It’s so easy to meme on Yeat’s music, but its popularity obviously says a lot about our generation and the kind of music we want to spend our days hearing. Consider it another extension of Carti’s fetishization of the voice-as-texture, a mode where no word or zany inflection is too silly to spew out of your mouth as long as it sounds electric and makes fans want to go crazy, a mind-numbing distraction from the chaos swirling everywhere. It’s an anti-politics of vibes and mosh pits, silly slang and gleaming ad-libs, the musical form of corecore’s surreal realness. He has enough memorable one-liners and suddenly vulnerable, reflective lyrics, and a commitment to the craft and his own sound, that fans respect him and feel like they can relate.
