Gunna, GOT DAMN | Song Review 🎵

Backed by a smooth, hypnotic instrumental, Grammy-nominated rapper Gunna delivers a confident, enjoyable banger with “GOT DAMN.”  

“On and off the jet, goddamn / Uh, I don’t get no rest, goddamn / I want my respect, goddamn / I been running up a check, yeah.” Woo! What do you do when you want to say a ‘double-jointed’ swear word but don’t want to offend Christians? You say, ‘got damn’ instead of goddamn. Gunna ‘censors’ his swear on the title of his December 2024 single, “GOT DAMN”.  Even so, he lets the ‘god damns’ fly in the chorus, censors be damned! Aviator Keyyz, Bloublood, Timpani Beatz, and J Kari produced “GOT DAMN” giving the melodic Atlanta rapper a smooth backdrop to drop his bars on. The vibe is L-I-T!

With a sweet instrumental supporting him, Gunna showcases ample personality.  He is true to self – Wunna to the nth degree.  That said, he doesn’t say anything earth-shattering or game-changing.  “Fashion every day put her in Couture,” he spits in the first verse, continuing, “Uh, put in work, make that pussy purr.” Meow… Been there, done that.  “Goddamn, a nigga fortunate / Every day locked in, I make M’s off my voice,” he brags in the second verse, adding, “Brought out fifty G’s just to spend on my lil shawty.” Yeah, the rhymes aren’t deep – shallow, shallow, shallow.  Of course, is a track named “GOT DAMN” expected to be a highly intellectual trap joint? No, and it’s not.  Ultimately, “GOT DAMN” is an enjoyable listen.  The sound and smooth flow by Gunna are hypnotic.
