City Girls, I Need A Thug [📷: Quality Control Music / Motown]City Girls – Yung Miami and JT – need a thug, who they characterize explicitly and vividly on their brief single, “I Need A Thug.”

“Ineed a long dick nigga / Seven figures, bitch, and some / This a rich, young, pretty bitch anthem.” Um, okay, 🎙 Yung Miami – thanks for your brutal honesty. So, just keeping up with the pre-chorus of the brief  🎙 City Girls single, 🎵 “I Need A Thug”, we know (1) size matters 📏 🍆,  (2) he must be black, (3) must make at least a milli 💰, and (4) this song is for rich, young, pretty bitches.  So, with that information, along with the straight to the point title, “I Need A Thug” reveals its cards and those cards aren’t particularly profound. 

City Girls, I Need A Thug [📷: Quality Control Music / Motown]The chorus by Yung Miami is more of the same, as she touts the finer things in life, PERIOD.  How high maintenance is Miami? “Cut a check before I even give a hug.” 🎙 JT gets into the act on the first verse, echoing the sentiments of Yung Miami.  Some gems dropped: “It turn me on when he high and fly as fuck” and “His dick long (dick long) / Give a bitch somethin’ to sit on.” NSFW, City Girls! Yung Miami drops a verse too, referencing rapper Pooh Shiesty, asserting, “Never tuck his chain but he always got a pole tucked,” and the fact that “This pussy bustin’ like a pistol, shit be whoopin’ ass (Period).” FIERCE! All told, “I Need A Thug” is two minutes of unapologetic spitting from City Girls. Is it innovative? Nope.  Is it incredibly memorable? Also, a no.  City Girls have dropped more notable songs than 🎵 “I Need A Thug” which is more ‘rinse and repeat’ than fresh and truly exciting.
