Yeat, “Rich Minion” | Track Review 🎵

Portland rapper Yeat, inspired by The Minions, makes an intriguing, money-centric rap banger, “Rich Minion.”

[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”“I” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”][/otw_shortcode_dropcap] call my Minion my children (children) / I call my children my Minions.” Um, okay, 🎙 Yeat – whatever you say! “We taking over the world (The world) / We make a whole lot of millions.” The Portland rapper, who’s in his early 20s, has been on the up-and-up – ah, the come-up! Sigh, it’s too bad his single, 🎵 “Rich Minion”, didn’t end up on the 💿 Minions: The Rise of Gru soundtrack.  Nonetheless, “Young Minion” is an interesting record.

Yeat brings plenteous energy to “Rich Minion” – it’s a vibe from the start.  Following the intro by The Minions (😂), the rapper unveils the chorus, which includes the excerpted lyrics.  The big takeaway, beyond the “Minion my children” is money, money, and more money! Money, of course, is a common theme in rap, no matter how shallow it can be. Backed by a beat produced by 🎛 LOTTO, Yeat makes it clear that money is a big, big deal.  Of course, besides talking about “the bands,” he makes it clear he doesn’t like Vector – “Yeah, I don’t like Vector (Take ‘em out)” – woo!

Final Thoughts 💭

So, will 🎵 “Rich Minion” by Yeat change your life? Um no. That said, it’s cool that he concocted this joint.  Is the hype for the rapper legitimate? I can see why people are into him, even if I’m still on the fence how I feel about him. I enjoyed the vibe – the aesthetic of “Rich Minion” all told.
