Is Playboi Carti x The Weeknd a good thing? “Timeless” analysis

[@vineethpuli5079]

AVAA but professor you are so wrong about Popular. That is a unanimous summer BOP, it definitely did not just come and go, it has almost a billion plays on Spotify 😂 Playboi Cartis little refrain on that is so catchy, that’s all he needed to do. The beat is also infectious. You should bump it more

[@Simon70517]

He's right stop it lol the only people I knew who regularly bumped it were total Carti fanatics

[@linkoln_sosias]

yeah Popular went hard

[@otterdonnelly9959]

@@Simon70517 I literally know old Madonna fans who became Carti fans because of it. The song extremely very well. One of Madonna and Carti’s biggest songs this decade.

[@unclesam6972]

Popular is pretty boring lol

[@tieshintekashi7]

IMO, this is a good song. But not because of Carti and Abel. I think that this is more Mike Dean and Pharell's track than it is theirs. The beat is so infectious that you could put basically anyone else on the verses and it would still be a banger - and therein lies the real issue with this track for me. It's a good song because of the instrumental, not the main artists. If I had to come up with a percent arbitrarily, I'd say this is 15% Carti, 15% Weeknd, and 70% Pharell and Mike Dean.

[@jonasjakobsson9006]

This is so true! I love weeknds voice as long as does not go too high.

[@tieshintekashi7]

@@jonasjakobsson9006 For me his falsetto is what actually makes him as an artist, couldn't disagree more... lol

[@tylergilley6809]

Not tryna dick ride carti but I do think he deserves a little more credit for using 3 vocal presets in a single verse that’s fairly experimental imo. Agree with the rest though the beat and production for sure carry

[@younglord00]

Ojivolta did more on this song than mike dean. Pretty sure mike dean just mixed it

[@EyobAtn]

AVAA I am so glad you liked this song Professor, A Weeknd Stan here, and a newbie to Carti's discography... And I agree Timeless is way better than Popular!

[@chucker2131]

Hi Professor! I just wanted to let you know that Jit was used in Detroit back in the day and there’s a subgenre of house/techno that is named that. I have no idea how it connects to the south, I haven’t heard the term besides the music.

[@eldraque4695]

would love to see your thoughts on the Weeknd's Sao Paulo concert (on his youtube channel) teased some great tracks from his upcoming album "Hurry up Tomorrow"

[@jakesemrow2678]

AVAA A little thing that I noticed in the lyrics is that he seems to reference all 3 of his albums throughout his verse. This first one is a really big stretch, and I'm not sure if he's packing this much into his lyricism. But maybe he references his 2017 Self Titled "era", by referencing a Lil Uzi bar from when they were apparently working together heavily. - “Pockets hold twenty-two clips (Ah) I break her heart, Comme Garçons” Uzi’s bar from his 2017 “Sauce it up” - “I was on the phone, yeah, with Playboi Carti (Woah) Comme des Garçons (What?), hearts all on my cardi' (Swag)”. Uzi also has two songs from the same album titled "20 Minutes", and "Two". Then he directly references die lit - “She singin' my songs, she wanna DIE LIT” Then he references WLR - “I'm wrestlin' all of my DEMONS, I feel like The ROCK” Genius has superficial annotations for all of this, but I decided to apply the theme of timelessness to it and this kinda checks out. Referencing all three distinct periods of his career so far, "Ever since I was a jit, knew I was the shit".

On "jit" -- "watch the whole industry imitate." Let no one tell you that anyone but Denzel Curry put that slang into common parlance.

[@otterdonnelly9959]

Relax Trixie. It was SpaceGhostPurrp/Raider Klan Robb Bank$, AND Denzel that popularized it. Purrp said it on wax since 2010. But in general it is just South Florida slang.

[@Simon70517]

it's just florida slang bruh lol

[@pekopeko0619_]

Trixie what are you yapping abt.

[@NoirNameless]

@@otterdonnelly9959Jit was being said before and after Denzel in the south, gang. Lol. I fw Denzel, but no he didn’t popularize Jit. You hardly hear anyone else saying it other than the south. There’s a reason for that.

[@gavintiesing4570]

Too be fair the popular beat is great it was unfortunately a bad song. Had potential too I like the weeknds delivery but nobody really brought the A game

[@Thermophobe]

personally carti's verse and his different voices carried it for me. about "jit", the first time i heard it in a track was in "moonwalking in calabases" like 4-5 years ago, from a Michigan rapper nonetheless. also, nav, someone not too far from the state, also used it in "double faces". now neither are the kind of tracks that might be in your radar or be artistically worthy of discourse in this channel, but it should be alright to be used. appreciate the caution taken tho. the way it was used by carti is pretty boilerplate imho, which still does not take away from the verse for me. avaa

[@otterdonnelly9959]

Jit is south Florida slang. I don’t recall anyone using it before SpaceGhostPurrp and Raider Klan in 2010.

The Weeknd was the highlight of the song. Carti just sounded like he was trying to mimic Travis Scott. Would have rather had Travis on this song.

[@Shubdoblous]

I thought apart from the hook, Abel was on the lukewarm side. His verse didn't sound well thought out from catchiness standpoint. Carti on the other end sounded better to me. Travis scott point is a bit valid though. His flow also sounded a bit like Sold Out Dates by Gunna.
