Question – are you ready for a playlist that’s totally full of shit poo?

1. The Carters, “APESHIT”

Everything is Love • Roc Nation / Sony • 2018

Question: “Have you ever seen the crowd goin’ ape-shit?” Rap banger “APESHIT” served as the single from the collaborative Jay-Z and Beyoncé project (as The Carters), Everything is Love. Notably, Everything is Love won the Grammy for ‘Best Urban Contemporary Album’ at the 61^st Annual Grammy Awards, which were held February 2019.

Beyoncé shines on the first verse with confident pop-raps, assisted by ad-libs by Quavo.  Chocked-full of gimmickry, it’s a fitting approach against the adventurous production by Pharrell Williams. Arguably, Bey may be even more electric on the third verse where there’s no shortage of assuredness and swagger. Jay-Z arrives on the second verse, fiery, dissing the Super Bowl, The NFL, and the Grammys (“Tell the Grammy’s fuck that 0 for 8 shit”). If nothing else, “APESHIT” is a memorable turn-up, not to mention one of two songs on this list that features the word shit in the song title…

2.Sofi Tukker, “Batshit”

Treehouse • Ultra • 2018

From the get-go, the Sofi Tukker hit “Batshit” is chocked-full of fun.  It’s danceable, infectious, and undoubtedly irresistible. Is it “batshit crazy?” A little bit.  Notably, Tucker Halpern has a much more substantial vocal role compared to other songs from the duo.  Sophie Hawley-Weld also gets in on the action, with arguably the most important part of the song – drum roll please – the titular lyric! Yes, Hawley-Weld holds “batshit” down like a champ, while Halpern follows-up with “I’m batshit crazy.”  Notably, “Batshit” incorporates an interpolation of the narcissistic classic, “I’m Too Sexy”.

3. Jay Rock, “Shit Real”

Redemption • Top Dawg / Interscope • 2018

Grammy-winning West Coast rapper Jay Rock enlisted Detroit rapper Tee Grizzley for a tough, ‘trill’ new addendum to his 2018 LP Redemption. That addendum is the colorfully-titled single, “Shit Real”. “Shit Real” is respectable enough, without being, say, the ‘second coming.’ Both Jay Rock and Tee Grizzley bring plenty of toughness on their respective verses, even if both lack profundity or transcendence.

Jay makes it clear that he doesn’t play around beginning with the initial lines of the first verse.

“Eastside, BH dub, you know about us
Get shot, or get robbed, we get dollaz
Brick of blow, flip an O, hardly sniff it though
Two for five on a Friday, give and go.”

Likewise, Tee Grizzey keeps it real as well on the second verse.

“Money on the counter, chops on the floor
Besides the holy spirit, I ain’t worried ‘bout a soul
These n*ggas got a lot of mouth, ain’t got no money though
And tell these n*ggas we can beef but don’t get bloody though.”

Serving as ‘fuel for their fire’ is a groovy, well-rounded backdrop, courtesy of DJ Swish. “Shit Real” definitely isn’t ‘shit’ (see what we did there), even if it lacks some ‘wow factor’ that encourages you to spin it beyond the initial listen. Still, Jay and Tee keep that “Shit Real.”

4. Nine Inch Nails, “Shit Mirror”

Bad Witch • The Null Corporation • 2018

“Hey look what’s staring back at you / Caught reflecting in your eyes / I’m becoming something new / It’s getting hard to recognize.” In 2018, Nine Inch Nails returned with a brand-new, 30-minute album, Bad Witch.  The opening song features a colorful title, reflective of the aforementioned lyrics, “Shit Mirror.” Vocally, through the majority of the record, Trent Reznor’s vocals are incredibly distorted, as he goes through his ‘mutation,’ or something along those lines.  The music itself is incredibly energetic, gritty, and raw.

Oddly, the music cuts out completely at one point to near silence, before eventually returning in full-fledged, noisy fashion.

“New world
New times
Mutation
Feels all right.”

5. Key Glock, “Talk My Shit”

Glockoma • Paper Route Empire • 2018

“Hold up, real quick, let me talk my shit / They like who the fuck is this with this ice-ass wrist (Glock).” Hmm, not sure how ice, ass, or wrist really works together in the big scheme of things, but whatever. What is clear is that rapper Key Glock ‘talks his shit’ on his totally appropriately-titled song, “Talk My Shit,” which appears on his 2018 mixtape, Glockoma. Note: if you are a stickler for spelling, you know that the album title SHOULD be spelled glaucoma, sigh.  Staying focused on the shit that Key Glock talks, rather raps about, basically, he’s flexing hard because “this young nigga lit.” It should also be noted that Key Glock doesn’t spend too much time talking his shit – merely 2:20.

6.The-Dream, “Drop Some New Shit”

Ménage à Trois: Sextape Vol. 1, 2, 3 • Radiokilla / HITCO • 2018

“In a car, ride by, n*gga playin’ my old shit / Bitch, you like, ‘You need to make somethin’ new right now / And I know this / ‘Stop holding out,’ they said, ‘You need to stop holding out.’ Okay… Anyways, The-Dream (Terius Nash) is no stranger to songs that embrace the s-bomb, among other profane words. On his triple mixtape, Ménage à Trois: Sextape Vol. 1, 2, 3, The-Dream decides to “Drop Some New Shit” on the third disc (Vol. 3) of the two-and-a-half-hour-long project.  That’s a bit late to be dropping something brand-new, but whatever.

Anyways, in line with the sexual vibe of Ménage à Trois: Sextape Vol. 1, 2, 3, The-Dream remains explicit and sexed-up to the nth degree on “Drop Some New Shit.”  The record is totally unhurried, clocking in at four-and-a-half-minutes in length.  The sound of the record itself oozes with sex, while the lyrics confirm such.

“Oh, she said, ‘When you gon’ play that shit for me?’
Oh, ‘Boy, you ain’t been yourself lately
I remember when we both were so free
That was back then when you used to fuck me
Boy, your shit used to go so hard
Then we would go hard
Then you stop fuckin’ with me,’
She said, ‘That's when you used to love me.’”

7. Trippie Redd, “Bird Shit”

LIFE’S A TRIP • TenThousand Projects, LLC • 2018

“Leave that bullshit to the birds / Drippin’, drippin’, ha!” Well… Trippie Redd is one of a kind – understatement.  Unsurprisingly, “Bird Shit,” which appears on his 2018 LP, Life’s a Trip, is indeed ‘a trip.’  Naturally, the idiosyncratic rapper highlights ‘shit,’ bullshit, and birds throughout the course of this colorful, s-bomb filled affair.

A prime example is the ‘refrain’ section that occurs after the intro and prior to the first verse.

“All that bullshit for the birds, ay
You ain’t sayin’ nothing but a word, ay
Shitty n*ggas, you some turds, ay
Hating on a boy ‘cause I’m in first place.”

Beyond the refrain, Trippie Redd flexes like a boss and asserts, “N*gga cannot stress me / ‘Cause I’m getting’ money with the fucking gang.” Similarly, on the second verse, he spits, “Because I said I ball n*gga like Vince Carter / Slaughter your daughter, bitch, I go harder, like Mr. Carter.” If that didn’t confirm the flex, the chorus does, with its references to VVS, money, and girls. He caps off the chorus with the line, “Let the birds talk, pussy n*gga let the birds walk.”

8. Quavo, “Keep That Shit”

Ft. Takeoff

QUAVO HUNCHO • Quality Control Music / Capitol / Motown • 2018

“Keep that shit (keep that shit), keep that shit over there…” Yep, that’s about the size of it.  It’s amazing on a playlist like this how often you can make jokes about ‘shit’ … just saying.  “Keep That Shit,” the 10^th song from rapper Quavo’s debut album, QUAVO HUNCHO, is literally full of it. In the context of the album, this s-bomb loving joint keeps the track list moving.  Naturally, the chorus (aforementioned), features the word a countless number of times – yeah, it’s totally ‘full of shit.’  Told you, the jokes and puns just sort of happen naturally, sigh. Quavo enlists fellow Migos member, Takeoff, to raps on the second verse.  Basically, this joint is a lot of flex.

9. Marteen, “This Shit Sux”

8 • New Mogul / EMPIRE • 2019

“Aye / I guess that he meant more than me…” Sigh, matters of the heart have rising teenage R&B singer/songwriter Marteen all messed up.  Love’ll do that shit. The up-and-coming Berkley-born standout ‘keeps it 100’ when it comes to being heartbroken on the short, sweet, and pained single, “This Shit Sux”. The production is lush and smooth, idiomatic of urban contemporary music.  The backdrop is perfect fuel for Marteen to reminisce back on love, the hardships of love, and his present disgust.

Following the short first verse (excerpted above), he drops the reminiscent pre-chorus on the listeners:

“I know we had our off days
I thought that we were always
Remember you would say you were gonna change
But it was hard to fake.”

Expectedly, he drops the ‘s-bomb’ on the memorable chorus.  Sure, there’s not much deep about a line like “This shit sucks” or even its supporting lines, but Marteen perfectly paints the state of his mind and heart.  Furthermore, everyone can relate to the profane, ‘poopy’ titular lyric.  All in all, Marteen drops a respectable, well-executed heartbreak record.  He doesn’t reinvent pain, specifically the struggle of love, but he totally sells the plight he’s experiencing.  Vocally, his youthful pipes are refreshing, and the production work provides him with a lift.  Safe to say, nothing “sux” about this record in the least, or the talented Marteen himself.

10. Blackbear, “Playboy Shit”

Ft. Lil Aaron

Cybersex • Interscope • 2017

“Woke up rich, real bad bitch / Playboy shit, that’s some playboy shit / I’ve been going in, shout out to my wrist / Playboy shit, that’s some playboy shit.” True, or so the hip-hop artists assert. Matthew Musto, better known as blackbear, had a big year in 2017.  His biggest claim to fame was his hit single, “do re mi” (digital druglord), but he also dropped a joint project with his bud, Mike Posner (Mansionz) as well as a mixtape, cybersex. One of the highlights from cybersex is “Playboy Shit”, featuring Lil Aaron.

“Playboy Shit” is a total flex-fest. Albeit cliché, the record celebrates ‘the come up,’ perceptible from the exuberant sound, and carefree, confident hook. Nothing profound is accomplished here, but hey, it’s enjoyable AF.  Ultimately, “Playboy Shit” checks off the boxes of a blackbear song: profane, well-produced, and features a catchy chorus.  That is indeed some ‘blackbear shit’ if you catch my drift.

11. Lil Peep, “Save that Shit”

Come Over When You’re Sober Pt. 1 • Lil Peep • 2017

“Growing sick of this and I don’t wanna make you sad / Do I make you scared? Baby won’t you take me back?” On “Save That Shit,” which appears on Lil Peep’s debut album, Come Over When You’re Sober Pt. 1, Lil Peep seems sad to say the least. On “Save That Shit” he wants his ex-girlfriend to take him back. Apparently, she’s leery of him, judging by numerous lines, including the aforementioned excerpt. In regards to form, “Save That Shit” is a bit odd.  What is clear is that there’s a hook, repeated three times.  Otherwise, there’s a brief bridge and a pseudo-verse.

12. Father John Misty, “Holy Shit”

I Love You, Honeybear • Sub Pop • 2015

“Age-old general roles / infotainment, capital / Golden bows, and mercury / Bohemian nightmare, dust bowl chic…” Say what? Despite the fact that “Holy Shit” (I Love You, Honeybear) is an attention-getter, Father John Misty (Josh Tillman) never mentions the popular exclamatory phrase once within the lyrics. Rather, the title “Holy Shit” is a description of an overall collection of overwhelming emotions and situations, many of which are far beyond the musician’s control. The song embodies the phrase rather than saying it.

Don’t get it twisted though – “Holy Shit” is brutal honesty. A perfect lyrical example:

“Ancient holy wars
Dead religious
Holocausts
New regimes, old ideas…
Eunuch sluts
Consumer slaves
A rose by any other name
Carbon footprint
Incest dreams
Fuck the mother in the green…”

A heady song, despite referencing random situations and things, like most Father John Misty songs, it’s nothing short of brilliant. Yeah, it’s a lot to take in, but will definitely incite a “holy shit!” reaction.

13. August Alsina, “I Luv This Shit”

featuring Trinidad James

Testimony • Def Jam • 2014

Arguably, “I Luv This Shit” is the song that put R&B singer August Alsina on the map.  Alsina is assisted by rapper Trinidad James on the gem, reprised on his excellent debut album, Testimony, from his debut EP.  Like the majority of his  brutally honest debut album, Alsina continues to be foul-mouthed, delivering nothing short of ‘real talk.’

The tempo is slow, but there’s nothing the least bit boring or blasé about “I Luv This Shit.” The horn-accentuated production is absolutely scrumptious ‘ear candy’ to say the least.  Even the explicit chorus is totally irresistible, with its references to smoking, sex, and grinding hard.

“God dammit I love it, I love it…
So I’mma keep on smoking cause I love this shit
I’mma keep on grinding cause I love this shit
She tell me keep fucking cause I love this shit and I love it…”

Yeah August, we totally “Luv This Shit!”
