00:00:00.000 So today we're going to do something we haven't done in a while, and that's a rap review.
00:00:04.040 To be honest, I just, I haven't been inspired by any new jams in quite a while.
00:00:08.780 I haven't had a moment where I hear something and I think, well, geez, that s*** is fire.
00:00:13.820 That is until I came across this song.
00:00:15.340 It's listed on YouTube as YBN Namir, Appa Stapa, Feet 21 Savage.
00:00:21.560 Now, as far as I can tell, there are two people and a song title here, but only one actual word.
00:00:27.820 So I'm not sure what's happening exactly.
00:00:30.860 I'm a little bit confused, but this is a popular song.
00:00:32.900 I know that.
00:00:33.520 The kids love it.
00:00:34.300 My four-year-old was bumping to it earlier this morning, so it's a really popular song.
00:00:39.180 We'll give it a shot.
00:00:39.880 Here's Appa Stapa with the song YBN Namir.
00:00:42.640 Either that or it's YBN Namir with the song Appa Stapa.
00:00:45.120 In any case, let's check it out.
00:00:47.480 Here we go.
00:00:47.980 What's that?
00:00:48.740 21.
00:00:50.860 Hey.
00:00:51.580 Hey.
00:00:52.400 Howdy.
00:00:53.300 Hey, KK.
00:00:54.440 Weird ass.
00:00:55.520 Man.
00:00:55.760 He called them, if I heard correctly, he called them pancake ass N-words.
00:01:03.440 You know, I'm not sure what that means.
00:01:05.320 I assume it isn't good.
00:01:06.900 If somebody accuses you of being a pancake ass, it's probably safe to assume that they're
00:01:10.920 not trying to compliment you, I would think.
00:01:13.580 I'm not sure, though.
00:01:14.320 I don't know what the exact nature of the insult is.
00:01:17.940 And even though I don't know what the insult means, it kind of makes sense in a way.
00:01:21.560 And I've noticed that rappers are very good at doing this, where they say something that
00:01:25.180 on one level, you think, wait a second, that's completely incoherent.
00:01:28.000 But on another level, you think, yeah, but I sort of understand what you mean.
00:01:32.320 So I can kind of see why I might go up to a guy and say, say like, you pancake ass fool.
00:01:39.980 Look at pancake over here with this pancake ass.
00:01:43.620 I mean, I don't think I would ever say that to anybody, but at least, at least YBN, Namir,
00:01:47.800 Ken.
00:01:47.960 I keep a rocket in my pocket, so I can call the pocket rocket, if it's war, we ain't playing
00:01:56.580 games, bitch, we get it started.
00:01:58.260 I'm the man, clip it, keep a hundred, I'm a gunner.
00:02:01.260 When it's beef, we ain't playing games, we hit you in your mama.
00:02:04.380 You know that chopper, that's that oppa stopper, hit you in your pocket.
00:02:07.480 I fell in love with all this money, you in love with drama.
00:02:10.540 Say, say, baby, I'm not salsa baby.
00:02:12.340 There are so many elements of this scene that we have to sort through.
00:02:20.620 Like, there's a guy on a cell phone that was made in 1998.
00:02:25.140 They've also got brand new iPhones and a TV that somebody watched the moon landing on in
00:02:30.600 1969.
00:02:31.840 They got all this cash on the table, and YBN says that he fell in love with the money.
00:02:37.460 It's a very financially confused scene, is what I'm saying.
00:02:40.340 You need to diversify your bonds.
00:02:42.740 Plus, they've got a window AC unit in the house.
00:02:46.560 With all that money, you could, you got hundreds of, just thousands of dollars sitting on the
00:02:51.020 table.
00:02:51.320 Take some of that.
00:02:52.480 You could easily pay for central AC.
00:02:54.720 Take a few wads of that cash, head down to Home Depot, talk to somebody about getting
00:02:59.180 you an HVAC unit for the house.
00:03:01.000 Now, in this case, that's a house with, it's not a lot of square footage there.
00:03:04.420 So, um, HVAC system is going to pay for itself in energy savings over the years.
00:03:09.180 And these are all things that I could explain if YBN and 21 Savage were to invite me to their
00:03:14.600 barbecue.
00:03:15.180 And I frankly think that most rapper crews need a white dad in a flannel at the barbecue,
00:03:20.320 just dropping a little bit of dad knowledge.
00:03:22.820 That's, that's, that's my theory.
00:03:24.540 Anyway.
00:03:24.780 All these tattoos on my f***ing daddy, she say I'm a hottie.
00:03:28.620 Why your girlfriend always wanna f*** me, wanna touch my body?
00:03:31.660 We got all type of f***ing guys, might even have a time.
00:03:34.760 I remember them days in the Jester Free, my f***ing ride.
00:03:37.720 And Free Chris, though.
00:03:38.920 Remember we was bouncing out with Fofo.
00:03:41.160 And the f***ing keep it solid in LA, I keep a clip, though.
00:03:44.200 Cause no, I can't be lacking in these streets, I keep a big pole.
00:03:47.320 And I can't have no n*** with me if they gon' snitch on.
00:03:50.280 That chopper, that's that oppa stopper, hit you with your partner.
00:03:53.080 I fell in love with all this f***ing money, you in love with drama.
00:03:56.360 Say, say, baby, I'm not salsa baby, but I keep a line.
00:03:59.360 I'm a pull-up, and I knew I ate you, I didn't hate you.
00:04:02.300 When I listen to these lyrics, and I try to process the message,
00:04:06.300 I can't help but pick up on very heavy Dr. Seuss influences in the rhyme scheme.
00:04:12.880 Who's canceled now, by the way, for being racist.
00:04:15.480 But I think you should get credit for influencing much of modern rap.
00:04:18.640 Like he says in the first verse, I keep a rocket in my pocket, socket called a pocket rocket.
00:04:23.900 Which is very similar to Seuss when he wrote about the walk-it in the pocket.
00:04:28.660 One of my favorite Dr. Seuss books growing up.
00:04:31.260 And really in both cases, you become a little uncomfortable because it sounds vaguely sexual.
00:04:36.440 And then YBN says in the hook, he says, here's what he says.
00:04:39.400 Know that choppa, that's the appa stoppa, hit you and your partners.
00:04:45.420 I fell in love with all this f***ing money.
00:04:47.500 You in love with drama.
00:04:49.240 Say, say, baby, I'm not salsa baby, but I keep a llama.
00:04:52.360 Gonna pull up in a new I-8.
00:04:54.640 You riding in a Honda.
00:04:56.560 And I love that because of the way that he advocates for responsible farming practices.
00:05:02.340 And he says he has a llama.
00:05:03.460 I'm a little worried about there isn't enough room to house a llama on that postage stamp yard there.
00:05:09.340 But I'll assume he's rented out a barn or something like that.
00:05:12.540 Some farmland somewhere.
00:05:14.160 But basically, he has gotten into animal husbandry.
00:05:17.520 And he's advocating for it in this song.
00:05:19.640 That's what I'm picking up on.
00:05:20.960 I could imagine him maybe going and performing this song about raising llamas.
00:05:26.080 Maybe to a 4-H club for kids.
00:05:28.580 Or something like that.
00:05:29.400 So now I'm getting into the song.
00:05:30.980 I'm saving 21.
00:05:32.540 Tasha, baby, mama in the L.I.
00:05:34.420 She a salad.
00:05:35.260 Oh, God.
00:05:35.640 Ratchet b**** suck me while I'm driving.
00:05:37.520 She from Dallas.
00:05:38.340 The mama got some buns on her.
00:05:40.460 I call her Patty.
00:05:41.360 21.
00:05:41.580 My model b**** be smoking all the wood.
00:05:43.660 She from Cali.
00:05:44.420 21.
00:05:44.860 In my Tesla roaster.
00:05:45.960 21.
00:05:46.180 My pistol out the holster.
00:05:47.520 Oh, God.
00:05:47.780 I'm double cupping syrup.
00:05:49.340 I don't need no coaster.
00:05:50.640 Facts.
00:05:51.040 Oaks want promotion.
00:05:52.300 F***.
00:05:52.500 Put him on the poster.
00:05:53.980 F***.
00:05:54.140 Gunting him down in his own hood because he local.
00:05:56.760 F***.
00:05:56.980 I wash 10 bricks.
00:05:58.320 F***.
00:05:58.620 F***.
00:05:59.400 Rolling like Miami.
00:06:00.480 I put it up with 10 sticks.
00:06:02.120 21.
00:06:02.560 F***.
00:06:02.800 Smell my fragrance.
00:06:03.700 You can't tell me I ain't rich.
00:06:05.200 21.
00:06:05.620 Big foe.
00:06:06.400 L ain't shaking no hand with no snitch.
00:06:08.420 There's a few things that I appreciate here as we hear 21 Savage come and deliver his verse,
00:06:13.700 spit his bars.
00:06:14.800 First, I love that 21 Savage really gives the impression of somebody who doesn't want to
00:06:18.260 be in the music video at all.
00:06:19.460 F***.
00:06:20.380 I'm not even supposed to be here today.
00:06:21.880 He seems very put out.
00:06:23.540 Like he doesn't want to be at the party.
00:06:25.500 Everybody else is throwing cash around, you know, really, really doing, doing the appa
00:06:29.180 stopa.
00:06:30.180 21 Savage is off in the corner and when it's his turn to rap, he's kind of like rolling
00:06:35.780 his eyes and saying, fine, okay, I'll spit some bars if you want me to.
00:06:38.320 And he comes with, let's be honest, some pretty lazy material.
00:06:41.480 You could tell that he wasn't ready for this.
00:06:43.900 Like he showed up to the house and they're getting ready for the music video.
00:06:46.660 And he said, oh, is that today?
00:06:48.540 Grabbed a napkin, ran to the kitchen, wrote his verse in about four minutes.
00:06:51.600 And that's how we get lines like this.
00:06:53.480 He says, little mama got some buns on her.
00:06:56.600 I call her Patty.
00:06:58.660 Do you really though?
00:07:00.260 Do you really call her Patty because of her buns?
00:07:02.580 I don't think you do.
00:07:04.180 Maybe 21 Savage can get away with a line like that.
00:07:06.580 I don't think I could.
00:07:08.020 If I was single, no way I could walk up to a woman and say, hey, couldn't help but notice
00:07:14.820 your buns.
00:07:16.560 Say, do you mind if I call you Patty?
00:07:19.120 No, that wouldn't work for me.
00:07:20.260 I would get Cuomo'd on that.
00:07:22.100 Sexual harassment claims, everything.
00:07:24.260 But I'm not 21 Savage, so he can do that.
00:07:26.140 Speaking of which, I also liked how 21 Savage said his name, 21, after every line.
00:07:32.940 So it goes, he says, little mama got some buns on her.
00:07:36.240 I call her Patty, 21.
00:07:38.160 My model be smoking all the woods.
00:07:40.220 She from Cali, 21.
00:07:42.400 Rolling loud Miami.
00:07:43.640 I pull up with 10 sticks, 21.
00:07:46.620 Smell my fragrance.
00:07:47.780 You can tell me I ain't rich, 21.
00:07:49.680 Big 4L, I ain't shaking no hand with no snitch, 21.
00:07:53.440 So it's almost like, it's like memento or something where he has no short-term memory.
00:07:59.180 And so he has to remind himself who he is every two seconds.
00:08:01.980 And that's smart because you don't want to have an existential crisis in the middle of
00:08:04.840 the rap where you forget who you are, where you are, why you are.
00:08:09.820 Only thing I'll say is that, and look, I don't mean to harsh anyone's vibe, okay?
00:08:15.340 I don't mean to harsh any buzzes here.
00:08:17.080 But again, as the white dad in the flannel at the barbecue, marijuana does affect short-term
00:08:24.300 memory.
00:08:25.380 So if you're having trouble remembering things from one moment to the next, you have to remind
00:08:30.280 yourself who you are in the middle of the song, then maybe I would think about not smoking
00:08:35.440 that good s**t quite so often.
00:08:37.660 We'll see you next time.
00:09:07.660 Well, look, at least they, at least they blur out the middle fingers in the end.
00:09:20.240 That literally a whole song about drugs, guns, hoes, but the middle finger at the end is a
00:09:27.080 bridge too far.
00:09:28.100 And I appreciate that.
00:09:29.540 I mean, in the last verse, the guy was talking about drinking and driving while holding a loaded
00:09:35.080 pistol in his hand on his way to murder someone while wearing a watch that he bought with drug
00:09:40.220 money.
00:09:42.260 But you wouldn't want something really inappropriate like a crass hand gesture in your music video.
00:09:47.900 We all have standards.
00:09:49.940 Even YBN and 21 Savage do.
00:09:51.660 And that, I think, is the silver lining.
00:09:54.680 Thank you.
