A$AP Rocky, “Sh*ttin’ Me” | Track Review 🎵

Rapper A$AP Rocky returns with a brief but utterly potent and unapologetic rap banger with “Shittin’ Me.” 

[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”“W” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”]hy they choose my pubes anytime they wanna sit? (Go, go) / Couldn’t ride the wave and now you ridin’ dick (Shittin’ me).” WOO! It has been a while since 🎙 A$AP Rocky ‘hit’ the way he once did.  The rapper had an ultra-successful run but ran into stumbling blocks beginning with his third studio album, 💿 TESTING.  Furthermore, his ‘off-the-court’ antics haven’t helped his career either. Nonetheless, he drops a surefire rap banger with 🎵 “Shittin’ Me” which clocks in at just under two-and-a-half-minutes.  It won’t change your life (even if there’s nothing like a good $hi†), but it reminds listener why Rocky stood out in the first place. [/otw_shortcode_dropcap]  

“Shittin Me” commences with an interesting intro, which last about 13 seconds. It is enigmatic, making you wonder where in the world A$AP Rocky is going with this record.  He drops some of his signature ad-libs as well as production sound effects. The backdrop is fire, once “Shittin’ Me” settles in (🎛 Kelvin Krash). This sets up the record to be a banger. Even when the production settles in, there are some wrinkles that keep things from being predictable, which is a plus.  As you might expect, given the title, the chorus is unapologetic, and pardon my French, filled with shit:  

“Shittin’ me? (Woo, shittin’ me?) 

Gotta be kiddin’ me 

How could you shit on me? 

You ain’t got shit on me (Woo, fuck outta here).” 

A$AP Rocky drops an agile, cocky, and confident flow. He delivers two verses over the brief duration, with no shortage of ear-catching lines (“I put a hole in her guts and now ho go fast asleep / Since she been owin’ me for months and left my message on seen (Is you shittin’ me? What the fuck?)”).  

Final Thoughts 💭 

All told, 🎵 “Shittin’ Me” isn’t shit – sorry, couldn’t resist! It is a worthwhile, banging two-and-a-half minutes. It may not change your life, but baby, will you turn up to this – wait for it – $hi†!
