My Take
Playboi Carti divides listeners, and that is exactly why I take him seriously. His baby-voiced, almost anti-lyrical delivery baffled me at first, but I came to hear it as a genuine formal invention: he treats the human voice as texture and percussion rather than a vehicle for words. As a pioneer of the rage sound and a real fashion influence, the Atlanta rapper has reshaped what a hip-hop star can be. Plenty of artists are easier to like; very few actually move a genre's boundaries. When future critics map modern hip-hop's mutations, I am confident Carti will be one of the coordinates.
