Metro Boomin and 21 Savage returned to their roots by dropping a chopped-not-slopped version of their Savage Method 2 album. In the process of doing so, Metro even more distanced the album from the field conventional by denouncing deluxe albums.

“Chopped up not slopped up tonight paying homage to the OGs and common hip hop,” Metro mentioned on Twitter when announcing the release of the Chopped-n-Screwed version of the album that came courtesy of Slim K, OG Ron C, and The Chopstars. “That deluxe shit burnt out #RIPDJSCREW.”

Recently, every person and their mom have made the decision to re-rock their albums and fall deluxe variations. Although the thought of a deluxe album is not new, it has been introduced again to life by acts looking to furth strengthen their album’s Billboard chart achievement. In the course of an interview with Complex, Lil Uzi Vert‘s label head, Don Cannon, defined that Uzi was the very first artist to completely revive the thought. 

“Uzi began the deluxe [trend],” Cannon said. “It’s like he’s carrying out a total other wave of visionary shit.”

Yet even when Uzi determined to drop a deluxe album, he did it in an revolutionary way. Immediately after authorized challenges and fighting for his musical freedom, Uzi lastly dropped Eternal Atake in March. Uzi made the decision to reward his fans for years of persistence by adding Lil Uzi Vert vs. the Entire world 2 on leading of Everlasting Atake a 7 days later on. This was technically a deluxe album, but it felt and was packaged as two different assignments. Artists like Gunna, DaBaby, and other people have followed go well with. But as a substitute of taking Uzi’s modern route, they just piled on further songs to their now done projects.
