Playboi Carti even connected with some famous fans to celebrate the launch of "MUSIC," namely Kai Cenat, ImDontai, and Young Dabo.

Even if Playboi Carti didn't enlist an A-list team of rappers and producers for his new album MUSIC, fans would probably have still gone wild if it was just him and F1LTHY for four hours. But we don't live in that reality, and instead, fans are reacting in all sorts of directions to this new project and its many, many aspects. We have 30 tracks, over a dozen individual guest slots, and plenty of highlights and lowlights to name. We'll let the fans handle that further down below, though. As you will see, there are a lot of satisfied die-hards and frustrated listeners alike.

At the end of the day, this is pretty much the marker of a successful rollout these days. After all, if you're not angering a group of people with an artistic move, you might not be trying hard enough to resonate with another audience. Nevertheless, one of the other big aspects that people are talking about concerning this record are Playboi Carti's features on his new album MUSIC, which are pretty impressive. Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, Jhené Aiko, Future, The Weeknd, Ty Dolla $ign, and more contribute to vocal performances and production.

Playboi Carti & Kendrick Lamar

Elsewhere, King Vamp also connected with fans to celebrate MUSIC, namely some his most famous ones. He hopped on a call with Kai Cenat, who was also on Discord with fellow streamers and content creators Young Dabo and ImDontai. During their conversation, Playboi Carti addressed his Adin Ross stream fiasco. "Yeah, I got to [go on another stream]," he responded to Kai's question about another potential stream with a creator. "Cause, like, that Adin Ross s**t, you know what I mean? I ain't like that Adin Ross s**t, bro. It wasn't even supposed to be like that, no cap. [...] I wish that s**t wasn't like that. [...] Honestly, he's just not my type of n***a."

Fan Reactions

Even Kanye West has something to say about Playboi Carti's new album, as he expressed disappointment in Kendrick Lamar's MUSIC appearances. How will this record age for fans as we spend more time with it? We'll see how the discourse grows...
