The song then proceeds to unravel in the best way possible, with Carti actually losing his mind on the ad libs with a constant “WHAT” that if seen on paper could be thought to sound like how he’s always said it throughout his career. The pain, the hate, the anger, it's all felt in those 2 lines. While a line like that could go under the radar on any other artist’s album, Carti delivers the line in a way that it is literally embroidered into your brain. “EVER SINCE MY BROTHER DIED x2 I BEEN THINKIN BOUT HOMICIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE” is the perfect example of Carti’s delivery on this project. Though the song starts off that strong, it literally only gets crazier. As soon as the beat drops on this song, its like being in a hellcat going 0-100 in 1 second. Starting off with a hook that calls back to the OG Rockstar, Gucci Mane, Carti on this track is essentially playing the ultimate game of chicken with you. After the somewhat breather that go2damoon is (i am a kanye stan so i like the verse but i understand people gripes with it) we instantly get into easily one of, if not the most hard hitting Carti song I ever heard. Stop Breathing is something we must get out the way before going any further. And for this I commend him, for not only being the most exciting rap artist, but an equally gifted performance artist. Carti is truly sacrificing himself as a person for his art, going beyond music and becoming a human embodiment of the aesthetic he has crafted. And while this is negative on his health, I think he and I both know this is a necessary evil for the level of work he is trying to put out. Songs like Sky, iloveuihateu, Teen X, and F33l Lik3 Dyin dive deep into Carti’s struggle with addiction, and how its effcting his everyday life. And thats a big theme on this album, Carti while living the Rockstar lifestyle hes been building towards for the last decade, is clearly suffering from the side effects.

The entire project feels like a Playboi Carti movie filmed by the Safdie Brothers, constantly at the edge of your seat, dreading the inevitable bad ending.

A fast paced, heart racing, soul shaking intro that perfectly establishes the sound and tone of this album. Essentially saying, if you want Die Lit and Self Titled, go listen to Die Lit and Self Titled. “Never too much” is chanted almost in a ritual esque manner throughout the track, serving as a pseudo hook, followed by him croning “ROCK STAR MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADE” explaining to his audience that this is who Carti is now. He isn't happy to be here, he isn't in a humble place, he’s itching for a feeling that he has been chasing physically and sonically for years now. This intro is Carti’s first as a truly established artist almost half a decade into his career. Rockstar Made is exactly what it sounds like. If Location was Carti arriving to the rap game, and Long Time was him being happy to be here. And now with Whole Lotta Red, he has shown yet again that artistically he is miles ahead of the competition. From early on with his first project, the concise and eclectic album was a great sign for more to come from Jordaaaaan. Amongst his peers, he and his music have always stood head and shoulders above the rest, and it seems that he has understood and recognized what it truly means to be an artist. Playboi Carti has been since 2017 easily the most exciting new rap artist. With his latest effort Whole Lotta Red, Playboi Carti shows us he does not have imposter syndrome, and is truly the rockstar he claims to be. He did it with Self Titled, then the next year with Die Lit, and while he has been gone for longer than expected, this nigga did not dissapoint.

The world could be falling apart, the concept of reality as we know could be tearing, god could be splitting the galaxy in half, and this nigga carti would still put out a classic. Nothing in this life is promised, well except one thing. The weather, the election, the snkrs app, you get the point. There's many things on earth that are not certain.
