This morning I went outside and saw my dog chewing up a piece of his own shit on the lawn. He was loving it.
Universal’s latest addition, Angie the self titled ‘Lil Weed Hoe’, along with her new single – the poetically titled ‘Smoke Weed Eat Pussy’, would appear to be an example of the exact same coprophagic wonder.
With vocal editing reminiscent of ‘Shawty Wanna Fuck’ and an instrumental straight off www.hottrapinstrumentals.com, Angie‘s new single has a loud bassline.
As for the rest? Well. It’s like Iggy Azalea tea leaves after the fifth brew with an added teaspoon of Kool-Aid because…why not?!
Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against a heavy beat or adult content. Some tracks have a raw energy that is too good to ignore.
I can’t say the same for this particular single however, and after the third purgatorial listen-through the vocals seemed to stretch out into one note, much like an angry wasp in a jam jar.Not to mention it’s about as simplistic lyrically as it possibly could be (hey its easy to sing along to) – “I will never be a baby…because I’m a motherfucking lady”
That rhyming dictionary was worth the money!
Beyond all of this though, the track seems very carefully packaged to check all the right edge boxes to get the 14 year old market giddy after a few Lambrinis. Listing different marijuana strains (wait..what…you smoke weed??!?! fuck) – check, pink hair – check, sex – check, Eminem reference (hardcore) – check, pitched down vocals – check.
Surprised they haven’t thrown in a little “oh-oh-oh” to really get Radio 1’s dick hard.
I would say that I’m baffled that Universal are backing this, but they know it will sell.
Especially if they continue to ram it down people’s throats until the taste of it seems blissful compared to violent stimulation of the gag reflex.
But they must know what’s good right?
And some people do love the taste of their own shit. My dog included.
