i think mumble rap is kind of loose as a descriptor. if it's only attributed to rappers with incoherent lyrics (because they're "mumbling")--and that's the only requisite i've known the genre to have, so correct me if i'm misguided about this--then it's confusing on how that incoherence is gauged. i'd guess young thug, lil uzi vert, lil yachty, and famous dex are shoe-ins, but i never really thought of the likes of denzel curry, travis scott, and kodak black incomprehensible enough to be frequent additions to mumble rap playlists as much as they are. are a chunk of drill rappers lumped into the genre by extension?

tiller seems like a weird inclusion in that list, unless i'm missing something in his discography

It's that autotune sing song style of trap. Why I include Travi$ Scott even though he doesn't really mumble. People will lump him in anyways. Also forgetting Desiigner. He's like the most mumbly.

it was definitely just a short list, but desiigner's panda doesn't use autotune, does it (i can't attest for the rest of his output)? i don't know if i'd consider autotune a necessity. i get that it's recurrent though (soda boi, uzi vert, yachty, etc)

Trap Soul hangs its hat on the same hook, imo.

A lot of modern trap artists like to use those really airy witch house beats.

You nailed it. Thanks.

I mean I dig the idea of inclusion of ideas different from repackaged backpacker **** influencing the evolution of hip hop.
