Not soon after, the lyrics bring you back to the reality that you’re listening to an artist born in 1996. The beat awakens memories of oversized tees under even bigger jerseys, tongues hanging from Timberland boots and fitted caps cocked low. Philadelphia’s Armani White has been rapping since 2017 but hadn’t gained widespread acknowledgment until the release of the viral song “Billie Eillish.” Titled after the award-winning pop singer, the track includes a clear-cut sample of N.O.R.E’s 2002 “Nothin’.” Because, as she says, she gets what she wants. As the song continues to dominate social media, with over half a million TikTok creations and 28 million streams on Spotify, Ice Spice is primed for an even better 2023. Though songs like “No Clarity” and “Bikini Bottom” have gained the young star popularity, it is “Munch” that was her formal introduction to the music scene. She combines sex appeal and a fiery attitude over this one-minute 44-second jam, branding a raspy voice that is unforgettable. Spice also takes aim at women she believes can’t compare to her: “Bi**hes ain’t bad, let’s keep it a bean/ Know they be mad that I be on the scene/ A** too fat, can’t fit in no jeans/ You was my stitch but it’s not what it seam.” “You thought I was feelin’ you? That ni**a a munch/ Ni**a a eater, he ate it for lunch/ Bi**h, I’m a baddie, I get what I want like,” the 23-year-old asserts. Flipping the colloquial term “eater,” the Bronx drill rapper displays how women can have men bending at their will. Ice Spice’s “Munch (Feelin’ U)” exhibited the value of coming up with lingo that people will want to repeat. “I got plaques in the mail, peak season/ Shout out to my UPS workers makin’ sure I receive ’em/ You can do it too, believe it.” Call it bubble gum rap or pop, but the impact here earns him a spot on this list. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It’s warranted, as this record debuted at No.
Through the triumphs and insecurities, the 25-year-old asserts that he was called to rap, and wants others to have the same confidence. Flipping Fergie’s 2000s jam “Glamorous,” the Louisville rapper spits “I been a (G), throw up the (L), sex in the (A-M).” Despite this new status, he still has naysayers on his mind with lines like “Back in 2019, I was outside freely/ But now they got it out for me/ I don’t care what frat that you was in, you can’t alpha me/ Keep dreamin'” and “Why do y’all sleep on me? I need reasons.” Not only does he enjoy the finer things in life, but he’s bringing a lady on the way. “First Class” is a clear indication that Jack Harlow ascended to new heights. It escapes the sexual gimmickry of tracks like the Future-assisted “Pressurelicious” while still embracing grown woman bars that are undeniably real, raw, and unapologetic, guaranteeing it a spot on this list of 2022’s best Hip-Hop songs. While “Plan B” doesn’t have the high-gloss appeal of tracks like the Vogue-influenced “HER ,” and the Dua Lipa-assisted “Sweetest Pie,” the old-school elements she embraced on the record make it a stand-out on an album that is otherwise quite redundant. She has since confirmed that several exes crossed her mind when pen met the pad, the same going for Hip-Hop veteran Lil Kim, who hopped on the official remix to take her own exes to the task – despite what some others believed at the time. Many believed it to be Tory Lanez, thanks to their legal issues. The boom-bap feel of the record engaged classic Hip-Hop fans while the incendiary nature of her bars satisfied a gossip-craving public, as well as blogs pondering just who exactly the southern MC was calling a “bi**h” on the song’s vulgarly empowering hook. 7 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Song Chart. Officially dropping a week later as the second single from 2022 album, Traumazine, the Jodeci-sampled track Meg claimed was “very mother**king personal,” became an anthem for women looking to vicariously stunt on their own exes through the Grammy winner, debuting at No. With “Plan B,” the Houston hottie channeled her frustration with under-achieving, yet cocksure men into a song aimed at an ex who lives to regret his mistreatment of the star, obviously pulling from her own experiences with various suitors who fumbled the bag.ĭebuting the song during the 2022 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Meg caused a stir within the culture just minutes after hitting the stage that April night, as footage of the 5’10” rapstress commanding the massive crowd while spitting venom at an unnamed target took hold on social media. Megan Thee Stallion has become a modern-day feminist icon for a number of reasons, including her work ethic, sex-positive swagger, and refusal to stay silent when faced with hate spewed from both the public and her Hip-Hop peers.
