week which you won't want to miss with that said let's get into this now we're fast approaching
18 months since playboi carti he dropped his long anticipated album whole lotta red and it's got me
wondering the question of what will carti's next era be what can we expect for his next sound and
appearance and i'm going to talk on that in this video i think if you're watching this you probably
agree with me that playboi carti's whole already was one of the best eras i've ever seen for a
modern hip hop album i think it's up there with astroworld in terms of the ability to create a
strong aesthetic and really stick to it in every way ranging from the merch to literally even
the way he tweets even the way he's cryptic the vampire look the vampire style you know carti kept
this up for literal years and created a really interesting image around the whole lot of red
even if it did take a long time for it to drop just looking back at these old tweets honestly
just bring back such a good time with kai tweeting things when he actually dropped the album king
vamp love you merry vampires we did it like i said sticking to that weird aesthetic within his tweets
we saw him say stuff like hey read out now love everyone then we of course saw all the teasers for
the deluxe which of course didn't come to be in the end but i think that was probably for the best
because the album was already pretty long and was already very enjoyable i think carti did do a good
job in general with whole lot red and as i said created such a strong aesthetic around the whole
album it's impossible to talk about this album without talking about the sound and the whole
new boundaries that carti was pushing this to when we actually heard some of the production on this
record now this was also echoed or continued in the leaks that we've seen over the past few months
namely the medusa leak which was another whole lot of red era track if you haven't heard of playboi
carti medusa go check it out i think literally i don't know if it's the full leak or it's just
a short song but it's like a one minute long one and a half minute long leak and it is absolute gas
should have been on a whole lot of red in my opinion we did see two other leaks as well more
recently which i've listened to a handful of times not quite on medusa level but once again
more amazing songs from that era katie really was in his bag everything he did from the rollout of
the album of course with it being a very long wait i think it ultimately was worth the wait and that
time in december where he was tweeting getting everyone excited people were thinking you know
is it just going to be another you know he's going to hype us up for no reason and it won't drop but
it ultimately came carti was father christmas in the end as he said himself and ultimately
the whole aesthetic around whole lot of red still kind of carries on now and i think that album is
slowly getting more praise that i am very very glad to see but you've got to ask the question
what comes next for carti we've seen that alluded to slightly with narcissist but at this point we
don't know whether that will continue it will go in a totally new direction it's important
to remember what seems like a lifetime ago when we saw carti teasing some sort
of narcissist drop on the 13th of september which ultimately turned out to be nothing
now this was something that a lot of people were talking about we saw free posts from carti
going on about this and naturally i was very hyped as well made a ton of content about it talking
about a new car era is this merch is this a new album you know what is actually going on here
now we did find out that there was some sort of album behind this we saw carti talking about
forget the click sample clearances drop the album narcissist is an album it is something but at this
point so much time has passed i really don't know what's going on with it we're nearly approaching
a year since these instagram posts four months away which is pretty damn crazy now like i said
we don't know whether this will be carti's next era but he did start to lay some groundworks
and some foundation for it and i personally did like the direction he was going with it
we saw some interesting stuff about some sort of cult instagram account which was tied to playboi
carti that once again went very quiet but there is some sort of new aesthetic here i really hope
carti hasn't left this behind and does continue to build on it of course at the moment we've
only really seen him drop merch with narcissist on and i believe this went alongside his tour
it was kind of the narcissist slash king vamp tour i do like i said hope that this develops to be a
bit more and i hope this is his next era because failing that he's really giving us no ideas of
what's next and as i said it's already been 18 months or sorry nearly 18 months since he last
dropped so you're gonna have to start to wonder when the next rollout will start and what sort of
aesthetic we can expect make sure you let me know what you're expecting from carti next when do you
think he's gonna drop and what sort of aesthetic can we expect i'm personally hoping narcissist
will continue and that whole vibe that theme that art style will continue and be developed further
let me know what you think of course don't forget to drop a like if you have enjoyed
i'll be back with my this week in rap series very soon of course on sunday don't forget to comment
as well and sub with the notification bell clicked and of course i'll catch you guys in the next one
