[@almightyinky]

If i May present an idea as to why 21 may be so monotone in a lot is supposed to show how hes became numb , after being exposed to all the violence drugs and misery that comes with a life in poverty for so that whenever he’s asked about things around that dreadful lifestyle he can only repeat this soulless vague lines cuz even if he wanted to respond in any other way he’s probably lost count of all these things that has happened in his (and many other ppl who suffer in this lifestyle’s) lifes.

Review Better Dayz by Reason

[@gentlegamer980]

I dont know if that was intential, but I think the "tired of it all" delivery of the chorus works perfectly in the context of the lyrics. He been through all of that "a lot" of times so he is tired of it, not caring anymore if the people doubted him, if he lied, if he shot someone etc. But I could be totally wrong, just wanted to throw that out there

[@indistraction5414]

i agree. the tired, monotone flow is borderline anhedonic when you note the utter lack of appropriate affect in referencing the good things that have happened in his life versus when he brings up the shitty things. he just can't muster the proper emotions to differentiate those experience.

[@Dave-ho9bf]

Hi, I'm a middle class white dude who really likes 21 Savage. I'm a middle class white dude from Brazil who is from a somewhat racist family who is trying to change that. Personally, I like 21 Savage not because I want to feel hard, but because I really respect the guy as a person, so because of that, his music grew on me. I know this might sound really petty and look like I'm doing some Tom McDonald or whatever the hell that dude's name, but I'm just telling my reasoning to like his music, specially "a lot". I like watching your videos because I speak conversational English, so you help me a lot (pun not intended) to understand some lyrics that I wouldn't have otherwise.

[@CallmeLQ]

The more I watch the music video the more I enjoy the song, also the lazy monotone flow from 21 actually sounds good here. He downplays the hardships he's gone through as he reflects... It makes him seem lime all the issues don't phase him as long as he's still here. Cole definitely is superior lyrically, but the last verse from 21 Savage was well written.

[@drfreshey]

Somebody who is regularly exposed to traumatic situations for extended periods of time eventually becomes desensitized to that situation because it basically causes their basic survival instincts overtake any sort of complex emotionality. The dead-pan delivery of the chorus is actually really effective because it shows that 21 has been involved in so many horrible situations in his life that he can no longer respond to them with anything beyond basic acknowledgment, nor can he enjoy the rewards he has gained from those events. He is emotionally broken.

[@GraceWhip]

I love the emotionless delivery of this song. It's what made me relate to it so much, since my main symptom of my crippling depression are being numb and exhausted. I think it fits the theme that everything is so much of a lot that there isn't any leftover capacity to even be angry or upset. It's just too much.

[@downwardspiral8501]

The song reminds me of a collection of letters from a WWI soldier to his wife (the name of the collection is escaping me). The soldier talks about twenty people being slaughtered in the same way that he might talk about getting a new pair of socks for the trench. The true nature of it isn’t meant to be an upfront bloody representation of war, but rather the mundanity and apathetic nature that it installs in you. By seeing this violence on a constant bases, Savage is just at the point in his life where nothing shocks him to revulsion anymore. That’s why I find this song infinitely terrifying on a psychological aspect.

[@IMatchoNation]

[@mielvanvelzen5967]

I think the fact that the 'a lot' hook sounds so dull is kinda the point of it. He's gone through so much shit that he's numb to all of it. He doesnt even know how many times he cheated and how many people died etc. And he frankly doesnt care. He's numb to all of it. This is the sort of attitude i see in his delivery in all his songs.

[@louisianabobcat1190]

I am a J Cole senior citizen fanatic and love all of his music all the way back to 2009. I don't agree with your comments about his flows, but do agree about why people like 21 savage. I would not have listened to "A lot" if Cole had not been on it, but the song needed J Cole and J Cole needed the song. You are a good critic and you are smart and I like that. I didn't agree with everything you said, but I enjoyed it. You made me LOL several times and you got the essence of the video and for that I subscribed. I don't like rap in general, but every time you review J Cole or one of his Dreamville signees, I will watch. Great Job!!!!

The monotone voice really works in the chorus, it gives off the feeling he's so jaded by all the bad shit, that he can't even appreciate the blessings now that they've come around. Him using the same tone in all songs makes it hard to appreciate, but in this case, it was cool.

[@JustSomeGuy496]

I was really disappointed with this review. I feel like Rap Critic kinda brought his preconceptions about 21 Savage into this song instead of listening to it as it is. I'm no fan of 21 in general, but his deadpan delivery totally fit the tired, exhausted tone of the song. It's the right stylistic choice, and whether it was a conscious decision or just a product of 21's very limited range, it works. Basically, Rap Critic said "oh, it's a 21 Savage song, so I don't have to give it a fair shake." and that's kinda really uncool. I actually agree that this is a 4/5 song, though. It's pretty good, but Rap Critic has a point that sometimes 21's lines aren't totally on topic.

[@briancollins1296]

Aaaaaand this song just won a Grammy. Rightfully so. I get that Savage's flow is chronically monotone, but I feel like Rap Critic deliberately missed the purpose of said flow within the context of this song. Given what Savage talks about and what's been happening to him (along with, you know, how shitty the government is), it makes perfect sense for him to sound dead inside.

[@Hashups]

you criticise 21 for having a repetitive chorus, even though plenty of other rappers (like j.cole, kendrick etc.) do the same thing, I feel like you're only bringing this up because you don't like 21 savage that much, but would be happy to ignore it on anyone else's. I'm not saying repetitive chorus's are a good thing but they can work and I think they do here. In the modern day of lyrical rap the chorus does not need to be as complex as the verse and can just show 1 clear message. Also 21 savage is pretty young and has a long way to go (time and skill wise) so I think you need to just give him some time and making overall judgements about him now would be unfair, as he does have some good qualities and may follow them all the way to being a great rapper, but only time will tell.

[@casono]

Unless hes 12 savage the age arguement is dumb. Nas recorded his first album in 1992-3. It was released in 94. He was around 19 or so during the recording. 21 savage is 26 now.

[@PrincessNinja007]

I think the monotone goes better with the negativity in the hook. That delivery that says you've been through so much shit that it doesn't even bother you. Like, getting shot, or being betrayed are these huge things, but if your life sucks that these happen "a lot", it just becomes "welp, some asshat shot me and I got blood on my good sboes. Mondays amirite?"

[@EpicWin1337]

21 is probably the most odd horror style of rap. His delivery sounds like the artist is dead inside and his monotone delivery doesn't differentiate between the good or bad in his life conflating they all feel the same. His music sounds like depression mixed disassociation and that is kinda harrowing.

"I am so smart I am so smart S-N-A-K I mean S-N-A-K-E" Let's see 21 Savage try and sample that Simpsons quote. I'm not joking, either.

Thotiana review coming next? I don’t like the song or really any of Blueface’s music, but it’d be super interesting to see your take on the whole “off beat” thing... even just in a “worst lyrics” episode or something like that.

My cousins’ friend came here with his parents and didn’t apply for citizenship when he turned 18. He got arrested for some stupid crime and got deported to his home country. That was back in the 2009. Im not surprised they picked up 21 savage, I’m surprised they haven’t deported him yet.

Its mad to think 21 Savage is English. Man should be talking about wetting ops and doing songs with Headie One.
