B

ring on the B-O-P-Z, like #SLAYYY! LGBTQ Bopz 🌈🎶 is a column t that embraces, highlights, and celebrates singles and tracks by LGBTQIA musicians.  On LGBTQ Bopz 🌈🎶we provide background info and insight into the respective musician(s), as well as analyze + go gaga over the bops being served up.  Furthermore, when the music dictates deeper, more transcendent discussion, we ensure the point is articulated to the fullest.  All styles of music are welcome and the BOPZ can be classics or brand-spanking new. So, without further ado, on the X edition of LGBTQ Bopz 🌈🎶 (2021), we highlight 🎵 “Scoop”, performed by 🎙 Lil Nas X.  

“I been workin’ on my body / You ever seen a nigga hit Pilates? (Ah) / … I been movin’ work on the daily / Understand, I’m just tryna be the daily / SCOOP!”  Question: Is there any more fitting way too commence LGBTQ Bopz 🌈🎶 than with a song courtesy of 🎙 Lil Nas X? The answer is a resounding HELL NO, there is no more fitting way to commence with a LNX record.  Pardon my French (or lack thereof) but Lil Nas is the SugarHoneyIcedTea and nothing less – totally the 🎵 “Scoop”! He’s embraced being black and queer, and ‘doesn’t give a what’ what the homophobes have to say about him. “Scoop,” which appears on his debut album, 💿 Montero, has no shortage of hits, all of which could easily grace this bop-infused column.

“Scoop,” notably, features another member of the LGBTQ community, bisexual 🏆 Grammy-nominated sensation, 🎙 Doja Cat.  This surefire banger isn’t deep but it’s fun and has a couple of key happenings.  Nas X wants to be the “scoop” or trending topic, but he also wants to ‘scoop’ sexually:

“And I’m tryna fuck, lil nigga, fuck the chit-chat
I ain’t talkin’ guns when I ask where your dick at.”

Doja cat also plays off both meanings of the scoop, too. She asserts, “I just got my veneers, now bitches wanna rip they face up.” Woo! Of course, unsurprisingly, she thrives most sexually: “He named my right cheek Jennifer and left one Lopez.” My, oh my!

Final Thoughts 💭

Bitmoji ImageAll said and done, Lil Nas X is the “Scoop” – deal with it.  He didn’t need to drop a song confirming the obvious.  There are more personal records on Montero, of course, but “Scoop” ranks among the most fun.  Worth noting, it interpolates the 🎙 Post Malone record, 🎵 “Spoil My Night” featuring 🎙 Swae Lee.
