Critic Reviews

Pitchfork
The young Atlanta rapper’s debut mixtape finds a cloudy and economical mood and stays there, but it’s Carti’s magnetic confidence that turns just enough into plenty.

Soundcloud Rap background player turned most anticipated, the A$AP-cosigned 'mumble rapper' finally strikes out on his own with his debut mixtape.

Playboi Carti's Self-Titled Debut Is Simply A Glorified Beat Tape With Ad-Libs

DJ Booth
It's light and breezy, like the sun on a summer day, and just like the sun on a summer day, it slots easily in the background as you focus on other things.

Sharpes Reviews
Overall, this is a disappointing release that is absurdly average. Playboi Carti should look at his formula and modify it to push himself to do more and do better.

I’d have to say it is a wild mix between 80’s techno, 808’s, and old Super Nintendo video game effects supported heavily with some catchy ad-libs.

It is unfortunate that Carti clearly has other priorities than making entertaining bangers that could give him the longevity he needs to survive in the trap-sphere.

Daily Nexus
If Frank Ocean can indulge in Carti’s sound guilt-free, anyone can be driven to the pleasure-filled land of production excellency, designer brands and jewelry pieces found on Carti’s tape.

Verrastro Album Reviews
It is nice to escape the seriousness of an album and just listen to some fun jams in the summer. This tape isn’t anything top-notch, but I am definitely looking forward to see what Carti is going to do next.

Opinionated Opinion
While I’ve never been a big fan or gone out of my way before Friday to listen to Carti, his debut project was definitely one of the Hip-Hop projects to keep an ear out for this year.

The track “New Choppa (feat. A$AP ROCKY)” is probably the best song on this project, mainly because of ROCKY, who shows his usual attitude, but anything is better than Playboi Carti on this album basically.

XXL Magazine
Nevertheless, the rapper delivers a debut opus indicative of his brand, where good vibes, an escape from reality and flexing can be found.
