    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

    Name a few

    this is definitely true of that like mid 2010s crew of rappers, like when ppl would call migos or Travis 'mumble rap'.

    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

    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.

    Mans calling Uzi and thug mumble rap confuses me too cuz they were SINGING and YELLING

    doesnt warrant a mumble rap label to exist in any shape or form. five to ten dudes mumbling on their tracks and its an entire subsect of rap sound getting called that for some reason

    Spitting

    if you have an issue w lyrical content then be clear and say that, when this label came out around 2015 and was being bestowed upon Future and Migos and Uzi of all people who weren’t even mumbling it was def racist af lol. created a feedback loop where the backlash towards old heads coining this s*** got so strong that the following generation actually started mumbling. self fulfilling prophecy

    Yea basically was just people not understand certain accents and s*** lol “I don’t even know what he’s saying” like ok bruh go to ATL tf

    Wild how ppl cry about fantano and zane n whatever while simultaneously don't know any other journalists or interviewers

  • Mumble rap has just evolved into s*** rap. Its s***. Its trash. It lacks substance, it's not even catchy, it's carried by production. Clipse really showed how it's supposed to be done. Hopefully that run and album shifts things
