[3] For a Vibe editor, it takes influence from Meek Mill's "Dreams and Nightmares" in the "gradual lead in, slowly leading up to a sick bass drop and rapid fire flow about taking over the rap industry." [4]

Critical reception

Jem Aswad of Variety called the song an "empowering opening autobiographical testimonial," and noted it also made room for "clever, piercingly funny lyrics." [5] Andreas Hale in Billboard said, "from the haunting piano opening to the aggressive manner that the song builds momentum, this is the way you welcome listeners to your world and show them that you mean business." [6] Eleanor Halls of GQ considered it the best song on the album. [7] For Kathy Iandoli of XXL , in the "dynamic" intro "Cardi barks with ferocity [...] she leaves the listener with only the ability to focus on her music—gossip blog clickbait to the side." [8]
