This is the first Fantano review I've watched in probably a year, and he actually has some valid points I agree with -- but the way he talks about it (using the term 'mumble rap' seriously) just shows how far removed from the genre he really is.

You're missing the point and not responding to what I'm actually saying. Are you really gonna sit there and act like electronic music isn't all just s-----y robot noises?

Are Future and thug harder to understand than someone like Joey Badass? Yes. But Future and thug aren't hard to understand at all 95% of the time once you've started actually delving into their discography. Characterizing them as "mumble rap" shows that you've barely skimmed the surface and an extreme lack of familiarity and understanding of mid-late 2010s rap.

Are you serious? It's not irrelevant and it's not accurate because it boils down a bunch of diverse artist into one negative attribute that isn't even true for all of these artists. It would be like if I called all electronic music "bleep bloop robot music". It's a negative and inaccurate generalization would show a lack of understanding of the genre.

Are there a bunch of Atlanta rappers that sound the same and ride off of what's popular? Yes, but there are cheap imitators in every genre.

"Mumble rap" is an inherently negative term though and it pools together artists as diverse 21 Savage, Young Thug, and Kodak Black. Doesn't make sense and is mostly used by people who haven't listened to enough modern souther rap to judge.
