In the 6^th edition of Rap BNGRZ 🔥 (2023), we break down the banger status of “Superhero (Heroes & Villains),” performed by Metro Boomin, Future & Chris Brown. 

“Drinking dope turned me to a superhero.” Bring on the braggadocio, drip, sex, and kickassery, 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 6^th edition of Rap BNGRZ 🔥 (2023), we break down the banger status of 🎵 “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)” performed by 🎙 Metro Boomin, 🎙 Future, and 🎙 Chris Brown.

Producer extraordinaire 🎙 Metro Boomin came out swinging on his 2022 album, 💿 HEROES & VILLAINS, which debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard 200.  Among the highlights from HEROES & VILLAINS is the title track, 🎵 “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)”, the second track on the album.  Metro Boomin produces what commences as a malicious trap production alongside 🎛 Allen Ritter and DAVID x ELI.

Much of “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)” is dominated by 🎙 Future, who is on fire from the jump during the SUPERHERO portion of the song. Yes, it is Future who asserts dope turned him into a superhero.  Beyond that absurd line, he drops no shortage of colorful, outlandish one-liners.  He’s ratchet in several instances, whether it be, “Shout out to Dallas, my bitch is a star,” “Bitch get graphic, fuck me in a car,” or many drug references, such as “Selling the bowls, bitch do yoga / I deserve awards, serving these boulders.” Even with ‘Pluto’ putting in much of the heavy lifting, things change. Near the end of “Superhero (Heroes & Villains),” there is a distinct production/beat switch, which eliminates predictability.  Sure, things were hot with Future spitting his non-transcendent $hi†, but the entrance of 🎙 Chris Brown provides the opportunity for the VILLAIN to enter the picture, in all his hellishness! The 🏆 Grammy winner sings, “Soon as you up, these niggas wanna bring you down / The weight of the world sit on my shoulders, hold the crown / I ain’t got a cap so I can’t save you now.” Woo! 🎵 “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)” = surefire Rap BaNGeR 🔥!
