Fierce collaborations and crips comebacks make up the matter of Megan Thee Stallions self-titled entry.
It’s funny to think that the same month there was public uproar for Eminem’s diss of Megan Thee Stallion, she dropped her long awaited self-titled release, dissing absolutely everyone.
No one is safe on Megan. Drake? He’s just a “cosplay gangster” walking around “with a fake-ass accent.” Nicki? A “bitter bitch” who should spend more time “worry[ing] ‘bout [her] man and kid”. Eminem? You mean that “white bitch on the internet”?
Keep up with the latest music news, festivals, interviews and reviews here.
If the Houston-raised rapper is pushing an agenda on her third release, it’s “if you come at Megan, you better not miss”. If you do, she’s not just coming after you, she’s coming after your whole damn life. Your rap career, your friends, your family, nothing is off limits. Then, after she tears down every aspect of you, she’ll start claiming your redundancy payments.
To say she goes hard would be an understatement. Every lyric is spat like a barrage of punches, and they always have the beats to match.
From hard-hitting trap anthems (‘Where The Girls At’), to rambunctious flips of Gwen Stefani’s ‘What You Waiting For?’ (‘BOA’), to deep-cut Jujutsu Kaisen samples and bi-lingual bars in ‘Otaku Hot Girl’ and ‘Mamushi’, every track on Megan is meticulously crafted to make sure that the lyrics, beats, features and overall sonic experience match Megan’s strategically penned lyrical onslaught.
Throughout the Tory Lanez trial, Megan’s silence was deafening. Now, it’s her turn to speak up, and she doesn’t waste a second of it.
MEGAN is out now and can be streamed here.
