Yay or Nay: Yea, it’s straight
1st Listen:
-Obviously the song of the summer
-Completely bitten; to get full context, listen to Kodak Black's song "No Flockin"
-The beat is more full to me in her version almost to the point that it's not even the same
-The whole track is nothing but punchlines
-Her rapping is a bit slow, but that's what's hot right now; she has a small lisp lol
-"I bet you dip he dip she dip"-I was thinkin this was just a play on the song, but it apparently is a little reference to her shooting folks)
-You don’t really even dance to this; all you can do is rap aggressively
Message:
I have money, you do not. If you do not have money, I am better than you. If you don’t like me, it’s because I have more money than you. I can take your man. I can take your money. I can make you dip because I have dipped. Lol. But for real, it is a sort of boss bish anthem and that’s cool.
Overall:
I had to let this grow on me, but I’ve always avoided the trends. It has its' moments and it’s hard not to like a song like that because it’s got the remnants of a good hip-hop song: sampled it/bit it and catchy punch lines. You have to entertain and despite the lisp, she seems to do so. Lol. I do believe she just happened to be on that show and she happened to know somebody with the label. But we shall see if she’s a true entertainer or just a gimmick. She’s got some other songs that are decent and she’s spitting, but this song leaves a lot of doubt in my head. I’d love to hear a broader topic structure. To be honest, I think it’s a hit, but a basic one. I feel like song wouldn't have done much without both the beat and the punchlines. It won’t be timeless like ya'll think, though.
