"Cash Shit" is a song by American rapper Megan Thee Stallion featuring fellow American rapper DaBaby. It was released on May 17, 2019 as the third single of her debut commercial mixtape, Fever.[2] The track would later peak at number one on Urban radio in the United States,[3] as well as number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] This song was later featured in the fictional iFruit Radio in Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version).[5]

Billboard magazine ranked "Cash Shit" thirtieth on their 100 Best Songs of 2019 list.[6] Complex named it the eleventh best song of the year,[7] while Pitchfork listed it twelfth on their 100 Best Songs of 2019 list.[8]

Music and lyrics

[edit | edit source]

"Cash Shit" is a hip hop song that features a booming beat.[6][8] In the intro of the song, Megan raps "Yeah, I'm in my bag, but I'm in his too", a line Pitchfork's Rawiya Kameir labeled as "capitalist-feminism".[8] In Megan's opening verse, she twice "interrupts herself and jumps back a few bars to repeat her punchlines".[6] Complex's Shawn Setaro said the song contains the "best elements from both artists: Megan's humor and in-your-face sexuality, and DaBaby's flowing triplet rhythms and perfectly timed pauses."[7]

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

"Cash Shit" received acclaim from critics, with many praising Megan Thee Stallion's and DaBaby's verses. The song was given a "VERY HOTTTTT [sic]" rating by Milca P. of HotNewHipHop, and was labeled "an effort laced in impalpable swagger and confidence."[9] Writing for Tiny Mix Tapes, Eli Schoop praised the song as "downright nasty".[10] In a review of Fever by The New York Times, and praised the line "I'm a finesser and I'm a fly dresser/Move to the top floor and flew in my dresser" as "an unlikely image crash landing into a conventional boast".[11] Trent Clark of HipHopDX praised Megan's and DaBaby's performances, saying that the song "highlights why both Southern stars are among the most entertaining rappers out"[12]

The song's production also received praise, with The New York Times calling it "ominous and spacious"[11] and The Fader branding it as "refined".[13]

Music video

[edit | edit source]

Two "much-hyped" music videos were teased, but subsequently abandoned.[8] On July 14, Megan released a trailer via social media[14] (featuring DaBaby) of what appeared to be a trailer for a short film/music video, directed by Hype Williams, titled "Fever Thee Movie".[15] Later in May 2020, Megan confirmed that if her song "Savage" goes number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, she would drop the video/short film.[16]
