Moneybagg Yo, “Blow” | Track Review

Memphis rapper Moneybagg Yo delivers a surefire banger with his confident, hard-nosed, and unapologetic single, “Blow.”

“Okay, let’s blow a bag, it’s my birthday…” Um, sure, Moneybagg Yo, if you insist! The hard-nosed Memphis rapper is back with a surefire banger in “Blow”. “Blow” doesn’t have a substantial message – it’s devoid of depth – but it’s incredibly entertaining.  Given the superb production by DrumGod, ShortyyK, and Rizzo8, this is the perfect trunk-rattler.

The biggest draw beyond that badass backdrop is the tough-minded, unapologetic flow of Moneybagg Yo.  He brings confidence, cockiness, and masculine energy that’s tailor made for trap – no cap.  Following the intro, he drops the endearing, give-no-Fs chorus, where he “Blow a lot of money on” a variety of things: dope, guns, diamonds, rent, opps… Woo! That blowing precedes the verses, which incorporate drip, substances, sex – the typical rap clichés.  At the end of the first verse, Moneybagg asserts, “Your gangsta don’t matter no more, she went and told one of my other ones / That’s why I cut the ho off (Be gone), that’s why I don’t fuck with the ho no more.” Well, at least he’s honest, right? Right! The second verse is more of the same – drip, substances, and sex. Have you noticed how sex-positive rappers are? Just an observation.

Final Thoughts

All in all, Moneybagg Yo delivers an entertaining banger that has replay value in “Blow”.  It won’t change your life, let alone the world, but, it’s worthwhile.  Whether you need to turn up in the car, the crib, or the trap, Moneybagg Yo has got you covered.
