When the beat fire but ... starts rapping

A phrase used when the song has a good beat but the rapper (...) on it ruins it.

Originally used on the internet with different phrases, it became popular in a different format in late 2023.
Starting off as an untrue statement about young Richmond, Virginia-based artist, Nettspend, the term quickly blew up on Twitter and started being used for other artists.

The first seen use of this new saying was from X user @kanjlrou on November 21, 2023.
Bob: That new Ice Spice song is ass. The beat was good though.
Bobby: When the beat fire but ... starts rapping

underground rap trauma

A mental disorder when listening to underground rap (ex. Lucki, Jaydes or Bunii) becomes unbearable, due to the prior use of using such music to cope with traumas. Hence making the music revoke those traumas.
Carter: “Dude I can’t listen to you anymore, it just reminds me of when I was in a really bad place, im sorry.”
