Composition

The song has been described as a "dirty-south banger with hyper-distorted, deadpanned vocals reminiscent of Marilyn Manson." [1] It opens with an intro from rapper Juicy J and contains distorted bass and "ominous" bells within the beat, with depression and horror-themed lyrics that additionally detail the duo's indulgences in wealth. [2]

Critical reception

Devin Ch of HotNewHipHop wrote "The message on 'Carrollton' is a part of a well-aimed contingency to connect with Society's outliers. I should preface that 'connect' is a term imbued with irony. The only thing idiomatic about lyrics like 'slap my face against a pill to crush it up' is the non-compliance act you the listener wrote into the script." [3]
