Brooke Obie Reviews Issa Rae’s New Show Rap Sh!t
In 2018, Miami-bred rap duo City Girls (JT and Yung Miami) dropped the mixtape Period, featuring a song detailing their rise to success: “Rap Shit.”
My own daddy said I wouldn’t be shit / I looked at him, like we gon’ see bitch / I’m up now, I don’t give a fuck about my past bitch / I don’t really fuck with this rap shit
The track has all the elements of City Girls music: a braggadocio anthem for the girls who are defying the odds and making it in a fake, male dominated industry on their own terms, with your daddy’s money. Even as they share their real hardships, the mood is fun, something for the summertime, no matter the season.
