from his new Billboard interview - rap album of the decade is still coming this year it seems

Now in the midst of making his third studio album, I Am Music (planned for release by year's end), Carti is still the workaholic who made Whole Lotta Red, and the sessions for the project, at Carti's Means Street studio in Atlanta, have been predictably long and meticulous. Carti's style is in constant evolution, and he and Cardo already have a name for the sound they've been workshopping for the project: "burnt music." "We'll be in the studio, like, 'This music is burnt,' " explains Cardo, describing the sonics of DJ Toomp, DJ Paul, Juicy J, The Legendary Traxster and even the aesthetic of John Carpenter's movies as influences. When they first started working together four years ago, Cardo wasn't sure what style of beats Carti would want — whether he would be on the disorienting F1lthy wave or his pugnacious trap Pi'erre Bourne wave. They ended up building their creative relationship off "H00DBYAIR," which was originally intended for release on the 2021 Candyman soundtrack. (Carti ended up releasing it as a single in late 2023.)

this post embarrassingly reveals you know nothing about Carti or his music

 

Kendrick probably sees him as an inspiration and one of the only unique rappers out atm, and FADminem's opinions mean nothing if you're not an old head
