve ever made.
I really thought my juul was ripping in my pocket at 7:45
I can bet the amount of study you did to create this video is way more than playboi carti and his fanbase's knowledge combined.
lol yes

Caleb7 you obviously didn’t get the video
I mean joey badass style is nothing new, great rapper, but not too innovative
I know this old now but The fact yaw trynna make Carrie seem so deep is funny ASF 🤣 take it for what it is man
Being a great rapper has never been a prerequisite for making great rap music, but few rappers have ever tested that premise quite as aggressively as Playboi Carti. On his self-titled 2017 debut, the twitchy Atlanta rapper compensated for his shortcomings as a lyricist with vision and spirit, bouncing his sticky ad-libs off of gloopy, gummy beats that played out with the insane logic of a “Double Dare” obstacle course. “Damn, my shit so radical,” Carti bragged, and it truly was. Yet, amazingly, that project sounds almost conservative compared to Die Lit, a 57-minute sugar high that’s even wilder, more disorienting, and more perversely infectious than its predecessor.
Atlanta swag-rap pioneers Travis Porter and Rich Kidz paved the way for Carti’s giddy style, but even they never took it to such delirious extremes. Die Lit is all cream filling, no Oreo. It’s letting a 4-year-old pour his own salad dressing then watching as he absolutely floods his plate with Hidden Valley Ranch. It’s those levels of Mario where the pipes and clouds spew so many coins and one-ups at you that you wonder why you spent all those other levels collecting them one by one. This is music that fundamentally recalibrates the brain’s reward centers.
Once again, the primary architect behind these addictive fragmented tones is producer Pi’erre Bourne, working from a reserve of what sound like hacked Gameboys, busted subwoofers, and chopped and screwed snippets of Ratatat records. Bourne is a one man Acme Corporation assembly line, and in Carti he’s found the perfect foil for his mischief, a fellow iconoclast similarly willing to test the boundaries between catchy and obnoxious. The two have some of the most quixotic chemistry of any producer/rapper combo since Zaytoven and Gucci Mane disrupted Atlanta’s rap scene more than a decade ago.
Where Carti’s full-length last year was technically a mixtape, Die Lit is being marketed as his official debut, which is often when commercial considerations set in and the fun ends. But while the album is loaded with guest features, including ones from Travis Scott and Nicki Minaj, they never upset its surrealist vision. Even “Fell in Luv (feat. Bryson Tiller)” isn’t as cynical as title threatens; it’s just a typically loopy Playboi Carti song with a Bryson Tiller verse that’s mixed like somebody tried to erase it then gave up. With its victorious pianos, the Lil Uzi Vert-assisted triumph anthem “Shoota” is the album’s one obvious concession to radio’s ideal of tunefulness, but it’s an absolute stunner of a track, and it also works as a window to the world outside of Bourne’s studio, highlighting just how odd and malformed all the beats around it are.
Mostly, Die Lit uses outside voices as accent pieces. London grime icon Skepta elbows his way into “Lean 4 Real,” and although his accent cuts a sharp contrast against nearly any American rapper, here it’s just his mere enunciation that comes as a shock. Young Thug joins Carti in making lots of silly noises on “Choppa Won’t Miss,” and they sound like kids playing over a toy chest. Bourne even gets two verses, because really almost any voice will suffice on music like this, and his is serviceable enough (“Bags of the future/Did it all off computers” is also a pretty solid brag for a producer).
In an Atlanta rap scene that tends to progress incrementally, with artists building off of a shared pool of ideas and advancing the breakthroughs of others, Die Lit is an anomaly, an album that works almost completely from its own lunatic script. At its best-which is to say almost the entire thing, really-the album almost seems to suspend gravity. How does a rapper this basic pull off a project this electrifying? No, Carti’s rapping isn’t any better this time out. And no, it really doesn’t matter. When the carnival itself is this magnificent, there’s no need to nitpick the ring-leader.
you the king for this
Carti is the definition of doing nothing and everything. He barely released music, yet has so many leaks. He barely interacts with his fans, yet his fanbase is one of the most off the wall people. And his music is addictive, so much so that people have created ALBUMS for playboi carti; and songs like Spaceship, Talk 2 Me and 7AM have blown up because of it. He’s so influential because he’s relatable to this generation. He’s lazy, secretive, dramatic and a fashion icon. One of best artists of the century not because he is great, but because he’s unique and extravagant. In the coming years he’ll be regarded as the bad father lean gut having bum that somehow imploded the industry.
Carti 🐐
go back to reddit with that bs lmao
YES YES YES I LOVE YOU THANKS SM VOLKSGEIST
I don't understand how videos like this fail to understand how carti was shaped by people like Father, Ethereal, Awful Records, Metro Zu, Lil B, and etc. Carti wouldnt be Carti without people like them.
Don't forget about that Chief Keef influence as well.
Your editing is just so amazing! combined with the good content, It's really really good
Lmao Pierre Bourne has entered the chat to take all the credit and I'm seconding.
This video and the connections you make are amazing. U put into words the inexplainable reasons i love carti. rebel.
the 1700s had mozart
the 1800s had beethoven
the 1900s had the beatles
the 2000s have playboi carti
😐😑🥱😴
every single song carti puts out is somehow fire as fuck, even going back and looking at his $ir cartier shit it’s still fire as fuck
You can’t understand that level of genius
I find it funny on how I watched a video on Carti being a master at doing nothing by BlackySpeakz & he mentioned that he couldn't understand why people liked his music. Then I wondered if there was a video out there that explained why his music is appealing. Next thing you know, this video ends up on my newsfeed lol Love it!
Been waiting for you to do this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
PLEASE DO UNDERSTANDING BLADEE OR THE WHOLE DRAIN GANG

The production quality on this video essay is amazing

SBE DG GB !!!
Says who?
Carti fucks hard with Yung Lean
Not really, yung lean is if anything but I seriously doubt the others are influences to him (although I love them), yung lean just influenced trap in general not really cartis style though
Lol you’re dumb as hell if you actually believe this
I love you man.
Thanks for making these awesome vid essays.
Shout out to UnoTheActivist, without him there would be no carti
There would be no cash carti
Cap af u sound slow
U the goat for doin this vid 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐...SLATT🦋
this video brings nothing but implies that because you against the norm = you are an inventive mastermind.i mean,i can shit my pants while skateboarding with surf board on the street while playing jazz flute and claims it a "dadaism art" as i "reconstruct the meaning" of the whole genre of jazz .im sorry but this is just came out as pretentious to me
It also sounds good
