The Whole Lotta Red Emperor, Carti is easily one of the strongest Hype users that fans have seen in music. He is currently in his prime, which means that his Hype is at its peak as well. Shanks is monsterful in music, and his Hype is such that it can be felt months away.
With a single release of his Hype-based single[1], even an amazing rapper in Future[2], as well as his right hand man, Metro Boomin[3] can be taken down. What's incredible is that this is only a glimpse of his musical prowess and he has not shown what he is truly capable of.
See his scar? Its got three lines. Vertical lines, they are albums but not really. Really though: Did his adopted dad not Die Lit? Is Whole Lotta Red not the moment when Red-haired Shanks became an Emperor? Then there is the third scar. I Am Music. Is Shanks the standard? Certainly, he is the strongest but is he the standard? Is strongest the standard? Is Hype[4] enough?
Enough about his scar, let's move on to his crew. Formed between the events of Die Lit[5] and Whole Lotta Red[6] the Red Haired Pirates are Opium[7].
Enough about his gang, let's move on back to him and by him, that's a no feature single. Solo, the Red-Haired Emperor destroyed another red-hair. Yeah, that's ALL RED[8].
