Ah, bring on Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot 🥵 at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo, and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 68^th edition of Midnight Heat (2025), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Gas Pedal” by Sage The Gemini.

“Black money, let them hoes say amen.” Oh, snap! Bay Area rapper and producer Sage The Gemini (Dominic Woods) dropped an irresistible, sexed-up banger with “Gas Pedal”. Beyond them hoes amen-ing, he references oral sex several times in the verse (“Room full of boppers, tell them give me topper,” and “Fee-fi-fo-fum, large meat in your throat, heh”), and, of course, ass (“Got a booty like Hoopz, I’m tryna to make-it, whoa”).  It doesn’t take long to see where Sage’s mind is and what he desires… “Gas Pedal” arrived in 2013 and initially appeared on the Gas Pedal EP. It reappeared as the fourth track from the rapper’s 2014 album, Remember Me.  Sage Gemini tapped rapper Iamsu! for the assist. Both rappers penned it, while Sage also produced it.  “Gas Pedal” peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Before he raps the first verse, Sage The Gemini establishes the tone with the chorus.  The H-h-h-h-holy shit! preceding the best and most memorable section of the song feels 100% accurate.  He brings it with a compelling cadence and flow over the minimal, but potent, dirty-sounding, minor-key, synth-led backdrop. “Slow down, grab the wall / Wiggle like you tryna make your ass fall off,” he spits, and continues, “Hella thick, I wanna smash ‘em all / Now speed up, gas pedal / Gas pedal (Gas pedal), gas pedal (Gas pedal).” Sage returns later with the bridge, keeping things carnal (“She got a booty so big it’s like a Ferris wheel”). Iamsu! raps the second verse, raising eyebrows with the bar, “And her boyfriend a bitch, call him Tyler Perry.” Like Sage, sex is still the modus operandi, whether it’s “On my way to the cake, no bakery,” referencing booty, or “Got two hoes with me, make my old bitch hate me.” “Gas Pedal” lacks substance, but the sex conveyed and the swagger of Sage The Gemini and Iamsu! is lit. It’s not shocking this top 40 hit earned a revival via TikTok, specifically, the dance called yiking.
