Who thinks of cha-cha slide interpolation recounted by Sexy Red?

The energy just builds and builds and reflects a core truth about Drake, something that Kendrick Lamar has said and what we all kind of know as pop fans since the Take Care era.

Drake's best work has been in the pop space.

His best songs are songs that people could pop ass to.

He's super comfortable.

And there's something about Sexy Red in the past few years that has brought this energy out of him.

The two of them work really well together.

And she's featured on Habib T, but I specifically think of 2023's track Rich Baby Daddy featuring SZA as well.

There's spiritual similarities here.

I mean, Sexy Red on Rich Baby Daddy is also giving instructional ass moves to the audience.

But, you know, for the record, Rich Baby Daddy is the most popular song off of that album for all the dogs.

So something is working.

I know you guys want an out to stop talking about Cheetah Prince.

So another favorite of mine off of Maid of Honor is the song BBW.

It is a slow build simmering R&B pop hybrid for most of it.

It starts off with Drake over these dark, Moog-esque synths.

As it goes on, the percussion comes in slowly, layer by layer.

And it feels like you're walking into the club, like it's coming through the walls.

It just builds and builds in a really satisfying way.

Oh, see, that's good.
