It Sounds Amazing"},"content":{"rendered":"
<\/div>\n

A Boogie wit da Hoodie<\/a>\u2018s \u201cMood Swings\u201d sounds like a reference track. The entire chorus is built around the Highbridge rapper avoiding the last syllable of a word, as if he\u2019s forgotten mid-thought that he\u2019s a multi-platinum rapper performing in a recording booth. Over a frantic Wheezy beat, words like \u201cproblem\u201d and \u201cbestie\u201d are elongated into \u201cproblemmmmmhmmmss\u201d and \u201cbestiummmmmmmsss\u201d and smoothed over with a layer of vocal processing. The effect is something akin to strapping Kid Cudi to a massage chair and recording what happens.<\/p>\n

Nearly everything about \u201cMood Swings\u201d feels unfinished, but it miraculously works despite its thrown-together nature. Never mind that the chorus\u2019 hackneyed boast, \u201cI\u2019m a GOAT, I\u2019m a\u2005God \/ I\u2019m a beast, I\u2019m a God\u201d feels lifted from two different Kanye West songs (2010\u2019s \u201cMonster\u201d and 2011\u2019s \u201cNo Church In The Wild). Or that A Boogie decided to rap \u201cI be feelin\u2019 like Batman, and my niggas always robbin’\u201d like Fetty Wap, Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, and countless others before him. When lyrics fail him, it\u2019s the hums that save the whole proceeding.<\/p>\n
