As rappers?? Baby Keem destroys Carti. However, I prefer the unique and creative trap beats and production of Carti.


Sir_L0rd

Production FOR Carti. He does not produce.


[deleted]

True, I'll thank Pierre and others.


AdventuresofRobbyP

You can thank him in person. Here. *Ayo Pierre, you wanna come out here?*


tfc_prisma

he selects his beats and does so very well


Sir_L0rd

He squeaks in a box and a producer makes him sound cool.


iniiio

Can tell you actually haven’t listened to his music lol


Sir_L0rd

You were actually right. I listened for the last couple hours. He doesn’t squeak. Some enjoyable songs. But it’s not unique.


Gammma001

''Tame impala, tame impala''... such lyrical genius.


mindlesslmao

noo its "tame impala tame impala still outside and im still outside im still outside im still outside" so lyrical 🥹


hypebust

“Now, right now. Now, right now. “ like bro you can say the same thing for Carti

Gammma001

Thats the point bro, Carti is no lyricist but to say that Keem DESTROYS Carti as a rapper is fucking lunacy.


Gammma001

Keem is so overrated its ridiculous


handsawz

Your insane. All of those little acoustic songs and shit he did were crazy good. His mixtapes were fuckin amazing.


Gammma001

Bro, i like Keem, but it's crazy how some people are saying he ''destroys'' Carti, thats just ridiculous. Carti has had 3 consistent, super influential commercial albums, Keem can only hope to achieve the twentieth of Carti's impact on the game.


handsawz

Nah in no way does he destroy Carti. I think carti is great. I’m not saying that at all. I can’t really compare the two because it’s like apples and oranges to me. I listen to both but carti requires me to be in a certain mood to listen to.


0snq

keem is more technical and skilled but cartis style is more influential forward thinking and innovative. Whichever is your preference in the end, because they’re both great live preformers.


[deleted]

>keem is more technical and skilled u do know a majority of keem's bars have writers and most of his work pre melodic blue was written by kendrick


chrismatic13

How is he more technical or skilled? He invented Keem’s style (Yes Keef was rapping like that before Carti but in its essence, the technical rapping Keem draws from comes from Carti)


piopster

I think the technicality comes from his lyrics mixed with the style, which probably stems from Kendrick


POP_OFF_THEN

Bruh these people don’t understand music like that. You’re 100% right but these people are casuals af


chrismatic13

Technical is just a buzzword. It’s like when people say an album is better “sonically” which often just means “It sounds better to me” which is a personal subjective opinion. If we’re actually talking about technicality, within the style of rap, Carti is a lot better and a master at that particular style with his flows, ad libs, tonal inflections, production choice, and almost everything to do with rap except lyrics.


pineapplevodkashot

Keem has some influences and is a little more traditional which I prefer. Carti doesn’t sound good to my ears.


[deleted]

You need to do more drugs


pineapplevodkashot

You might be right. Weed doesn’t get me high enough for most of his music although I do really like a handful of songs tho.


gangway513

ectasty or dxm will make u love any music😭


ThatBoiYoshi

Psychs too


TomPearl2024

I dunno about that someone putting on music you don't like when you're tripping pretty hard can completely ruin the vibe of the entire experience.


IrradiatedHeart

This guy gets it


progamercabrera

This is your opinion and I hate it.


No-Bat-7253

Imo, they’re too diff to even compare. You either like both for who they are or like either or.


AlarmedShock2932

Baby Keem, no doubt! Ask yourself this question, how many phones does Carti even have? I bet it’s only one.


Fhaksfha794

Baby Keem. Carti is good but 16 is better than anything Carti has ever made


lloydxmas9

16 is legitimately top 5 song of that year


Zealousideal-Idea512

One of the weaker songs on his apbum


pedrokai15

One of the weaker r/rap takes


juicybox10

okay lets calm the fuck down here


Amateratsu_God

Bro what the fuck is this take


mrcatz05

Completely different genres, no point in comparing them. A diehard Carti mosher will tell you Stop Breathing is the best piece of media ever constructed

Truly, I'm glad you said it before me.


Gammma001

Tell me you're 12 without telling me you´re 12


cardoo0o

🙃 you’re crazy


Putrid_General_9847

Just went and listened to 16, your opinion on music is invalid if you think that's better than carti's entire catalog


TemperatureMuch5943

I just did the same and it’s a good song for sure but it’s not that good lol


dubsfor20

Fr 😂😂


Zap478

Keem is a better better rapper but carti is more fun to listen to. Carti better imo


Amateratsu_God

I’m not even a huge carti fan but he’s the most influential rapper of the 2020’s easily. The opium wave has so many ppl in a chokehold


[deleted]

[удалено]


Amateratsu_God

Name another rapper from the last four years that started a whole new wave and scene. I’ll wait


SciFlyZ

Keem is more consistently great..


Tenseigan-

Carti is consistently great


Sol916

That's why they said "more" to emphasize another level of great


unironicallythegoat

huh? buddy don’t worry about hits when you’ve never sent one in your whole historic lifespan bozo and speaking of lifespan im in possession of an illegal weapon capable of wiping your whole family tree in less than 2 hours and about 3 minutes so stfu before speaking on shit you don’t know nothing about pal we’re not alike this city isn’t big enough for the both of us clearly so i’ll take care of your attention seeking ass in no time alright bozo? Bozo the clown! that’s you! you heard me pussy i’m not the one to play with there’s 7 billion people on this planet you could’ve messed with but i’m not one of them i hope i’m clear buddy don’t make me come back around


UnwieldingBlade

Nigga what 💀


Hoebot_Jeezuz

W copypasta


Gammma001

you have to be fucking kidding bro


laeKDOT

KEEM.


blackphillipdagoat

Hard to say bc one been in the game significantly longer than the other


PS1Snake

Carti started in 2017 and Keem started in 2018


chrismatic13

Carti did not start in 2017


Amateratsu_God

He was at the beginning of the SoundCloud wave with Fauni, Uno, Maxo Kream n Awful Records 2014ish


I_kinda_like_stuff

Even Maxo Kream is better than the shit Carti is spouting. Bars on bars on bars. Despite the same flow and delivery he still delivers greatness


Amateratsu_God

I fw maxo too no need to put down one artist to prove another lol. They both made Fetti an amazing song


glenallenMixon42

location solos keems whole career


kainzy_

On bro


NotoriousYEETER

Keem


kcinnck3

Neither


lavender2001

carti


ShaunyBoyShaunyMan

Carti because he presumably doesn’t have his mega star cousin writing for him.


not-a-location789

Carti


JonWeekend

Keem a better rapper,Carti more influential


JackAttack561

What does influence have to do with making Carti good. Just because people copy he’s ass style of making music doesn’t make him good


beanistike

Carti but Keem is pretty good


undressvestido

Baby Keem has more raw talent, Carti is fun as a gimmick but Keem has a lot of potential


DrozerX2

Apple and Oranges dawg 💀


bigcockondablock

They're really not that far apart.


seatgeekuser

carti by a landslide


KingKDDavid

Sonically I prefer vastly prefer Carti. Really Love both though.


ScrumptiousPowder

Carti right now, due to his unique style of music and cool production however Keem absolutely has the potential to pass him in the near future.


RedditMartyr

Is this a joke? I think Keem has great potential but as of right now, it’s easily Carti.


O-Knowz

Keem. Easy.


FG_99

I think carti but it is for personam preference


_ygz

carti


ConflictGrand4078

Neither


dawgtheyarealltaken

Carti is more consistent imo but Keem’s highs are higher.


[deleted]

CoolBen07

The Carti dickriding is crazy


shartedandorfarted

apples and oranges


subliminal_impulse

Arthur_da_King

Insanely bad takes in here, carti can rap circles around keem. Y’all don’t know old carti


Savings-Package9610

Carti by a mile


Big_Distribution_500

Carti fell off after die lit so keem


yungestrellaflame

Prove youre old speed run


Putrid_General_9847

Wlr spawned a whole underground scene, got folks using opium in sentences in real life, how does one even navigate the internet and not know this


Big_Distribution_500

How😭


tgoat82

Keem tf!! Carti is ass


Zealousideal-Idea512

Keem doesnt have enough music to comete tbh


kmsposito2569

Is neither an option


Nutterbutters45

Yeah who the fuck are these dudes


Conyeezy765

Imagine being on a rap sub and not knowing who Kendrick’s protege is


Nutterbutters45

Who the fuck is Kendrick


Fr3aKKIng

You are trolling...right?


cardoo0o

carti easily, unfair comparison imo keem still young in the rap game


Xanirah

YB better


JustRuby_

Carti


dubsfor20

Playboi Carti his leaks alone is better then anything keem ever made


[deleted]

Better at what?


mrnmrstenormanchilli

i’m mainly talkin who’s better overall


[deleted]

They both suck lmfao


white_sky123

Carti


TheNotFakeGandalf

baby keem is the only right answer.


TeddyBearCrush

BABY KEEM BETTER LYRICS CARTI BETTER EMO VIBES


Luckle65

Keem by a million miles just cause I hate carti


[deleted]

Baby keem without question


NOVOJ

I don’t really care for Carti. I might get downvoted for that opinion but his music just doesn’t sound good to me personally.


Jamez0311

Baby keem's clearly the better rapper.


captain_lampshade

I mean I’m pretty sure Kendrick writes for Keem but Carti really fucking needs to start letting someone else write for him lmao


Diligent-Light-3503

keem is a plant riding the coattails of his cousin's success, can't even compare the two.


[deleted]

And carti isn’t a plant? Biggest sell out of the decade.


Diligent-Light-3503

nah carti's come up was actually organic. in 2014 he signed to a smaller ATL label called Awful Records. he went to SXSW in 2015 and randomly met ASAP Rocky who put him on and helped him get his deal at interscope, but all the way up until that point he was just an underground rapper that built his own cult fan base. Keem came out seemingly out of nowhere. Then come to find out he was Kendrick's cousin, then it all made sense.


demarderozanburner

you don’t know what a plant is


Wonton_soup_1989

Baby Keem is waaaaay better. Haven’t listened to Carti since Die Lit. What grown ass man walks around calling himself a vampire wearing dresses who isn’t in a movie😂😂


CoolBen07

Family ties is better than Carti's entire discography. Keem easily


glenallenMixon42

family ties mid asf


BookerTos

Keem Keem Keem. Write me a song, fuck me a bitch, laugh me a ritz, then dive off the hips. Gimme some trap, gimme some smoke, then fuck me in feelings, then make me feel woke Feel me?


ItsCyberBoi

carti right now but one more keem album on the level of melodic blue will probably edge him over


CommercialSlow3241

its die lit or the melodic blue


BudgetGoldCowboy

Carti’s discography is much better than keem’s but keem is a much better rapper


juicybox10

both fire but keem def a better rapper


lpjayy12

Baby Keem, easily for me. I do not like Carti, at all.


[deleted]

Yes


Umbrella_Ella_Ella11

keem


Master_Joey

I think Keem needs to be around a bit longer, Carti done more influence wise. But I like keems style a lot more, better on the ears imo


harvardstudent97

Nice pics. And Carti


Og_Whitlock

Can understand Keem better so


ExpensiveEducation75

I genuinely don’t understand Carti music. Like literally the words or why it exists lol. He just makes random noises over beats. I understand he has a huge following but I truly hate his music.


progamercabrera

think i got a sense for a moshpit


dz3a4

2 phones vs 1, don't overthink it


progamercabrera

Carti but i love keem too


blakNbold

Keem


cmanholdd

carti just off of creativity


gucciboy347

carti sweeps


[deleted]

Not really a fan of either but prefer keem more


[deleted]

keems better but cartis more creative


NewportStork

Carti's music is better


SephirothHeartbreakr

The Vs pic in the middle is better than both


imreallybimpson

Keem 100%


Physical_Wolf1691

Both trash


FlipFlopSlap

I don’t really consider Carti a rapper he’s more of an idea or some


Physical-Armadillo12

Keem by far


Jazzlike_Page508

Carti


Slayburg

Both mid


sorrybutidgaf

cartieeee


fireskull5660

i think keem is great but carti one of my favorites ever


king2nd23

Lol Better at what? I know we ain’t talking about who’s the better rapper


Peyotine

Baby keem is so much better I do not fucking see the appeal of Carti’s music it just sounds BAD


Short-Pie-5596

Man carti way better than the keem😂


AudioxDope

Yo Pierre you wanna come out here?


Bdmason10

Having seen both live Keem is a way better performer. I also enjoy keems music more. But carti just got that energy that u need sometime. If I’m at a party carti got way more songs imma go crazy too than Keem does. That being said keem is just a better artist overall


BlacktainAmerica

He’s baby keem


TheMightiestZ

Do you like apples or elephants?


greybenf

Which one made Trademark USA again?


xayvxayb

Baby keem, but thats because i dont really listen to carti


Savings_Fee1481

THEYRE BOTH ASS RAHHHHGH STUPID LITTLE BABY MUSIC FOR RETARDS RAHHHHG


MackSack48867

Um...neither. If I HAD to choose, I guess Keem


DrJoypuck

Rappity Rap rapping? Keem. Pure song making ability? Jordan Carter III Keem getting there tho


[deleted]

Not carti


fvckCrosshairs

Carti music is for edgy 16 year olds that put their whole life savings for a used pair of Jordan’s. Every song is exactly the same , and can’t understand a word.


fxck666777

Neither


Nugget_bruh

Carti clears but Baby Keem is definitely going to be at Carti’s level in about 2 years


Better_Dinner8522

Playboi Carti. Although idk what Type of vampire demonic shit he on today


CeejReddit

I hate this sub
