single Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion - "Bongos"

[Delusional]

Just now, hallucinate said:

i really wish it had a proper chorus

I do wish we heard them both say “MY BACK SHOTS SOUND LIKE BONGOSSSS” at some point because it eats everytime I listen

this only doing 1M views in 8 hours is enough of an indication that it wont be successful

[Mr. Stratus]

It’s also growing on me. Love the video, Meg has an insane physique!

Wasn’t keen on the song but it’s grown on me. I actually prefer Cardi’s parts. She adds personality and a comdey tea to some lines. I’m sure more ATRLers will come in and say it’s ‘grown’ on them when the AM debuts come in - par for course with any new release  

[mxoonlight]

Not feeling this one right now but I liked Megan’s part + they both look great in the video

This is fine, but Cardi has been making different version of the same song for five years. 

 

There's no sonic or artistic development

I-

 

This explains why I hate it. 

 

[brraap]

This sounds so 2017 

 

Yawn 

 

It’s weird hearing about p**** and all that vulgarity she spewed in 2023. Even meg couldn’t save this

Haven’t YT views been rapidly tanking for western artists? Another reason why her team wanted another Latin artist on the song, views still big in Latin America. 

[Sugden]

amazing video but the chorus needed someting more memorable to stick

the non stop bong bong bong gets annoying after a while

[Oxygen]

Hope this does well, I really enjoy it

they have but this is a big production mv and sort of her "comeback" after Hot Shyte. Only 1M in 8 hours is low

[wehavetostan]

The “Bongo” throughout the song is a bit annoying. Maybe it’ll grow on me

They still released a song with no 1bn grossing film attached, no TikTok pre-build instrumental drop, no sample, and just the one version. That in itself is a brave thing for some artists

!!!

 

Is there a version without them? 

 

Btw Megan served for the gods huh

[tshwark]

So disappointed, Cardi is a lost cause but Megan can do better than that, she is more than big fat ass and beat it up lyrics, so sad. 

[Delusional]

When did prudes invade ATRL?

 

[Katamari]

The video was so colorful and fun. Reminded me of a Fanta commercial

 

that vocal sample should not have played throughout the entire song

[Monkey_Juice]

Sorry but I don't like the song

 

 

cute video tho

[shinri]

...
At least music video is nice

[Puttanesca]

The video is cute but the song isn't really clicking for me. 

[shyboi]

Megan looks HOT,  the song is meh. 

[est. in 90s]

Not some of the same ppl that went up for records like Munch and Pound town all summer complaining about 'vulgarity' and 'rapping about the same thing' 

[wehavetostan]

Has anyone read the comments on their Instagrams… fans are a bit disappointed by the song

[GardenPanty]

it’s the fact that she thought people would move for the same gimmick she pulled in 2020 with an even worse song…

[SapphireSky]

Not feeling it

[Frozen99]

first listen was okay, now i'm ******* with it, first song since UP i like, the last four songs of hers didn't really hit me.

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