The lyrics of the song voiced straight to luxury, casual treats, and strip club culture. “I fell in love with a stripper” and “I make $100,000 every 20 folds” lines are smoking hot that depict the luxuries of the high-rolling lifestyle. The track is favored to keep up a vigorous pace throughout where Ray J declares “NOTHING BIGGER THAN THE CHAT!!!” in his caption thus he points out that in this modern social media-oriented environment it is the music that speaks.
While some of the listeners ranked their comments according to the song’s hierarchy of energy, others were too quick to state their mixed feelings. One very active supporter was extremely quick to announce that the nightlife was going to be the domain of the track, the user’s expectation of such a situation was transmitted through the words “Send this song to me!!!!! I’m tryna play it when I dj lol” – the song obviously is hitting the clubs. The user was really thrilled indicating that the professionals’ DJs, who are always the first to spot and tap the right tracks, have already looked at this one as a potential immediate play.
A comment that was ear-related but at the same time musical was more than analytical. “The adlibs is iffy. The song cool tho” gave a balanced evaluation that recognized the weaknesses of the track while talking about its virtues at the same time. Probably very few comments have been as insightful and mature as this one which suggests that listeners are not just a passive audience who only concern themselves with the surface-level content but are actually engaging with the deeper aspects of music.
On the other hand, there were some critics and one such person voiced his opinion saying “You way to old to be rapping these kinds of lyrics @rayj”. This comment restates the talking point on one hand about the evolution of the artist and on the other hand about the consistency of the artist’s character throughout his/her career.
The collaboration with WhoIsTruth is another bonus on the new single. It is a mix of Ray J along with the established presence and the new talent in the hip-hop scene. The close interaction of the two on the track also shows the way how the collaboration of the veteran artists with the emerging voices of the industry can be vital and thus, keeping their relevance.
