The instrumental creeps like a giant, silhouetted arachnid through a swamp in the dead of night. Its emaciated, brittle legs straining as it wades through clotting bog and marsh.
Metro's Future-voiced tag sounds emotionally aching and wounded. The agony of a fleeting apparition.
I actually tend to find 21 Savage himself a bit childish and embarrassing. A young Barty in his self-proclaimed cool club.
But then comes Offset like a frilly-sleeved musketeer ready to rescue us with his flicking and swishing verbal fencing. A whack-a-mole flow ducking and diving; atomised, agile and angular.
The way his Auto-Tune tremolo on the words “gone, gone, gone” resembles the stumbling string sample in the background is deliciously transhuman. “Life is the matrix” after all.
Offset has an uncanny ability to inject his lyrics with a mythological grandeur. “You keep the fire, but you aim at the moon, I get the fire and I aim at your noon” is Promethean. “We the wave and we big like typhoon” like Poseidon. “They biting my drip like a sabre” pantheistic. “Who is my neighbour?” biblical. “I live on the island I’m sacred”, a modern day Orpheus.
Quavo’s buildup is similarly a thing of legend. Mummified chants from the pyramids. A hymn from a long-dead civilisation. “Murmurs from a martian crypt” as rap pundit Sadman Barty put it.
His verse is outright heroic. Like the ascent of the spirit from the body to the heavens. Mohammad flow to Quds. An eschatological epic. That ascending melody line in the instrumental. Those mourning yet triumphant backing vocals.
Rap-ture. Salvation.
Rap saved me.
i'm also very much trying to create a narrative of mumble rap that excludes tekashi69, xxxtentacion, lil yachty, etc.
ultimately forge a delineation between mumble rap and soundcloud rap.
I wish I knew what you were talking about.
