The Mixed Reviews Of Meg Thee Stallion’s “BOA”

Is “BOA” overrated or am i just a hottie? Megan Thee Stallion remains the topic of conversation as fans and critics judge her every move and release and it has me wondering why people won’t let my girl have fun??? 

For the hip hop fans looking for potent bars meg gave us a warning shot with “cobra” late last year ushering us into a new era and at the top of 2024 emptied the clip with “hiss” but i’m seeing a lot of negative discourse on her most recent single “BOA”. 

The Gwen Stefani sampled kiss off is signature, unbothered meg flexing on a high octane, Liljumadedabeat beat and it personally hasn’t left my rotation since it came out last week. between “BOA” and the Glorilla collab “Wanna Be” Meg is giving the girls and gays songs to utilize their Megan knees to. iIlove hearing the H-Town hottie talk her shit and the chaotic video game inspired music video definitely matches the energy of the song but only time will tell if meg will dominate this hot girl summer. 

Are you tuned into to “BOA” and “Wanna Be”? let’s discuss these latest releases in the comments! 

Do You Want To Play A Game? Megan Thee Stallion Drops "BOA" Off New Album

Megan Thee Stallion continues to flourish as an independent artist and I find myself picking up my jaw off the floor whenever she drops something in this venomously triumphant era. “BOA” is Thee Stallion’s latest single and it instantly got added to my heavy rotation from the first play. This song is pure fun as Meg collects her opps and haters with her undeniable cadence and word play. Longtime collaborator/producer LilJuMadeDaBeat gives Meg an eargasmic, heavy hitting sonic playground to flex her audacious bars and the chaotic blend of rap and dance pop makes me nostalgic for the SUGA era when the duo were racking up plaques while everyone was quarantined making dances on tiktok.

As the hottie raps “These bitches only hot on Tiktok,” on the interpolated Gwen Stefani hook (“What You Waiting For?” which remains a masterpiece that the new pop girls should’ve been had on their moodboards) I physically have to restrain from screeching MOTHER from the top of my lungs because Megan’s stylistic choices and references are always on point. Meg’s love for anime, horror and gaming can be seen in her insane music video for “BOA” and like the previous visuals from this era (“HISS”, “Cobra”) the Houston superstar is sparing no expense to make sure her vision is executed perfectly.

I caught the Stay Alive reference at the start of the video as we’re introduced to three Hottieville, USA residents playing The Curse Of The Serpent Woman. As the plot plays out, these gamers are at risk of losing their lives if they lose and it’s highly entertaining watching Meg KO these stoned souls in rounds of Mortal Kombat, Snake and Street Fighter. I can’t forget to mention the reference to One Piece in the title of “BOA” and Megan getting into character as “Pirate Empress” Boa Hancock, aka the “Snake Princess” the alluring captain of the Kuja Pirates. The Hotties are being fed well with “HISS” still garnering fanfare and a summer tour, I love to see Megan thriving and “BOA” feels like a warm up to a strong third album.

Flo Milli Announces New Album ‘Fine Ho, Stay’

Flo Milli captured the hearts and ears of millions with her debut mixtape Ho, why is you here? In 2020 showcasing her lethal pen, witty bars and unconfined brilliance. Last year the rightfully “Conceited” rapper released her debut album You Still Here, Ho? solidifying her place in the new golden era of female rap and with no days off Flo is continuing to keep her foot on our necks with the announcement of her sophomore album Fine Ho, Stay. Alongside the announcement Flo dropped the bass-heavy “Fruit Loops” a satisfying, playful bop laden with more than enough bars to remind you that Flo should always be a topic in the mainstream rap conversation. 

“Phuck It” Needs To Be Coi Leray’s Next Single

Coi Leray recently dropped her second album COI to mixed reviews but one song easily sits on top of her bop pyramid. “Phuck It” is a nasty, icy, Daft Punk inspired ear worm that’s begging to go viral (no p power). Coi’s presence on the track is dripping in confidence but the chorus is what keeps the track on repeat. Interpolating “Technologic”, an autotuned robotic voice commands you to “Fuck it / feel it / zip / unzip it.” No foreplay needed.
