location by carti

Location by Playboi Carti is the greatest song to have ever have been written. From the genius production to the sheer lyrical genius of Carti, it is truly a masterpiece. But what makes this song so unbelievably good? I am here to attempt to tell you why.

The first thing we need to understand before the song itself is Playboi Carti, so I will be showing irrefutable evidence to Carti being the second coming of 2Pac. The first thing we need to analyze is the birth locations. This is important as Carti seems to have told us to look for this first, as the first song on his mixtape "Playboi Carti (Self Titled)" is indeed called Location, and is the subject of this essay. Carti was born in Atlanta, Georgia on September 13th, 1996. 2Pac died in the University Medical Center in Las Vegas also on September 13th, 1996. Remember that date? Hopefully, since I just mentioned it being the day Carti was born. But that's not nearly
enough evidence, and it wasn't even supposed to be the first thing to look for. Notice anything weird about the two locations? No, of course you don't. There's nothing special about them. They're on opposite sides of the USA, and there's no connection at all. At least, that's what you would be lead to believe. However, checking on the map, the two locations are EXACTLY one thousand nine hundred ninety-six miles apart. That is 1996 miles. The exact same year that Carti was born. Additionally, some believe that birthmarks are where people died in their past lives. Carti has a very noticeable birthmark on the right side of his face, the exact same place where 2Pac was shot.

The entirety of Playboi Carti's "Playboi Carti" is absolutely genius, from the mentions of fidelity on Kelly K in which he mentions that he got "hella hoe", referring to how he is loyal to his female companion to the fantastic placements of adlibs throughout the mixtape. In fact, I can feel my spirit being healed every time I hear Carti say "what". But this isn't about the genius of the whole tape, it's about the genius of the opening track, Location. As soon as I first heard this song, I was reminded of the theme that plays in Minecraft when you enter the Nether. I had assumed that this was simply a reference to a concert Carti had in the Netherlands, as he had performed at Woo Hah in 2018. The issue is not the time, as it's clear that Carti has developed his skills far enough in order to travel time. The issue is how obvious this is, so I looked into it some more. Basic Minecraft knowledge will tell you that one block in the Nether is equal to eight blocks in the Overworld. Sure, we can say 8+1=9, and that there is a song on the tape called NO. 9, but once again that is so unbelievably simple that it would be tantamount to me simply saying "the Nether is called hell so he is referring to Lil Uzi Vert". It would be lazy and uninspired. Carti is far past that sort of simple lyricism. I looked into the intro and found that Carti says "yeah" 15 times in a row, one of which is actually part of the chorus. This peaked my interest. Why not simply group the "yeah"s together? There is clearly something special about the last "yeah", and that is due to the fact that the very next word is "what". That's right, on the 16th word spoken by Carti, it was "what", which confirms my theory of the Nether in Minecraft as 16 is simply 8x2. Carti was confused at having travelled 16 blocks in the Overworld, only to realize that he had only travelled 2 blocks in the Nether. He repeats the word "what", meaning that he had said it twice, for the two blocks he had travelled. He next says "You cannot hop in my car", in which it is clear that he is simply referring to his Nether Portal as a car. He realized how inefficient it is to travel in the Overworld and has instead decided to travel in the Nether. Carti flexes a little bit to get us not thinking about his next line, then he says "Diamonds they wet on my arms". This is the first time Carti has told us about his gear. Wet can refer to enchantments, as the surface is shiny, and on the arms can mean that he has a diamond chestplate. Carti seems to be doing very well in terms of his armor. He repeats the words "yeah" and "what" quite a few times for the interlude, one word per block travelled. He says these words 14 times, meaning he travelled 14 blocks in the Nether, or
112 blocks.

Carti next talks about having sexual intercourse with a female, which once again is to throw us off. Carti says in the same verse “Whip it up like the 80s,” referring to the mass amount of crack cocaine being sold in the 80s. The most popular at the time was Pablo Escobar, arrested just before all of this cocaine was released to the masses. We need to remember that Escobar had the prison ID of 128482.  He continues by saying "I'm in the kitchen, go crazy", in which he not only single handedly ends sexism, but also shows that he was
indeed cooking crack cocaine. Next up is probably the most important part.

Carti says "Pull up we totin' .380s", the last number we need. Now we will need some very advanced mathematics.  We will start with taking the former half of Escobar's prison ID as he was arrested in the former half of the 70s, and the crack epidemic occurred in the second half of his life. So, we have 482. Next, we will need the 380 that Carti mentioned. We take the average of these two and get 431. We will now add how many blocks Carti travelled in the Overworld while in the Nether as well as the first half of Escobar's prison ID. We do need to add them one digit at a time, as Carti has never once expressed that he enjoys adding big numbers together.
We do however have to make an exception for 12. Why 12, you might ask? Well, that's a stupid question. His first mixtape was released  in 2012, and we always need to make an exception for someone's first work and overrate the absolute hell out of it. So, we will take 128 and 112. With this we have 12+8+1+12, or 35. So now we have 431 and 35. The next part is extremely simple. We simply add them together, and get 464. This number is extremely special for Carti, and one other artist. Remember how I mentioned how the Nether is called "hell", and therefore associated with Lil Uzi Vert? Well, that was actually another intentional meaning. Remember Carti and Uzi's project 16*29? Did you know that 16*29 is actually a math equation, represented as 16x29? And do you know what 16x29 is equal to? 464. With this song,
Carti had announced 16*29 far before any of you were ready for it, because he is a genius. Thank you for reading.
