Meg Thee Stallion

American rapper Megan Thee Stallion, who broke onto the music scene in 2017, celebrates her 27th birthday today. And on this, her cake day, here are a few Stallion tracks to add to your rap playlist.

Meg Thee Stallion has been known for her signature raunchy behaviour and lyrics. Proclaiming herself as ‘That Bitch’. Be warned as the content of her songs and accompanying music videos ahead are quite explicit.

8. Cry Baby

Released on her debut album Good News, Cry Baby features frequent collaborator, American rapper DaBaby. Both rappers talk about their sex lives, speaking proudly of their high sex count.

The single’s instrumental is built around a crying sample and features a heavy-hitting beat.

7. Shots Fired

Released in November of 2020 from her Good News album, Shots Fired is the first single from the project. In the single, Meg addresses an incident which took place earlier that year. She claims that Canadian rapper Tory Lanez told her to dance before shooting at her feet.

The song aims to end the conversation around the shooting incident and the rest of the track focuses on what the rapper had to say. Shots Fired samples I’m Afraid the Masquerade Is Over by David Porter.

6. Thot Sh*t

Produced by Shawn ‘Source’ Jarrett, OG Parker & LilJuMadeDaBeat, Thot Sh*t was her first solo single of 2021 from her Something For the Hotties album.

On the track, which is quite similar to some of her previous, such as Body and Savage, Meg raps quite confidently over some of her successes which included at the time, her pending graduation from the Texas Southern University.

5. Big Ole Freak

Released in 2018 as part of her Tina Snow EP, Big Ole Freak is an explicit and unapologetic anthem for sexiness and confidence

The most streamed song from the EP, Big Ole Freak was this single that placed attention on the artiste, propelling her on to the mainstream.

Speaking on the hip hop/rap track, the artiste said: “It’s about me being confident in my sexuality, and other women not being scared of being confident.”

4. Girls In The Hood

Another track from the rapper’s Good News album, the IllaDaProducer & Scott Storch track was announced on social media two days prior to its release.

Featuring lyrics about her haters, and sampling one of Eazy-E’s songs, Meg received backlash from Eazy-E’s daughter, Henree Cherron Wright (ReEmarkable), who was frustrated at the fact that the rapper didn’t get clearance to use his song.

However, Ebie Wright, another daughter of the late rapper praised Thee Stallion for paying homage to her father.

3. Body

One of her most popular songs, on Body, the rapper talks about her desirably figure which has made her the envy of the other women and the fantasy of their men.

This is fourth track from her debut album, Good News.

2. Savage Remix

Featuring megastar Beyoncé, the Savage remix was released in 2020. The original song was released in 2019 and featured on her EP Suga.

On the remix, the rapper creates an entire new verse and trades bars with the Love On Top vocalist, who adds backing vocals, an intro and two verses one of which she shares with the rapper.

The rapper was quite ecstatic about the collaboration, crying when she learnt about the single.

“I got a call one day and they were like, ‘Yeah… Beyoncé’s gonna do a remix of ‘Savage. …I was like, ‘Shut the f— up!’ I didn’t believe it.”

Respecting the Hold Up singer’s private methods, Thee Stallion kept the information to herself, proudly sharing that she didn’t tell her best friend during the process.

1. WAP

One of the most explicit and sexual songs with an equally explicit and sexual accompanying music video, WAP which features Meg, gained popularity very quickly, perhaps due to its very lewd content.

Released as Cardi B’s first song in 2020, the track and its bass-heavy beat had Cardi’s record company Atlantic Records worried due to the explicit nature.

The label, which loved the song but feared the controversy it would spark, went as far as to ask tfor a new record to be created from both her and Meg.

“When [the label] heard the song they were like, “We really like it, but that song is so explicit.” … They were like, “Can you please get another record and you could put Megan on it?” And I was like, “No.”

Although the song did spark some amount of controversy with its release, it was also widely praised.
