Alright, so thousands of fans stayed up last night, screens glowing, refreshing obsessively, waiting for Playboi Carti’s new album, "MUSIC," to drop, and in typical Carti fashion, midnight passed with no album in sight. People freaked out on Twitter, cracking jokes, dropping memes, speculating wildly, until it finally appeared around 7:30 in the morning, leaving everyone both exhausted and hyped. It’s classic Carti chaos—30 tracks of digital distortion and unexpected features, including Kendrick Lamar stealing the show on tracks like “Good Credit” and “Mojo Jojo,” Travis Scott splitting opinions on "Crush," and "Rather Lie" with The Weeknd instantly blowing up TikTok feeds. Fans have strong opinions, debating whether Carti’s move towards superstar guests signals a step away from his underground Opium artists like Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely. Tracks like "Pop Out" and "Evil J0rdan" are sparking major discussions, while his reunion with Lil Uzi Vert on "Jumpin" has reignited calls for that mythical "16*29" album. Love it or hate it, "MUSIC" has everyone talking, arguing, and meme-ing, exactly like Carti planned. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
