Internet darling Playboi Carti's collaboration with Drake, "Pain 1993," was finally released as part of the Dark Lane Demo Tapes but not everybody was happy about it. In fact, a good number of social media critics have been trashing Carti's verse on the song after so much anticipation had been built for it. One of the people who was not happy about it was producer CashMoneyAP.
Reacting to the track after listening for the first time, CashMoneyAP asked what everybody thought of "Pain 1993," revealing his own feelings about it in a tweet.
"Why is carti verse not good man," questioned the highly-touted beatmaker.
People in his comments seem to almost unanimously agree that his take on the verse is correct. One man even said that he would be editing the song and cropping out Carti's verse. Harsh.
With Playboi Carti appearing on a couple of new songs this year, the hype continues to grow for his new album Whole Lotta Red. The rapper is seemingly having fun toying with his fans, failing to reveal a release date on many occasions. Most recently, Carti hinted that the album would drop a few weeks ago by tweeting "rEd. 24 hrs." As you all know, the album has still not released despite his warning.
What did you think of his verse on "Pain 1993?"
CashMoneyAP Asks Producers If They’d Work With 6ix9ine
CashMoneyAP opens the floor to his fellow producers, inquiring whether working with 6ix9ine is a justifiable career move.
Ever since the early release of Tekashi 6ix9ine, granted in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, a moral conundrum has plagued both artists and producers alike. To collaborate or not to collaborate with the disgraced rainbow wonder, that is the question. At least, it's the question for CashMoneyAP, multi-platinum producer known for his work with Migos, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Young Thug, Chief Keef, and more. Taking to Twitter, he asked his fellow beatmakers whether the inevitable bag would be worth the implicit abandonment of integrity.

"Question for producers : would u work with 6ix9ine rn knowing that he’ll do crazy numbers?" he writes, opening the floor and gauging reactions accordingly. Now, we've naturally seen many rappers express a reticence toward locking in with Tekashi, who notoriously acted as an informant against his fellow Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, down to his once-manager Shotti. As such, his reputation has taken an irreparable hit in certain eyes -- though he seems fine with running with the rebrand.
Insofar as CashMoneyAP's question, it stands to reason that there will be plenty of producers lining up to soundtrack 6ix9ine's musical comeback. While he might very well miss out on those A-list placements, the looming possibility of a fat bag will surely be enough to bring no shortage of ambitious instrumentalists out of the wood-work. And what are the consequences, if any, for a producer who simply shrugs and hits send on that Tekashi beat pack instrumental -- is knocking the hustle not a faux-pas in itself?
All things considered, perhaps this is the perfect time to flood 6ix9ine with beats. He'll be looking to hit the ground running, and someone's going to have to step up. The only question is: who will it be?
