Whole Lotta Trash

After 3 years of not dropping any music, Playboi Carti finally released his album Whole Lotta Red. One of the most hyped albums ever turned out to be a major disappointment. 

This album provided almost nothing to the music industry and was honestly just cringe to listen to. It took three years to make this but it sounds like it was made in three days. The lyrics if you could even understand them we’re nothing short of laughable. All of his songs had this high scratchy voice that could be compared to a mouse screeching. It’s enough to make your ears bleed. Some people have even called this the worst album ever released. Being so hyped up and being predicted to be Album of the year. What we got was just utterly horrible. This was the Cyberpunk 2077 of the music world.

What makes this even worse is the fact that this dropped on Christmas day. From the Instagram comments to the user reviews, it seemed like most Carti fans' Christmas days were ruined by this disgusting album. What I find most shocking about this is the fact that critique reviews are actually praising this album, People like Rolling Stone calling it “innovative” and “nothing like the music world has ever seen” in their first impressions of the album.  Yeah the world has never seen anything like this in terms of mice noises.

Taking my music bias aside I can understand people liking this album. You’re entitled to your own opinion. But to call this album of the year? Especially when albums like Legends Never Die by Juice WRLD or Savage Mode 2 by 21 Savage and Metro Boomin scored higher on the music scale (rated 1 out 10) on AOTY? There’s no reasonable debate about this.

The album is objectively bad in terms of lyrics, flow, and beats. But if that’s your taste then whatever floats your boat. But no way is Playboi Carti is some sort of lyrical genius for this album.
