But let’s hope for the best! Word from his family, friends, and management is he’ll be released before the year’s end. Nothing can stop Gucci, except drugs of course. He’s also been incarcerated for awhile now, but that hasn’t stopped him from releasing over 20 projects throughout his stay in prison. Luckily, Big GuWop has been off the juice for some time now. He always sounds like he’s congested, but during his years of lean addiction he was at his most indecipherable. If you listen through Gucci’s discography you can pinpoint the periods in which he was most affected by lean. He’s almost fully responsible for the careers of Nicki Minaj, Migos, and a laundry list of others (including most on this list.) You can’t talk modern rap, Southern rap, or mumble rap without mentioning Gucci. He’s a pioneer who paved the way for so many. Whether you like him or not, Gucci’s still the king of ignorant rap. Young Thug’s about as questionable as a human being gets but his music is (most of the time) remarkable, and he’s a fascinating character. Thug has more melody than Wayne, though, and a lot more mystery behind his art form. Be prepared for some Lil’ Wayne-esque raspy whimpering over incredible beats. His work is at least worth checking out if you’re not already familiar. Nobody’s sure what he’s doing most of the time, but it’s impossible to deny he’s a true artist and a captivating individual. Nobody’s writing lyrics as bizarre as his. He hits a million views in a day with each new video. The man’s Instagram posts stir up constant debate regarding his sexual orientation and the current state of hip-hop. He may very well be Rosemary’s Baby.Īrguably the most talked about rapper of the decade, Young Thug is endlessly bringing new sounds and styles to rap culture. The guy’s everywhere and not slowing down anytime soon. I believed the Illuminati to be hokey until Fetty’s Wap’s overnight rise to being the most played artist in music then touring with Taylor Swift. I’d also like to note I’m not convinced Fetty Wap isn’t the devil, or at least working for him. He should stick with being catchy, as that’s his forte. His verses are horrendous, but he’s rap’s current king of hooks.
#List of mumble rappers how to
I’ve heard songs from him and almost forgotten how to read in the process. Who knew sounding like you’re being awoken by stab wounds could sound delightful?Īs an honest man, I can admit Fetty isn’t always on his A-game, though. He can groan magnificently on almost anything, which he’s proven on multiple big tracks. Fetty Wap is more than a one-hit wonder, despite what you may think. I imagine you’re aware of the overplayed nightmare that “Trap Queen” was, and may still be. I’m not saying these are all incredibly talented musical artists merely that these are the go-to guys in the field of ignorant, difficult to make out rap. These incoherent murmurers are coming out of the woodwork, but I can list in confidence who laid the foundation, and who’s best at capturing the sound. I am, however, here to force upon you my tentative list of the best mumbling rappers in the game. Who’s to say whether it’s a good or bad thing? I’m not. Hence why we the listeners get a lot of catchy music we can’t understand that’s not really about anything of value. Rap has grown to emphasize melodic flow over thumping beats more so than the lyrics within or meaning behind. It’s what the listeners want to vibe to and bump while they also engage in illicit drug use. In fact, modern rappers are so leaned out that “mumble rap” could be considered a subgenre of its own. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to understand what’s being said in a lot of today’s rap, especially in the south. Aside from being a hot subject in songs, “liquid heroin” is also altering the genre’s sound entirely. Evidently dirty Sprite is the choice beverage among the rap community, and they don’t shy from propelling this addiction onto audiences. You’ll have a tough time finding current mainstream hip-hop that doesn’t mention lean. Go listen to any rap song from the last several years if you don’t take my word for it. It’s been a subject in hip-hop for decades, originating in Houston, but nowadays it seems every rapper’s on the purple drank. Prescription cough syrup, aka “lean,” has taken over the rap game.
