Here I go againย trying to keep an open mind and give these new wave of โrappersโ that arenโt really rappers ย fair shake. Next up is another โLilโ, a rapper (I say that loosely) from somewhere down South named Lil Yachty. These names are absolutely horrible by the way, but I digress. Heโs been getting a lot of buzz over the past year which even culminated into making the XXL Freshman list. Trying to continue to ride that wave, he recently dropped the 14 track mixtapeย Summer Songs 2.
โIโma do what I got to do
To stay the king of the youth
Tie all my shoes so Iโll never ever fall
Middle finger โem all, walk the carpet holdinโ my ballsโ
Iโm just gonna come right out and say that the lyrics onย Summer Songs 2 are absolutely garbage. Right from the intro he hits you with lines like โTie all my shoes so Iโll never ever fallโ. Kendrick he is not. So if what youโre looking for is lyrics and substance then you can just stop reading this reaction now because you wonโt find any of that onย Summer Songs 2.ย At one point he even tries to prove to Ebro over at Hot 97 that he can actually rap on the aptly named โFor Hot 97โ, but that too misses the mark by a wide margin. But somehow it still ends up being one of the best songs on the mixtape thanks to some catchy ass production.
โYou might be down at the moment
But stay there and youโll be up soon
I know youโre tired of the bus
Stack up and pull off like vroom
Stay consistent and watch all your money moves
And watch how your old friends hate on youโ
And thatโs the thing with Lil Yachty; I know in my mind I shouldnโt like him or his music at all but he still manages to draw me in on a couple songs. I get why these guys are getting so much traction, especially with the younger generations. They know how to make catchy ass songs that are backed by good production thatโll get played in most nightclubs. Lyrically heโs ass but he knows how to capture a vibe on a song thatโll have most people bopping along whether they want to or not. โSo Many Peopleโ pretty much sums up the whole Lil Yachty experience.
