Whole Lotta Red is the record credited with defining the rage microgenre of trap music, directly influencing a generation of artists including Yeat, Ken Carson, and the majority of the current underground rap scene. Released on Christmas Day 2020, it was met with a polarized response before its reputation reversed entirely.
In 2025, Complex named it the fifteenth-best album of the 21st century, calling it the "big bang" of rage. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming Carti's first US number-one album. Half a decade later, this is the record that rewrote the rules, encapsulated for preservation.
