“The Atlanta rapper’s third record is both wildly innovative and strikingly consistent. It’s hard, melodic, experimental, and unlike anything else happening in mainstream rap.”
“On the most anticipated and ambitious project of his career, the SoundCloud-rap icon channels the cathartic spectacle of metal and hardcore punk.”
“disappointing follow-up boasts moments of brilliance”
“Whole Lotta Red will probably be appreciated more for its boldest ideas than its overall execution.”
“- panning the ad libs and letting them come from both sides - only one syllable that sometimes kinda slides - listening to music like maud would do - closed eyes & imagination - those ad libs carry so many emotions - the song comes alive - haha the control beat could have easily been on the fool and no one would have noticed - all-over REVOLUTIONARY - forgot what crazy of a banger on that time is - "one shot and he bl33d PLEASE DON'T BOTHER ME" so smooth (over) - i gott go 🍌 one time, i fucked that bitch in 🇵🇦 - the prince of the vampires 🍷🧛🏼”
“Revolutionary. Who would’ve thought Carti would’ve birthed and created so many new rappers and sounds in today’s games. Probably the most iconic rapper of our current generation and so many rappers inspire and pay homage to his career while he is still active. Loved every single song. First listen was amazing, glad people took time to realize the greatness.”
“A really tough listen at times, Carti really leans into the rockstar/rage style on this album but also uses this ridiculous baby voice throughout the album too. Definitely some good things on the album but majority is a struggle to get through. Top songs are ‘Slay3r’ ‘Vamp Anthem’ ‘Place’ ‘ILoveUIHateU’ ‘Not Playing’”
“Everthing about this album is so beautiful and original, nobody will do it better than King Vamp. This album is truly ahead of its time and changed music forever. It’s one of the musical benchmarks we will look back at hundreds of years from now. Thank you Playboi Carti.”
“The Carti rockstar sound is in full effect on whole lotta red. I believe this is the most influential album of the decade. It has shaped the sound of the current underground scene. Truly a masterpiece”
“Say what you want it’s a Classic that should be shown to everyone who likes rap”
“Proper trap album with Carti's sound - pretty iconic, which is pretty deserved.”
“Lamborghini parked outside its purple like lean”
