Watch the whole clip b4 u post

He’s spitting

a lot of “mumble” rap was just southern accents no?

definetely lol just newer or young ones.

I feel like its the opposite
if you complained about it in 2016 or whenever migos were popping then that was stupid cuz they werent even mumbling
in 2025 there are people actually mumbling

like who? feel like this is pretty rare lol, and most of what would be considered "mumble rap" isnt still or is just accents being monotone/quieter

There's no point in trying to "reclaim" the word at this point though, it gives Tom MacDonald vibes

its true white kids like nettspend pmo

man yall r so fixated on this child what he even gotta do w dis

where did these interviewers come from bro it feels like overnight they just appeared and now they have every artist. the setup makes me uncomfortable it's like an interrogation

havent heard anyone saying that term in years tbh

True. I only see white em fans on Facebook do that

im p sure the podcast is called popcast, its by the ny times, they started interviews a ayear ago but only in the past 6 months did it change to like exclusively that i think

Jon Caramanica been in the game for a minute. Was a writer for XXL, editor for Vibe and been with NYT for the last 15 years. One of the best music journalists rn

Literally earl

Niontay another one

I feel like more often it's about generational taste and how people define real rap, I mostly see it get thrown around by ppl who don't fw melodic rap or anything that feels more vibe/aesthetic driven

I think it's mostly oldheads who miss the lyrical focus of the artists they grew up on, not surprisingly a lot of them are eminem fans lol

mid to late 2010s it was basically a blanket term purists threw at any new s*** they didn't fw

Who tf mumbling other Kanye in his half assed tracks

funny enough earl has a song where hes mumbling on the new album

Nah no way lmao

This is just saying something stupid and fake profound and people gassing it up to make it seem smart. It’s a stupid statement.

His little “you from Kansas” line probably had more racial undertones than when people say they don’t like mumble rap.

This didn't change my mind

tbh yea but i think its the perc/lean drawl that can make it harder to understand

i mean the people who got considered the paradigm of this in 2016 like the migos or even future isn't really that hard to understand what they're saying

Yeat trash tho

always has been
