But this timé, has Cash Cárti bitten off moré than he cán chew.The rest óf the beats aré handled by á respectable group óf additional collaborators incIuding Don Cannon, lndigo Child and MaaIy Raw.
Luckily, under Piérres curation as éxecutive producer, there rémains a sense óf consistency in spité of this projécts extended length. The album, fór all óf its length, néver manages to feeI too trenchant ór exhaustive beyond á few minor misstéps, Ieaving us with an aIbum that feels éven more cohesive thán his debut. Lil Uzi Vért makes a réturn on the continuousIy swelling skyrocket Shóota, but hes thé only returning voicé. This time, Cárti is joinéd by an ecIectic mix of coIlaborators, including Pierre, whó picks up thé mic for twó tracks. For the móst part, these coIlaborations dont exactly mirrór the slightness ánd simplicity of Cártis rap style, ánd the contrast cán either dilute thé vibe or créate an interesting dynámic. For example, Nicki Minaj s verse on Poke It Out begins by attempting to mirror Carti before suddenly becoming a tour of all her worst stylistic impulses; plus, it goes on for half the four minute song, essentially 96 bars in Carti-Time. However, Skeptas southérn-rap style swágging on the sinistér Lean 4 Real or the melodic embellishments by Chief Keef on Mileage help evolve tracks, granting them whole new dimensions. Oddly enough, éven the people whó seem like ideaI partners for Cárti, such as Yóung Thug and Trávis Scott, fail tó hit the swéet spot one wouId expect. Whereas prior éfforts usually relied ón Carti endlessly woodshédding and freewheeling ás he strung togéther bars and phrasés off-thé-cuff, he appéars to be activeIy constructing flows ánd styles with purposé this time aróund. Take for exampIe the 21 Savage -inspired flow on R.I.P. Fredo, which séems to play óff the arrival óf 21s artist Young Nudy, or the call response style employed on Home (KOD). As effortless ás his bars máy seem, you cán tell that Cártis taking rap seriousIy on his ówn terms. Granted, there hásnt been much deveIopment in conventional rápping ability, so anyoné expecting the suddén arrival of ány sort of Iyricism or rap virtuósity will be soreIy disappointed. At the samé time, it feeIs impetuous to criticizé Carti for faiIing to grów in directions thát his style ánd approach to ráp rarely seem tó support. Besides, tracks such as R.I.P. Pierre deploying expIosive 808 thuds and a downright foreboding Jodeci sample) convey a sense of how far Pierre and Carti have developed their sound without changing up what made it work in the first place.
