nnuendo? More like full-on sexual vibes! Welcome to After Dark 🕛 🌃, a column featuring songs that are best suited for nighttime, specifically, the bedroom.  Like Controversial Tunes 😈🎶, the records featured here raise eyebrows.  The difference between the songs of CONTROVERSY and DARK? These songs specifically focus on the universal topic of S-E-X. The dark records gracing After Dark are old and new alike, with all genres of music welcome.  On the 26th edition of After Dark, we explore the naughty, risqué & utterly sexual vibes behind, 🎵 “Finish Line” by 🎙 Trippie Redd


Theme & Lyrics

“She stick her tongue out, look back, and spell R-U-N.”  Wow, 🎙 Trippie Redd 👉👌! That’s the type of ‘shit’ the melodic rapper ‘runs’ on 🎵 “Finish Line.”  “Finish Line” appears as the fourth track on Redd’s 2021 album, 💿 Trip at Knight. On the naughty, sexed-up chorus, he goes on to say, “She just wanna have fun, she’s so sick and tired of love.” Apparently so!

Trippie Redd makes it clear that his girl wants the pleasure just as much as he’s willing to give it.  He paints her as ‘easy,’ asserting, “She’s a sex addict fiend and she’ll even fuck the plug (that’s me),” adding, “I be racin’ to that pussy, bet I hit the finish line.”  Hmm, 🍆 💦 seems fitting, given his lyrical assertions.  The filthy lyrics don’t stop there over the bright, enthusiastic production of 🎛 Hammad Beats and 🎛 RAFMADE. “Shawty looked me in my eyes and sucked the end of my gun” isn’t subtle in the least.  The vampire reference closing the sole verse also has an erotic sensibility – there’s just something about those blood suckers (“Put my fangs in her neck, now she can’t feel the sun”)!

Final Thoughts 💭 

Bitmoji ImageSafe to say, Trippie Redd serves up a filthy joint that runs just under two-and-a-half minutes.  There’s nothing transcendent about “Finish Line” as the rapper thinks with his pants primarily.  Even so, it’s entertaining to hear about Redd’s experiences, certainly the type of stuff tailor made for After Dark 🕛 🌃!
