Tyga & Curtis Roach, Bored in the House | Wacky Wednesday 💎

On Wacky Wednesday, we examine the simple but relatable Tyga and Curtis Roach coronavirus fueled collaboration, “Bored in the House.”

Wacky Wednesday is reserved for an intriguing song or piece of music that’s out of the ordinary – definitely ear catching.  What better way to celebrate hump day, right?  Let’s get wacky on Wednesday, April 15, 2020 with “Bored in the House”, courtesy of Tyga and Curtis Roach.  No, “Bored in the House” isn’t nearly as complex as Bon Iver’s “21 M◊◊N WATER” from Weekly Gems No. 2, but it’s certainly wacky!

“Okay, I’m bored in the house and I’m in the house bored / Bored in the house and I’m the house bored.” Curtis Roach and Tyga are ‘relatable’ on this utterly dumb, minimalist banger. Both rappers were bored AF, so they decided to make us all less bored with the minimalist, COVID-19 banger, “Bored in the House.” Neither says anything noteworthy but “Bored in the House” has more relevance than it ordinarily might, given the times.

“Bored in the House” hearkens back to the skeletal bangers of old. After Roach ‘brings it on home’ with the chorus and the utterly repetitive post-chorus (“I’m bored, bored…”), Tyga goes into his usual, sexed-up spill. Even if he’s ‘healthy at home,’ he still thinks with his penis: “At home like Depot, ayy (Depot) / She gon’ suck it like mosquito, ayy.” Yeah, really rousing stuff there…Roach gets his own verse, setting the mood with the lyrics, “I’m in the crib like an infant / With some Badu playin’, burning incense.” He also delivers intriguing lines such as “I’ma socialize at a distance / I’m living my best life, minding my business” and more specific examples of epic boringness like “Ramen noodles every night for my din-din / Hulu, binge watchin’ episodes of Ben-10.”  Sure, “Bored in the House” goes hella dumb and lacks transcendence, but it certainly lifts the spirit. “Bored in the House” was also featured on the playlist, 15 Boring Songs That Are Totally Exciting.
