Wicked Posted September 30 Posted September 30 (edited) #2 When critics get it right >>>> If you asked a young, online person 15 years ago what "based" meant, they'd probably mention the rapper Lil B's obscure positivity gospel. Ask the same question to a young, online person today and you'll get another cryptic answer, only this time with vaguely edgelord-y implications. At the center of this weird Venn diagram is RXK Nephew's "American tterroristt," a nine-minute jeremiad for the post-truth era from a guy who's probed life's mysteries deeper than you have. The Rochester rapper, who between 2019 and 2022 released at least one song each day, became a conspiracy scholar during one particular prison stint, pondering UFOs, weather control, and Biblical lies with his bunkie all day. Years later, half blacked out off Hennessy on his couch, he recorded his magnum opus, looping the beat three times to riff with enviable abandon on Adam and Eve, Santa Claus, Christopher Columbus, SpongeBob SquarePants. If it's true that insanity is the only sane response to an insane society, surely Neph is the most cogent rapper of the present epoch, or at least the most emblematic—so much so that the schizzed-out, red-pilled aura of "American tterroristt" tends to eclipse how effortless it all sounds, how much it makes you think. Beyond the thrill of provocation wages a battle of man versus fate. ("What I did to deserve to go through this? Let me get this right—this because of Eve?" he wonders of his own misfortunes.) Since Neph posted the song to YouTube in December 2020, the world has grown bizarre to the point where garden variety conspiracy theorists often seem to lack imagination. "American tterroristt" still sparks wonder at our strange world full of strange people. –Meaghan Garvey :clap3: Edited September 30 by Wicked
