Yeat's lyricism in 2093
I'm gonna ask this prolly one more times.
What is up with these brain dead attention-deficit people saying that 2093 it's Yeat's weakest lyricism and completely dismissed its substance and meaning when in reality its not and they just arent paying attention or dive deep enough? Saying it lacks a metaphor, WHILE IN REALITY it's literally a whole concept album filled WITH RIDICULOUS amount of metaphor he's ever written so far.
It's just that 2093 isn't written in a bar-spitting style of writing but for God sake it's not called CONCEPT album for nothing. It's written in a more of a conflict-written / monologue-dialogue metaphorical, even poetic style of writing more than HIS USUAL style of lyricism. Even if it's not as good as a legitimate poetic/metaphor-induced rapper right now like Nas or Kendrick, but at least Yeat progressing in his writing style and expanding his reach. It's literally him being introspective and actually showing his true self as him rather than Yeat.
Are we really go down that far that now we can't truly separate between each different style of rap writing / lyricism?
It’s genuinely sad that 2093 got the hate it did, bro genuinely did something different, sure it had its flaws but it was something fresh, I loved it. What’s dumb is how fast Yeat “fans” switched up, one album you don’t like is all it takes for you to ditch Yeat? Crazy
You aren't listening to this album right fr or you just prolly skimmed it. 2093 is Yeat's best project by far, straight otherworldly shit. Production is immaculate, I could be pompous and try to describe it with big words but you just gotta actually sit down, listen, let it settle first, analyze like Bob, and you get it. He confronts his drug-addicted self through an alter-ego in a dystopian future, how is that not fantastic?? The struggle that is portrayed through his different personas and his issues with schizophrenia (prolly a metaphor for his many persona or ego), greed, selfishness, drug abuse, addictoon, obsession, megalomaniac, sobriety, and the world is damn near poetic.
The production is so hard-hitting and I love the multiple phases of the songs. Every synth sounds so epic and the bass and drums inject every beat with so much electricity and movement. It sounds like a movie thats about a dystopian super villain and Yeat perfectly fits the role with his deep and assertive vocals that convey so much emotion. We get into the inner working of Noah's world that he has created and the struggle with addiction, nihilism, and maniac that he expresses throughout the album. A dark, grim, gritty, addicted, distorted, twisted, bleak, hedonistic, obsessive, corrupt, directoonless, bleak, and nihilistic world of 2093 which quite LITERALLY is a metaphor that represent the state of his inner spirit—It's HIS world.
2093 was the album that proved to serious music listeners that he was a legitimately talented, forward-thinking, progressive, and creative artist in Yeat's respective lane.
2093 HAS AN ACTUAL LORE TO IT
It's like there's different comprehension and enjoyment levels to it, a lighter and more superficial one where you just vibe with the crazy instrumental and the apparently random pretty hard bars he drops, immersing yourself in the overall world and atmosphere he's built, also this one that reveals an entirely different dimension like a story or lore to tell to the overall project.
This is his most personal, introspective, artistic, and creative album that he put a lot of effort into. He includes themes of isolation, nihilistic hedonism, negativism, self-loathe, betrayal, the struggle of drug addiction, traits of his personality (narcissism, selfishness, possibily swing too, etc.), cutting off toxic people, and more. The main theme of this album is Yeat trying to find his place in this world. (or making his own) He is extremely blunt in his expression of isolation from what he views as normal people. He explains this by saying that he is living in 2093 and wants a house on the moon. Yeat also portrays himself as a god persona throughout this album. He constantly refers to himself bluntly as god and disses anyone trying to understand him because humans cannot comprehend the concept of a true god which symbolized his isolation, megalomaniac, and obsession. This aspect is awesome. Seeing someone embrace their selfishness (even having bars about how it helped his career) instead of demeaning it and trying to "fix" it is unique while at the same time trying to reach some form of enlightment (1093 feel likes you're literally being freed / released from oppresion, prolly represnting him being "cleansed") and works very well with the themes of the album.
You could dislike the album because it's not your preferred personal taste since each individual focus and taste in art, especially music is subjective. But I also want to highlight that there's also some objective truth to music as well. For example: are you going to disagree with me when I said that TPAB has a great lyricism? Are you gonna disagree with me when I said 808 n heartbreak, yeezus, and WLR have a big impact on hip-hop? You see what I'm saying? There's always some subjectivity and objectivity to music. For record, I was hooked to yeats music in his lyfe era, you can call me new gen or whatever, I been keeping my eye on this dude since I feel like Yeat got a lot of potential artistically. So,
You can't just dismiss and say some shit that just isn't true. Just said you don't like the type of music style or the sound of 2093, then that's entirely respectable and understandable. Just don't dismiss 2093 as if it's not lyrically dense even if it's not as perfect as other professional lyricists in hip-hop
So let me ask you one more times.
Are we listening to the same album?
