So today we're going to do something we haven't done in a while, and that's a rap review. To be honest, I just, I haven't been inspired by any new jams in quite a while. I haven't had a moment where I hear something and I think, well, geez, that shit is fire. That is until I came across this song. It's listed on YouTube as YBN Namir Apas Stapa Feet 21 Savage. Now, as far as I can tell, there are two people and a song title here, but only one actual word. So I'm not sure what, what's happening exactly. I'm a little bit confused, but this is a popular song. I know that. The kids love it. My four-year-old was bumping to it earlier this morning, so it's a really popular song. We'll give it a shot. Here's Apostapa with the song YBN Namir, either that or it's

YBN Nemeer with the song Apostaba. In any case, let's check it out. Here we go. He called them, if I heard correctly, he called them pancake ass N-words. I'm not sure what that means. I assume it isn't good. If somebody accuses you of being a pancake ass, it's probably safe to assume that they're not trying to compliment you, I would think. I'm not sure, though. I don't know what the exact nature of the insult is. And even though I don't know what the insult means, it kind of makes sense in a way. And I've noticed that rappers are very good at doing this, where they say something that on one level you think, wait a second, that's completely incoherent. But on another level, you think, yeah, but I sort of understand what you mean. So I can kind of see why I might go up to a guy and say,

say like, you pancake-ass fool. Look a pancake over here with this pancake ass. I mean, I don't think I would ever say that to anybody, but at least why me and Amir Ken? A rocket in my pocket socket, caught a pocket rocket rocket if it's war, we ain't playing gangs, we get it started.

I'm the man, clippie. Hey, I'm a gunner. When it's beef, we ain't playing gang, we hit you in. Yo mama, that chopper, that's that oppa stopper. Hit you, There are this fucking money. You in love with drama.

Say, baby, I'm not so-so-baby, but I keep along. We got to pull up and a new I ate. You riding in a hundred. There are so many elements of this scene that we have to sort through. Like there's a guy on a cell phone that was made in 1998. They've also got brand new iPhones and a TV that somebody watched the moon landing on in 1969. They got all this cash on the table. And YBN says that he fell in love with the money.

it's a very financially confused scene is what I'm saying. You need to diversify your bonds. Plus they've got a window AC unit in the house. With all that money, you've got hundreds of just thousands of dollars sitting on the table. Take some of that. You could easily pay for central AC. Take a few wads of that cash. Head down to Home Depot.

Talk to somebody about getting you an HVAC unit for the house. Now, in this case, that's a house with, it's not a lot of square footage there. So HVAC system is going to pay for. itself and energy savings over the years. And these are all things that I could explain if YBN and 21 Savage were to invite me to their barbecue. And I frankly think that most rapper crews need a white dad and a flannel at the barbecue, just dropping a little bit of dad knowledge. That's, that's my theory. Anyway, I'm on my buddies. Why your girlfriend always want to fuck me want to touch my body? We got all type of fucking guys might even have a time. I remember them days in the

Just to free my riot and free Chris, though. Remember we was bouncing out with fo'fo. A n'n'n' keep it silent in LA, I keep a clip, though. Because no, I can't be lacking in these streets. I keep a big pole. And I can't have no n'u-h with me if they go snitch on. That's chopper, that's that oppa-stopper.

Hit you in your pot. I'm filing love with all this fucking money. You in love with drama. Say, say, baby, I'm not sosa baby, but I keep a long. I'm going to pull up, and I knew I ate you riding. When I listen to these lyrics, and I try to process the message, I can't help it pick up on very heavy Dr. Seuss influences in the rhyme scheme. Who's canceled now, by the way, for being racist.

But I think he should get credit for influencing much of modern rap. Like he says in the first verse, I keep a rocket in my pocket socket, socket called a pocket rocket rocket, which is very similar to Seuss when he wrote about the Wocket in the pocket, one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books grown up. And really in both cases, you become a little uncomfortable because it sounds vaguely sexual. And then YBN says in the hook, he says, here's what he says. Know that choppa, that's the op-stoppa, hit you and your partners.

I fell in love with all this fucking money. You in love with drama. Say, say, baby, I'm not Sosa, baby, but I keep a llama. Gonna pull up in a new I-E. You riding in a Honda. And I love that because of the way that he advocates for responsible farming practices. And he says he has a llama. I'm a little worried about there isn't enough room to have.

house a llama on that postage stamp yard there. But I'll assume he's rented out of barn or something like that, some farmland somewhere. But basically, he has gotten into animal husbandry, and he's advocating for it in this song. That's what I'm picking up on. I could imagine him maybe going and performing this song about raising llamas maybe to a 4-H club for kids or something like that. So now I'm getting into the song. I'm saving 21. Touch your baby and mama in the air like she is salad.

Oh, God. Ratchet bids up me while I'm driving. She from daddy straight up. The mama got some buns on her. I call her Patty. My mother, bitch, you smoking all the wood. She from Cadley, 21. In my Tesla roast, 221.

My pistol out the holster. I'm double cup and syrup, I don't need no coastal facts. Arts want promotion. Put them on the poster. Gunting them down in his own hood because he's local. I watched 10 bricks. Gats, guys. Rolling Lott, Miami, I put up with 10 sticks.

Twent-o-1. Smell my fragrance, you can't tell me I ain't rich. 21. Big four, airline's shaking no hand with no snitch. There's a few things that I appreciate here as we hear 21 Savage come and deliver his verse, spit his bars. First, I love that 21 Savage really gives the impression of somebody who doesn't want to be in the music video at all. He's not even supposed to be here today. He seems very put out, like he doesn't want to be at the party. Everybody else is throwing cash around, you know, really, really doing the op-a-stoppa.

21 Savage is off in the corner, and when it's his turn to rap, He's kind of like rolling his eyes and saying, fine, okay, I'll spit some bars if you want me to. And he comes with, let's be honest, some pretty lazy material. You could tell that he wasn't ready for this. Like he showed up to the house and they're getting ready for the music video. And he said, oh, is that today? Grabbed a napkin, ran to the kitchen, wrote his verse in about four minutes. And that's how we get lines like this.

He says, little mama got some buns on her. I call her Patty. Do you really, though? Do you really call her Patty because of her buns? I don't think you do. maybe 21 Savage can get away with a line like that. I don't think I could. If I was single, no way I could walk up to a woman and say,

hey, couldn't help but notice your buns. Say, do you mind if I call you a Patty? No, that wouldn't work for me. I would get Cuomoed on that. Sexual harassment claims, everything. But I'm not 21 Savage, so he can do that. Speaking of which, I also liked how 21 Savage said his name, 21, after every line. So it goes, he says,

L'emama got some buns on her. I call her Patty, 21. My model, be smoking all the woods. She from Cali. 21. Rolling loud Miami, I pull up with 10 sticks. 21. Smell my fragrance.

You can tell me I ain't rich. 21. Big 4L. I ain't shaking no hand with no snitch. 21. So it's almost like, it's like memento or something, where he has no short-term memory.

And so he has to remind himself who he is every two seconds. And that's smart because you don't want to have an existential crisis in the middle of the rap where you forget who you are, where you are, why you are. Only thing I'll say is that, and look, I don't mean to harsh anyone's a vibe, okay? I don't mean to harsh any buzzes here. But again, as the white dad in the flannel at the barbecue, marijuana does affect short-term memory. So if you're having trouble remembering things from one moment to a next, you have to remind yourself who you are. in the middle of the song, then maybe I would think about not smoking that good shit quite so often.

At least they blur out the middle fingers in the end. That literally a whole song about drugs, guns, hose. But the middle finger at the end is a bridge too far. And I appreciate that. I mean, in the last verse, the guy was talking about drinking and driving while holding a loaded pistol in his hand on his way to murder someone while wearing a watch that he bought with drug money. But you wouldn't want something really inappropriate like a crass hand gesture in your music video.

We all have standards, even why Bia and 21 Savage do. And that, I think, is the silver lining.
