“Pop up out that cut, fuck it, drop your nuts / He was smokin’ – okay, he got touched / Draw down on your man, boy, you better not clutch / Every time they shit get spinned, they blamin’ us.” WOO 😮‍💨! “Dangerous” appears as the eighth track on American dream, the no. 1 album by Grammy-winning rapper, 21 Savage. This four-and-a-half minute banger isn’t solely attributed to 21 – Lil Durk and Metro Boomin grace the track too. Metro Boomin provides the banging production alongside BoogzDaBeast and Cashmere Brown. Notably, “dangerous” samples “To Yasmina” by Bernard Lubat and His Mad Ducks. The warm sample, coupled with a knocking beat, yields a marvelous instrumental for 21 and Durk to rap upon.

The chorus, excerpted above, and performed by 21 Savage, marks one of the best moments of “Dangerous,” hands down. But first things first – the first verse by 21.  His flow is electrifying, with his bars cutting like a knife (“Oh, you wanna speak on CJ? / I’ma come knock your bros off, Run around like you steppin’ on shit, fuck it, we just gon’ cut his toes off”). Lil Durk follows, with a mean, unpitched rapped second verse – no melody to be found! He keeps it real, opening his verse with a bang: “I’ma speak to my brother killer (Facts) / They gettin’ killed for another nigga (Facts).” Post-Lil Durk, 21 delivers another impressive verse where he’s unapologetic as ever: “We turn bullies into ashes, knock a nigga out like Cassius.” If there was any doubt, 21 Savage, Lil Durk, and Metro Boomin are “Dangerous” 💯.
