Megan Thee Stallion, Out Alpha The Alpha | Track Review

Megan Thee Stallion (as Gloria Masters) shows the men who’s boss on “Out Alpha The Alpha,” a highlight from the Dicks: The Musical soundtrack. 

“These men are fuckin’ dinosaurs about to be destroyed / And I’m the asteroid.” WOO! Megan Thee Stallion thrives on attitude and being unapologetic. On “Out Alpha The Alpha”, Megan brings the heat, putting these men in their place.  Yup, she’s one bad bi-otch!  Notably, “Out Alpha The Alpha” graces the soundtrack for the film, Dicks: The Musical, where Thee Stallion plays Gloria Masters.

“Out Alpha The Alpha” features interesting production work ( Marius de Vries). It has that musical vibe, hence, not being the typical backdrop associated with the rapper (horns, sung background vocals). Megan gives a fun, tongue-in-cheek performance. The playful, unapologetic lyrics that she raps represent the spirit of her character and the film. The ‘chorus’ is catchy, with several variations. At one point, Thee Stallion asserts, with the help of the chorus of the musical:

“(Out-alpha the alpha) Out-alpha the alpha

(Outfox the fox) Outfox the fox

(Outsmart all these dummies) Outsmart all the dummies

(Out-fuck all these cocks) Out-fuck all these cocks.”

It’s worth noting, the second verse of “Out Alpha” is a truer to Megan, with faster, more NSFW rhymes.  The bridge separates itself from the verses.  Still, all sections of “Out Alpha The Alpha” find the Grammy winner in her element being tough and giving no fucks. All told, this highlight from Dicks: The Musical is intriguing by all means.
