Wikipedia

  1. mumbling

    Mumble rap (often referred to as "SoundCloud rap") is a loosely defined microgenre of hip hop that largely spread on the online audio distribution platform SoundCloud in the 2010s. The generally critically leveled term implies a mumbling or unclear vocal delivery by artists, and has been used to describe rappers who do not share the genre's traditional emphasis on meaningful lyricism. The phrase "SoundCloud rappers" has also been used in a manner coextensive with "mumble rappers", referring to the artists' music distribution on SoundCloud.Mumble rap may create the illusion of fast and skilled vocal delivery due to its unclear nature; for example, the music of Young Thug has been seen as using this illusion. While the term has hence been taken as derogatory, some artists have reappropriated the term and have defended the style as a new phase in the evolution of the genre.
