Bitter Raps

Bitter Raps

WESTSIDE BOOGIE

One of the more popular tracks from his debut album Thirst 48, “Bitter Raps” lets us see Boogie killing all kinds of people, verse by verse.

He opens by warning of bitterness, but often straddles the line between opinion and bitterness: there’s a sense of potential hypocrisy that he is more aware of as the song goes on, finally saying admitting that he’s prolly on the same thing.

This idea of hypocrisy also ties to the bigger ideas of the album Thirst 48: the tension (and maybe difference) between Boogie’s own thirstiness, his own hunger for making it and the thirstiness of others – those who aren’t acting right in the name of getting women, attention on social media, power, fame, etc.
