IDK & Offset, "SHOOT MY SHOT" [๐Ÿ“ท: Clue No Clue / Warner]Rappers IDK and Offset bring some serious F-I-R-E on their certified B-A-N-G-E-R, โ€œShoot My Shot.โ€

โ€œWhen I used to shoot my shot, you a Matrix / Now you reappear, but I hate tricks.โ€ Woo, now thatโ€™s some F-I-R-E right there ๐ŸŽ™ IDK! The rapper collaborates with one of the ๐ŸŽ™ Migos โ€“ ๐ŸŽ™ Offset โ€“ for a surefire banger, ๐ŸŽต โ€œShoot My Shotโ€.ย  While thereโ€™s nothing transcendent that comes from the single, it is definitely a confident, entertaining, and well-assembled joint.

โ€œAss like a horse, but her face like she wholesome,โ€ IDK asserts on the first verse, continuing, โ€œUh, Whole Foods shoppinโ€™.โ€ From the start, heโ€™s totally โ€˜ONโ€™ if you catch my drift โ€“ locked TF in.ย  His flow is formidable, and he truly comes up with some clever rhymes. He speaks about how badass she is, characterizing her as his type, and quoting fellow rappers:

โ€œLike Biggie, if the head right, Iโ€™m there all night
Like Yeezy, when I see it, Iโ€™ma hit it on sight
Like Kendrick Lamar, we gonโ€™ be al-.โ€

Later, IDK spoils us with a third verse, in addition to his awesome, totally cocky and confident chorus. Offset gets into the action of course, getting quite drippy with references to Gucci, Dior, and of course that Patek, sigh.ย  Still, he also references S-E-X, and also manages to cite a scene from ๐ŸŽฆ Whatโ€™s Love Got to Do with It (โ€œEat the plate like Anna Mae, do it if she take the baitโ€). Woo! In addition to strong bars, the production (๐ŸŽ› T-Minus) is on-point as well, as is the expectation for a trap banger.


Final Thoughts ๐Ÿ’ญ

To reiterate, โ€œShoot My Shotโ€ is a surefire B-A-N-G-E-R โ€“ BANGER BABY! No, none of the rhymes either IDK or Offset rap will change your life but theyโ€™ll certainly โ€˜give you lifeโ€™ musically. Definitely worth adding to your listening rotation!
