The problem with this song is it’s just too much. After a couple listens I really like it but with WAP the production was simple, there was different flows for each verse and it was catchy. This song is just kinda messy and it would’ve done much better with a more simple beat

i wish the girls could at least give us more memorable lines like that's cardi's strength when it comes to one liners... but i can't think of anything else other than "stiff h**s can't relate" from megan as of now

[Mr. Stratus]

Yeah this song is rebounding a bit, views are nice on YT and climbing on AM not just USA. Also Cardi’s attitude is not a coincidence, label is possibly confident it’ll become some kind of a hit.

She wasted all of her one liners on that eature run istg

Like Tomorrow 2 had so many quotables and thats why it became a small hit

barbs and bardigang need to unite and help each other cause both our favs are flops now lol

It didn't, in terms of drop at least. Bongos had a 20% decrease worldwide and Hot Sh*t had like 27%. Similar difference in the US

 

A 20% drop is not that bad tbh. This is obviously underperforming, but it's not looking unsalvageable

[dman4life]

This song goes OFF when I'm listening in the gym I honestly love it but I can tell it won't stick as a hit for her unfortunately.

I mean in streams not drop

Hot **** had 1.516M Global 793k US streams second day

Idrc that much if this song flops, what i care about is that this will make cardi discouraged and we'd have to wait another year for a single

I will say Megan looks breathtaking in that sparkling green bathing suit

[Starkboy]

the drop isn't bad, it was the first day that was underwhelming.

Cardi better be cooking something up for her VMAs performance as good as her I Like It performance at the 2018 AMAs 

[punisher]

Hopefully the VMA’s will give it a push

Aka, Atlantic is confident with the amount of payola they have lined up. Regardless, if the streams don't hold up it won't matter in the long run.

Absolutely! My favorite look is the one in light blue/turquoise in that hallway. It reminds me of an overwatch character 

 

Oh also (and I'm kinda surprised nobody mentioned it yet) but the scene with that striped room and Outfit and the glasses face me major swalla vibes

it would be iconic if Nicki comes on during the performance but there's not enough power, i'm afraid

Well the urban industry pushed harder for Hot **** cause of the 2 male rappers featured.   But we clearly see which song is driving more conversation and better numbers overall despite the mess. 

 

Yesterday was rough but things started to pick up cause of the obvious hate train from a certain crowd. So many of them were exposed as agents who stan and directly worked with a certain man.

This isn't a group project. Mind you Barbie World is a 2 month old song.

P**** tight like a nun

Looking like a lost cause WW but the way it’s flying up USA Shazam has nothing to do with Payola, it means people are checking it themselves. It’ll be more so up to tiktok for this I think. It only has 100m playlist reach debut and wasn’t on any big AM playlists I don’t believe. That points to possibly curators not being convinced on this song
