first song he listened to and he understands more than most old heads
Damn I’ve been listening rap since 10 years now and it’s soooo true
Never seen someone so respectful about it
this is what i always tried to say but never knew how to say it. dude explained it Perfectly

seeing people be able to appreciate carti just makes me happy man
Same reason why I’m here
“Young man” he’s probably older then you 💀

Bro, I srsly gotta commend you, because for someone who’s only just recently delving into the world of hiphop, you’re completely throwing yourself in the deep end, a few of the albums you’ve reacted to seriously demand an acquired taste from someone who’s already familiar with the ins and outs of the genre and you somehow still just understand a lot of these songs appeal regardless of whether or not they’re even to your liking. It’s been v exciting exploring these albums for the first time along with you
He's def a fan of music , not just rock. And you can really see that coming through, love his honesty and genuine commentary
@@jackweslyn ong
Word
And the fact that he’s able to understand such an experimental type of rap even if he doesn’t love it he can understand the appeal, the fact that he gets it when barely starting his listening of hip hop
There were parts of this album that were a challenge. I think there are a few times when I mention that I have to actively shut off the part of my mind that follows lyrics and just listen to everything as sound. It's very different from what I'm accustomed to, but I do enjoy what's going on. There are a lot of interesting layers, and I can see why people can throw this on repeat for several listens in a row. I'm going to chew on this album over the next few days and do a follow up video on it.
i love this so much. when people who aren't familiar with a certain scene open their mind up to it and give it a shot. it's so interesting bc this is what's hot for young people these days and honestly what a lot of them (myself included) have been listening to for years. wish there were more ppl like you, young and old.
You will prolly never see this but to answer some of your questions
1. An opp is short for opposition
2. When he’s says metamorphosis he means in his style of music and clothing. He sounded nothing like this on his previous albums and he dressed much different than he used to
Hope that helped :)
What about kid cudi? I always said kid coodie
@@isbpbmugb2ygaglzigv5zxmgcm92 It's not coodie, it's pronounced the way Bob said it before playing the song.

Hip Hop is one of the most diverse genres in the world imo. There’s so many different subgenres in it. We have backpack, punk, melodic, emo, alternative, and grunge to name a few. There’s still so much more to it too. It’s actually very impressive how creative producers and rappers can be when they’re on the same wavelength. It’s beautiful.
Rock is the most diverse genre. Almost everything you just named stemmed from rock not hip hop.
@@loggerhead837 where’s your sources please state them
@@loggerhead837 rock being the most diverse genre is objectively false sorry cope
The heck is backpack
@@loggerhead837 it may have asked them from Rock don't listen to these kids they don't know what they're talking about, but what I'm saying is there's still more to rap than rock for subgenres
You can just tell that this guy is very open-minded. We need more you people like you sir. Thank you for understanding this side of music.
this is an album made for moshing and concerts. when it came out it was recieved so badly by fans because it was such a massive change from his older more chill sound.
now that concerts are slowly coming back, and covid 19 is becoming less of an issue, people are starting to understand what cartis vision was when he created whole lotta red and it is aging pretty well. its clear to see this album has inspired a lot of hip hop music coming out right now too.
i’m not going to lie, i was also a hater of WLR. i still don’t like many tracks but a few have grown on me.
@@sporgiii whole lotta red is acc the album that got me into carti before that I only liked wokeuplikedis magnolia rip and shoota. when wlr came out i loved it and after watching him live i enjoyed it even more the tracks i wasn't too sure about now i like too
@@sporgiii u should watch him live if u go to his concert trust me u will like it so much more
I loved WLR from the start. Defending Carti on twitter was a nightmare the day it dropped lol.
@@karangill7189 honestly i'm definitely going to try to get into WLR, there's a concert in my city soon and im hoping to go with some friends. thanks for the tip 🙏
This album has gotten better for me with each listen over the last 10 months

Same
Im glad im not the only one. I don’t understand how it keeps getting better. Im approaching 500 listens of this album. And it keeps getting better. Im an album fan ive listened to hundreds of albums. Ive never enjoyed an album more than this. Edit: ive 100% listened to this album each day since posting this comment. Honestly i dont even listen to music anymore i just automatically put on WLR and dont complain
It's definitely a loop album. Just set it on repeat and let it go. It's almost like one track with heavy transitions every 2-3 minutes.
@@bobthepoppop You should react to Playboi Cartis recent Rolling Loud Narcissist concert. It has some mix of punk metal transitions. Would like to see your reaction on it
30:20 It's a production trick. It's quite common for producers to EQ the low frequencies of the vocals out to make room for the bass(808s) so the vocals wouldn't get muddy or clash with the bass and kicks.
its also helpful to get that old radio sound
jjdjddx @@xeskcigam174
It’s not a trick mf it’s just what you do
Many Rap fans can't even comprehend this project, for you to jump right in respectfully while still 100% speaking your mind is very impressive. First video I saw from you and 3 min in your intelligence and self awareness was overwhelming and I liked and subbed. Good shit king.
It's 🗑🗑🗑🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮
"Place" and "New Neon" were both made years before the rest of the songs and thats why they sound so different to the rest, as his sound has changed alot over time (hence the song metamorphosis)
Ahhh... very interesting. I hadn't considered when individual tracks were made. And that does help to explain some of the change in sound throughout the album. I noticed occasional shifts between tracks.

This video made me so happy. Your opinion on everything was so respectful and I love how open minded you are for music.
you should not have lyrics open for carti 💀

probably couldn't understand what he's saying if he didn't lmao
@@ugsl5236 does he need to
Naw This album got lyrics that matter tho
@@sps5591 bruh what lyrics? Kill me an opp? They don’t matter for shit
46:37 he’s actually doing this “baby voice” in real life - there are no pitch adjustments! it’s very unique how he gets his voice to be so high pitched
Hearing interviews and clips, I realized his voice is just naturally light and high pitched
Let's not act like the autotune don't play a huge part... If you've heard the leaked studio snippets you'd know they definitely tweak his voice quite a bit (even though it is naturally high).
@@stellar1252 nah those leaked snippets you heard were throw aways, all free styles.

Chicagooooo🧛🏿
WLR is extremely experimental and a modern classic if you have the ear for it, modern mainstream punk. Got friends who play in punk bands and they wouldn’t dare stray this far from the herd
I love punk, and wlr since it came out, I noticed it was something I automatically loved. It is a true punk album
Love this. Getting perspective from another person on the music I love is my favorite thing. Especially when they don’t try and bring it down
The metamorphosis is carti's maturity and his tendency to completely change his music sonically. He would never have done this kind of album 4 years ago if he hadn't gone through this metamorphosis and straying off finding new sounds. He foreshadowed all of this slowly in his album Die Lit with Flatbed Freestyle and R.I.P, but went full throttle in this album. Personally I would have recommended listening to his discography chronologically as it would have highlighted the "metamorphosis" strongly
Let’s be real, both selftitled and die lit are very boring in comparison. I think wlr is enough of carti for bob, atleast until carti drops another project.

@@Matt-cu8ly man shut up 😭😭😭 he said "i had to change my whole swag on some other shit" literally proving what i said

it def grows on u, its just a really diff sound
@UCnbfvSNdLrjNkhL0vI1o_1A stfu you just a bandwagon that does what everyone else does . You gave it a 1/10 because that’s what Others said…. Now you like it bc others like it.
I loved WLR first listen
30:05 the “metamorphosis” carti is talking about is the style of music he is making now opposed to just a couple years ago. his last project “Die Lit” has a completely different sound to it, more of a mesmerizing melodic sound. with wlr, it’s more dependent on hard-hitting drums, loud and raspy vocals, almost a blend of punk and rap. also, his clothing style has changed drastically from just a couple years ago, as in he used to dress more basic in aesthetics and would wear streetwear like supreme, off white and jordan’s. now he dresses as some have dubbed like “a bisexual vampire”, focused more on high fashion designer, mainly black clothing.

@@christoomelodic7033 I’m fucking weak
By far the best album reviewer I’ve seen and for someone who doesn’t listen to hip hop you are really good at finding the taste in things. Mad respect
the way you described control made me see the song from a different perspective, you described it so perfectly, thank you so much
I recommend watching his rolling loud performance from a few days ago, he played tracks from the album but the instrumentals have been changed to a more "rock" vibe with guitars added etc. You might enjoy that!
My son and I tried doing a live reaction video last week, but we couldn't find any videos of decent quality. Either the audio was poor or the video itself was shaky/far back/poor angle/etc

I almost agree, but generational artists are responsible for the production, track and vocals..he is only vocals, I wish these artsits included the producers more as part of a group rather than one person
@@oldben1800 Producers are more relevant than ever now, plenty of them have a name as relevant as the vocal artist they work with.

Seriously, this is my favorite album reaction I’ve heard for WLR. And for a beginner hip hop listener your understanding for the music aspect is amazing. Definitely give All of Kid Cudi’s albums listen!!
Kid Cuid will happen at some point, for sure
totally agree
@@bobthepoppop Its TIME! Haha 😂😂😂😂 I think you should listen to Kid Cudi's debut album before you do Kids See Ghosts, as it is the album that made him who he is and solidified him as one of the greats in Hip Hop, Music and Pop Culture in general. His music is quite psychedelic, cinematic, and he is way more introspective and lyrically meaning than he displayed in this track. He uses his hums to set the mood of the tracks really well. As a lover of lyrics I think you will really appreciate Cudi. He also has a whole Grunge Rock album lol 😂Loving your videos btw, keep it going! 👍😁👍
@@bobthepoppop Kid Cuid
@@bobthepoppop yeah kid cudi would be awesome dude he got the melody he got the beats he got the rhytm even tho he's very known i'd still say he is quite underrated

he’s considered one of the progenitors of that in the 2010s
Yes. If you’re catching on to that fact then Thug is the perfect artist for you.

Just found your channel and I had to sub, this is super dope content to me. My dad raised me on hiphop & metal, from as young as I can remember i was listening to people like hov, em, epmd, gangstarr as well as tool, lamb of god, mastodon, etc. so this channel hits home for me. Super dope seeing you attempt to understand stuff like carti instead of immediately writing it off.
You’re the man for reviewing this album. It’s one of my top ten all time. Your review of Kendrick Lamar’s latest album was beautiful. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
This is the most wholesome reaction I’ve ever seen. Your very underrated as a content creator
carti remix if you fw carti remixes th-cam.com/video/DhAYbxMzIaU/w-d-xo.html
I think that by the "friendly ass ****" line, Carti is talking about people that pretend to be your friend to take advantage of you.
Yup exactly
Exactly!
Yep
Yes exactly
Also refers to someone who wants to be your “friend” even when they’re equally “friends” with someone in opposition to you, whether that be in business or blood.
Takes notes - this man does music analysis the right way. Approaches with an open mind. Takes the time to absorb, research. Major salute.

You gotta check out "death race for love" by the posthumous juice wrld i think you will really enjoy his sound sadly he passed in December of 2019 but its still very worth checking it out💙
I'm also a fan of rock 80s. My favorite band is REO Speedwagon
🧛🏿🧛🏿‼️⁉️
Glad you liked it, I think we all knew it wasn’t going to be your favorite, but I feel like this was the perfect artist to listen to in order to understand the whole ”voice as a instrument” mindset. Whole lotta red stands out in the current rap climate, and considering most rap fans don’t enjoy the album I think it’s great that you went into it open-minded and gave your honest opinion instead of dismissing it.
Should’ve suggested young thug if that was the case
@@Kaifly4 nah thug is boring asf nowadays, carti bringing sum new
@@Kaifly4 I agree, a older project from thug would be a great reaction
I'm gonna spend the next few days listening to this and Rodeo again. I feel like those two albums will really help me understand this cross section of hip-hop and what's being done with the music/sound/voice
@@bobthepoppop listen to playboi carti die lit
i love the way he describes carti as using his voice as a instrument that’s what i’ve been wanting to tell people this whole time but i had no idea how to put it
Man. I’ve listened to hip hop as my main genre for years and I had a much harder time getting into and appreciating WLR than you, someone much less experienced with the genre and the more extreme sides of it. I hope that at some point in life I can learn to appreciate music as easily as you. Truly inspiring.
Lmao it’s not that deep
It’s just a difference in culture
You listen to too much rap music. Listen to more genres, like late 70s punk and in the 80s when metal really started. That is what this album songs like to me from an energy/vibe stand point
@@cheeseballs9579 I listen to everything, including punk from multiple decades, but for me the really abrasive distorted synths aren’t at all akin to a distorted guitar for example, and although I was a playboi carti fan before WLR it was a bit overwhelming.
@@ezrahaskard3527 yeah you need help g
the craziest part about this video is him not laughing when he first heard the vamp anthem intro, the “good shit” bar on sky, or the voice on teen x 💀
not hearing something along the lines of "castlevania ass beat" is mind blowing
Something I never realized about Carti’s music until watching this reaction is how vital pop culture context is to hip hop. I mean, I knew it was important of course when discussing songs that are about social issues, but there are actually so many little cultural artifacts in this album that you (by not fault of your own) couldn’t have picked up on without being invested in Carti’s music for years. Your association with “Vamp” as Red for Bloods the gang is very cool, but I’m not even sure carti meant anything that deep. He literally has been dressing like a vampire for two years and posting on Instagram strange photos of himself that were a total departure from his earlier image (hence DJ Akademics reference to these posts on the intro of ‘Control’: many hip hop fans thought these photos were “gay”). Beyond that: in metamorphosis, Carti sings about using “hieroglyphics” because people can’t understand him, which is a meta and tongue-in-cheek reference to the whole industry telling him his lyrics were garbage. Whole Lotta Red is Carti being the best at being the worst. Embracing punk rock aesthetics to say the least in the coolest way possible and get out before the track gets boring. It is honestly an incredible artistic statement and (unfortunately for your rap discovery journey) is actually kind of an end marker for the “trap” genre, the final stage before a, well, Metamorphosis. I could go on about other little moments: Vamp anthem sampling a classic Vampire movie theme while Carti calls his legion of “vamps” fans to ride with him and the rest of the industry to “get ready” (imagine this track at a concert) or the usually not-concerned-with-subject-matter Carti screaming his heart out over his love for his dead brother (Die4Guy) its and explosive, emotional and exhilarating album that deserves to be heard as loud as possible with as many people as possible. To me, it’s a masterpiece that can only truly be appreciated with enough cultural context. The thing is though, you HAD to hear this record at some point, And I’m really impressed you gave it this much careful consideration and thought. You’re a gem on this platform, man - enjoy the ride!
Typo: not Carti’s dead brother - his willingness to die for his brother. My bad!
I’ve been listening to rap since as long as I can remember (like most millennials) and even I had to start adjusting my ears in the 2010s when trap took over. I can’t imagine how jarring it might be for someone going from the funk/soul inspired old school hip hop into the electronic inspired Southern style of trap. Jumping from something like College Dropout into this would make you wonder where exactly the appeal is coming from.
There are so many times when I'm trying to digest something in a song and I know I have a massive knowledge gap regarding the immediate topic. It makes it very tough, so I'm glad you picked up on this. It's also why I try to focus on my own interpretation and hear what the song is telling me rather than trying to read all the side notes on Genius.com. Those notes can help me understand more, but I like letting the art speak to me however it can, even if it means I'm wildly incorrect haha
But I think that makes it fun for you guys, too. A different perspective. Different mindset. Thanks for commenting on this specifically. Lack of context/knowledge has made song albums a real challenge.
Bob the Poppop It’s really cool to hear the raw/initial thoughts you have without knowing much about the artist. Love the videos and your interpretations
this album is deeper about gangs than people realize
I respect you for stepping out an experiencing an entirely different world of music. IMO if you watch live concert videos of Carti performaning WLR songs, they sound even better with electric guitars in the background and even HARDER base.
True rockstar stuff. Give it a shot
I love how you were able to appreciate what hes doing, i understand this definitely is not a very accessable sound for new hiphop listeners, but if u were able to give it a whirl im sure that theres a lot more music out there that you will enjoy
don’t be self conscious about ur eyes bro, i didn’t even notice them one bit, u looking good bro
Your immediate reaction to New Neon and liking that sound the most means you neeed to listen to his past albums Die Lit and Self Titled dude, those albums are mostly that type of sound and that’s what he’s been known for, before WLR which was actually his first try at a “punk” sounding album
IDK how people weren’t ready for his punk style because to me RIP was so weird in die lit until WLR came along and i was ohhhhhhh
my exact thoughts
Carti as always had the punk style. That’s been his vibe the whole time. That ain’t nothing new. He just starting screaming and adding more bass
thank you, someone who's genuinely listening to all the details and synergy between beat & vocals
I legit watched this whole video to see your reaction to this work of art. Keep it up.
Wow, didn't think you'd be listening to Whole Lotta Red this soon lol, really interested to see what your next pick will be (hopefully My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy)

I REALLY wanna do more Kendrick Lamar. Section 80 impressed the shit out of me, and I've heard he gets pretty deep with lyrics. My kind of jam, for sure. Don't be surprised if the next album is one from Kendrick.

The 🔑 when listening to music today is staying open minded! Hip hop has evolved so much that if you don’t get on track you’ll be stuck in the past. I can appreciate all eras of music without comparing. It was a transition for anybody born during or before the new millennium …
I appreciate how you chose to find out what intrigues your ear naturally and let that lead your perception to then highlight what you do like. A lot of people listen to Carti and are quick to say what they don’t like so thank you for having an open ear
wow this is amazing. you’re in depth discussion about each song has completely changed my perspective on this album and i’ve been listening since release
I hope you’ll like it and I think it’s great that you added timeframes so helpful
Adding timestamps is a must. Now that I'm getting views I need to stop slacking and start treating this like a real channel. I gotta up my game!

Didn’t think it would get taken down so quickly💔 here again to rewatch tho
Very often cartis, travis’ lyrics are just images of things (‘lamborghini parked outside its purple like lean’) and should be digested as such. Even if they dont neccessarily have the depth they still can be appreciated and enjoyed

i've had this video recommended for like that past couple days and i put off watching this but i definitely shouldn't have. with you just getting into hip hop/ rap it's super cool to see your reaction. 110% subscribing!
To understand the “metamorphosis” and understand the grand context of that word relating to the album, you would have to listen to Carti’s earlier work. This album WLR was the most different, experimental piece of work he’s ever done. Before WLR, you can see on his previous album Die Lit how the transition started with flirtations of rock and different beats. Before DIE lit his notable work was Self-Titled Playboi Carti, which is and sounds completely different from WLR but it sounds similar to Die Lit. From the start of his career and up to WLR he’s evolving, and I believe after watching your video that he still is evolving.
On top of that, I will admit I love the album. But I believe most of these songs were made more to perform than to listen thru headphones. Mosh pit music
damn now you gotta do Die Lit, one of the greatest trap albums ever
He gotta do TLOP4

Dude I respect you so goddamn much as a music head, it’s amazing how you listened to feed back and seemed to have created a formula to enjoy the new age of music, thank you for spreading that sometimes it’s more of the vibe and sound rather than lyrics, although still remembering lyrics can sometimes be important and be the main focus in todays age still. New age has everything not one thing and you showed that very well!!! Thank you sir!!!
1:09:20 I loved that interpretation so much and it actually makes so much sense. I too believe that he meant it like that.
hearing you compare m3tamorphosis and forty six & 2 is honestly great i love both the songs and honestly your entire way you listen to this album is so wonderful
With Playboi Carti being in my top 5 favorite rappers list. I can say, you hit this entire album on the Fucking Nose👏🏾 respect my g. This is my first time seeing any of your videos by the way🔥.
I think you would be kinda interested in his 2021 Rolling Loud NYC performance

Best Unbiased reactions i ever seen on youtube! keep the videos flowing bro love them!! and this coming from a black guy
This is hands down one of the best album reactions/reviews I have ever watched. I already enjoyed this album but the comments you made make me appreciate it even more. I love how you stayed so optimistic throughout the whole listen even though this music is completely different than what you are used to. Others would have dismissed such a foreign sound but you made an effort to understand this album from both a musical and lyrical standpoint. Subscribed.
The metamorphosis is his whole music sound. He has changed his swag to gangster to punk.
Also opium is cartis label
@@828kaydo gangster punk
no way really i did not know that
bob u re such an intelligent
individual and music listener u clearly understood carti and thats just fascinating to watch 4me :) def the best album reaction i have ever watched
This is a technical explanation of why WLR was so influential to modern hip hop. Explained by someone who knows music and not some random trap head.
lol its funny because its true. bob understands hip hop more than a lot of people who listen because he actually knows music
Saw him perform live in phoenix. He opened the show with Stop Breathing and it was crazy. This is the perfect body of work to perform live. 🧛🏽♂️🧛🏽♂️🧛🏽♂️
Broooo that was the saddest day of my life :( hopefully he comes back
bro i was at the orlando show it was crazyyyyyyyyy so fucking hype

I wanna see wlr live one day so badly
Around the 30:00 minute mark on the song M3tamorphosis, i think the evolution he's talking about, is his own artistic evolution. Cartis initial entrance on to the rap scene, was as a fairly average uninspiring artist (in my opinion of course), but now that he has spent time working on 3 albums (that have all become more and more experimental), he is morphing into someone i regard as one of the most forward thinking, new and experimental rappers out there. I get his lyrics are far from deep or layered, but as most people have pointed out, thats not the reason we are listening, i suspect most of us are listening because he's a one of a kind artist in the landscape today.
lmao he has always been in the forefront of experimentation when he was cash carti
He wasn’t uninspiring at the early stages because everyone was copying him even back then. I think this is a big reason why he keeps changing up his sound
His lyrics aren’t deep but they definitely are layered
Yea a huge context this guy didnt realize is that Whole Lotta Red is a giant step outside Carti's previous boundaries
Metamorphosis like butterflies 🦋 he is very first person that I know use this emoji before it’s famous with all tiktok thot and wokeuplikethis* everybody tryna be carti so bad (all them ad-lips talk about what, huh he also got a song called WHAT it’s was amazing) so he had to Metamorphosis change his swag on some other shit /he got song called OTHER SHIT too and I love it
slang in Opium is his music record reference to hope it’s feel good without actually fixing things and make it’s even worse
Feel like you would really appreciate seeing the live versions of these songs. Carti has a guitar player now who sprinkles in a bunch of improv really reinforcing the vocals as another instrument and bringing more attention to the beat and instrumental
Loved your reaction Bob! If only more people had that same mindset going into different genres. Keep it up
I’m surprised at how positive this review was, considering how hard it is for someone new to Carti to get into his music and understand it. If you need another album where another musician uses his voice as an instrument, Trippie Redd’s Life’s a Trip is another album looking into. Looking forward to seeing you venture into the world of hiphop more!
based on the songs you really enjoyed, die lit would be another great album to listen to if you haven’t already. it’s his 2nd album and a lot of people see it as his best and it has a very specific and trippy sound that you might like

I really respect that you are actually opening your ears and really really going in to detail and listening and not comparing it too a different sound of music because rap has a lot of different sounds but there all rap sounds.
Metamorphosis was the frame he had to do to change his style because a lot of rappers where claiming they “gave”him his style and accused him of stealing the swag and truly he was in a league of his own, so when he made this cd, it was a full 180 turn around and created a new style that eventually was stolen and used for new rappers today. He’s become a become of new hip hop trap music. A legend now in the rap 🌎 glad you did this . Amazing commentary
I really appreciate your openness and willingness to completely dive into a genre you no nothing about and find the value in it. Your enthusiasm about finding new music inspires me to listen to all the stuff you recommend! Keep going I love your content!
I can feel your love for music and not just one genre respect not many know how to stop analyzing the song instead of enjoying it and vibing
this man is the chillest dude i’ve ever seen, he seems like he would be a great friend yk? he seems like a guy that would be nice to know.
this video is absolutely amazing.
Even as a Carti fan, i was so quick to throw negative judgement when I heard this album for the first time. I think it’s so great how open minded you are even as a person fairly new to hip hop. Also think it’s cool how you really took people’s advice from the Rodeo album review. Great review and a truly different perspective from other reviews 🤘
faxx im a carti fan too but i just hated the album at the first listen but it ended up growing on me. especially tracks like stop breathing, jump out the house, teen x.
@@mybloodyvalentine2316 I swear I’m the only one who liked it on their first listen but I wasn’t really a carti fan at the time despite liking what I had heard. Kinda interesting
You’re not a carti fan stop, real carti fans rode from the first listen
@@JhonyandBeamer being a fan doesn’t mean you have to “ride” with an artist’s album upon first listen. Just because an artist releases something does not mean you as a fan have to automatically like it. It can take time. Objectivity is what separates fans from straight up stans who will literally do anything for their artist.
The way people first felt about this album is how people first felt about Michael Jackson’s invincible album in 2001
huge respect for giving it a listen and giving us your thoughts, really enjoyed the video
Im laughing at how much i enjoyed this reaction to an album i like so much. From your breakdown of the sounds/lyrics to your inferences about his life and what it would be like in his shoes. Even made me realize that people listen to music differently. Like how i almost strictly listen for sound/production without a care for lyrics (prob the producer in me) and how people like my friend who listens mostly for lyrics (prob the singer in her).
From a vamp, great vid 🧛🏿♂️
On Punk Monks, at least how i interpreted it, was that he wasn’t specifically saying he dislikes people who are friendly, more that he dislikes people who are fake. Or people who are just using him to advance themselves. This ties back into the verse where he’s talking about all these rappers he was close with before they were popular, wanting to sign them and help them grow, and basically getting screwed over or they turned his back on him. And no because of this he’s basically just cynical and wants nothing to do with anybody. Exemplified with the ‘don’t talk to me’ line.
