First of all, contrary to what
mumble rappers and hardcore fans of mumble rappers would like you to believe,
mumble rap is real. And in most cases, it's simply
not okay. You know you are listening to
Mumble rap if you run into the following:
1. You cannot understand what the fuck they are saying.
2. You can to some degree but are still concerned about their intelligence and/or speech capabilities.
3. You cannot understand what the fuck they are saying.
4. It's impossible to sing along short of humming or speaking complete gibberish yourself.
5. You cannot understand what the fuck they are saying.
When the
5 main tell-tell signs above are stressed, they are not referring to a couple of words you may have had trouble hearing correctly and mistake for something else. You cannot, and I mean CANNOT understand the entirety of the song WITHOUT looking up the lyrics. You always have to look up the lyrics of any song, but with most NORMAL songs, you have guesses of what is actually said in full. With
Mumble Rap, you have ABSOLUTELY, NO FUCKING IDEA, AT ALL, of what is actually said. Even if you have special
linguist powers and do guess some of the words, you'll most likely be surprised to find out there are 4 or 5 words in
the hook that you did not even pick up on, let alone make sense out of. And you'll likely find even more during
verses. In fact, the chances of you having a clue of what is said at all during a verse are very very very low. That's how bad Mumble Rap is.
Examples of
Mumble Rappers include: Young Thug(Worst case of this motherfucker is the song "Lifestyle"),
Desiigner(Goddammit, he is the epitome example of everything written above), Future(To a lesser, but still concerning degree than the two aforementioned)
Other rappers who are not as bad as the three above(Usually, that is) but still have their fair share of problems include:
Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert, and Quavo from Migos(And many many more)
