round with main pod girls a j marks next up is a much more exciting song from a more exciting

female rapper in my opinion this is pink pantherists and ice spices boys a liar boysalier part two boysalier that's how i always say it in my opinion. This is Pink Panthers and Ice Spices. Boys a liar, Boysalier, Part 2. That's how I always say it in my head. Well, you have to because that's how they say it. But I don't sleep enough without you and I can't eat enough without you. If you don't speak, does that mean we're through. Don't like sneaky shit that you do. The boys are layer. The epic team up by two of like the busiest Gen Z artists right now.

I have to tell you, AJ, I went out in Brooklyn on Saturday with a bunch of gays to a metropolitan and a bunch of other places.

They played, I'm telling you, six Ice Spice songs. I mean, Ice Spice is having a huge fucking moment. I mean, it was literally, like, they were playing as much Ice Spice as they were playing like Beyonce and Rihanna. It was crazy. Like, and the crowd was going crazy for all of them they played munch they played like songs i had never

heard before they played this song i mean she is like fucking having like she seemed poised to be having

like a gigantic moment i mean this song debuted at number 14 on the hot 100 and then went to number

four the next week i mean this record is gigantic yeah what do you think about this what do you

think of ice ice and what do you think of the song first of all i, I want to say about the club thing. I have actually, I feel like every gay club, the newest song they play is like, bang by Jesse Jay. Like, I really want to go to the gay clubs that are like, you know, actually playing current music. That'd be great. Come to New York. I will.

But this song, I, at first I was just like, hmm, I was like, it more just perplexed me that it was so popular. But this song is just so easy to catch on. Like, my mom loves this song. You know what I mean? And I know that it's not hyper pop. I know that it's garage. but it it's benefiting from hyperpop, in my opinion. Like, it's benefiting from the popularity of it. And I just think it's like, someone called it the Gen Z telephone on Twitter. And I said to my friends and I was like, is this true? And then I went number three and I was like, oh, I guess it's true. I guess so. Literally. Yeah, no, it's like absolutely insane. I'm so excited to see, like, I'm not even necessarily huge on Ice Spice. Like, I'm not like playing her on rotation or anything, but I'm just really excited about her. It gives me like Lil Nas X vibes, you know, like at first, like I don't really like Old Town Road. So I wasn't like hyped on Lil Nasex's music. Like I don't give a fuck about Panini, right? Like I don't like that song. But like, but I knew that I liked him. And then he ended up giving us like this fucking awesome record. So I'm like really hoping the same thing happens with Ice Spice where she just has all the potential. She's only been rapping for like a year and a half. And then Pink Panthers has only been releasing songs for like a year and a half, two years. So it's like they're super, super new. And that's just like the exciting part about it is that they're so new and they get to make a surprise smash. And I'm excited. I love the Little Naz comparison. Although I think Ice Space is a much more like interesting and singular presence on record than Little Naus is. Like Little Naus is still, I think, like figuring out what he is as a musical artist, but he's like a fascinating cultural figure. You know, the joys of Ice Space and what makes this record so interesting to me is that it's been listening to her sort of like nonchalant, really distinctive voice over these like really aggressive drill beats. And so this song is really fun to me because it sort of pairs her with a light and airy sound. Like it's her light and airiness like reflected back to her through production as opposed to kind of like her in a contrasting situation. But I completely think you're underselling the hyperpop part of this. I mean, the entire time I was thinking like, this weirdly could like work on like number one angel or Charlie. And it kind of reminds me of boys a little bit, actually, like the vibe of it.

Yes. It gives me a little bit of that vibe. So I definitely think this is benefiting from

the groundwork that artists like Charlie have done sort of like popifying hyperpop

essentially and like mainstreaming hyperpop like she's definitely building on that in this

record and I don't know I find Ice Space to be absolutely charming and I'm like obsessed with her I love

the fact that like this weird thing where it's like she's so intriguing for her sort of like laid back
