Mista Thug Isolation obviously. The production is absolutely incredibly and LUM actually has bars. The down pitched vocals also add to the atmosphere. I always thought he was a memester but it's obvious that he deeply cares about the genre. Not at all comparable to hacks like Bones or $uicideboy$.

I love MTI but its lyrical content is a bit meme-ish frankly. It sounds almost satirical of Southern rap.
I remember the 'rap music' I made in high school as well

It's pretty standard Memphis Rap affair with some Horrorcore thrown in. Both genres portray larger than life drug kingpin personas with no regard for human life. LMU deconstructed those genres and knows their quirks so he knows when to throw in humor to keep the whole thing from becoming an unbearable mess of edgyness. MTI is pretty much an homage to the whole Memphis Rap scene.

don't memes often deconstruct culture and ideas any way and create humor from that? satirical is probably too strong a word but i think the lyricism is too self-aware and meta to be pure homage

Of course it's satirical in some way, it's a Memphis Rap album made in 2012 by a white guy in Virginia. He can't do a serious Memphis album with a straight face, that would be insincere. He's as much of a drug kingpin who will slit your throat for looking at you funny as Three 6 Mafia are occultist devil worshipers. You have so suspend your disbelief a bit when you deal with Horrocore.

i understand why you guys think lum is memey but in my opinion its a part of the persona, hip hop kind of humor you can say its a little ironic and not like the """"conscious rappers"""" but whats real hip hop anyway, his lyrics arent that different from classics like three 6 mafia or biggie. the production is amazing too

like the autistic screeching meme...it deconstructs antisocial behavior and makes it funny...
or the arthur meme, it deconstructs childhood innocence and its relation to our maturity and makes it funny...
