We’re too grown to not know what a switch in flow is. She was most definitely on beat

A flow switch should still match the beat and not sour the vibe

 

it did not give is the short version of the story

Do female rappers have nothing to talk about but their beep & shake their beep. It’s exhausting! The lyrics are so cringe and stupid! It’s like you have to dumb yourself down to enjoy this song. 
 

Both Megan & Cardi have been doing the same thing over and over again with the same tired message about their *****! 

What do male rappers rap about 99% of the time? The male equivalent (getting girls, getting money, g*ng sh*t)! Being ostentatious and braggadocious is the core of modern rap, I don’t understand why you would be mad at it knowing what you’re getting lol. Plus, rappers like Cardi and Nicki have both said when they go into deep subject matter with message, no one talks about it; so there’s no actual demand for “deep” rap from the female rap girls, you guys act fake outraged but would never be seated for a Megan Thee Stallion or Cardi B album that wasn’t sexual/flamboyant.

im so bored of these vulgar as rappers. something new next time maybe?

[Galah]

The visual saves this, the song itself is kinda just so-so. It's not bad but it's very paint-by-numbers raunchy rap sex bop. ***** popping, ass smacking, nothing we haven't heard (or seen) before. Hope this is a successful vessel to finally get Cardi's next album out tho, I'm sure she'll have some more solo bops in the vault.

whew girl

[Hi-res]

Oh no I don’t like it 

[FOCK]

 I don’t see it making the same waves as WAP, but even though the formula is a retread, it didn’t come off as trying to recapture the same vulgarity-shock factor.
 

Meg absolutely chewed her parts, I gagged, I don’t even have a gag reflex. 

 

This is where Cardi is most in her element imo, not the opp ish or pretending she can spit. Give fun, color, summer, “I Like It” vibes. 
 

The video is well done, but it did come off as an advertisement in some parts. It’s visually striking & I appreciate the minimalism contrasted against the busy track. 
 

The rainbow lewk gave this tho

Terrible 

[Delusional]

Omggggg I’m excited to see it at the VMAs now and I’m assuming they will perform at the BET awards if she’s up for 12 awards.

[Konril]

Replaying this and it's really fire. They did that! 

[Mystical]

The male voice saying “bon” throughout the entire song must be the most grating thing ever… like why 

[Negiiiii]

First listen (without the MV) = was ok

Second listen (with the MV) = a SLAAAAAY

 

it’s a  BOP BOP BOP BOP. That beat when Meg comes !? Wheeeeeew!!!!!!!!!!

[airplane]

The beat was literally running away from Cardi 

 

Yeah… i don’t see this being a smash for Cardi. Back to the drawing board

So true, the same boring **** about a** and p*ssy every single time 

 

Nicki is so much better and more diverse in that sense when it comes to her lyrical content. No wonder she’s always been superior!

This is such a weird song lol what even is this structure? makes the song feel way longer that it is. 

[josesuxx]

I'm not feeling it on first listen but I hope it smashes I like to see Meg and Cardi win 

[TheFlyingRobot]

It's no way near as catchy as WAP... It feels like its missing a chorus and the beat isn't strong enough, not feeling this tbh... The video however is great, you can see there's a budget lol.

[Musicmajor]

I’m conflicted on the song but THAT VIDEOOOO 🔥 Meg’s BODY?? Insane, truly. WAP was instantly catchy but I think this one has to grow on me a little bit. The video for sure saves this 👌 

[EnterTheAttic]

I love my Cardi but the song is a bit underwhelming. At least on first listens. But the video is amazing!

[Delusional]

Can they hurry up and change her Apple Music profile picture please

 

Spoiler

Yes I know my gif is grainy as hell 

 

[HardBambi]

First listen, Cardi’s part sounds like Housewives of Atlanta having a nice chat, and that’s nice but not good

Not as catchy as WAP but decent, does lack like a catchy chorus I feel. 

[EliMaraj]

The only thing that can save this song is payola. It's a shame really, they actually had me a little nervous. In 2023, Cardi's lackluster rapping abilities can't be saved by a gag-worthy visual or a-list producers. Her time is coming. 

 

Meg did her best to save the record - but it wasn't enough.
