Composition

The song incorporates elements of "8-bit vaporwave". [2] Playboi Carti adopts a vocal delivery that has been considered similar to that of Young Thug's early career, and honors Lil Wayne in his lyrics [3] [4] while also rapping about sex and drug use. [4]

Critical reception

Billboard placed the song at number 21 in their ranking of the songs from Music. [5] Reviewing Music for Pitchfork , Alphonse Pierre wrote "Carti's restlessness is the engine of the album, a reflection of his boredom, attention span, and unbridled imagination in equal measure. That chaos is hollow when he's hastily following the blueprint of popular prestige rap albums, thrilling when it's used to capture the feeling of the music in his bloodstream. For example, he's having a shit-talking ball on the Rich Kidz homage 'Like Weezy.'" [6]

Remixes

The song has been remixed by rappers DC the Don [7] and Lil Novi (Lil Wayne's son). [8]
