Ice Spice, Phat Butt | Song Review 🎵

Ascending, Grammy-nominated rapper Ice Spice unveils “Phat Butt,” the third single from her debut studio album, Y2K!.

“Hatin’ bitches be angry, hatin’ bitches, they ain’t me.” Does Grammy-nominated rapper Ice Spice ever mince words? No, at least, her music to this point suggests she doesn’t. Unapologetic and Isis Gaston are synonymous. “Phat Butt” marks the third single from the rapper’s debut album, Y2K! (arrives July 26, 2024). The ASSet-heavy single follows the poopy “Think U The Shit (Fart)” and the reggae-infused “Gimmie a Light”. “Butt,” which features a badass, banging beat, is produced by go-to collaborator, RIOTUSA (“Stop playin’ with ‘em Riot)”).

Like many Ice Spice songs, the duration is brief.  “Phat Butt” runs for two minutes and ¢hange. That is sufficient, allowing her to let the bitches, fucks, and shits fly.  Fierce, her flow is sick. Also, her confidence (and cockiness) are through the roof.  “How the fuck I’m still chewin’ bitches in gray shorts and a plain tee?” she asks, adding, “Rap a bitch on a pop chart, toastin’ bitches like Pop-Tarts.” I told you she says the word bitch a lot.  Of course, she references her butt: “Fat butt with a back tat, and I been bad like Mike Jack.” *Hee-hee! In the second verse, she drops a Pauly D / Jersey Shore reference, brags about money, rich sex, and of course, her ass: “Fat butt, pully my pants up, shakin’ ass, got my bands up.” Ice Spice doesn’t rap about anything brand-new or notable on “Phat Butt”  but it’s (1) entertaining and (2) a vibe. She’s got the ASSets as an ascending star…
