It has this great duality of seeming both happy and sad. I've gotten a couple more album listens in, and I can see why people like the opening track so much.
@@bobthepoppop Perfect look at it. I was going through many troubles and this song related to what I was feeling, when I was in a better mood I had another look at the song and I felt almost inspired amd just glad for well being. Crazy how a carti song would make me feel like that lol
@@cheeseballs9579 i dont think u have to call a whole genre trash because there are mainstream artists u dont like. there are great trap albums like ds2 for example.
I used to hate rap the didn't have message or meaning when I was younger, but I learned to distinguish music with a message and music for the energy/vibe. I learned to appreciate this album
8:00 “I was wondering if this was a good feeling or a bad feeling” thats whats so fucking good about this shit. Ive both cried to Long Time and felt like im on top the world. It means whatever you make of it, its excellent
1:13:41 I think those guitar riffs you're talking about are from his shows, they usually play the song on the guitar before dropping the beat, which makes it even more fun to rage to... Metalheads and Rockers usually always diss carti's concerts rages and moshpits, simply because they think we're copying them and doing it to "trash music". Which makes me love your channel even more because you're so open about music and I'm loving seeing you dive into this type of music, you've caught my attention since the Yeezus reaction. Props to you Bob! (Reposted this comment since the other video got blocked)
I think the guitar riffs make perfect sense with music like this. I honestly want more. I think Playboi is on the verge of creating a whole new genre of music, one that can be a perfect collision of rap, rock and techno. I look forward to what he does on his next album 🤘
I actually started a reaction to the Rolling Loud NYC show, but I realized about 10 minutes in that I was just sitting there watching it and not really saying anything. It was a great show, but I did a poor job of reacting to it, so I chose not to complete the video 😢
a lot of these reactors are really close minded and not open to a lot of things, and that’s why most of them don’t like carti because he’s always changing his sound and trying out new things and i think that’s the thing a lot of people like of him, because he never gets boring. i love how open minded you are and try to understand the music, i love the content keep it up !
i hardcore relate to being inclined to analyse music lyrically , but becoming a fan of carti has made me listen to music differently, not just focus on lyrics, but also appreciate, expression, sound, rythym, vibe etc.
Yup, I agree. This being the second album of his I've done, I was surprised by how long it AGAIN took me to step back and listen in a more relaxed state of mind instead of analyzing everything. It's funny to me how hard it is to make my mind do that when lyrics are present.
I had always listened to music as a whole but I did have to adjust to listening to less lyrical rap, but I did it openly and willingly and it's been amazing
When you were laughing at some of the weirdness of Pull Up. I think it brings up an interesting point. As a Carti Stan I find myself laughing at some of the songs he makes. They are so goofy and off the wall that it makes me smile and laugh. He has such a focused creative vision and gives no fucks when making music. A lot of the songs are goofy and funny sounding. But that’s just another reason why I fall in love with how weird and creative they are
@@DJ-iq3bb pierre produced 15 tracks on die lit, lean 4 real was produced by indigo, long time by art dealer, shoota by maaly raw and no time by don cannon
I had to quit my job because i started beefing it with 50 year old mfs.. and I’m 21, i spend most of my time smoking weed on my RU-vid channel now, meanwhile i get back to the hustle 🤦♂️

I really like your style of reacting. You don't try to keep 1 consistent opinion, you say what you think about the music good or bad despite what you might've said previously
Albums shape my opinion over time. If you pay close attention, you'll see me start to settle in around tracks 3-4. This is where I start to get a feel for the album and what the artist may be trying to do and become more comfortable with what they're doing. From there, I let the artist shape my opinion further. To me, it's like reading a book. I cannot form an opinion until the end, but as I journey through it, the story told up to that point leaves a certain impression. Where the artist takes me is up to them

you seemed to like a lot of the instrumentals, 14 of them were produced by pierre bourne, hes my favorite producer, and you should check out more of his stuff if you liked the chill vibe of the beats on die lit
Love your honest take! This album really hit when it released however the development and change in sound in WLR is hard not to be more interested in. A lot more layers behind the sound and general feeling he tries to create .
When he says "RIP Fredo" he's talking about Fredo Santana. He was a rapper that died of a seizure. He played a big part in Chief Keef's career as a friend, rapper, and relative.
The key to enjoying this album is to have it on in the background while your chilling or in the car. If you just sit and listen with headphones it really makes you focus on the repetitive lyrics and is not as enjoyable.
I think it's amazing to just listen to on it's own! The beats and sonic textures along with Carti's voice and lyrics are all great and make a fantastic listen in my opinion.
i had said this on the original uncut video but most of these beats are made by rapper/producer pi’erre bouene, he is very fun and creative and makes his own music, whenever you hear a tag along the lines of “yo pi’erre you wanna come out here” it means the beat was made by him, he is a very underrated rapper who is only now starting to be appreciated and he made a phenomenal album named the life of pierre 5 if youre interested, mery christmas 🧛🏿
imo wanting ‘hip hop’ (loosely construed) to subvert its own stereotyping in media or its appearance as an outsider - having deep lyrics and messages and etc - is missing how artists like carti, or chicago drill artists eg. chief keef embody the conditions being addressed in more ‘conscious’ work within the music itself. for example the beats are constructed to sound as voilent as possible, repetitivity turning into a hypnotic near-boredom and etc., reflecting the lifestyle and conditions that j. cole or kendrick address lyrically. so there is more going on but its not lyrical (represented), but rather embodied (literal) i forgot who said it and how exactly but ‘conscious’ rap panders to white expectations of black music and experience, rather than challenging those expectations
this video made me so happy, you seem like a really cool guy and i love how you’re open to new music. such an enjoyable video to watch mainly because of how funny and entertaining you are :)
Yo bob 🧛🏼 The best part about carti is that there’s no one else rn that can sound like him. Everyone is on that quick and short staccato flow after die lit dropped. That isn’t to say how they can’t do it as good as carti, but it’s crazy too see the influence cartis sound had on the general hh landscape. Now that carti is kinda finding his niche with his wlr sound (or just his wlr vamp phase ) I wonder what else will be as influencing…
He’s influenced the underground trap scene so much over the past few years. The current rage sound is part of his influence too, and that’s blowing up like crazy now
im sorry these comments are so cringe these comments are so Brand new Carti early sound was just a chief keef copy just like everyone one who came from that 2015 - 2016 underground scene but on self title and Die lit he's inspired by young Thug and its obvious lol
@@gregoryjones7712 HEY HEY WHERE DA PROBLEM AT SPINNIN ON DEEZ PERCS LIKE IM A LAUNDROMAT BIG PLAYIN WIT MY WOOD SHE A LUMBERJACK I JUST TOUCHED A M BUT I DOUBLE DAT
i think what deters a lot of people from Die Lit at first is how minimalistic the tracks are. tracks like Love hurts, Old Money and HOME are bare bones to the core in comparison to usual rap/trap songs or even WLR which has a lot of more texture, layering and detail.
The biting reference on “no time” He meant Girls be biting (physically). Like below the belt. And ninjas be biting aka copying his style. Biting means stealing someone’s style, flow, swag. Just copying them.
Did you ever realize “Over” from WLR has the same general beat as “Long Time,” further proving you were spot on in thinking “Over” had a reflective quality to it.
I already like this dude. I hope to be a lot like him when I’m older. I’m always jumping to different music genres to learn and get more inspiration when producing. I love open minded people
I feel like the Intro both Die lit and WLR set the tone of the albums , like WLR rock star made set the tone that the album will be full of rock star beats and him acting like one and Die lit is mostly how the fame makes him feel and feeling a new way since he has all this fame and money
I genuinely want you to react to the original self-titled album, all three albums feel like completely different sounds and it would be interesting to see your reaction to it.
I know you said you've gotten a lot of Young Thug requests before, but Barter 6 is imo the best trap album ever so it's worth reiterating that it's definitely one to check out if you're interested in him!
I think you should watch a carti concert to really get a grasp of how the music is interpreted live. A lot of Carti’s music is really meant to be heard live, you can really see how his energy on the track can influence a track. Even songs that seem pretty mellow can have 10X more energy when he performs it. Try checking a concert video out.
yo bob idk if you’ll see this but i watched the original version of this video, but i came back because i remembered something that maybe you’d be interested in watching on your own time or for a video. I stumbled upon a video called “Playboi Carti ANTI-Concert Review” and it was this french professor who went with his son to a Carti concert, and had very interesting takes about the concert. it’s definitely worth a watch. anyways love the content bob.
I watched this video, and it was an interesting perspective. It was honestly a little hard to wrap my head around, because I'm so used to shows being a certain thing-a band playing a killer set and everyone jamming to it. What that guy is describing is exactly that, an anti-concert. Like... I get it, but I don't get it lol
Hey! Just wanted to thank you for the content, you’re one of my favourite RU-vid channels right now. I’d also recommend listening to AT LONG LAST ASAP sometime. Great album I think you’d appreciate
Bro these reactions are gold. Your definetly appealing to this audience . Keep doing reactions like this I could watch this all day! Lil uzi , Carti, etc!
if you liked lil uzi's verse on shoota you'd fall in love with his albums and if you do decide to react to him, do a poll on which album you should react to since he has alot of albums and all his albums sound different
your my new fav RU-vidr this is genius, you have never heard any of cartis music until now but you just understand why people are so into his work. you adapt so fast and respect the great aspect of the songs. great work you should look into his leaked songs for reviews would be so dope
The biting references are a reference to the key physical traits that people who are under influence of molly portray. When on molly, people tend to bite down too hard when just casually standing around. Causing lockjaw at times
I listened to this album in full while I painted once. My painting turned out well, and I remember really crediting this album for creative stimulation, and creating a mood. The energy of the album has an ebb and flow: loud & confident vs big sad & druggie.
44:35 Pi’erre made a chord progression and put a melody over it, then he put it in reverse and used it to make the best for foreign. no keyboard smearing to see here (=
To answer your questions on “fell in love” when carti says ‘she got her panties off, with no T” he simply means no t-shirt lol. & also when he says ‘ i put the doors up , she likes to show off’ he is referring to a super car he owns with doors that open vertically as most cars with that design are considered luxurious.
Once you finish DAMN, I suggest listening to jcole from his first mixtape to his most recent album. The two have been compared for years and both are on a lyrically different level than anyone else. They truly both lead the rap game. Jcole is heavily lyric based, so your style of analyzing every line will be needed for every song of his. I have a great feeling you will enjoy his music!
Love your videos dude, I just love the way how you're open-minded and don't care about carti not being a lyricist. It's all about the vibes, many people refuse to comprehend that. Keep doing your thing man !
You should definelty do a reaction to playboi carti's performance at Rolling Loud NY 2021. It's more or less Whole Lotta Red but with the guitar intros and it really in my opinion shows what the album was and is made of.
Carti is really similar to house music where you sort of stop thinking and just nod along, analyzing him can be overwhelming because of how low calorie it is - the music isn’t really an experience. If you want something a more stimulating I’d recommend my beautiful dark twisted fantasy and madvillainy
I did some listens in the car today while driving home, and that's the same conclusion I came to. It's more of a mellow head-nodding type of jam. I don't think it's as well suited for something like my style of reaction where it's being heavily analyzed. Nothing wrong with that either, just is what it is.
I’d love to see you react and analyze The Weeknd’s Trilogy, more specifically the House Of Balloons mixtape. I know R&B isn’t your thing but The Weeknd made a whole new wave of the R&B sound and themes. It does go deep and I really would like to see you analyze and interpret that mixtape/album.
It’s so refreshing to see someone listen to new music this openly. For the record Playboi Carti fans and his music in general gets a lot of hate for his lack of lyrical prowess. Your reference to his lyrics and his voice as an instrument is perfect and it shows you fully understand why his fan base is so large. It’s about the vibe and nothing technical
42:23 pretty sure its just a foreign car with butterfly doors which means the doors quite literally go up, unlike an actual car door which goes sideways
You mentioned the jump from Die lit to WLR and there’s a smoother transition if you had listened to his leaked songs during the 18-20 break some of these leaks are his best works, some of the best music to ever touch human ears (buffy the body, zodiac killa, skeleton, Cancún, no lie etc etc)
