“But I know he a sissified lookin’ nigga that put fingernail polish on his motherfuckin’ nails, and wear dresses.” Holy shee-it, 🎙 Charleston White 😬 😬 😬! Bring on the braggadocio, drip, sex, and kicka$$ery, WOO! You’ve entered Rap BNGRZ 🔥 territory! On Rap BNGRZ 🔥 (bangers being the proper spelling), the premise is simple. Rap BNGRZ provides background info and commentary on cocky, confident, ferocious hip-hop/rap songs. The bangers can be brand-spanking-new or certified classics. In the 24th edition of Rap BNGRZ 🔥 (2023), we break down the banger status of 🎵 “Suicide Doors” performed by 🎙 Lil Uzi Vert.

Lil Uzi Vert, Pink Tape [📷: Generation Now / Atlantic]Clearly, 🎙 Charleston White kicks off 🎵 “Suicide Doors”, a highlight from the 🎙 Lil Uzi Vert’s 2023 album, 💿 Pink Tape, with a bang. Lil Uzi Vert uses the criticism (and homophobia if we’re being totally honest) as fuel for his fire. What’s interesting is, on this undeniable rap banger from the 🏆 Grammy-nominated rapper, following White’s problematic characterization of the nonbinary musician, 🎛 Arca, a producer on the track, who is also nonbinary and trans, says, “Thank you, Lil Uzi Vert.” All of this occurs in the intro before Uzi Vert utters one bar.  Following both sampled musician’s commentary, Uzi Vert goes bold and unapologetic, making it crystal clear:

“Fuck you, and fuck your bitch

I don’t give a fuck about none of y’all niggas

Y’all niggas tried to ban me from this shit, but I came back

I do what I want, I do anything I please.”

Woo! The intro truly sets up “Suicide Doors” as one hell of a rap banger.  Besides production from Arca, 🎛 Brandon Finessin, legn, and yugen produce too.  Naturally, the backdrop bangs, going H.A.M.  Following the intro, Uzi Vert brings the heat with the chorus, which channels the 1994 movie, 🎦 The Crow (“I feel like, bitch, I’m the Crow”).  From there, we get into some cocky, confident, supercharged rhymes by Uzi Vert over the course of two verses.  A prime example of Uzi Vert not giving a fizzuck:  “She looked at me in my eyes, said, ‘Be the old you’ (Bitch) / Suck my dick, you dumbass bitch, she said, ‘You so rude’ (Bitch).” fire sunglassesHe also goes on to say things like “I don’t like a natural bitch, yeah, I like fake butts,” “Six-six-six, satanist, that’s why they hate us,” and “Fucked two Spanish bitches next to each other, they congruent.” Holy moly! So, where do these suicide doors come into play? That’s the second verse where the self-described rockstar spits, “Suicide doors (Suicide doors) / Suicide whores tryna fuck me for the fame.” If nothing else, 🎵 “Suicide Doors” is nothing short of a vibe.  White’s criticism, which returns on the outro, only fuels Uzi Vert’s fire something fierce.
