Lil Pump, "I'm Back" [📷: Lil Pump]“Gucci Gang” rapper Lil Pump asserts his return on “I’m Back,” a brief, utterly forgettable, substance-less rap single. 

Lil Pump, "I'm Back" [📷: Lil Pump]“I’m back (Ooh), my whip got a whole lot of straps (Whoa, yeah, yeah).” Ok… Unfortunately, if you hoped we’d left 🎙 Lil Pump behind in the 2010s, well, he’s back! That’s right, Mr. 🎵 “Gucci Gang” dropped 🎵 “I’m Back” on August 24, 2022.  The results are… a HOT MESS!

Think of “I’m Back” as a prime example of saying nothing substantial on the track.  Lil Pump is confident – more like cocky – but he really doesn’t bring the heat.  He does show he’s a bad person, but any one who’s followed him over the years knows and understands this:

“If the beat is whack, the producer gets smacked up

If I wake up and there’s no drugs, then I’m throwin’ a tantrum.”

TRASH! He also brags about his foreigns, “Gettin’ [his] dick sucked on the freeway” (reckless), and being “The same nigga got your daughter on Xanax.” Essentially, this is the playbook a younger Pump used years ago. He’s now 22, but does he feel like he’s matured? Absolutely not!


Final Thoughts 💭

1 score“I’m Back” is a waste of time, all told.  There’s nothing distinct about what he serves up.  He’s always been a bad boy, and on “I’m Back,” it’s no different.  Still, there’s no substance other than his continual promotion of drugs.  Other rappers drop the same shee-it but outpace Lil Pump.
