the idea of "guilty pleasures" is pretty cancerous honestly

idk it’s a way to give an artist a pass for some artistic choice that you don’t necessarily agree with, while still enjoying what’s worth enjoying

"idk it’s a way to give an artist a pass for some artistic choice that you don’t necessarily agree with, while still enjoying what’s worth enjoying"
but when 99 times out of 100 its used to disparage many of the same artists bc ppl envision themselves as somehow being too cool to enjoy their music, it becomes a big problem

I think it’s a problem when ur talking about a genre/album and not just one specific moment or song. So yea calling this alb guilty pleasure is wack

I have nothing against people who approach artistic value differently from me. But, I think this album has the kind of simplicity that sounds so cathartic. Within the repetitive hooks and the onomatopoeic samples, I think those are few from the elements that make this album artistic to me.

^nailed it
im happy to see carti and pierre striving towards a holistic *sound* w this album rather than a collection of great tracks. they seem to share this really unique sonic vision that more than makes up for what both artists lack in versatility

The way the production shakes my headphones while carti spamming the hook of "I'M ON THE BEANS FOR REAL/ I'M ON A LEAN FOR REAL" sounds so psychedelic to me. Such a fun album.
On an unrelated note, I used to despise the genre until I realized that I'm being a shallow ignorant.
Music, in this case it's hip-hop, can be approached from a lot of different angles. It could be conscious, deeply lyrical, mumbled, etc. It's all based on which context that the artists are trying to pursue. This mumbling trap banger shouldn't be judged based on how lyrically it is. Surely, it can be criticized in that sense. But, I think people who do that are completely missing the point of this entire subgenre.
I've also heard some claims that lyrical/conscious hip-hop is dead. That screams ignorance more than anything because the subgenre is still out there (one example is K.O.D by J. Cole sike), just gotta look out for it.

personally i just tend to value sound and style over anything related to technical skill anyway (i pretty much see it as irrelevant to quality), so i can get into a lot of the new wave pretty easily. if it sounds good, it sounds good
plus i think rappers like carti (and a good deal of the big names actually) r doing interesting things w voice, language, flow, etc. that work completely outside of tradition (which is exciting to the english nerd in me)

Yea I thought this was trash before but it grew hard on me. Fell In Luv & Old Money have been on repeat for a while now.
