Of course, Lil Yachty is a fan of the provocative white rapper ian: Yachty is 100 percent the guy who just says shit to make people crazy. (Remember the whole “I've never heard of 2Pac” thing?) Still, I'm Disappointed: How a Superstar Rapper/Ghost Leaves for the World's Biggest Male Artist ian do i wash him by all means? Their new song “Hate Me” is like when the random private school student drops 30 to ranked college recruits with shoe offers.
Riding a cyber-bounce from producer ChildBoy, ian comes with a smooth, slippery flow and the kind of cute fried punches that made his unblocked 'feature it out' song instantly memorable: 'Wedding cake in my blunt with no bride yet /If I face another, I will die here.' Yachty is comparatively a non-factor, a fancy name to attract Kai Cenat devotees and The despicable me 4 fans of the video directed by Cole Bennett. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I might have to do an edit just for ian.
ian's been one of the weirdest ascents in hip-hop this year: From making cool, nerdy ambient rap to pushing trashy Gucci clone music to smoking Lil Yachty on a track. I'm still not sure why I should care beyond “Look at this white kid rapping that and wow, is he playing Beethoven on stage?' But hey, “Hate Me” kind of goes.
