Megan Thee Stallion debut LP is the explosive victory-lap we were expecting

is hardly a pivot to socially conscious rap. Megan does once more call for justice for Taylor on the opening track, “Shots Fired,” which also claps back at Lanez for his petty swipes against her. But her smackdown of Lanez feels almost incidental to the broader claim being made here–when she rhymes over the instrumental hook from The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Who Shot Ya?” Meg implicitly asserts that she’s entitled to rewrite rap history in her own curvaceous image.

Such a stance is nothing new for the rapper who already effortlessly inserted herself into badass rap classics from NWA and Tupac . Meg adopts male rap’s bragadocious pride with a breezy nonchalance as she expands on her three timeless themes–men ain’t shit , her pussy is unrivalled, and her ass is peerless–in rhymes as expansive as “If I wasn’t me and I would’ve seen myself, I would have bought me a drink/Took me home, did me long, ate it with the panties on.

seem apprehensive, as if questioning the rapper’s ability to hold down a full commercial album on her own. The most glaring attempt at novelty is “Intercourse,” a DJ Mustard production that requires Jamaican singer Popcaan to attempt to endow the cold shower of a phrase “sexual intercourse” with some semblance of sensuality.

If the sung choruses here sometimes feel grafted on, that’s because, as every rear that hoisted itself skyward to “W.A.P” will attest, Megan’s own flow is musical enough to offer its own hooks without outside ornamentation. A track like “Body” shows Megan’s pop strengths as she stretches the title into a stream of ody-ody-odys so bouncy you can practically see booties popping to the beat.
