I was surprised how palatable this song was in regards to curse words, a pleasant surprise in today’s rap music landscape. It could be that Flau’jae is keeping her image neat and tidy since she’s clearly representing LSU basketball in the video, as well as protecting her image for a future in the WNBA. Lil Wayne doesn’t have either of those things to worry about so there are a handful of muted words in his verse of the song. Even if it’s literally untrue, the pair drop lines about how they’ve been amazing since day 1. The also name-drop a lot of stars. Watch the video and see if you can catch all the famous people they reference, then scroll down for the answers!
How many did you come up with? If you guessed 8, you would be correct! They start with the most famous LSU alumni in the basketball world (and he’s a rapper, too), Shaquille O’Neal. After that, they move on to Kobe Bryant. The rest of the list is as follows:
Deion Sanders
Elon Musk
Angel Reese
Joe Burrow x2
Cristiano Ronaldo
Coach Kim Mulkey
Two interesting things about the people they chose to include in the lyrics. Elon Musk, who’s generally shunned by the more liberal-leaning folks in society. Kind of like Donald Trump being name-dropped (and guest appearing on popular TV shows) up until he was President. Joe Burrow, currently LSU’s most famous football alumni, is mentioned not once, but twice– each of the rappers using him to rhyme in the lyrics.
What do you think about the song? Is there anyone else you would’ve liked to be included in the name-dropping lyrics?
